Android based smart remote control for Computer using Wi-Fi

In the post-PC era, the market for network-connected devices continues to grow at an enormous rate. While new classes of devices like smart cellular telephones, pagers, and PDAs proliferate, traditional consumer electronics including televisions, VCRs, CD players, and game machines are also becoming smarter and gaining new capabilities. Whether these devices are new or just more powerful versions of existing products, all are becoming increasingly interconnected across a network.

Today there is a strong need for solutions which can make finest use of consumer electronic devices like cellular phones and pack the power of computer in it. May it be a large enterprise or a huge network, user today wants the power to manage then through his cellular phone or PDA.

Every human has a cell phone so why not use it for variety of other purposes apart from making calls.

We propose to use the cell phone as remote control for a PC or laptop using Wi-Fi where the user can easily do common tasks from his cell phone such as control slides of slideshow or control the volume of media player restart or shutdown the computer etc.

The solution for the above problem will be incorporating a Mobile application wherein through your cellular phone you will be able to communicate with the computer execute the applications in it.

The above said solution can be achieved by using J2ME on the cellular phone, which will send instructions to the software running on the PC via Bluetooth and that software will complete the requested task.
