Control Linux Computers Using Mobile Phone

May 18th, 2007 Posted in J2ME / JavaME, Mobile Software

Matthias Bläsing has come up with an excellent application which enables the mobile phone users to control Linux PC using bluetooth enabled mobile phone.

Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) requires a JavaME supported mobile phone with JSR 82 (Bluetooth API), a bluetooth dongle and a Linux computer running 2.6.x linux kernel.

The application works by feeding bluetooth signal events to Linux Kernel 2.6.x /dev/input/uinput device and maps the input to keystrokes, mouse movement, mousewheel movement or mousebutton clicks in your linux computer (using customized configuration file).

Please visit LBRC website for further information about the project, I've personally tried the application on my Ubuntu Linux pc, and was impressed by its performance. Thumb up for ingenuity!
