The present invention has been developed considering the above-described
problems and aims to provide various structures and applications for
illuminative light communication. According to the first aspect of the
prevent invention, a broadcast system includes an LED light source 115
for lighting, a power line 103 that supplies electric power to the LED
light source 115, a data modulator 102 that modulates and multiplexes a
plurality of pieces of data, superimposes the resulting signal on an
electric power waveform, and then transmits the resulting superimposed
signal waveform to the power line 103, and a filter 112 that selectively
separates one or more of a plurality of pieces of modulated data on the
power line so as to control light intensity or blinking of the LED light
source. Data is transmitted through changes in light intensity or
blinking of the LED light source.
