How to build a new service on SCout 2.0Proprietary 4DK Technologies, Inc., 2009

14

What you need to do:

1. Develop adapter(s) to interface with desired external application if not already existing

2. Script service logic in Lua language

3. Deploy adapter and active service template at run time

What comes with SCout: Interoperability Interworking Separation of service logic and adapters for

component reuse Service template APIs in Lua for quick service

creation• Several lines of Lua code in service template for

each of our demos

The proposed stack for the initial implementation is strictly to transport context information. The initial communication approach is likely to be HTTP

TRANSPORT PROTOCOL

Initial development will leverage existing interfaces exposed in the OS: UDP, TCP, HTTP etc.

CONTEXT INFORMATION

Context information will be independent from underlying

transport protocol (multi-protocol). This allows for easily transition to

different transport protocols (such as a highly optimized contextual based protocol)

Application

Porting Layer

SCout 2.0

Porting Layer• Minimize OS/platform dependencies

• Support non-threaded systems

Connection Manager• Message send/receive core• Liveness ping/pong (QOS controlled)

Device Wakeup• Utilizing dormant sockets when possible• Directed SMS alternative

Element Object API - Application API• Find endpoints by name

• Serialize and de-serialize messages

• Publish endpoints with QOS

Application• Can find and communicate with local/remote end points

• Create endpoints (with QOS requirements)

SCamp 1.0: product overviewProprietary 4DK Technologies, Inc., 2009

Key features:

• Common API for accessing Context across all devices with SCamp

– SCamp provides a common interworking layer that abstracts device and operation system-specific context related functions into a common framework

• Intelligent Configuration

– SCamp catalogues what contextual components are available and provides that information to SCout

– SCamp uses service discovery to identify the appropriate SCout instance to use

• Intelligent Caching (in the network)

– Context Queries to SCout are passed through to SCamp only if the contextual information has gone “stale”. This reduces unnecessary network communications to the device, saving battery and network resources

Result1.SCamp evaluates the device resources and closes idle apps to minimize the resource consumption during file transfer

2.SCamp monitors the bandwidth; content could be compressed or held until bandwidth is suitable

3.If network connectivity is intermittent, SCamp would delay the transfer until high-availability

4.If set as a preference, SCout can send an SMS containing the URL of the log to the user’s group list
