Abstract: Automated methods and apparatuses for charging or fueling a vehicle, include, in embodiments, the CA/AD system of a vehicle, having a charging or fueling port, being provided with an apparatus having a plurality of tags and a controller. The plurality of tags are respectively installed at a plurality of positions on a top face of a roof of the vehicle. The controller is provided to the CA/AD system. The controller is configured to cause information about the charging or fueling port to be transmitted (e.g., via LED tags) to the charging or fueling system of the charging or fueling station. The charging or fueling system, provided with a charging connector or fueling nozzle, and an imaging device, uses at least the information about the charging or fueling port and the plurality of positions of the plurality tags to determine a location of the charging or fueling port of the vehicle, to charge or fuel the vehicle.

Abstract: Optical wireless communication techniques are described and claimed. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to method and apparatus to provide optical signaling with visible light having variable pulse position modulation (VPPM). The optical signal includes a Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) which indicates beginning of an asynchronous optical signaling. The VPPM signaling includes a lower frequency time varying amplitude component that when subsampled by a low frame rate camera results in alias induced flicker or blinking. Such signals are quickly recognizable as signals with modulated data. In another embodiment, the disclosure provides a system, device and method for decoding a Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) to indicate arrival of incoming VPPM optical data.
