High Level Architecture

Quoting AGL documentation,
http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/apis_services/en/dev/reference/signaling/architecture.html#architecture“
“Good practice is often based on modularity with clearly separated components assembled within a common framework. Such modularity ensures separation of duties, robustness, resilience, achievable long term maintenance and security.”

High Level Components

Architecture

The Voice Services architecture in AGL is layered into two levels. They are High Level Voice Service layer and vendor software layer. In the above architecture, the high-level voice service is composed of multiple bindings APIs (colored in green) that abstract the functioning of all the voice assistants running on the system. The vendor software layer composes of vendor specific voice agent software implementation that complies with the Voice Agent Binding APIs.
