Usage

RemoteDevices

ReomteDevices provides an I/F to access the devices (cameras and microphones) installed on a vehicle.

  1. You can query devices on a specific vehicle by getRemoteDevices(vehicleId, projectId, environmentId). You now got RemoteDevices, a catalog of cameras and microphones on the vehicle.
  2. RemoteDevices.cameras is a list of RemoteCameras and RemoteDevices.microphones contains RemoteMicrophones. Both of RemoteCamera and RemoteMicrophone are derived from RemoteDevice.
  3. RemoteDevice provides two properties for identification: id is the unique ID associated with the specific device and tag string gives you a hint where and what-for the device is installed.
  4. RemoteDevice also provides connect() method. You can get a media stream by calling this asynchronous method.
import { MediaClient } from '@tier4/webauto-media-client';

// You have to set authtoken callback to get fresh authtoken (it will be invoked occasionally)
MediaClient.addAuthTokenCallback(async () => {
    return await fetchAccessTokenUsingWebAutoAuthApi();
});

// Then, query `MediaClient.RemoteDevices`
const devices = await MediaClient.getRemoteDevices({
    vehicleId,
    projectId,
    environmentId,
});

// For playback, you would need HTMLVideoElement instances
const videos = prepareVideoElements(devices.cameras.length);

devices.cameras.forEach(async (camera, i) => {
    // You can distinguish each devices with `id` and `tag`
    showCameraIdAndLocation(camera.id, camera.tag);

    // You can get a MediaStream from the camera device
    await camera.connect((stream) => {
        // this callback is invoked everytime new stream is ready
        // (note: publishers could stop and restart publishing arbitrary times)

        // to start playback, you first set `stream` to video's `srcObject` property
        videos[i].srcObject = stream;
        // ...then, kick `play()` method
        await videos[i].play();
    });
});

// Like wise, you can play audio from microphones.
devices.microphones.forEach(async (microphone) => {
    const audio = new Audio();
    audio.srcObject = await microphone.connect();
    await audio.play();
});

RemoteCall

RemoteCall provides telephone-like API between operators and passengers.

import { MediaClient } from '@tier4/webauto-media-client';

async function setup() {
    await updateStatus('ready');

    // You have to set authtoken callback to get fresh authtoken
    MediaClient.addAuthTokenCallback(async () => {
        return await fetchAccessTokenUsingWebAutoAuthApi();
    });

    // Then, create `MediaClient.RemoteCall` instance
    const call = MediaClient.createRemoteCall(
        {
            projectId,
            vehicleId,
            environmentId,
            role: 'passenger', // 'passenger' or 'operator'
        },
        // See `onRinging` below to understand how to handle incoming call
        onRinging
    );

    return call;
}

async function makeCall(call: MediaClient.RemoteCall) {
    // You can initiate call session by passing target and stream
    const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
        audio: true,
        video: false,
    });
    const calling = call.call('operator', stream);

    await updateStatus('calling');

    // Wait for answer from the peer or cancel by users' operation
    const talking = await Promise.race([
        async () => {
            try {
                return await calling.waitForAnswer();
            } catch (error) {
                if (error instanceof MediaClient.RemoteCall.Canceled) {
                    // Thrown when you call `calling.cancel()`
                    console.info('The call is canceled by the caller');
                } else if (error instanceof MediaClient.RemoteCall.Refused) {
                    // Thrown when the other party refuses by calling `ringing.refuse()`
                    showPopupTheOtherPartyRefusedTheCall();
                } else {
                    // We do not throw other errors, but it is recommended to check this case
                    console.log('Unexpected error', error);
                }
                return null;
            }
        },
        async () => {
            await waitForUserClickCancelButton();
            await calling.cancel(); // see the catch clause above
            return null;
        },
    ]);

    // To cancel ongoing call, call `cancel()` method
    if (!talking) {
        await calling.cancel();

        await updateStatus('ready');
        return;
    }

    await onTalking(talking);

    // Now you can make another call session
    await updateStatus('ready');
}

// This callback function will be invoked on every new incoming session
async function onRinging(ringing: MediaClient.Ringing) {
    await updateStatus('ringing');

    await waitForUserClickAnswerButton();

    // Answer the call by passing stream and get `MediaClient.Converstaion` object
    const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
        audio: true,
        video: false,
    });
    const talking = await ringing.answer(stream);

    await onTalking(talking);

    // Now you can wait for another call session
    await updateStatus('ready');
}

async function onTalking(talking: MediaClient.Conversation) {
    // Start playing incoming voice
    const audio = new Audio();
    audio.srcObject = talking.stream;
    await audio.play();

    await updateStatus('talking');

    // Wait for hangup by peer or by user
    await Promise.race([
        // When the user click 'hangup' button, call `hanguUp()` to close the call
        waitForUserClickHangupButton().then(() => talking.hangUp()),
        // or wait for hangup by the other party
        talking.waitForHangUp(),
    ]);
}
