Abstract

Traditionally, mobile devices have come with a set number of functionalities. Even when these have been augmented, this has rarely involved taking advantage of their complementary wireless capabilities (such as Bluetooth and GPS). The main focus of the research described in this chapter was to create an application that takes advantage of the capabilities of Bluetooth to remotely control any computer with Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth has several advantages over infrared technology. It has much higher bandwidth, giving the opportunity to send larger amounts of information. Also, it does not need line of sight. The system created includes a very flexible custom map feature, giving the user freedom to custom map most of the buttons on the phone. By supporting multiple platforms we are also able to target a large number of the devices on the market. The proposed solution received positive feedback in the user evaluation.
