In recent years there has been dramatic growth in mobile devices and
technologies. According to reports from comScore [1], 47% users in the United States
(aged more than 13) are using a smartphones as their primary phone. Smartphone offers
more advanced computing ability and connectivity than contemporary phones. In today’s
world, a user wants to keep their smartphones private, because of the personal
information present in it. Among these users, some of them are minors. This thesis
addresses the functionality to track/control the mobile activities of minors by their parents
using mobile phones. As a parent they want to know, whom his/her child is talking to and
for what they are accessing browser for. Cellular network companies are providing
number blocking services from the carrier side, but those are monthly paid services. In this thesis, we propose application architecture for remotely control the child phone
and grant access to selected numbers for call and text. We use the emerging Android mobile platform and Google nexus phones to implement and test the application. This architecture will help developers to make more innovative applications in future which helps parent to access child phone information. We performed a study and reported the result using the proposal. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013.
