other tbs characteristics |
as mentioned above tbs contains a large number of other characteristics for the call contr ol |
server role these characteristics provide more detailed information about the phone call |
they can be read by more complex clients such as carkits which can use them to replicate |
the user experience of the phone by mirroring the level of informatio n which is available from |
the original telephony application |
table provides a list of the additional characteristics which have not been covered above |
all of the m are mandatory for a gtbs or tbs instance to support with the exception of the |
bearer signal strength characteristic and its dependent bearer signal strength reporting |
interval characteristic they are all described in the telephone bearer service speci fication |
section mcs and mcp |
characteristic name description |
bearer provider name telephony service eg vodafone t mobile |
bearer uniform caller identifier uci eg skype wtsap from assigned numbers |
bearer technology as displayed on the phone eg g g wi fi |
bearer signal strength optional signal strength from no signal to |
bearer signal strength reporting |
interval how often the signal strength is reported |
bearer uri schemes supported list a list of supported uri schemes |
bearer list current calls a list of all current calls and their state |
content control id ccid a ccid value which remains static until a service |
change |
incoming call target bearer uri the incoming uri of the call eg your phon es |
number |
table other characteristics specified in tbs |
there are corresponding procedures to rea d all of the tbs characteristics in the call control |
profile although support for most of the character istics in tbs are mandatory the only call |
control procedure which is mandatory is the read call state procedure this reflects the fact |
that for devices with a constrained user interface such as hearing aids and earbuds most |
control actions are likely to take place on the phone |
mcs and mcp |
once youve understood telephony control the media control specifications will look very |
familiar the media control profile defines two roles the media control client and the |
media control server the latter resides on an initiator where the media control service |
defines a state machine for media playback which is shown in figure along with a |
plethora of characteristics to notify what its doing |
chapter telephony and media control |
figure mcs state machine for media control |
for media the player normally resides in the inactive state moving to the paused state when |
a track is selected from which it can be transitioned to playing from playing it can return |
to paused by stopping it or be moved to the seeking state by issuing a fast forward or fast |
rewind command there is no stop state or command in the state machine for digital |
media there is no real distinction between the stop and pause command that difference |
harks back to analogue devices wher e stop turned off the motor of a record or cassette deck |
whereas pause left the motor running and lifted the stylus or playback head off the playback |
medium when everything is in digital memory the operations are the same |
groups and tracks |
the three ma in states paused playing and seeking are only valid when there is a current |
track selected which brings us to the concept of tracks and groups which is a key part of |
mcs figure illustrates the concept showing a hierarchy of groups which contain |
tracks it is entirely up to an implementation to define how these are structured but a group |
is probably best visualised as a traditional album where the tracks are individual songs |
groups can be nested to become parts of larger groups so a parent group c onsisting of the |
entire works of beethoven might contain subgroups of orchestral music chamber music |
piano vocal works etc which could each contain further collections of subgroups all that |
mcs requires is that there is a defined structure to creat e a playing order from the start of the |
first group to the end of the last group |
section mcs and mcp |
figure mcs arrangement of groups and tracks |
groups contain tracks which may also contain segments most of the mcp controls operate |
on tracks which are what most people would regard as conventional tracks on a record or |
cd specifically the operations of the state machine focus on the current track the key |
elements of a track are shown in figure which are the track duration offsets from |
either end of the track and the playing position |
figure key elements of a track |
chapter telephony and media control |
object types and search |
mcp and mcs include a lot of functionality to support complex user interfaces such as the |
screen of a cars av system most of this is based on the existing bluetooth le object |
transfer service ots which allows extended information to be associated with groups and |
tracks this includes extended names icons and urls which can be used to fetch more |
complex objects such as album covers ots is also used for returning search results mcs |
allows some very comprehensive se arch functions you can search using combinations of |
track name artist name album name group name earliest year latest year and genre |
for more information on these look at the msc specification theyre unlikely to be used in |
products in the sho rt term so ill skip the detail and concentrate on the key aspects of media |
control |
playing tracks |
with the structure of groups and tracks explained we can look at how media control works |
once a track is selected which is gener ally a user action on the media player the player will |
notify all of its connected clients using the track changed characteristic this characteristic |
has no value ie its empty but is a statement that the media player now has a current track |
so a client can start to control it a client can read the track title characteristic and the |
track duration characteristic it can also read the track position which is returned with a |
msec resolution from the start of the track the maximum track duration allowed is just |
over months |
a client can now write to the media control point characteristic with the values shown in |
