First Claim
1. A method for configuring at least one of a first device, a second device, and an application system, the application system utilized in a spatial unit, the spatial unit including at least a plurality of spatial subunits, the method comprising:
- determining a first spatial subunit in the spatial unit, the first spatial subunit related to the first device;
identifying, based on a result of the determining, a second device that is physically disposed in the first spatial subunit; and
configuring the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the application system using at least a first rule, the first rule involving at least the first device and the second device.

Abstract
A method for configuring at least one of a first device, a second device, and an application system is disclosed. The application system may be utilized in a spatial unit. The spatial unit may include a plurality of spatial subunits. The method may include determining a first spatial subunit in the spatial unit. The first spatial subunit may be related to the first device. The method may also include identifying, based on a result of the determining, a second device that is physically disposed in the first spatial subunit. The method may also include configuring the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the application system using at least a first rule, wherein the first rule may involve at least the first device and the second device.
