+
+			Registers an observer agent to monitor broadcasts. This
+			agent will be notified whenever a broadcast is received
+			that matches that filter.
+
+			Valid keys for filter_name:
+
+			"ServiceUUID" = UUID possible for Service Data

+		void RegisterBroadcaster(string field_name, dict values)
+
+			Set Advertising data for broadcast. Different
+			applications can register different Adv. data types,
+			and they are all concatenated to form the Adv. data.
+			Broadcasting is enabled as soon as the first
+			RegisterBroadcaster() call is made.
+
+			The parameter values depends on field_name parameter.
+			So, for field_name there are these valid values:
+
+			"ServiceData" = those keys are valid:
+				"ServiceUUID" = an uint16 of Service UUID
+				"Data" = a byte array of Service Data
+			"ManufacturerSpecificData" = those keys are valid:
+				"CompanyIdentifierCode" = an uint16 of Company
+							  Identifier
+				"Data" = a byte array of Manufacturer Specific
+					 Data
+
+			Use UnregisterBroadcaster() to release Adv. data for
+			the application. Advertising data is also released when
+			application exits, and once the last Broadcaster exits,
+			advertising is disabled.
+
+			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments

+
+		void UpdateBroadcastData(string field_name, dict values)

+			Replace Advertising data for broadcast. This method can

+
+		void UnregisterBroadcaster()
+
+			This method will release any previously set Advertising
+			data.
+
+			Note that a broadcast procedure is shared between all
+			sessions, thus calling UnregisterBroadcaster() will
+			only release a single session.
