LiFi Location Services as a Prerequisite to System Activation

Abstract:

An approach is disclosed that receives location data from a location based device via a Light Fidelity (LiFi) wireless communication adapter. A LiFi receiver at the receiving system is within a direct line-of-sight to a LiFi transmitter of the location based device. The received location data is then provided to a bootable network asset, such as a virtual machine (VM) or application container running on the system. The bootable network asset then determines whether to operate based on the received location data.
