Screen Management Building Blocks• Regulator

• Logic to adapt vehicle state, driver activities and application usage scenarios

• Set of rules and/or state machines

• Determines what applications can be active

• Layout Manager• Manages Areas and Layers

• Assigns and moves surfaces to areas/layers

• Depends on Regulations

• Resource Manager• Decides what active applications can do and when

• Depends on Regulations

• Application Launcher / Task Switcher• Launches/kills application

• Requests to switch active application

• Screen Controller• Carries out / enforces the decisions of Layout & Resource Manager

• Input Controller• Carries out / enforces the decisions of Input & Resource Manager

6

Basic Usecases for Screen Management

• Application launching

• Task switching

• Regulation changes

Evolution of HomeScreen

phase 1

8

Phase 1 Executive Summary

• Tizen IVI 2.0

• Toyota-san contributed HomeScreen to Tizen• Weston ICO plugins

• HomeScreen

• Sample applications

• First version of HomeScreen was monolithic• GUI

• System controller to manage screens, audio, input etc

• Conflicting audio management• TIZEN had its own Murphy based audio management for routing and volume ctrl.

• HomeScreen had its own management for volume control

• The two stack was not integrated

Pros and Cons

• Pros

• Efficient communication between HomeScreen and Weston

• Cons

• Conflicting Tizen and ICO audio controllers in PulseAudio

• Monolithic

• GUI and control logic were grown together

• Configuration

• Limited

• No scripting

11


phase 2

12


• Tizen IVI 3.0, 2013EOY

• Integration of the audio stacks

• Home Screen refactored

• System Controller was separated and run outside of HomeScreen as a daemon

• Audio resource management was linked to Murphy

• Home Screen improvements

• Look & feel has changed

• Improved configurability and better integration for TIZEN infrastructure

Pros and Cons

• Pros

• GUI and control logic separated

• Cons

• Both HomeScreen and SystemController have layout management logic

• Proxying Weston messages represent an extra hop

• Simple integration to TIZEN resource management

• Oversimplified audio management

• No scripting

15


phase 3

16


• Tizen IVI 3.0 image 20140318.3

• Functionally equivalent to Phase2

• System controller is implemented in Murphy• The Murphy implementation is a drop-in replacement to

SystemController written in C++

• Could be tested by installing the relevant Murphy plugins

• Uses the ICO weston plugins

• Snapshot only• Migrating from ICO weston plugins to GENIVI compliant IVI shell was prioritized over the reimplementation of

System Controller in Murphy

• Paralell efforts• Toyota team worked on migration to GENIVI shell (see phase 4)

• Intel team worked on reimplementation of SystemController in Murphy

Pros and Cons

• Pros

• GUI and control logic separated

• Full integration to TIZEN resource management

• Scriptable => highly configurable

• Cons

• Both HomeScreen and SystemController have layout management logic

• Proxying Weston messages represent an extra hop

• Works only with the deprecated ICO weston plugins

20


phase 4

21


• Tizen IVI 3.0 M14.2

• Uses the IVI-shell instead of ICO Weston plugins

• IVI-shell is GENIVI compliant

• IVI-shell upstreaming is ongoing

• Functionally equivalent to Phase2

22


phase 5

23


• Tizen IVI M14.3

• Merge of Phase 3 and Phase 4

• System Controller is implemented in Murphy

• Uses the IVI-shell

• No new functionality

• Functionally equivalent to Phase 4

24

Future directions

(life after phase 5)

25

Main goals

• Further data flow optimisation

• move layout and input management to Weston

• build a PoC to verify the idea

• Work with OEMs and Tier1s on regulator

• Regulations are currently rule based

• Verify whether the current mechanisms are covering all the needs

• Do we need new mechanism beside rules?

• eg. Table driven approach
