/**
* Interface for the sample broadcast service class. <br/>
* <br/>
* It's main purpose is to observe the sensor device manager for samples. It
* does collect the observed samples in a thread safe queue while
* running an asynchronous broadcast service, which does broadcast the collected
* samples in the form of Intents to the system. That way the main
* framework thread will not be occupied by sample processing tasks. <br/>
* The dispatcher thread is a worker thread, which can be started, stopped and
* restarted if necessary.
