There are two main types of interaction between a computer and a device on Android based. The first option is remote connection and control of the device from a computer. Thanks to functionality Android system, the reverse interaction has also become possible: connecting the phone to the computer OS, as well as performing a certain number of tasks on it.

Remote interaction between smartphone and PC

This task can be divided into two successive stages:

• Preparatory;
• Direct connection and control.

So how do you manage your computer through an Android device? The very first step is to install specialized programs on both devices. Without this, their interaction is simply impossible.

Consider the connection algorithm using the Splashtop application as an example. The program is free and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Similar software is downloaded to the computer, but from the official page of the utility. After downloading and installing it, follow the algorithm:

On the program that is installed on the PC, you can activate the mode automatic start along with the start of the device. This will provide visibility and remote access from your Android device every time the computer connects to the network.

To end your session, press the Back or Home button on your phone. This program does not allow you to remotely turn on the computer or wake it from sleep mode.

Remote access to an Android device

There are two main options for this type of interaction:

• Google services (built-in system tools allow you to create remote limited control of an Android device);
• Software from third-party developers.

Connecting through built-in services

This method gives very limited access, while it is more often used for smartphones, although tablet PC owners also use it sometimes.

Remote control in this way allows you to carry out the following manipulations with the Android OS:

• Track the location of the device;
• Ringing and blocking the device;
• Perform a Hard Reboot.

To set up interaction in this way, you need to have a Google account, as well as debug the phone itself:

Let's use the free AirDroid application as an example. You can download it from Google Play Market. After installation, launch the application. On the main page of the utility, you will see the IP address at the top. Enter it in address bar browser on your PC.

The application offers a choice of two ways of interaction. When entering the upper address, you will need to register in the system, as well as authorization. Management will be carried out from the global Internet. The second address does not require a login and password, but is only suitable for the local network.

Connection is possible not only from a PC, but also from other devices based on Android: smartphones, tablets, transformer laptops, etc.

After all the manipulations, confirm the login on both devices.

Will open main page applications. Here is all the necessary functionality to manage the device: applications, battery power, widgets, system data, etc.

Working with the program

The application allows you to use the following functions:

• Making incoming calls, answering calls, writing messages;
• Editing contact information(deleting and adding new information about the subscriber, etc.);
• Viewing the contents of the gallery (viewing and changing photo and video materials);
• Screenshot (for this you need Root-rights);
• Work with the camera (can be used for video surveillance and locating the device).

Until recently, Google's Android remote control was available only through a browser from a phone or computer. At the same time, the service took a long time to load, consumed a large amount of Internet traffic, and using it was not always easy and convenient. We offer to consider a special application for managing mobile gadgets running Android OS, which can be downloaded for free from the Playmarket.

Description

Users of Android devices have been waiting for a mobile application for remote control and tracking the location of gadgets. A similar web service significantly slowed down, especially on older phones, despite identical capabilities. Now you do not need to wait for the site to load, just click on the application icon from the desktop to open the powerful remote control tool from Google.

Interface

The appearance of the application resembles the website of the Google remote control service for Android devices. Most of the working screen is occupied by a map of the area, on which smartphones and tablets registered on the network are displayed as dots marked with circles. Unlike a website, in a mobile application you can see all your devices at once, from which you launched the program and which you need to find or block. Switching between them is easy, just click on the icon located in the upper area of ​​the screen.

Under each device, information about the date of its last use is displayed, as well as the main functions, which will be discussed in the next section. At the top of the screen is a line with the name of the application and the name account Google phone used. To the right, already familiar, there is a tab with settings, in the form of three vertically arranged dots. In it, the user can change the account, update the data, rename the device, call for help or write a letter to the developer.

By the way, the application has the ability to view a map with three-dimensional layouts of buildings. Their size relative to each other coincides in scale and will allow you to navigate in unfamiliar corners of the city. Also, all streets and major municipal, educational and other institutions have a designation that becomes available when you zoom in on the map. In general, the application interface pleases with its simplicity and ease of use. With its development there should not be any difficulties, which is required in the event of stressful situations with theft or loss of a mobile phone.

Key Features

The key features of the mobile application for remote control of mobile phones on Android from Google are as follows:

• Block a mobile device that has been stolen or lost from you. The system will prompt you to enter New Password and the attacker simply will not be able to use the stolen smartphone.
• Clear the contact list and internal memory of all data, including installed applications. In fact, this operation is the return of the device to factory settings. At the same time, format microSD card, if such is used in a phone or tablet, it will be almost impossible.
• View the location of all mobile devices associated with a specific account that are online.
• The ability to ring a mobile phone at any time by pressing a special button. At the same time, on desired device will be included sound signal at maximum volume.

The principle of operation and the main features of the mobile application are almost exactly the same as a similar service on the website. You no longer need to perform a bunch of unnecessary operations, because in a couple of clicks you can go to the map, which displays all active devices. This program can be in demand not only in the case when your mobile phone was stolen, but also in ordinary everyday situations.

As for the accuracy of positioning, it depends on several factors. First it base stations mobile operator, on which the coverage density and signal reception level will depend. The second factor is the coordinates wifi antennas, which were previously defined by other mobile devices. In general, the location accuracy will be enough to track a specific street and the direction the device is moving.
We recommend watching a training video about remote access to managing a mobile phone on the Android OS. Note that the capabilities of a computer site are almost similar to the considered mobile application.

Pros and cons

The mobile application for remote access to Android mobile devices was a logical step from Google. It contributed to the greater popularity of the service and has whole line features and benefits:

• Simple and user friendly interface.
• Unlike a computer website, mobile app allows you to view all phones and tablets associated with a specific account at once.
• The ability to erase data, block and ring the phone in remote control with just a few clicks.
• Satisfactory location accuracy.

Unfortunately, it also has disadvantages. For example, in order for the device to be displayed on the map, it must be turned on and have access to the Internet. Also, developers should work on disguise, because on a lost or stolen phone, the attacker will see that he is being watched. In other aspects, it is almost impossible to find fault with the program, it does an excellent job with its functions and will be useful to many users.
