ABSTRACT:
A data processing system has a host computer which is coupled to a light source. The light source illuminates an area surrounding said light source and also transmits data sent to it by the host computer by modulating the light that it generates. A multiplicity of small data processing devices use photodiodes to receive both power and data from the light source. The photodiodes generate an electrical voltage which provide power to a microprocessor. A demodulator, coupled to that electrical voltage, detects peaks in the voltage which are interpreted by the microprocessor so as to regenerate the data transmitted by the light source. The microprocessor then interprets the received data and performs a task or command specified by the received data. In one embodiment, the microprocessor is coupled to an LCD display and the received data specifies what data is to be displayed on the LCD display.
