Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Deep Dive: Phone Core and Media Core 12
• SMS: The SMS supports access to SMS messages that are received by a connected
Bluetooth phone and supports sending of SMS messages by a connected Bluetooth
phone. SMS messages can be retrieved via AT commands or the Message Access Profile
(MAP) service. Automotive 7 also supports MAP email from any Message Access Service
(MAS) instance. Email can be retrieved from the Bluetooth-connected device and then
handled by an appropriate application or service.
• Connection Manager: Data connections established with other data sources—through
the external mobile phone—are managed by the Connection Manager. The Connection
Manager centralizes and automates the establishment and management of these
connections for Windows Embedded Automotive applications, handling the details of
each connection. The Connection Manager can establish and manage network
connections and route data to the network using the Bluetooth stack. For connections
to data sources established over Bluetooth, the Bluetooth stack is used to transport
data to a Bluetooth host. Figure 4 shows the overall architecture of Phone Core. See the
Glossary for definitions of unfamiliar terms and acronyms.
