agent-core is the Android sensing primitive that powers Trillboards on-device audience intelligence: face detection, audio classification, speech recognition with diarization, BLE / WiFi / mDNS / SSDP / ARP / HTTP discovery, native sensor reads, and Vertex multimodal embeddings. Targets Android 8.0+ (minSdk=26), built against compileSdk=35.

 // Optional — on-device speech (Moonshine ASR). Omit to ship without it.

Pin an exact version (e.g. 1.1.4) for reproducible builds.

Foreground — SDK embedded in your on-screen player app. The camera follows app visibility via ProcessLifecycleOwner automatically; no service needed:

import com.trillboards.sdk.TrillboardsSensingSdk
TrillboardsSensingSdk.start(
 context = applicationContext,
 partnerApiKey = "YOUR_PARTNER_API_KEY",
)

Background / headless — sensing runs in its own app with no visible Activity (e.g. beneath a separate ad-player). Pass your FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_CAMERA LifecycleService as lifecycleOwner so the camera stays bound while backgrounded (start the service from a visible Activity per the Android 14 while-in-use rule):

import android.os.Build
import androidx.lifecycle.LifecycleService
import com.trillboards.sdk.SensingSdkConfig
import com.trillboards.sdk.TrillboardsSensingSdk
class CaptureService : LifecycleService() {
 override fun onCreate() {
 super.onCreate()
 val fgsType = FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_CAMERA or FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MICROPHONE
 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) { // typed startForeground is API 29+
 startForeground(NOTIF_ID, notification, fgsType)
 } else {
 startForeground(NOTIF_ID, notification) // type comes from the manifest on API 26-28
 }
 TrillboardsSensingSdk.start(
 context = applicationContext,
 partnerApiKey = "YOUR_PARTNER_API_KEY",
 config = SensingSdkConfig(deviceId = "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"),
 lifecycleOwner = this,
 )
 }
 override fun onDestroy() {
 TrillboardsSensingSdk.stop(this)
 super.onDestroy()
 }
}

deviceId ties the install to a screen you registered via POST /v1/partner/device (the same value you used as external_id). When null, the SDK uses a hardware fingerprint and sensing runs unattributed until the device is bound.

• Face: FaceXFormer demographics (age / gender), gaze estimation, per-track dwell + emotion
• Audio: MediaPipe AudioClassifier (yamnet), Moonshine ASR with speaker diarization, VAD
• Discovery: BLE scan (+ UWB / Auracast / ChannelSounding on API 36+), WiFi BSSID/SSID hashing, mDNS / SSDP / ARP / HTTP probes
• Native sensors: ambient light, barometer, IMU
• Cloud inference: Vertex multimodal embeddings via the Trillboards API (no GCP credentials on device)

SensingSdkConfig exposes ~30 knobs (toggle each sensing primitive, sampling rates, diarization, FaceXFormer, debug logging). Common integrations:

• Full (camera + mic + face/audio) — defaults; the SDK adapts to device capabilities.
• Audio-only — SensingSdkConfig(faceDetectionEnabled = false).
• Discovery-only — SensingSdkConfig(faceDetectionEnabled = false, audioClassificationEnabled = false).

• All face / audio / image inference happens on-device. No raw frames or audio buffers leave the device.
• Cloud calls send only structured features (counts, attention level, transcripts when diarization is enabled) — never images.
• GDPR / CCPA opt-out is per-screen via the Trillboards portal; the SDK respects opt-out flags from the heartbeat response.
