Radio frequency identification discontinuity correction is provided by calculating a phase-time slope for a Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) signal received from an RFID tag; estimating, based on the phase-time slope, a predicted phase reading for the RFID signal at a given time; and in response to detecting a phase discontinuity based on a difference between the predicted phase reading and an actual phase reading for the given time, adjusting a calculated distance to the RFID tag. The calculated distance may indicate that the RFID tag is inside of or outside of a designated zone, and that a motion of the RFID tag indicates travel towards or away from the designated zone, which may be used to add or remove an item associated with the RFID tag to an ongoing item list.

Method, computer program product, and system to prioritize the execution of processing task requests in a task request queue, where the processing task requests are related to an environment. The method includes adding processing task requests to a task request queue in response to the detection of predefined actions in an environment. The method also includes adding additional processing task requests or adjusting a priority level of not yet completed task requests in the task request queue, in response to detecting subsequent predefined actions in the environment.

Sensor-enabled prioritization of processing task requests in an environment

Systems and methods for managing the processing of information acquired by sensors within an environment are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes multiple sensors configured to acquire information about an environment. The system may also include computing devices that are each operatively connected to a respective one of the sensors. Further, each computing device may be configured to determine an object and/or action within the environment based on the acquired information. The system may include a processing manager configured to determine whether a first computing device among the plurality of computing devices does not have predetermined resource availability for determining the object and/or action. The processing manager may control the first computing device to communicate the information to a second computing device for determining the one of the object and action in response to determining that the first computing device does not have the predetermined resource availability.

Systems and methods for processing modifiable files grouped into themed directories for presentation of web content are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes grouping a plurality of modifiable files into one or more directories for use by a World Wide Web application. Further, the method includes associating a unique theme with the one or more directories. The method also includes processing the files based on the theme for presenting web content.
