Abstract: Today most of the engineering professional are
engaged normally working with either on Laptops or with
Desktops during working hours and even non-working hours.
It is felt that receiving or sending a message from Mobile at
these times is laborious. Hence efforts are made in developing
developing an application which will enable us to send and
receive messages from Laptop or Desktop rather than from
Mobiles.

Keywords: Android mobile, laptop, desktop, client,
server

1. Introduction
In the present era electronic devices have become integral
part of day to day life of almost every professional or even
a non-professional. To name a few of such devices we
have mobiles, laptops, digital cameras, digital watches,
washing machines without which ones life is
incomplete. Similarly a Professionals life is complete
only he uses gadgets like mobiles, laptops and desktops.
Nearly all organizations do use laptops and desktops for
their official activities. One uses for communication
normally the e-mail facility on the laptops or desktops.
But whenever the message has to reach immediately to
the concerned person, we would use the mobile gadget.
But it is found that switching from laptop/desktop to
mobile every time whenever the need arises is a tedious
process. Also using mobiles during meetings looks very
odd.
To avoid overcome the above mentioned problematic
situations, we can have one solution wherein we can send
and receive messages of our mobile through the laptop or
desktop.

1.1 Project Objective
There are many applications on Mobiles like making
calls, sending messages, playing games, managing
contacts, clicking photos, shooting videos etc. We use
these various applications available based on need.
In this project, we shall develop only one application for
sending and receiving messages. We shall send messages
from one mobile via desktop or laptop to another mobile
and shall receive the messages from mobile to the desktop
or laptop.

1.2 System Requirements
1. The system shall be able to send messages from mobile
via desktop or PC to other mobile.
2. The system shall be able to send single message from
mobile via desktop or PC to multiple mobiles.
3. The system shall be able to receive the messages from
other mobile to the desktop or PC.
2. System Design
The system design has been briefly presented here,
pictorially and with detail design as following.

2.1 High Level Design

Fig.1. Communication between client and server
via WiFi network

2.2 Detail Design
First we run the application on the mobile as an
HTTP server using WiFi network. Then we will get
the IP address of the mobile.
Next we specify the IP address of the mobile in the
browser on the desktop or PC in the WiFi network
,we get the mobile environment in the laptop or PC
We can create any number of applications of the
mobile on the PC or desktop.
The desktop or PC acts as a mobile.
In the server, we have applications at the top and we
have different types of Managers like SMS Manager,
Contact Manager etc.
These managers act as an intermediate layer between
the applications and the kernel.
In the project, we are developing application for
messages.
First part we send messages from desktop or PC to
the target mobile, by specifying the mobile number.
We can also send a single message or SMS to
multiple clients or mobiles.
In the second part, we will receive the messages from
other mobile to the desktop or PC and send it back to
mobile.

3. System Implementation Procedure
3.1 JETTY SERVER
Jetty is an Open Source HTTP Servlet Server written in
100% Java. It is both a full featured HTTP/1.1 server and
a servlet container.It is designed to be full featured, light
weight, high performance, embeddable, extensible and
flexible, thus making it an ideal platform for serving
dynamic HTTP requests from or for Java.
Features of Jetty Server
100% Java Server.
Desktop SMS Application for Android

3.2 Android Operating System

Fig.2. Android Architectural Diagram

Important blocks of Application framework

Activity Manager: Manages the activity life cycle of
applications

Content Providers: Manage the data sharing between
applications
Telephony Manager: Manages all voice calls. We use
telephony manager if we want to access voice calls in our
application.
Location Manager: Location management, using GPS
or cell tower
Resource Manager: Manage the various types of
resources we use in our Application
Applications
Applications are the top layer in the Android architecture
and this is where our applications are going to fit. Several
standard applications come pre-installed with every
device, such as:
SMS client application
Dialer
Web browser
Contact manager.

3.3 Installation
How to install server application on Android mobile First
we download Android mobile manager on the
desktop. Then we install the application from this
Android mobile manager to mobile. Mobile application
We write a servlet using Eclipse IDE. This is installed on
mobile through Android mobile manager. Android
mobile acts as an HTTP server and waits for clients
request. Laptops or PCs Any laptop or PC running
browser becomes a client and makes request to the server
(Android mobile). IP address IP address of the phone is
used to connect to laptop or PC. The application will run
on PC or laptop. We can send and receive messages from
the laptop or PC to other mobiles.

6. Conclusion and Future Scope
The application to send and receive messages from one
mobile environment through a desktop or PC to another
mobile is useful in many organizations.
The same application can be extended by developing
applications for Managing contacts, calculator, music,
games and others.
The same application can be developed in which we need
not use mobile phones at all, but instead we will use
laptop or desktop directly to send and receive messages.
