A parse module calibrates an interior space by parsing objects and words out of an image of the scene and comparing each parsed object with a plurality of stored objects. The parse module further selects a parsed object that is differentiated from the stored objects as the first object and stores the first object with a location description. A search module can detect the same objects from the scene and use them to determine the location of the scene.

Interior location identification

A method for packaging an application, for use with a system comprising the application and a plurality of libraries, the method comprising: in response to runtime execution of the application, monitoring library data associated with at least one of the plurality of libraries that is invoked by the application; associating the library data with an identifier of the application; and using the library data and the application identifier to create a package comprising the application and the at least one of the plurality of libraries.

Packaging an application with plurality of libraries

A first message published by a first publisher, including a message header and payload data, is received. The payload data within the first received message is identified, extracted, and stored. A second message published by a second publisher, including function data that provides a function to modify the payload data, is received. The function data within the second received message is identified, extracted, and stored. The extracted and stored payload data is modified using the stored function. A third message, including the modified payload data, is created for distribution to a subscriber configured to process the modified payload in the third message.

Subscriber message payload handling

Message routing in a publish/subscribe system where messages are routed from one or more publishers to one or more subscribers according to respective defined paths through a topic tree. A pseudo-topic tree path comprised of a partial path definition and a selection function is specified by a subscriber or publisher. When executed, the selection function searches the topic tree to identify one or more path definition segments, which segments replace the selection function in the pseudo-topic tree path to generate one or more complete path definitions that are then usable for routing messages.
