Infrared

Infrared (IR) connection methods and receivers involve the techniques and devices used for wireless communication using infrared light.

• Line-of-Sight Communication: Requires a direct line of sight between devices.
• Infrared Transceivers: Devices that can both send and receive IR signals.
• Infrared Data Association (IrDA): Standard for infrared communication with defined protocols.
• Remote Controls: Use IR technology to send commands to devices.
• Infrared Receivers: Detect and decode incoming IR signals.
• Data Encoding: Infrared signals can be encoded for different types of information.
• Security Considerations: Relatively secure within line-of-sight limitations but lacks encryption.
