HMSoft verion V524 added ANCS support (not include HMSensor version) ================================================================================ 1. How to open ANCS function 1.1 Please read apple notification ducument first. 1.2 Send AT+TYPE3 command change to AUTH and BOND mode. 1.3 Send AT+ANCS1 command to open ANCS. 1.4 Send AT+PASS[para1] command to set passcode. Default passcode is "000000" 1.5 Send AT+RESET to restart module. Now you can use LightBlue or our software to scan and made a connect with module. iOS will ask you input passcode. please input your passcode value. If all is okay, you should receive AT+ANCS[para1] command from module UART. 2. About AT+ANCS[para1] command AT+ANCSN: module open Notification Source SUCCESSED. AT+ANCSC: module open Control Point SUCCESSED. AT+ANCSD: module open Data Source SUCCESSED. 3. Get ANCS notification information When iOS notification center has an change (such as call, email, shortmessage) Module will output AT+ANCS8[para2] command through UART. 4. About AT+ANCS8[para2] command. Format such as : AT+ANCS801012345 8: The length of the para1. 0: EventID. EventIDNotificationAdded = 0, EventIDNotificationModified = 1, EventIDNotificationRemoved = 2, Reserved EventID values = 3¨C255 1: CategoryID. CategoryIDOther = 0, CategoryIDIncomingCall = 1, CategoryIDMissedCall = 2, CategoryIDVoicemail = 3, CategoryIDSocial = 4, CategoryIDSchedule = 5, CategoryIDEmail = 6, CategoryIDNews = 7, CategoryIDHealthAndFitness = 8, CategoryIDBusinessAndFinance = 9, CategoryIDLocation = 10, CategoryIDEntertainment = 11, Reserved CategoryID values = 12¨C255 01: CategoryCount The current number of active iOS notifications in the given category. For example, if two unread emails are sitting in a userĄ¯s email inbox, and a new email is pushed to the userĄ¯s iOS device, the value of CategoryCount is 3. 2345: NotificationUID A 32-bit numerical value that is the unique identifier (UID) for the iOS notification. This value can be used as a handle in commands sent to the Control Point characteristic to retrieve more information about the iOS notification. 5. Get Notification Attributes AT+ANCS[para1][para2][para3] Format such as: AT+ANCS2345100 para1: NotificationUID. Para2: NotificationAttributeID NotificationAttributeIDAppIdentifier = 0, NotificationAttributeIDTitle = 1, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDSubtitle = 2, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDMessage = 3, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDMessageSize = 4, NotificationAttributeIDDate = 5, Reserved NotificationAttributeID values = 6¨C255 Para3: max length parameter If para2 value is 0, 4, 5, para3 must set to "00" if para2 value is 1, 2, 3, you need setup a number. 6. Aoubt Get Notification Attributes Response AT+ANCSW: Send request SUCCESSED. AT+ANCS[para1]: para1 value is 0x00 ~ 0x14. Mean the next package length you need to receive. [........]: The byte array you need to receive. Show in apple Notification document Figure 2-6. (page 9) After you receive AT+ANCSW, you may receive AT+ANCS[para1] many times. until the Fingure 2-6 package is completed. 7. How to remove ANCS. 7.1 Remove bond information from iOS. 7.2 Execute AT+ERASE remove module bond information. 7.3 Execute AT+ANCS0 close module ANCS function. 7.4 Execute AT+RESET to restart module. ANCS is easy to use, you dont need write any iOS code. iOS will manage the bluetooth link and push the message to module. If you have any good idea, please mail me: guocg@jnhuamao.cn.
