1. A data processing device, comprising:
a microprocessor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, perform the operations, comprising:
receiving camera data representative of coded light, wherein:
the coded light was captured by a camera in images, the coded light having been emitted by an equipment comprising a light emitting diode,
the camera data is a subset of image data related to a region of interest of the equipment,
the region of interest was determined from flashing light emitted by the light emitting diode at a lower frequency than the coded light, and
the region of interest is a smaller area of a surface area of the user equipment, wherein the region of interest comprises the light emitting diode;
processing the camera data;
determining, based on the processing, equipment data associated with the equipment; and
facilitating outputting of information related to the equipment data.
