Change identification filters during runtime

[THuppke]

Use case:
A person interacts with a virtual agent multimodally and says "Turn the volume of that speaker up" and points at a speaker. He/she then moves over to a different room, says "Turn the color of that light to green" and points at a light.

The use case shows that fixed filters regarding object type or location given on the start of the application may be too restrictive. Instead the identification-component could provide an rsb server interface that allows to specify object filters during runtime such as:

• location
• object type
• services
• metaconfig flags
• ...

In the use case the filtering could restrict the objects to only objects in the room in which the person is located and another component could then select the most applicable speaker/light to do the described action on.
