Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Receives Patent for Data Transmission Method Using Digital Image Processing

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Researchers at Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. have developed a method for transmitting data without the need for a separate transceiver, utilizing a display device and a camera. This innovative approach allows for synchronization of transmitted data between the sending and receiving ends, enabling efficient and reliable data transfer.

Key Takeaways:

  • The patent, filed on April 12, 2013, and published online on September 1, 2015, describes a method for data communication using digital image processing, which converts data to be transmitted into Red/Green/Blue (RGB) data of a predetermined format and displays it on a screen.
  • The inventor, Kim Taesoo, proposes a method for transmitting data using digital image processing, which includes displaying a reference image with preset image quality, determining whether a confirmation signal indicating that transmission of data is possible is received within a preset time, and displaying a corrected reference image with image quality differing from the preset image quality when the confirmation signal is not received within the preset time.
  • Another aspect of the invention involves an apparatus for transmitting data using digital image processing, including a display unit, a memory, a signal receiver, and a controller that controls the display of reference images, determines whether a confirmation signal is received, and controls the display of corrected reference images when the confirmation signal is not received.
  • The method and apparatus also include a camera module for photographing an image, and a controller for controlling the photographing of a reference image with preset quality, comparing the quality of the photographed image with the image quality of the photographed reference image, and changing the quality of the photographed image when transmission of data is possible.
  • The patent covers various aspects of the invention, including methods for transmitting and receiving data using digital image processing, and apparatuses for implementing these methods.
