Qt Sensors C++ 概述

Sensor Types

On a device there can be many types of sensors. Not all of the types that the Qt Sensors API supports may be available. There may also be types available that are not defined in the Qt Sensors API. The types of sensors available on a device is found using the QSensor::sensorTypes () 函数。

For a list of built-in sensor types, see the Sensor Classes 以下章节。

Common Conventions

Unless specified otherwise, Qt Sensors uses the Right Hand Cartesian coordinate system .

To allow for measurements in all 6 directions, negative values are used.

Where rotation around an axis is used, the rotation shall be expressed as a Right Hand rotation.

In general, sensor data is oriented relative to QScreen::nativeOrientation , that is to the top of the device when the device is held in its natural orientation (normally when the device logo appears the right side up). If values are to be displayed on the screen, the values may need to be transformed so that they match the user interface orientation. A sensor may define its data as being oriented to the UI. This will be noted in the documentation for the sensor.

Using a Sensor

The life cycle of a QSensor is typically:

Create an instance of QSensor or one of its sub-classes on the stack or heap.
通过应用程序按要求设置。
开始接收值。
通过应用程序使用传感器数据。
停止接收值。

Here is an example of creating a sensor on the heap and on the stack.

 // On the heap (deleted when this object is deleted)
 QAccelerometer *sensor = new QAccelerometer(this);
 // On the stack (deleted when the current scope ends)
 QOrientationSensor orient_sensor;

Accessing Sensor Data in a Generic Fashion

The preferred way to deal with sensor data is via the Reading Classes . However, sometimes this may not be possible. For example, you may be deploying an application to a device that has a new sensor type but no C++ header describing the reading class is available.

Thanks to Qt's property system you can still access the sensor data. You need to know 3 pieces of information in order to do this:

The sensor type.
The property name or index.
The property type or a comparable type.

For example, here is an example of how you can access a property of the accelerometer. This code does not require any compile-time links to QAccelerometer or QAccelerometerReading .

 // start the sensor
 QSensor sensor("QAccelerometer");
 sensor.start();
 // later
 QSensorReading *reading = sensor.reading();
 qreal x = reading->property("x").value<qreal>();
 qreal y = reading->value(1).value<qreal>();

You can discover all of this information at runtime too. The sensor_explorer example shows you information about available sensors.

Front End, Back End

The Qt Sensors API has a front end, for application developers to use and a back end, where device implementors write code to access their hardware. As an application developer you do not need to access the back end though it may be useful to understand how it works.

Commands from the application are delivered through QSensor and then down to the device plugin. Data comes back through the QSensorReading 类。

More information about the back end can be found in Qt Sensors Backend .

主类

The primary classes that make up the Qt Sensors API.

QSensor	Represents a single hardware sensor
QSensorFilter	Efficient callback facility for asynchronous notifications of sensor changes
QSensorReading	Holds the readings from the sensor

Reading Classes

The best way to access sensor data is via one of these classes.

QAccelerometerReading	Reports on linear acceleration along the X, Y and Z axes
QAltimeterReading	Holds readings from the altimeter sensor
QAmbientLightReading	Represents one reading from the ambient light sensor
QAmbientTemperatureReading	Holds readings of the ambient temperature
QCompassReading	Represents one reading from a compass
QDistanceReading	Holds distance reading in cm from the proximity sensor
QGyroscopeReading	Represents one reading from the gyroscope sensor
QHolsterReading	Holds readings from the holster sensor
QHumidityReading	Holds readings from the humidity sensor
QIRProximityReading	Holds readings from the IR proximity sensor
QLidReading	Holds readings from the Lid sensor
QLightReading	Represents one reading from the light sensor
QMagnetometerReading	Represents one reading from the magnetometer
QOrientationReading	Represents one reading from the orientation sensor
QPressureReading	Holds readings from the pressure sensor
QProximityReading	Represents one reading from the proximity sensor
QRotationReading	Represents one reading from the rotation sensor
QTapReading	Represents one reading from the tap sensor
QTiltReading	保持来自倾斜传感器的读数

Sensor Classes

These classes provide convenience wrappers that reduce the need for casting. Each of these classes represents a sensor type that the Qt Sensors API knows about. Note that additional types may be made available at run-time. See Sensor Types 了解更多信息。
