Discussion summary

Through the discussion at this meeting, we confirmed what APIs are developed in the WG, what we should do (actions), and when we should meet next. See the following sections in details.

APIs

Through the discussion of this meeting, the APIs to be developed in the WG were proposed as follows:

1. Power Management

Power control

This API manages the power status of the device and the panel

• Shutdown the OS
• Reboot the OS
• Reboot the web runtime
• Turn on/off the LCD panel

Power scheduling

This API manages the scheduling of changing the power status of the device or panel

• Turn on/off the device at the specified time
• Turn on/off the panel at the specified time

2. Remote Prompting

Controlling dialog boxes (promptings)

3. Other Contextual Information

Device Information API

This API allows us to get the information of the device

• Hardware serial number
• Manufacturer name
• Model number
• Friendly name

Location API (TBD)

Network Information API

This API allows us to get the setting of the network

• Type of network (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc.)
• IP version (IPv4, IPv6)
• IP address of the terminal
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the default gateway
• DHCP (true or false)
• IP address of the DNS
• MAC address of the terminal

Display Setting API

This API allows us to get and change the setting of the display (panel)

• Dimming
• Brightness
• Contrast
• Color space
• Panel volume (If speakers are equipped in the panel)
• Panel mute status (If speakers are equipped in the panel)

NTP Server Setting API (Category is TBD)

This API just gets and sets the IP address or host name of the NTP server to the underlying OS. Signage operators sometimes want to change the address of the NTP server set in terminals. If the operator manages a lot of terminals, changing the setting remotely is useful

Ambient environment API

This API provides the measurements of the sensors equipped in the terminal

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Ambient light
• Proximity

4. Interaction with other devices

smartphone, camera, etc.

Actions

To charter the WG, we have to continue to discuss some issues as follows:

1. Confirm the Architecture Model

Finally it will be an official BG document

Contributors:

• Shin-Gak Kang (ETRI))

2. Use cases

Contributors:

• Kiyoshi Tanaka (NTT)
• Futomi Hatano (Newphoria)

3. Identify the APIs in the model

4. Gap analysis

Please write your analysis in this page: Gap analysis for chartering the WG

5. Identfy APIs which will be developed as standars in the WG

Next f2f meeting

• The 1st candidate: 22,23 November (candidate) in Korea (TBC)
• The 2nd candidate: 29, 30 November
