Today I read a paper titled “Remote Control of Mobile Devices in Android Platform”
The abstract is:
Remote control systems are a very useful element to control and monitor devices quickly and easily
This paper proposes a new architecture for remote control of Android mobile devices, analyzing the different alternatives and seeking the optimal solution in each case
Although the area of remote control, in case of mobile devices, is little explored, it may provide important advantages for testing software and hardware developments in several real devices
It can also allow an efficient management of various devices of different types for performing different tasks, related for example to security or forensic tasks
The main idea behind the proposed architecture was the design of a system to use it as a platform which provides the services needed to perform remote control of mobile devices
As a result of this research, a proof of concept was implemented
An Android application running a group of server programs on the device, connected to the network or USB interface, depending on availability
This servers can be controlled through a small client written in Java and runnable both on desktop and web systems
