Modular wall unit system

A method of operating a modular system, the method comprising:

• establishing an electronic communication between a host unit and one or more additional host units in a building, wherein the host unit is embedded within a support structure of a building;
• determining a distance from the host unit to the one or more additional host units based on the electronic communication between the host unit and the one or more additional host units;
• and
• generating a floor plan for the building based on the determined distance(s) from the host unit to the one or more additional host units, wherein generating the floor plan includes determining a set of possible orthogonal walls, each possible orthogonal wall defined by three or more co-linearly positioned host units.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a host unit configured to be coupled to a support structure of a building and configured to:
• receive and house an accessory;
• and
• electrically couple to an electrical source,
• the host unit including:
• a power gating module, controlled by the one or more processors, and configured to couple electrical power from the electrical source to the accessory;
• and
• a communication module, controlled by the one or more processors, and configured to communicate with one or more additional host units installed in the building, wherein the communication module communicates by sending or receiving communication data with the one more additional host units,
• wherein the communication data is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
• determine a distance between the host unit and each of the one or more additional host units based on the communication with the one or more additional host units;
• and
• generate a floor plan of the building based at least on the distance from the host unit to each of the one or more additional host units, wherein generating the floor plan includes determining a set of possible orthogonal walls, each possible orthogonal wall defined by three or more co-linearly positioned host units.
