External interface to Lark (Etherphone) Capabilities (Smarts=>Lark)

This interface is a Lark private affair and makes no distinction between the

front and back doors. Such a distinction must be handled by the Smarts.

};

Kinds of keystrokes and other "digital" actions that a Lark user might initiate,

including keyboard and touchpad buttons, switch-hook actions, etc. An event must

be associated with a Device in order to be unambiguously interpreted.

Event: TYPE = CHARACTER;

Ascii range

firstChar: Event = '\000;

lastChar: Event = '\177;

DTMF pushbuttons

b0: Event = '\200;

b1: Event = '\201;

Switches (i.e., offhood, onhook)

<<TEMP: Synthesized telephone number terminator>>

tag field in Generate tones

notify: Event = '\245;

Typically, devices and events will be combined

CommandEvent: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [

device: Device,

event: Event

];

StatusEvent: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [

time: CARDINAL,

device: Device,

event: Event

];

Subset of events corresponding to "touch-tones"

DTMFEvent: TYPE = Event[b0..bThorp];

CharacterEvent: TYPE = Event[firstChar..lastChar];

Sequences have these kinds of domain types, so that instances of them will

fit in a single RPC packet.

Passel: TYPE = [0..32);

This is basically an Event "string", maxLength=length

Good for sending character sequence, as in the Display command, below.

StatusEvents: TYPE = REF StatusEventSequence;

StatusEventSequence: TYPE= RECORD[

e: PACKED SEQUENCE length: Passel OF StatusEvent

];

CommandEvents: TYPE = REF CommandEventSequence;

CommandEventSequence: TYPE= RECORD[

e: PACKED SEQUENCE length: Passel OF CommandEvent

];

Hertz: TYPE = [0..3500); -- Voice bandpass --

Milliseconds: TYPE = [0..10000);

There may be more than one way to transmit voice, depending.

We will probably also experiment with a number of encodings.

Protocol: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT {interactive (0), nWay (1), recordOnly (2), (7)};

Encoding: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT {muLaw (0), (7)}←muLaw;

VoiceBuffer: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT {in1 (0), in2 (1), out1 (2), out2 (3), out3 (4), (7)};

If a Smarts says this to a Lark, it informs the Lark what connections

to establish (see Connect, below.) If a Lark says this to a Smarts, it

is a report of what connections presently exist.

ConnectionSpec: TYPE = REF ConnectionSpecRec;

ConnectionSpecRec: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [

protocol: Protocol,

encoding: Encoding,

blankA: [0..1777B] ← 0,

sampleRate: INTEGER,

packetSize: INTEGER,

blankB: [0..17777B] ← 0,

buffer: VoiceBuffer,

blankC: [0..7777B] ← 0,

keyIndex: [0..17B],

localSocket: VoiceSocket,

remoteSocket: VoiceSocket

];

Some more stuff that the Lark tells the Smarts when Registering.

Genre: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT { Alto (0), Lark1(1), (255) };

LarkModel: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [

genre: Genre,

hardwareVersion: [0..256),

softwareVersion: CARDINAL

];

KeyTable: TYPE = REF KeyTableBody;

KeyTableBody: TYPE = RECORD [

s: SEQUENCE size: [0..20B] OF EncryptionKey

];

EchoParameters: TYPE = REF EchoParameterRecord;

EchoParameterRecord: TYPE = MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [

blankA: [0..17777B] ← 0,

buffer: VoiceBuffer,

blankB: [0..37777B] ← 0,

buffer2Controlled: BOOL,

buffer1Controlled: BOOL,

decayTime: CARDINAL,

gain: ARRAY [0..5) OF CARDINAL

];

f1, f2: frequencies of two sinusoidal tones; f2 may be zero to request a single tone

on, off: noisy and silent intervals during each repetition.

repetitions: should be fairly small; longer sequences should be produced by queuing

multiple specifications, not too far ahead; prevents pollution after server crash.

waveTable, an index into Lark's available waveform tables for tone generation.

Also, more complex tone sequences can be specified using a queue of Tones requests.

queueIt: add specification to a list of sequential tone specs

~queueIt: supercede all pending tones with this one (e.g., scope=silence)

notify: issue a "tones" event when this entry terminates.

ToneSpec: TYPE = REF ToneSpecRec;

ToneSpecRec: TYPE = RECORD [

notification: CommandEvent ← [nothing, 0C], -- what to use when notifying.

If notification.device is 'nothing', ToneSpec is to be played only once.

volume: CARDINAL, -- "WaveTable": entire sequence played at one volume, for now

totalTime: CARDINAL, -- duration of one total performance in millisec

tones: LIST OF Tone

];

Notification: If notification.device is 'tones', notification will be reported as an event after completion of the first tone in the list.

totalTime field is not used by Lark. (ToneSpecs are used by other parts of the Etherphone system.)

