Anti Theft Application For Lost Or Misplaced Android Phones

The main piece of technology used for communication today are smartphones. On smartphones, they have many appealing features to the eye, including talking on the phone, texting others, and downloading helpful applications. They also have an app of maps on them, that do much of what a GPS device would be able to do. In a journal article, called Our Cell Phone, Ourselves, the author, Christine Rosen, states features of cell phones saying, “One new phone hitting the market boasts video capture and playback, a 1.2 megapixel camera, a 256 color screen, speakerphone, removable memory, mp3 player, Internet access, and a global positioning system” (Rosen 30). This quote summarizes that a cell phones goal is to not only be a GPS, but has other features on it for the user. The primary goal of a GPS device is just to navigate; it does not have a camera, video capture, music, or internet access. Smartphone maps and GPS devices are very similar, but also have differences. Both systems have maps, voice and written route directions, and the walking option. Many features like arrival time, miles till destination, different possibility of routes the user can take showing time differences, points of interests, and spoken directions are on both the Global Positioning System device and on the smartphone device. GPS devices work strictly by satellite signals in the sky to determine the exact place of the user. GPS apps on smartphones work by

As technology continually advances, smartphones are becoming more like computers. However, we need to keep in mind the primary purpose a phone can provide in

Mobile phones are not used as just communication tools but are also considered as devices which have strong communication networks along with the other functionalities such as audio solutions, FM

Landlines are out of date in our society because of the mass use of smartphones; however, smartphones can pose major problems. The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention Services conducted a survey of “over 21,000 homes in the last half of 2013 and found that only 9% of homes are landline only”. This is comparative to the whopping “47% that is cell phone only in their homes”. (Stobbe 1) Since cell phones have become wildly popular, there are many risks and flaws to these systems. Smartphones are renowned for their applications and programs; however, there can be many consequences or problems. The main consequence of using smartphones is their lack of security. Many people are using applications that are constantly getting ‘hacked’ and losing pictures as well as pieces of their identity.

Internet has reached every corner of the world and provide an extra power to use smart phones in a variety of ways to manage day to day operations. Smart phones combine Internet services and communications on to one device. They integrate networking and computing power of PCs with the portability of mobile phones. The more smart phones are extensively used for both personal and business purposes, mobile malware becomes a serious issue. This paper gives a brief insight on user perception

The mobile Internet is growing, fueled by increasing invasions of smartphone and better networks. Here the question arise that what is the smartphone? The smartphone is a cellular phone that operates many of the roles of a computer, holding Internet access, a touchscreen interface, and a various operating system that enables downloaded applications to run. In this modern society, with smartphones, tablets and cloud computing, everything is moving around quickly. The growing abilities of mobile phones are positioning them as the technology of choice, replacing PCs, for many users. As such, the use of these devices must be considered as a vital learning device available to higher education. According to Lacohee, Wakeford, & Pearson, 2003, in the initial rise of mobile technology advancement, cell phones were exclusive devices originally used by middle and upper-class people. Smartphones has the facilities to transmit and receive calls and create and accept text messages, as another digital portable gadgets like personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as an event list, Bluetooth, music player, video games, GPS, digital camera and video camera and can operate a variety of third-party software elements known as "apps".

According to the research done, the following aspects have been found out to be the main functional requirements for the system to be developed.

The introduction of the mobile phone has consequently introduced a number of impacts on different levels. Namely economical, environmental, human health and human behavior. In this report we are particularly concerned with the latest. As mobile use expand among groups and by individuals, the number of features and functionalities within a single handset is also increasing. And with the introduction of new trends, functionalities and social media, mobiles use has thus increased, vice-versa. The integration of built in cameras, location services, wireless

Abstract - In recent times the production of smart phones had increased overall compared to PCs. Due to this rapid growth the mobile system designers and computer architects analyze the characteristics of the interactive applications where people are expecting in this platforms. Each year the mobile phones are enhancing the features with consists of high performance, High clock rate and increasing the storage capacity. Now a days the Smart phones are able to play HD audio and Video, High quality Multimedia experience, The rich content of the browsing wed content and also some smart phones are able to support 3D technology.

This paper covers an overview of what mobile computing is, and its working principle. It also includes about the devices using mobile computing and the software’s related to mobiles. It touches some of the topics on mobile computing standards, protocols, generations and the costs associated with mobile devices. It gives some information about the limitations, benefits and associated technologies.

Abstract—Location based services and location tacking applications are gaining much popularity among the youngsters and designing such an android mobile application is also expected to have much attraction among users. Designing such an application is our project idea. Although many new applications provide such facilities user’s privacy is not up to the mark. Moreover this location hunter tracks the location of the other user when a call is made, and only those phones in the paired networks will be able to track the location of the target mobile devices. Thus privacy may be provided to the application’s users.

A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone) is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications (mobile telephone, text messaging or data transmission) over a cellular network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. Most current cell phones connect to a cellular network consisting of switching points and base stations (cell sites) owned by a mobile network operator. In addition to the standard voice function, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and

It will explain the purpose and features of the system, the interfaces of the system, what the system will do, the constraints under which it must operate, specific requirements and other supporting information. This document is intended for both the stakeholders and the developers of the system.
