Hi all, This is the new design of the HDP API that we designed using the Marcel's recomendations. Regards. BlueZ D-Bus Health API description ********************************** Santiago Carot-Nemesio <sancane@xxxxxxxxx> José Antonio Santos-Cadenas <santoscadenas@xxxxxxxxx> Elvis Pfützenreuter <epx@xxxxxxxxxxx> Health Device Profile hierarchy =============================== Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.HealthAdapter Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...} Methods: path CreateApplication(object path, dict config) Returns the path of the new created application. The path parameter is the path of the object with the callbacks to notify events (see org.bluez.HealthAgent at the end of this document) This petition starts an mcap instance and also register a proper record in the SDP if is needed. Dict is defined as bellow: { "end_points" : [{ (optional) "role" : ("source" or "sink"), (mandatory) "specs" :[{ (mandatory) "data_type" : uint16, (mandatory) "description" : string, (optional) }] }] } Application will be closed by the call or implicitly when the programs leaves the bus. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments void ReleaseApplication(path application) Closes the HDP application identified by the object path. Also application will be closed if the process that started it leaves the bus. If there is a SDP record associated to this application it will be removed. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotFound array GetRemoteApplications(path application) This method will return an array with the paths of all the remote instances found in remote devices. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotFound -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.HealthDevice Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX Methods: void Refresh() This method searches for HDP applications in the remote device and notifies them to the appropriate agents. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.HealthDeviceApplication Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX/hdp_YYYY Methods: array GetProperties() Gets the information of the remote application published on its SDP record. The returned data format is as follows: { "end_points": [ "mdepid": uint8, "role" : "source" or "sink" , "specs" : [{ "dtype" : uint16, "description" : string, (optional) }] ] } object Connect(path local_application_id) Connects the local application with the remote application. Only the bus client that created the local session will be able to create connections using it. If the Device is already connected with an other application an org.bluez.Error.AlreadyConnected error will be received. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.AlreadyConnected org.bluez.Error.HealthError void Disconnect() Disconnect from the remote application the state will also be deleted. And no future reconnections will be possible. For keeping the state the method Pause of the health link should be used. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotFound org.bluez.Error.HealthError boolean Echo(array{byte}) Sends an echo petition to the remote intance. Returns True if response matches with the buffer sent. If some error is detected False value is returned and the associated MCL is closed. path OpenDataChannel(byte mdepid, string conf) Creates a new data channel with the indicated config to the remote MCAP Data End Point (MDEP). The configuration should indicate the channel quality of service using one of this values "reliable", "streaming", "any". Returns the data channel path. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.HealthError void ReconnectDataChannel(path data_channel) Reconnects a previously created data channel indicated by its path. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.HealthError org.bluez.Error.NotFound int GetDataChannelFileDescriptor(path data_channel) Gets a file descriptor where data can be read or written. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotFound org.bluez.Error.HealthError void DeleteDataChannel(path data_channel) Deletes a data channel so it will not be available to use. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotFound org.bluez.Error.HealthError void DeleteAllDataChannels() Deletes all data channels so they will not be available for future use. Typically this function is called when the connection with the remote device will be closed permanently. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.HealthError dict GetDataChannelStatus() Return a dictionary with all the data channels that can be used to send data right now. The dictionary is formed like follows: { "reliable": [channel_path_r1, channel_path_r2, ...], "streaming" : [channel_path_s1, channel_path_s2, ...] } The fist reliable data channel will always be the first data channel in reliable array. HealthAgent hierarchy ===================== (this object is implemented by the HDP user in order to receive notifications) Service unique name Interface org.bluez.HealthAgent Object path freely definable Methods: void DeviceApplicationDiscovered(object path) This method is called when a device containing an hdp application is connected. The object path is the application path. The method will be called one time for each application. void DeviceConnected(object path) This method is called whenever a new connection has been established over the control channel of the current HDP application. The object path paremeter contains the object path of the connected HealthDevice. void DevicePaused(object path) This method is called when a MCL is closed. Future reconnections will be notified using the DeviceRestarted callback. All data channels associated to this device will be closed and a reconnection will be needed before using them again. void DeviceResumed(object path) This method is called whenever a MCL is reconnected. All data channels associated are still closed but they will be able to be reconnected skipping the configuration process. void DeviceDisconnected(object path) This method is called when a remote device is disconnected or removed from MCAP cache. Any future reconnections will fail. Also all data channels associated to this device will be closed. void CreatedDataChannel(object path, path data_channel, string conf) This method is called when a new data channel is created. The path contains the object path of the HealthDeviceApplication where the new connection is created, the data_channel is the path for identify the data channel and conf is the quality of service of the data channel ("reliable" or "streaming"). void DataChannelReconnected(object path, path data_channel, string conf) This method is called when a closed data channel is reconnected by the remote device. Conf will be "reliable" or "streaming". TThe path contains the object path of the HealthDeviceApplication where the new connection is reconnected, the data_channel is the path for identify the data channel and conf is the quality of service of the data channel ("reliable" or "streaming"). void DeletedDataChannel(object path, path data_channel) This method is called when a data channel is deleted. After this call the data channel path will not be valid and can be reused for future creation of data channels. void DeletedAllDataChannels(object path) This method is called when all data channels are deleted. The path contains the object path of the HealthDeviceApplication where the data channels are deleted. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