Tone: TYPE = RECORD [

f1: CARDINAL, -- Hertz.

f2: CARDINAL, -- Hertz.

on, off: CARDINAL, -- Tone will be played at f2 Hz. for on ms.; then off ms. of silence.

repetitions: CARDINAL𡤁 -- specifies number of repetitions of this toned

];

Pause: not used by Lark.

-- ************************ Smarts=>Lark procedures ********************** --

Cancel any tone sequence in progress. Clear the display (or set it to a distinctive

"out of service" state). Forget about any conversation in progress. Hang up any

automatically switched audio devices (Speakerphone, etc.) Remember the identity

of your "smarts". rName is for use in LarkSmarts.Register (cf.)

Reset: PROC [shh: SHHH, rName: ROPE];

Always accept, whether or not a conversation is in progress; return immediately,

SpecifyTones: PROC[ shh: SHHH,

queueIt: BOOLEAN←TRUE,

tones: ToneSpec ← NIL

]

RETURNS [ok: BOOLEAN -- FALSE means no room in queue --];

Standard DTMF is special; this function avoids long Tones[] sequences.

on, off: "make"/"break" intervals for each code.

waveTable, queueIt: as above.

events: a "string" of DTMF events to be "feeped". This is for back-door dialing, end-to-end

signalling for remote control of systems, etc. Each DTMF event reported via

LarkSmarts.RecordEvent may also have to be echoed by the Lark program, depending

on the nature of the keyboard.

notify: issue a "tones" event when all digits have been sent.

Feep: PROC[ shh: SHHH,

on, off: Milliseconds,

waveTable: CARDINAL,

queueIt: BOOLEAN←TRUE,

notify: CommandEvent ← [nothing, 0C],

events: CommandEvents

]

RETURNS [ok: BOOLEAN -- FALSE means no room in queue --];

Commands.

Commands: PROC [shh: SHHH, events: CommandEvents];

Use the sockets and the protocol type from |spec| to establish a conversation between

yourself and the indicated other party (ies). If a conversation is already underway,

replace it with this one, without disrupting existing conversations (a good trick, but

needed, since host number, socket number are likely to change.)

Connect: PROC [shh: SHHH, specs: ConnectionSpec];

Drop all connections corresponding to id, return to idle state. A Connect call with a zero-length

socket sequence should behave the same way. The buffer parameter should match the

connection specification that is being abandoned.

Disconnect: PROC [shh: SHHH, buffer: VoiceBuffer];

This is a Smarts request for the Lark to Register, thus providing a status update.

<< If it works out, the Lark should call LarkSmarts.Register BEFORE returning from

PleaseRegister. That may tie all the monitors in knots, or make error management yucky

on one end or other, whence a return from PleaseRegister will be taken as a promise

to register soon. Alternatively, the procedure could return registration info. >>

PleaseRegister: PROC [shh: SHHH];

This is a Smarts request for the Lark to send in its entire state.

A which = 0 indicates that the Lark should start over. Thereafter, LarkSmarts should

make the next call with which = next.

WhatIsStatus: PROC [shh: SHHH, which: CARDINAL]

RETURNS [next: CARDINAL, events: StatusEvents];

This is a Smarts request for the Lark to send in its outstanding connections.

A which = 0 indicates that the Lark should start over. Thereafter, LarkSmarts should

make the next call with which = next

WhatAreConnections: PROC [shh: SHHH, which: CARDINAL]

RETURNS [next: CARDINAL, specs: ConnectionSpec];

This is a Smarts request for the Lark to send in its outstanding tones.

For now just returns that there are some.

WhatAreTones: PROC [shh: SHHH] RETURNS [BOOLEAN];

SetKeyTable: PROC [shh: SHHH, table: KeyTable];

CommandString: PROC [shh: SHHH, device: Device, commands: ROPE];

After responding in the affirmative, Lark should collect user name and password information
(somehow), locally, use the Agent to obtain new authentication based on the password, issue LarkSmarts.LogIn to identify the new Rname, then begin using a new conversation based on the new authentication.

PleaseLogin: PROC[shh: SHHH] RETURNS [will: BOOL];

EchoSupression: PROC [shh: SHHH, echo: EchoParameters];

SetHostNumber: PROC [shh: SHHH, host: Machine];

Here is where to put extensions to the Lark Protocol. After extending it and gaining some experience with the extensions, the intent is to eliminate many of the earlier procedures.
