Control requests and messages
To control a running component, system level requests can be sent. These requests will not be passed on to the message handlers (on_request and on_message). These requests should inherit from SICControlRequest.
...
SICPingRequest - A ping message to check if a component is active. Should be answered with a reply by sending back a SICPongMessage.
...
ConnectRequest - A request for a component to start listening to some some channel. The messages on this channel will be passed onto the on_message callback.
...
SICSuccessMessage - A message indicating succes, for example responding to a ConnectRequest.
...
SICStopRequest - A request for the component to shut down.
...
A ComponentManager is responsible for running specific components. For example, on your computer, you might have a ComponentManager responsible for running device components such as microphone, camera, and speaker. You might also have a ComponentManager responsible for the FaceDetection service.
