Pan-Sensor

Introduction

The pan-sensor service subsystem provides a lightweight sensor service framework, through which you can perform the following operations:

• Query the sensor list.
• Enable or disable a sensor.
• Subscribe to or unsubscribe from sensor data.
• Set the data reporting mode of a sensor.

The following figure shows the architecture of the pan-sensor service framework.

Usage

The following modules work cooperatively to implement pan-sensor capabilities: Sensor API, Sensor Framework, and Sensor Service.

• Sensor API: provides APIs for performing basic operations on sensors, including querying the sensor list, enabling or disabling sensors, and subscribing to or unsubscribing from sensor data.
• Sensor Framework: manages sensor data subscription, creates and destroys data channels, subscribes to or unsubscribes from sensor data, and implements communication with the Sensor Service module.
• Sensor Service: interacts with the HDF module to receive, parse, and distribute data, manages sensor services and sensor data reporting, and controls sensor permissions.
