PHILPS lighting indoor positioning system integrates PHILPS visible light communication technology, Bluetooth technology and smart phone inertial sensor technology, positioning accuracy of 30 cm. Mobile phone information can be pushed, and data analysis. Visible light communication technology through the smart phone camera (rather than the human eye) to capture the specific lighting of each lighting point to achieve the transmission of location information. The individual data stream of the lighting system will not collect any personal data.
