A Mobile-Based Computer Controller via Android Technology

Abstract

Abstract-The evolution of mobile devices, especially in these modern days, has drastically changed the face of business. A mobile phone device is often expected to offer co mputer-like functionality. These days, most mobile phone users find it somehow inconvenient to do some tasks using their computers. Most individuals prefer to change positions while sitting, stretching, and also feeling a bit more co mfortable when browsing through their co mputers. It can be very imp ractical to be confined to the keyboard and mouse while sitting 5 or 10 feet fro m the computer. Hence, the proposed application is meant to turn the hand phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse with a touch-pad, through the wireless network. Th is prototype is proven to be able to perform most of the actions a normal co mputer keyboard and mouse can perform.
