Description / Abstract:
This document defines a set of standard application layer
interfaces called JAUS HMI Services. JAUS Services provide the
means for software entities in an unmanned system or system of
unmanned systems to communicate and coordinate their activities.
The HMI Services represent the platform-independent Human Machine
Interface (HMI) capabilities commonly found across all domains and
types of unmanned systems. Five services are defined in this
document:
• Drawing
• Pointing Device
• Keyboard
• Digital Control
• Analog Control Each service is described by a JAUS Service
Definition (JSD) which specifies the message set and protocol
required for compliance. Each JSD is fully compliant with the JAUS
Service Interface Definition Language (JSIDL) [AS5684].
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide unmanned systems,
subsystems, and payloads a standard message set for the definition
of HMI drawing functions and associated control mechanisms. While
this standard does not mandate a particular application, a common
use allow an unmanned system to provide a consistent user interface
across a variety of Operator Control Units (OCUs).
