Development of Android Application to Capture Images by Using Wi-Fi Direct

Authors : Jae Moon Lee

Abstract: Despite the performance improvements of cameras in a phone, software using cameras are not improved. It is because most of software were developed by using a single smart phone. This study proposes an application to take a remote picture by using two smart phones. One is used as a remote camera for capturing image while the other controls to take a picture while viewing the image transmitted from a remote camera. The system uses the Wi-Fi Direct to send images to other smart phones. The proposed system is designed on the Android. To develop the proposed system we use technologies to control a camera, thread to enhance the performance and Wi-Fi Direct to communicate the image and the commands. One smart phone is used as server and the other is used as client. The server continues to capture a screen shot from a camera and transmits it to other smart phone. The client sequentially receives the transferred image and displays it on the screen. The task to capture the image and the task to send the image in the server are completely separated. It is more efficient to perform in parallel, rather than performing the two operations in sequence. The two threads are created and one only captures an image and the other thread only transmits the captured image. The same problem exists in the client which for the tasks to receive and display images they were also carried out in parallel. To overcome the limitations of the applications to captures the remote images with single smart phone we proposed the application with two smart phones by using Wi-Fi Direct.
