Architecture
Samsung Wearable devices are to be paired with a host device (ideally a Smartphone), for connectivity and other services that complete the user experience:
- Gear Manager to manage the delivery and set up widgets on wearable devices.
- Wearable Manager Service to receive and install the widget on wearable devices, and forwards the information to the Gear Manager settings.
- SAP (Samsung Accessory Protocol) provides a connection between the host and wearable devices and supports a wide range of connectivity technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). For more information, please refer to this web page .
The following figure shows the architecture of the host and wearable devices including Gear software Manager.
Below you can see the relationship between the Host IDE and the wearable:
Application Package Structure
You can create your Tizen gear application in a number of ways:
- Linked (Master-Follower)
- Integrated
- Standalone
They can have different requirements and the figure below gives you an idea of their relationship to each other:
