Turn Smartphones into Computer Remote Controllers

Yonggao Yang and Lin Li

Abstract—This article presents the design and implementation of turning smartphones into computer remote controllers that allow users to wirelessly operate a computer. Smartphones talk to a computer through either wireless Ad Hoc or Wi-Fi access point network. A computer user uses a smartphone as the mouse and keyboard of the computer and operates the computer remotely and wirelessly. Such a system has wide application in many environment settings, such as conference rooms, classrooms, workgroup project environments, and even people’s living rooms, where the computer screen is projected onto a big screen, such as a projector screen or a big-screen television.

Index Terms—Computer remote controller, human computer interface, smartphone, smart device.
