Interface has no properties.

org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Location

This interface allows devices to provide location information to client applications. Not all devices can provide this information, or even if they do, they may not be able to provide it while a data session is active.

Methods:

Enable ( b: enable, b: signal_location ) → nothing

Enable or disable location information gathering. This method may require the client to authenticate itself. This method may also cause any necessary functionality of the mobile be be turned on, including enabling the modem device itself.

Parameters

enable - b
TRUE to enable location information gathering, FALSE to disable.
signal_location - b
When enabling location information gathering, this argument controls whether the device emits signals with new location information or not. When signals are emitted, any client application (including malicious ones!) can listen for location updates unless D-Bus permissions restrict these signals from certain users. If further security is desired, this argument can be set to FALSE to disable location updates via D-Bus signals and require applications to call authenticated APIs (like GetLocation) to get location information. This argument is ignored when disabling location information gathering.

GetLocation ( ) → a{uv}

Return current location information, if any. This method may require the client to authenticate itself.

Returns

Location - a{uv} (Location_Information_Map)
Dict of available location information when location information gathering is enabled. If the modem supports multiple location types it may return more than one here.

Interface has no signals.

Properties:

Capabilities - u - (read) (MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITIES)
Location capabilities of the device.
Enabled - b - (read)
TRUE if location information gathering is enabled for this device, FALSE if it is disabled. When disabled, the device will not provide location information.
SignalsLocation - b - (read)
TRUE if location updates will be emitted via D-Bus signals, FALSE if location updates will not be emitted. See the Enable method for more information.
Location - a{uv} - (read) (Location_Information_Map)
Dict of available location information when location information gathering is enabled. If the modem supports multiple location types it may return more than one here. Note that if the device was told not to emit updated location information when location information gathering was initially enabled, this property may not return any location information for security reasons.

Sets of flags:

MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITIES

MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITY_UNKNOWN = 0x0

Unknown or no capabilties.

MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITY_GPS_NMEA = 0x1

For capability reporting, indicates the device is capable of providing GPS NMEA-format location information.

For location reporting, devices supporting this capability return an array mapping timestamps to specific NMEA sentences (D-Bus signature 'a(ss)'). The manager will cache the most recent NMEA sentence of each type for a period of time not less than 30 seconds and must indicate the time that sentence was receieved from the device using the timestamp. Timestamps are provided as strings in the "Unix epoch" format (i.e. number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC with microsecond resolution if available).

For example, if at time 1268336242.282202 the device sends a $GPRMC sentence immediately followed by a $GPGGA sentence, the reported location array would be: 

          [ '1268336242.282202': '$GPRMC,134523.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*73',
            '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45' ]
If the device sends a new $GPRMC three seconds later, the new $GPRMC replaces the previously received $GPRMC sentence, and the updated array would be: 
          [ '1268336245.282202': '$GPRMC,134526.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*76',
            '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45' ]
If the device then sends a $GPGSA sentence about 5 seconds later, the $GPGSA sentence is added to the array (since no $GPGSA sentence was previously received in this session), the updated array would be: 
          [ '1268336245.282202': '$GPRMC,134526.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*76',
            '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45'
            '1268336250.395423': '$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,1.1,0.5,1.0*34' ]
The manager may discard any entries older than 30 seconds.

This allows clients to read the latest positioning data as soon as possible after they start, even if the device is not providing frequent location data updates. Using the timestamp the client can determine which data is most relevant to its particular uses.

MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITY_GSM_LAC_CI = 0x2

For capability reporting, indicates the device is capable of providing GSM Location Area Code/Cell ID location information.

For location reporting, devices supporting this capability return a string in the format "MCC,MNC,LAC,CI" (without the quotes of course) where the following applies:

The entire string may only be composed of the ASCII digits [0-9], the alphabetical characters [A-F], and the comma (,) character. No other characters are allowed. For example: "310,260,8BE3,2BAF" or "250,40,CE00,1CEAD8F0".

If any of these four items (MCC,MNC,LAC,CI) is unknown or the mobile is not registered with a network, then the GSM_LAC_CI location information item should not be provided as a returned value from the GetLocation() method or in the Location property.

Mapping types:

Location_Information_Map - a{ u: Type → v: Data }

A mapping from location type to type-specific location information.

Members

Type - u (MM_MODEM_LOCATION_CAPABILITIES)

Parameters

index - u

SetIndication ( u: mode, u: mt, u: bm, u: ds, u: bfr ) → nothing

Parameters

mode - u
mt - u
bm - u
ds - u
bfr - u

Signals:

SmsReceived ( u: index, b: complete )

Emitted when any part of a new SMS has been received (but not for subsequent parts, if any). Not all parts may have been received and the message may not be complete; if it is, the 'complete' argument will be TRUE.

Parameters

index - u
Index of the new SMS.
complete - b
TRUE if all message parts have been received, otherwise FALSE.

Completed ( u: index, b: completed )

Emitted when the complete-ness status of an SMS message changes. An SMS may not necessarily be complete when the first part is received; this signal will be emitted when all parts have been received, even for single-part messages.

Parameters

index - u
The index of the SMS.
completed - b
TRUE if all message parts have been received, otherwise FALSE.

Interface has no properties.

org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Hso

Methods:

Authenticate ( s: username, s: password ) → nothing

Authenticate using the passed user name and password.

Parameters

username - s
password - s

Interface has no signals.

Interface has no properties.

org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Ussd

Methods:

Initiate ( s: command ) → s

Sends a USSD command string to the network initiating a USSD session. When the request is handled by the network, the method returns the response or an appropriate error. The network may be awaiting further response from the ME after returning from this method and no new command can be initiated until this one is cancelled or ended.

Parameters

command - s
The command to start the USSD session with.

Returns

reply - s
The network response to the command which started the USSD session.

Respond ( s: response ) → nothing

Respond to a USSD request that is either initiated by the mobile network, or that is awaiting further input after Initiate() was called.

Parameters

response - s
The response to network-initiated USSD command, or a response to a request for further input.

Cancel ( ) → nothing

Cancel an ongoing USSD session, either mobile or network initiated.

Interface has no signals.

Properties:

State - s - (read)
Indicates the state of any ongoing USSD session. Values may be one of the following: "idle" (no active session), "active" (a session is active and the mobile is waiting for a response), "user-response" (the network is waiting for the client's response, which must be sent using Respond()).
NetworkNotification - s - (read)
Contains any network-initiated request to which no USSD response is required. When no USSD session is active, or when there is no network- initiated request, this property will be a zero-length string.
NetworkRequest - s - (read)
Contains any pending network-initiated request for a response. Client should call Respond() with the appropriate response to this request. When no USSD session is active, or when there is no pending network-initiated request, this property will be a zero-length string.
