Panoramica

Windows di solito funziona nel ruolo client. Tuttavia, esistono molti scenari in cui Windows funge anche da server Bluetooth LE GATT. Quasi tutti gli scenari di dispositivi IoT, così come la maggior parte delle comunicazioni BLE multipiattaforma, richiedono che Windows sia un server GATT. Inoltre, l'invio di notifiche ai dispositivi indossabili nelle vicinanze è diventato uno scenario popolare che richiede anche questa tecnologia.

Le operazioni del server sono correlate al fornitore di servizi e gattLocalCharacteristic. Queste due classi forniscono la funzionalità necessaria per dichiarare, implementare ed esporre una gerarchia di dati a un dispositivo remoto.

Definizione dei servizi supportati

La tua app può dichiarare uno o più servizi pubblicati da Windows. Ogni servizio è identificato in modo univoco da un UUID.

Attributo e UUID

Ogni servizio, proprietà e descrittore è definito dal proprio UUID univoco a 128 bit.

Tutte le API di Windows usano il termine GUID, ma lo standard Bluetooth le definisce come UUID. Per i nostri scopi, questi due termini sono intercambiabili, quindi continueremo a utilizzare il termine UUID.

Se l'attributo è standard e definito dal Bluetooth SIG, ha anche un corrispondente ID breve a 16 bit (ad esempio, l'UUID del livello della batteria è 0000 2A19-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB e l'ID breve è 0x2A19).Questi UUID predefiniti sono presentiGattServiceUuidEGattCharacteristicUuids zuVedere.

Se la tua app implementa il proprio servizio personalizzato, è necessario generare un UUID personalizzato. Questo può essere fatto facilmente in Visual Studio tramite Strumenti -> CreateGuid (usa l'opzione 5 per convertirlo nel formato "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-...xxxx"). Questo uuid può ora essere utilizzato per dichiarare nuovi servizi, proprietà o descrittori locali.

Servizi limitati

I seguenti servizi sono riservati dal sistema e non possono essere pubblicati in questo momento:

(Video) Can a GAP Central be a GATT Server?| Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

  1. Servizio informazioni dispositivo (DIS)
  2. Servizio profilo attributo generico (GATT)
  3. Servizio profilo di accesso generico (GAP)
  4. Servizio dispositivi di interfaccia umana (HOGP)
  5. Servizio parametro di convalida (SCP)

Il tentativo di creare un servizio bloccato comporterà la restituzione di BluetoothError.DisabledByPolicy dalla chiamata a CreateAsync.

Attributi generati

I seguenti descrittori vengono generati automaticamente dal sistema in base ai GattLocalCharacteristicParameters forniti durante la creazione del tratto:

  1. Configurazione delle caratteristiche del cliente (se la caratteristica è contrassegnata come indicabile o notificabile).
  2. Descrizione utente distinta (se la proprietà UserDescription è impostata). Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta Proprietà GattLocalCharacteristicParameters.UserDescription.
  3. Formato caratteristico (un descrittore per ogni formato di presentazione specificato). Per ulteriori informazioni, vedere Proprietà GattLocalCharacteristicParameters.PresentationFormats.
  4. Formato aggregato caratteristico (se è specificato più di un formato di presentazione). GattLocalCharacteristicParameters.An Per ulteriori informazioni, vedere Proprietà PresentationFormats.For more information, see Proprietà PresentationFormats.
  5. Proprietà estese per le proprietà caratteristiche (se la proprietà è contrassegnata con il bit delle proprietà estese).

Il valore del descrittore di proprietà estesa è determinato dalle proprietà ReliableWrites e WritableAuxiliaries.

Il tentativo di creare un descrittore riservato genererà un'eccezione.

Si noti che la trasmissione non è attualmente supportata. La specifica di Broadcast GattCharacteristicProperty solleva un'eccezione.

Creazione della gerarchia di servizi e funzionalità

GattServiceProvider viene utilizzato per creare e pubblicizzare la definizione del servizio radice principale. Ogni servizio richiede il proprio oggetto ServiceProvider che accetta un GUID:

GattServiceProviderResult risultato = attendi GattServiceProvider.CreateAsync(uuid);if (result.Error == BluetoothError.Success){ serviceProvider = result.ServiceProvider; // }

I servizi primari sono il livello più alto della struttura GATT. I servizi primari contengono funzioni e altri servizi (indicati come servizi "inclusi" o secondari).

Ora popola il servizio con le caratteristiche e i descrittori richiesti:

(Video) Discovering Bluetooth Devices BLE in C# and .Net Core

GattLocalCharacteristicResult caratteristicoResult = attendi serviceProvider.Service.CreateCharacteristicAsync(uuid1, ReadParameters);if (characteristicResult.Error != BluetoothError.Success){ // Si è verificato un errore. return;}_readCharacteristic = caratteristicoResult.Characteristic;_readCharacteristic.ReadRequested += ReadCharacteristic_ReadRequested;characteristicResult = attendi serviceProvider.Service.CreateCharacteristicAsync(uuid2, WriteParameters);if (characteristicResult.Error != BluetoothError.Success){ // Si è verificato un errore. return;}_writeCharacteristic = caratteristicoResult.Characteristic;_writeCharacteristic.WriteRequested += WriteCharacteristic_WriteRequested;characteristicResult = attendi serviceProvider.Service.CreateCharacteristicAsync(uuid3, NotifyParameters);if (characteristicResult.Error != BluetoothError.Success){ // Si è verificato un errore. return;}_notifyCharacteristic = caratteristicoResult.Characteristic;_notifyCharacteristic.SubscribedClientsChanged += SubscribedClientsChanged;

Come mostrato sopra, questo è anche un buon posto per dichiarare i gestori di eventi per le operazioni supportate da ciascuna funzionalità. Per rispondere correttamente alle richieste, un'app deve definire e impostare un gestore eventi per ogni tipo di richiesta supportato dall'attributo. Se un conduttore non risulta iscritto, la richiesta viene immediatamente accolta"Errore improbabile"completata dal sistema.

