Remote control of PC using Sony Ericsson k790
Last night I was watching one of the episodes from Seinfeld from Season 9. I could not stop laughing at the scene when Kramer pretended to be a "wealthy industrialist, philanthropist and a bicyclist" just to get into the washroom of a $1.5 mil apartment that was put up for sale. I was having my dinner at that time and did not want to stand up from the couch to rewind it back. However, I did anyway.
Sitting at work during lunch the following day I was thinking of a way to add a remote control functionality to my PC with minimal expenses. My cell phone has a Bluethooth and an infrared port. There must be a way via software!
A quick search revealed that my SE k790a has the HID (Human Interface Device) feature and all I need is HID profile supporting soft. Here are a few links I found that are worth checking out:
Sony Ericsson Developers Zone: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/home/p_home.jsp
VIAO Zone remote control: http://atinyblip.wordpress.com/vaio-zone-remote-control/
Salling Clicker (commercial soft): http://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/devices.php
For future reference:
