WIFI GEO LOG

Plan

  • Add a dump function in "GonkGPSGeolocationProvider::LocationCallback"
    • One day a file (Max:50KB). Need to delete old data.
    • (My proposal-1) One day a folder. Check the folder size.
    • (My proposal-2) One file less than 12.5KB. So there should be less than 4 file a day.
  • nsFileStreams - OutputStreams or InputStream
  • nsIFile API reference

Geosubmit

  • http://mozilla-ichnaea.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/index.html#geosubmit
  • [purpose]  Submit data about nearby cell and WiFi networks
  • Geosubmit requests are submitted using a POST request to the URL:
    • https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geosubmit?key=<API_KEY>
  • Geosubmit requests are submitted using a POST request with a JSON body. (as stumble-feeding-1.json)

Http Request

  • Header Reference:
    • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers
    • (Hanno Schlichting [:hannosch])The geosubmit endpoint accepts all of this data in gzip, if you set the HTTP header to "Content-Encoding: gzip". Depending on when and how things get stored to the local disk, you might be able to store data as gzip locally as well, and at transmission time, just stream the local file into the HTTPS connection.
  • Useful Firefox Addon

    • Help to modify header to simulate the results of different headers.

Stumbler for FxOS phase 1 - Architecture (Draft)

Architecture-1

  • Entry point
  • GonkGPSGeolocationProvider::LocationCallback
    • nsRefPtr<StumblerInfo> sRequestCallback = new StumblerInfo(somewhere);
    • 3 seconds AND 30 meters must be exceeded in order to stumble
    • trigger runnable(RequestCellInfoEvent) to main thread.
      • connection->GetCellInfoList(mRequestCallback);
      • wifi->GetWifiScanResults(mRequestCallback);

Architecture-2

  • StumblerInfo
  • Inherbit
    • "nsIcellInfoListCallback"
      • NotifyGetCellInfoList : callback with the number of cellinfo (count) and the array of cellinfo (aCellInfos)
      • NotifyGetCellInfoListFailed
    • "nsIWifiScanResultsReady"
      • Onready : callback with the number of WifiScanResult (count) and the array of wifinfo (results)
      • Onfailure

Architecture-3

  • StumblerInfo
    • mCellinfo : Save valid cellinfo into this nsTArray
    • mWifiDesc : wifi AP info needed by stumble.
    • mPosition : GPS location from GPS
    • CelInfoReady: To know if cellinfo is ready
    • WifiInfoReady:To know if cellinfo is ready
      • Call "DumpStumblerInfo()" when "CellInfoRead" and "WifiInfoReady" are ready.
        • Dump all needed information (location, celltower, wifi ap) into a string and post a task( DumpStumblerFeedingEvent(desc) ) to IO thread.

Architecture-4

  • DumpStumblerFeedingEvent
    • Inherit Task
    • mDesc : the information we need to write to the stumble
    • Run() :
      • Check the existing file to see what file we can write.
      • If needed, we call "RemoveOldestFile" to remove the oldest one.
      • Dump all info into ".gz" files
    • RemoveOldestFile(int FileNum)
