Screen sharing application for mobile phones

Abstract

With the advent of smart phones, mobile phones underwent metamorphosis and became the mother of all inventions. Transforming into devices capable of handling high end applications, mobile phones have introduced the features of mobility and portability in almost all applications and software that were designed for a personal computer. They also serve as dynamic gateways to the internet through which real time exchange of information and resources can take place. Technology that allows applications to share local resources through a remote service is one of the latest breakthroughs in the world of communication. We aim to develop an environment through which mobile phone users can experience the use of such technology. All smart phones with Android OS incorporate touch screens. Such phones utilize their screens to display and manipulate information conveniently. By making the screen of one mobile user available to other mobile users, the interaction between two mobile users can be taken to a whole new level. This is what we want to achieve through our application.
