section talking about bluetooth le audio |
ooo |
that was a whistle stop tour through the main parts of the generic audio framework we |
will see even more specifications appear in gaf in the future but for now the ones described |
above emulate and expand on the audio functionality that bluetooth has today with the classic |
audio profiles |
in the remainder of the book well see how baps bap bass as cs and pacs form the |
core of everything that you do with bluetooth le audio the other specifications add |
usability and functionality while cap glues it all together as a first step well look at some |
of the new concepts which have been necessary to address the bluetooth le audio |
requirements |
chapter new concepts in bluetooth le audio |
chapter new concepts in bluetooth le audio |
to provide designers with the flexibility they need the new bluetooth le audio specifications |
have introduced some important new concepts in this chapter well look at wh at they do |
and why they are needed because these features are closely integrated into the specifications |
some of the descriptions below will become clearer as we dive down into the detail of the |
core and the gaf however its useful to introduce them at this stage as they pervade much |
of what follows |
multi profile by design |
as weve seen one of the challenges faced by bluetooth classic audio has been the multi |
profile issue where users change between streaming music making phone calls and using |
voice recognition as the complexity of audio use cases continues to increase th at problem |
wont improve the two successful classic bluetooth audio profiles hands free profile |
hfp and music streaming adp were designed at a time where users were assumed to use |
one or the other starting new independent sessions as they moved from phone calls to music |
it soon became apparent that these wer e not independent functions but that phone users |
would expect one use case to interrupt the other over the years the industry has developed |
rules and methods to address this problem culminating in the publication of the multi profile |
specification mp s in which essentially collects sets of rules for common transitions |
between these profiles |
the multi profile specification is not particularly flexible and didnt foresee the emergence of |
new use cases such as voice recognition voice assistants and interruptions from gps satnavs |
nor are the underlying specifications particularly versatile although hfp has gone through |
multiple versions and spawned around twenty complementary specifications addressing |
specific aspects of car to phone interacti on it still struggles to keep up with non cellular voip |
telephony applications neither it nor adp have sufficiently addressed the changing nature |
of audio where users connect to multiple different audio sources during the course of a day |
and might also own multiple different headsets and earbuds |
from the start bluetooth le audio was developed with the philosophy that it would support |
multi profile by design it recognised that users might have multiple headsets and audio |
sources constantly cha nging connections in an ad hoc manner the addition of broadcast |
audio makes this even more important as the projected uptake of broadcast in venues shops |
leisure facilities and travel would extend the number of different connections a user is likely |
to make each day it was obviously going to be important to provide tools to make the user |
experience seamless |
the audio sink led journey |
alongside these demands came a realization that the phone would not necessarily remain the |
centre of the audio universe which had been a tacit assumption throughout the evolution of |
section terminology |
the bluetooth classic audio specif ications as an increasing number of different audio |
sources became available it was important to consider how a user would conne ct their earbuds |
or hearing aids through the course of the day this turned the perceived view of a phone |
centric audio world on its head replacing it with the concept of an audio sink led journey |
its an approach where the phone is no longer the arbiter of what you listen to instead it |
assumes that users are increasingly likely to wear a pair of hearing aids or earbuds throughout |
the day constantly changing their audio source it may start wit h an alarm clock followed by |
asking your voice assistant to turn your radio on information from a bus stop voice control |
for your computer receiving phone calls interruptions from the doorbell and relaxing in front |
of the tv when you get home until t he microwave tells you that your dinner is ready this |
conceptual turnaround regarding who is in control takes a lot from the experience of hearing |
aid wearers who typically wear their hearing aids for most of the day for a large part of that |
time th e hearing aid works without any bluetooth link just listening to and reinforcing the |
sound around the wearer but the wearer can connect it to a wide number of infrastructure |
audio sources supermarket checkout machines public transport information th eatres and |
auditoria and tvs as well as phones and music players if they support bluetooth classic |
audio its functionality that many more consumers are likely to use once it becomes widely |
available |
phones will of course remain a major source of au dio but increasingly so are pcs laptops |
tvs tablets hi fi and voice assistants theyre also being joined by a range of smart home |
devices from doorbells to ovens at the same time consumers are buying more headsets its |
not uncommon for someone to own a pair of sleep buds a set of earbuds a pair of stereo |
headphones and a soundbar or bluetooth speakers as the potential combinations multiply |
its vital that the user interfaces can accommodate this range of different connections and the |
trans itions between them |
terminology |
different parts of the bluetooth le audio specifications use different names for the |
transmitting and receiving devices and what they do each specification refers to these as |
roles so by the time weve gone from the core to a top level profile we will have accumulated |
at least four different roles for each device there is a very good reason for this as each step |
up the stack results in more specificity within those roles with the result that devices can |
implement spec ific combinations to fulfil a targeted function but they can get confusing |
