INTRODUCTION

SUPERMOTE

Our application converts the mobile phone into a remote control device that controls the monitor or display screen of a laptop. You can also access the internet without having to sit down in front of the screen. You can stand meters away from your laptop and still access it. It proves to be very useful while giving presentations where you wish to move around freely and simultaneously change slides or call up open important web pages. Supermote thus replaces the keyboard and the mouse by a touch screen key of your mobile phone.

OBJECTIVE

SUPERMOTE

The aim of our project is to control the functions of the computer peripherals using an android enabled device by making use of the networking concepts. In this project we treat the desktop as a server and the android enabled device as a client.

Connection and Protocol

SUPERMOTE

The connection between the desktop and android device is set up using TCP/IP protocol. The devices communicate via the ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStreams obtained on the connection. Each UI action on mobile screen is encoded into a String which is then sent to the desktop(server). The server reads the input String and simulates the corresponding action on the desktop UI using the Robot class present in awt package.

SUPERMOTE

Supermote requires a small server app running on the desktop. This app runs a program that returns the IP address of the desktop, which is used to establish the client-server connection. A socket with port number 6666 and the IP address then waits for client to connect.

SUPERMOTE

It contains the touchpad, left, right click and keypad buttons. The green screen emulates the touchpad of the laptop. The right and left click buttons emulate the functionality of right and left click buttons of the mouse. Keypad button gets the keypad on the screen.
[16]

APPLICATIONS

SUPERMOTE

This application provides remote control service. You can do everything with your android handheld device whatever you can do with your local pc. Full browsing internet, MS Office, Powerpoint presentations, paint etc. In case either of your input devices stop working you can easily substitute it with your phone. User friendly interface. Allows you to use the mobile phone as a wireless mouse and keyboard for the computer.
[17]

LIMITATIONS

SUPERMOTE

Connection to Wi-fi exhausts the battery of the handheld device faster than a Bluetooth connection. The keyboard of a handheld device has limited functionality as compared to the desktop. An internet connection is mandatory for this application to work. Files cannot be transferred between the devices.
[18]

FUTURE SCOPE

SUPERMOTE

The SuperMote application can be extended in the future to allow the user to receive calls from the computer or laptop. This feature would provide better sound quality if using the call with loudspeaker. It can be useful in Video Conferencing as it would make it much more convenient since the user will be able to view the caller on a much larger screen. It can be used to playing the video and audio files on the computer or the laptop. The application can be extended to include bluetooth connection for situations when Wi-fi connection is not available.
[19]

CONCLUSIONS

SUPERMOTE

This application turns your phone into a Wi-fi keyboard and mouse. TCP/IP connection is used Easy to use and easy install.
