Location Architecture

This aritecture is developed to support spatial reasoning, device and object transformations and hierarchical controlling of services and units within a Smart Environment.

Taxonomy

Placement

• base location_id
• position
  • translation
  • rotation
• shape

Location

• LocationConfig
  • Label
  • Placement
  • Set[Location] children
    • Placement of all Children are included in the parent shape.

Region

• is a Location
• Description: Logical spatial partition.
• Example: home theater, patio, entrance, interaction islands

Zone

• is a Location
• a zone can not directly contain any units.
• Has at least one child location
• a zone can not be a leaf.
• Description: A set of locations logically associate to on zone.
• Example: home[garden, house], house[all rooms], ground floor[...], first floor[...], ...

RootLocation

• is a Location without parent
• The whole placement must be covered by tiles.

Tile

• is a Region
• has a defined logical parent location
• A tile cannot overlap with other tiles.
• Set[Connection]
• TileType[Room, Garden]
• Example: Room, Garden

Connection

• Set[ Tile]
• ConnectionType[Door, Window, Passage]
• Implementations
  • Door
    • Set[Unit]
  • Window
    • Set[Unit]
  • Passage
    • Set[Unit]

Spatial Relation

• Locations organized by a tree structure

  • Nodes: Location
  • Leaf: Region
  • Allows spatial and hierarchical controlling
    • Controlling all devices/units/services in a defined Zone

• Location are connected via Connections to a graph structure

  • Nodes: Tile
  • Edges: Connection
  • Allows Spatial reasoning
    • path finding
    • Smoke expansion
    • Intrusion detection
    • Air conditioning
