摘要:
A system for determining the position of a portable device (501) relative to a luminaire (100, 503) is disclosed. The system comprises at least one luminaire (100, 503) that comprises at least two light emitters (101A, 101B) for emitting light that comprises a light signature identifying the light emitter from which the light is originated. The system further comprises an optical system (102) that creates a position specific distribution (103) of the light emitted by the two light emitters (101A, 101B). This light can be sensed by a portable device (501) comprising a sensor for sensing light, a memory for storing distribution information indicative of the distribution of the light emitted via the optical system (102) and a processor coupled to the light sensor for receiving data on the sensed light and coupled to the memory to get access to the information stored in the memory. The processor is arranged to determine the position of the portable device (501) relative to the luminaire (100, 503) on the basis of light sensed and the distribution information (103). Using the relative position, the absolute position of the portable device (501) in a space can be determined by using information on the position of the luminaire in said space.
