Distributed DeviceProfile

Introduction

DeviceProfile is used to manage device hardware capabilities and system software features. A typical device profile includes the device type, device name, OS type, and OS version. By allowing quick access to local and remote device profiles, DeviceProfile lays the foundation for initiating distributed services.

DeviceProfile provides the following functions:

• Inserting, deleting, and querying profiles of local devices.
• Querying remote device profile information.
• Subscribing to remote device profile changes.
• Synchronizing profile information across devices.

The following figure shows the architecture of the DeviceProfile module.

Constraints

• The devices between which you want to set up a connection must be in the same LAN.
• Before setting up a connection between two devices, you must bind the devices. For details about the binding process, see the Security subsystem readme file.

Usage

Querying Profile Information

• Parameters of GetDeviceProfile

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
deviceId	std::string	Yes	ID of the device whose profile is to be queried. A null value indicates the local device.
serviceId	std::string	Yes	Service ID.
profile	ServiceCharacteristicProfile	Yes	Device profile information returned.

• Sample code

// Declare the return value.
ServiceCharacteristicProfile profile;
// Call GetDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().GetDeviceProfile(deviceId, serviceId, profile);
std::string jsonData = profile.GetCharacteristicProfileJson();
result.append("jsonData:" + jsonData + "\n");

Inserting Profile Information

• Parameters of PutDeviceProfile

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
profile	ServiceCharacteristicProfile	Yes	Profile information to insert.

• Sample code

// Declare and fill in the data to insert.
ServiceCharacteristicProfile profile;
profile.SetServiceId(serviceId);
profile.SetServiceType(serviceType);
nlohmann::json j;
j["testVersion"] = "3.0.0";
j["testApiLevel"] = API_LEVEL;
profile.SetCharacteristicProfileJson(j.dump());
// Call PutDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().PutDeviceProfile(profile);

Deleting Profile Information

• Parameters of DeleteDeviceProfile

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
serviceId	std::string	Yes	ID of the service record to delete.

• Sample code

// Declare and fill in the data to delete.
std::string serviceId = "test";
// DeleteDeviceProfile
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().DeleteDeviceProfile(serviceId);

Synchronizing Profile Information

• Parameters of SyncDeviceProfile

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
syncOption	SyncOption	Yes	Synchronization range and mode.
syncCb	IProfileEventCallback	Yes	Callback used to return the synchronization result.

• Sample code

// Define the synchronization mode and range.
SyncOptions syncOption;
syncOption.SetSyncMode((OHOS::DeviceProfile::SyncMode)atoi(mode.c_str()));
for (const auto& deviceId : deviceIds) {
    syncOption.AddDevice(deviceId);
}
// Call SyncDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().SyncDeviceProfile(syncOption,
    std::make_shared<ProfileEventCallback>());

Subscribing to Profile Events (Synchronization and Change Events)

• Parameters of SubscribeProfileEvents

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
subscribeInfos	SubscribeInfo	Yes	Type of the event to subscribe to.
eventCb	IProfileEventCallback	Yes	Callback used to return the subscription event.
failedEvents	ProfileEvent	Yes	Failure event.

• Sample code

auto callback = std::make_shared<ProfileEventCallback>();
std::list<SubscribeInfo> subscribeInfos;

// Subscribe to the EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED event.
ExtraInfo extraInfo;
extraInfo["deviceId"] = deviceId;
extraInfo["serviceIds"] = serviceIds;
SubscribeInfo changeEventInfo;
changeEventInfo.profileEvent = ProfileEvent::EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED;
changeEventInfo.extraInfo = std::move(extraInfo);
subscribeInfos.emplace_back(changeEventInfo);

// Subscribe to the EVENT_SYNC_COMPLETED event.
SubscribeInfo syncEventInfo;
syncEventInfo.profileEvent = ProfileEvent::EVENT_SYNC_COMPLETED;
subscribeInfos.emplace_back(syncEventInfo);

// Call SubscribeProfileEvents.
std::list<ProfileEvent> failedEvents;
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().SubscribeProfileEvents(subscribeInfos,
    callback, failedEvents);

// Cancel the subscription.
std::list<ProfileEvent> profileEvents;
profileEvents.emplace_back(ProfileEvent::EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED);
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().UnsubscribeProfileEvents(profileEvents,
    callback, failedEvents);