Caratteristiche costanti

A volte ci sono valori caratteristici che non cambiano nel corso della vita dell'app. In questo caso, è una buona idea dichiarare una proprietà costante per impedire l'attivazione non necessaria dell'app:

byte[] valore = nuovo byte[] {0x21};var constantParameters = new GattLocalCharacteristicParameters{ CharacteristicProperties = (GattCharacteristicProperties.Read), StaticValue = value.AsBuffer(), ReadProtectionLevel = GattProtectionLevel.Plain,};var caratteristicoResult = attendi serviceProvider.Service .CreateCharacteristicAsync(uuid4, constantParameters);if (characteristicResult.Error != BluetoothError.Success){ // Si è verificato un errore. ritorno;}

Pubblica il servizio

Dopo che il servizio è stato completamente definito, il passaggio successivo consiste nel rilasciare il supporto per il servizio. Ciò indica al sistema operativo di restituire il servizio quando i dispositivi remoti eseguono un rilevamento del servizio. Devi impostare due proprietà: IsDiscoverable e IsConnectable:

GattServiceProviderAdvertisingParameters advParameters = new GattServiceProviderAdvertisingParameters{ IsDiscoverable = true, IsConnectable = true};serviceProvider.StartAdvertising(advParameters);
  • IsDiscoverable: specifica il nome descrittivo per i dispositivi remoti nell'annuncio in modo che il dispositivo sia rilevabile.
  • È collegabile: Annuncia un annuncio collegabile per l'uso nel ruolo periferico.

Se un servizio è sia rilevabile che connettivo, il sistema aggiunge l'uuid del servizio al pacchetto pubblicitario. Il pacchetto pubblicitario contiene solo 31 byte e un UUID a 128 bit ne occupa 16!

Quando un servizio viene pubblicato in primo piano, un'applicazione deve chiamare StopAdvertising quando l'applicazione viene arrestata.

Rispondere alle richieste di lettura e scrittura

Come abbiamo visto sopra quando si dichiarano le caratteristiche richieste, GattLocalCharacteristics ha tre tipi di evento: ReadRequested, WriteRequested e SubscribedClientsChanged.

Leggere

Quando un dispositivo remoto tenta di leggere un valore da una proprietà (e non è un valore costante), viene chiamato l'evento ReadRequested. La proprietà su cui è stata chiamata l'operazione di lettura e gli argomenti (contenenti informazioni sul dispositivo remoto) vengono passati al delegato:

character.ReadRequested += Characteristic_ReadRequested;// ... async void ReadCharacteristic_ReadRequested(GattLocalCharacteristic sender, GattReadRequestedEventArgs args){ var deferral = args.GetDeferral(); // Il nostro amico familiare - DataWriter. var writer = new DataWriter(); // popola lo scrittore con alcuni dati. // ... var request = wait args.GetRequestAsync(); request.RespondWithValue(writer.DetachBuffer()); rinvio.Completo();}

Scrivere

Quando un dispositivo remoto tenta di scrivere un valore in una proprietà, viene chiamato l'evento WriteRequested con i dettagli sul dispositivo remoto, quale proprietà scrivere e il valore stesso:

(Video) Quick C# application to connect with a Bluetooth LE device

character.ReadRequested += Characteristic_ReadRequested;// ...async void WriteCharacteristic_WriteRequested(GattLocalCharacteristic sender, GattWriteRequestedEventArgs args){ var deferral = args.GetDeferral(); var request = wait args.GetRequestAsync(); var lettore = DataReader.FromBuffer(request.Value); // Analizza i dati se necessario. if (request.Option == GattWriteOption.WriteWithResponse) { request.Respond(); } differimento.Completo();}

Esistono due tipi di scritture: con e senza risposta. Utilizzare GattWriteOption (una proprietà sull'oggetto GattWriteRequest) per scoprire quale tipo di scrittura sta eseguendo il dispositivo remoto.

Invia notifiche ai clienti iscritti

Nelle operazioni server GATT più comuni, le notifiche svolgono un ruolo importante nel push dei dati ai dispositivi remoti. A volte vuoi notificare tutti i clienti iscritti, ma altre volte vuoi scegliere a quali dispositivi inviare il nuovo valore:

async void NotifyValue(){ var writer = new DataWriter(); // Popola il writer con i dati // ... attendono notifyCharacteristic.NotifyValueAsync(writer.DetachBuffer());}

Quando un nuovo dispositivo si iscrive alle notifiche, viene chiamato l'evento SubscribedClientsChanged:

caratteristica.SubscribeClientsChanged += SubscribedClientsChanged;// ...void _notifyCharacteristic_SubscribedClientsChanged(GattLocalCharacteristic sender, object args){ List clients = sender.SubscribedClients; // Differenziare il nuovo elenco di client da uno salvato in precedenza // per ottenere quale dispositivo si è abbonato alle notifiche. // Puoi anche solo convalidare che l'elenco dei client è previsto per questa app. }

Avviso

L'applicazione può limitare la dimensione massima della notifica per un determinato client utilizzando il fileProprietà MaxNotificationSizerichiamare. Tutti i dati più grandi della dimensione massima verranno troncati dal sistema.
