Active Monitoring System for Android Devices using Cloud

  Sagar Bhalodia,  K . Navin

the idea of tracking android devices is explained and implemented in this paper using the cloud service. The android devices can be tracked and monitored on the basis of call logs, call duration whether incoming, outgoing or missed calls and text messages. With the help of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology the location of the user device can also be monitored and traced according to their geographical location on the basis of longitude-latitude coordinates. This system is designed specially on android devices as it is one of the most popular smart phone operating system developed using Java programming technology. For the ease, the detailed information about the device is stored on the Cloud. Cloud storage is used over here to access the details about the device globally, whenever one wants to view the details and the information will be permanently stored. This android based active monitoring mobile application using cloud technology can come out to be very useful in the institutions like colleges, big companies or hospitals for keeping track on students, teachers; companies and banks to keep a track on their employees. By the use of this system unnecessary us of the android mobile device can be controlled and restricted. For certain restrictions parents, managers or admins of the system can even block the numbers i.e. both incoming and outgoing calls to stop the unnecessary phone calls during particular time. This system is more useful as one can keep monitoring and tracking remotely.
