The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Controlling a remote device (say home appliance) using a GPRS-enabled mobile phone

Asked by john_jose_pv_ex in General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

Tags: gprs, controlling

Dear all,
    I ve to develop a GPRS-oriented mobile application.  I should be able to control a remote device (say a home appliance) using a GPRS-enabled mobile phone. The mobile phone should act as a remote control device. ( say we should be able to control home appliance from office)
 
The home appliance would be connected to a pc with internet access ( pc with an IP address).
 
•      So first of all I want to know how is it possible to establish a communication between a GPRS enabled mobile    phone and pc attached to the home appliance?
•      I read that we may have to use AT commands. I am new to this field and dont know anything about GPRS, AT commands etc. So plz help. Is that the best and easy method?
•       Should we use Bluetooth for communication?
•      At the pc, what kind of application has to be developed. Should we create a socket application?
•      Is there any prefered mobile device which is best suited for this application.
•      In mobile phone, Where to store the programs? I mean is there any memory available to install our programs/ applications.
•      What protocol has to be used for this communication?
•      How to start the development? Which is the appln that has to be developed first?

             Plz help at the earliest. I am running out of time.

Thank You
John
