13.2.2.1 Assumptions<br />
1. All discovery, configuration, and initialization required has already been<br />
performed.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> layer is implemented as a distinct software component.<br />
3. ECSpec boundary conditions specified using startTrigger, stopTrigger<br />
4. ECFilterSpec includePatterns includes the EPC(s) illustrated in<br />
this scenario<br />
13.2.2.2 Description<br />
1. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> client calls the define methods of the <strong>ALE</strong> interface. <strong>The</strong><br />
ECSpec contains a valid startTrigger and stopTrigger as boundary<br />
specifications – though any valid boundary conditions could be specified. <strong>The</strong><br />
ECReportSpec and ECFilterSpec contained within the ECSpec is<br />
defined to include the EPC data sent later in step 4.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> client calls the subscribe method of the <strong>ALE</strong> interface which<br />
includes the URI of the intended observer. At this point the ECSpec is<br />
considered “Requested.”<br />
3. After the start trigger is received, the ECSpec is considered “Active.”<br />
Subsequent EPCs that meet the filter conditions in the ECSpec will be<br />
collected by the <strong>ALE</strong> layer.<br />
4. An EPC that does meet the filter conditions in the ECSpec is reported to the<br />
<strong>ALE</strong> layer.<br />
