Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Deep Dive: Phone Core and Media Core 11
Projekt 2 UI
Description
The incoming call UI displays as a pop-up dialog over
the currently selected UI. When a call is received,
the application matches the caller ID information
against contacts in the phonebook. If a match is
found, the contact information is displayed,
including name, phone number, and image. The UI
provides options for controlling the call, including
accept, ignore, and decline.
The contacts UI provides the user access to the
phonebook synchronized with the phone. The UI
provides advanced features such as sort and search,
as well as the capability to edit individual contacts.
Phone Core Deep Dive
Telephone and data communications are a key component of an in-vehicle infotainment system,
helping consumers access their phones and data in a safe, hands-free manner. Phone Core
supplies a robust set of services and APIs that allow software engineers to design powerful
phone and data applications that integrate with other Windows Embedded Automotive 7
applications to provide consumers a safe and accessible solution.
Phone Core Architecture Overview
Phone Core provides a uniform interface with services for hands-free telephony, managing
Bluetooth profiles, phone management, data connectivity, and Short Message Service (SMS).
These services integrate with the vehicle’s audio system and provide a voice-based and touch-
based interface.
Note that Microsoft recommends using the Phone Core API for all application development,
unless otherwise noted.
The foundation of Phone Core resides in three components:
• Bluetooth profile: Applications that rely on telephony and data communications—such
as a phone application—reside at the topmost layer of the telephony and data
communications architecture and use Windows Embedded Automotive middleware
services and/or Bluetooth profiles. For applications that use Bluetooth wireless
technology for data communications, a profile is applied to describe how to exchange
specific types of data over Bluetooth. For example, a hands-free phone application must
apply the hands-free profile (HFP) to define how to place and receive phone calls, as
well as perform other phone-related functionality on the Automotive 7–based device
using a Bluetooth audio gateway (a paired mobile phone).
