Abstract:
Since the technology is getting into hands and everything is coming to the mobility because of which every user wants the whole functionality of his/her desktop computer in his/her hand in a small device which is provided through mobile phones. Since not all functionalities are provided by early phones because of their low processing, low RAM and not having a powerful OS, to get those all functionalities some of the powerful operating systems were developed and one of them is SYMBIAN OS.
Our mobile phones or PDA’s usually have BLUETOOTH devices. In this project, we have developed a Desktop control application for Mobile Phones that can be used to control basic functionalities of the desktop systems such as presentation, media player and controlling the main desktop etc, also extended according to the time available. New learning took place by how to control the desktop using BLUETOOTH on both mobile and desktop sides. The mobile device act as a remote control for Desktop systems and laptops with support of BLUETOOTH at a single time, making it a great utility application for the mobile. This application is developed for SYMBIAN OS which is not often selected for development.
Developing even a simple application for SYMBIAN OS was a challenge for us but not anymore. So this developed application which will use BLUETOOTH as an output device for transmission and getting and knowing about the BLUETOOTH bit patterns on which the receivers will operate was definitely tough task that is done, I shall mention another important aspect here and that is Java is used for both desktop and mobile devices as developing language, for mobile phone API’s are limited but BLUETOOTH API is available with almost all support.
Different kind of issues regarding limitations and support were raised during the development but handled easily by us. Now the complete product is ready to be used and also can further be extended according to needs.
