Mobile Theft Abstract
ABSTRACT
Sometimes we accidently tend to replace our phone somewhere and we end up searching for
it. Yet sometimes we are lucky to get our phones back but sometimes we never get it back.
Hence to avoid such situations and keeping the recent demand and the greed for phones in
mind we have decided to develop this application “theft monitoring”.
This application gets activated as soon as the person who has stolen the phone changes the
sim and switches on the phone. The user will not know that an automatic (By our App)
message is being sent to the predefined number.
This message will contain the sim details as well as the location details. This information will
be sent as a message to the destined number till the application is uninstalled in the mobile.
This will be like a torture to the user and makes it easy to find the location of the phone and
track the user.
The location of the device is found using GPS and the details are sent to the predefined
number in the form of a message as soon as the user changes the sim and switches on the
phone.
The application also consists of the setting of the number to which the message regarding the
sim and the location details are to be sent.
In this application all the operation is done in the background using the concept called
“service”.
Thus “theft monitoring” is a useful application which helps us to track and find the device in
an effective manner.
Existing system with limitations:
In the existing phones we only have the facility where the location of the device is tracked
and is sent back to the user. In such cases if the user has lost his phone and the person who
has taken the device changes the sim and replaces it with another sim then the tracking of
location will be of no use since the sim has been replaced with another sim . and even if ther
is a provision of sending the location of the device to another android phone ,the information
is not enough to find out the location of the device. This application combines both the
details that is the sim and the location details and sends it in a message to the predefined
number making the tracking of the device an easy task.
In our application “theft monitoring” gives both the sim details as well as the location details
of the device which has been stolen.
As soon as the user removes the sim and replaces it with another sim the GPS tracks the
location of the device and sends it in the form of a message to the predefined number which
has been set by the owner of the phone.
Additionally this application takes all the sim details such as phone number, sim serial
number and the imsi number and sends these details as a message to the predefined number.
