The visible light communication is a communication method of outputting binary data based on the illumination threshold value at the light receiving diode of the receiving unit, when the LED of the transmitting unit transmits light. However, separate receiver is necessary to receive the optical signal, there is a problem that a device not equipped with such a receiver can not utilize visible light communication. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a portable visible light receiver applicable to devices using USB OTG. Implemented portable visible light receiver converts the binary data received from the LED into a character string of ASCII code and transmits it to another device. Through data transmission experiments using smart phone confirmed that it is possible to transmit ASCII codes in the proposed method.
