Welcome to our AndroidTM Demo site!
欢迎光临Android手机演示网站!
¡Bienvenidos a nuestra página de demostración Android!

We are developing several remote management technologies.
In the course of our feasibility studies, we have developed several remote
management applications on Android based devices.

Three demos are shown on this site and they are categorized into two:
1) Remotely managing Android device
  • Remote Lock/Unlock
    • The demo shown below is just a prototype. We have now enhanced the lock feature on our commercial service - MobiConnect.
    • We will upload new demo videos introducing the brand-new lock feature soon!
  • Retrieving Device Location
2) Managing BluetoothTM devices through Android device over the internet

  1. Bluetooth Gateway
    • The demo shows controlling  remote Bluetooth devices through an Android handset, which behaves as a service gateway to dispatch requests from a remote browser to the devices.
    • We use Bluetooth as an interface between Android gateway and the target device in this demo.
    • In this demo, please assume the small laptop as a Bluetooth device like a home appliance, such as a TV, a HD/DVD recorder or an air conditioner, or ... anything controllable with Bluetooth!
    • Note that in the Android 1.5, it has not yet supported Bluetooth API officially, see below for more information.
      #Android 2.0 now supports Bluetooth API. We'd used Android 1.5 when we created the video demo app.

  2. Remote Lock/Unlock (Lock My Android Phone!)
    • The demo shows remotely locking/unlocking a handset. After the handset locked, it cannot be unlocked unless some one enters a valid Google account that activated it.
    • Unlike "Wipe", locking is done very QUICKLY whereas wiping usually takes very long time (an hour or more depending on the data size).

  3. Getting Device Location (Find My Android Phone!)
    • The demo shows remotely getting location of a handset, which is derived from either GPS or WiFi based location provider. The demo UI generates a hyperlink to Google MapsTM to point the location on the map.
    • The feature is almost the same as Apple's Find My iPhone on MobileMe or SmartPhoneTracker for Windows Mobile.


Demo System for the Bluetooth Gateway demo

  1. Handset
    1. Android Dev Phone 1 by HTC
    2. Android OS 1.5 downloaded from HTC support site.
    3. NTT DoCoMo's USIM with Mopera U plan (Softbank network is available as well.
      However KDDI network and e-Mobile network are not available because the Dev Phone 1 supports only GSM and W-CDMA(1700(Band IV)/2100).)
    4. Android SDK+Java based OMA-DM client by Inventit Inc.
    5. Android SDK+Java based Bluetooth client by Inventit Inc.
  2. Android Device
    1. ASUS eee PC 901
    2. Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop
    3. Java based Bluetooth server by Inventit Inc., which triggers Rhythmbox media player.
  3. Servers
    1. RubyOnRails based frontend server by Inventit Inc. running on Mongrel 1.5
    2. JavaEE based backend OMA-DM server by Inventit Inc. running on Apache Tomcat 6.0
    3. The backend database is MySQL 5.0
    4. The servers running on a laptop(Ubuntu 8.10)
  4. Network
    1. BT device <-- Bluetooth (RFCOMM) --> Handset <-- 3G --> Carrier N/W <-- Internet --> Our Servers <-- Internet --> International SMS service (offered by third party)
  5. Figure
    • The following figure illustrates roughly our system deployment working in the demo videos.
    • We used Bluecove API to run the ASUS Linux box to talk with Android.
