Control PC from your android phone

Some details:

  • Windows server was built in C# in visual studio.
  • Server is using Bluetooth SPP hence the SPP GUID is hardcoded and should work out of the box for any android device.
  • Server starts a background thread which will listen to instructions coming from android app
  • Server is using AutoIt3 to send instructions to the app running in foreground
  • Android app shows all the controls available and you can just click on them
  • The set of controls can easily be extended.

Currently the app can send in the following keystrokes/function:

  • Left
  • Right
  • F5 //used for entering presentation mode
  • Esc
  • ctrl Esc
  • Sleep windows pc
  • Hibernate windows pc
  • Restart windows pc
  • Shut Down windows pc
  • Go to Desktop on windows pc
  • Lock windows pc

Future work:

  • Add more useful features
  • Convert Mobile phone into game pad //this can be tricky as autoit is slow in executing key strokes, and hence continuous key press (e.g. accelerating in Need For Speed) doesnt work very well.
