Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: identifying and annotating at least one object in received image, video, and/or point cloud data, wherein the identifying and/or annotating is automatically performed at least in part; calculating the numerical value of the annotation of the at least one object, wherein the numerical value is calculated at least in part on the basis of a degree of the correlation of a dimension of a visual annotation in relation to a dimension of the at least one object and/or of a correlation of a conceptual identifier of the at least one object with the at least one object and/or of a conceptual identifier of at least one sensor detecting the at least one object with the at least one sensor; and assigning the calculated numerical value to the at least one object.

Abstract: A signaling protocol for a client and a server in a communications environment includes providing information about another communication environment to at least one of the client and the server.
