Control PC from iPhone (WiFi)
I have managed controling my keyboard and mouse from my iPhone 3G (ios 4.2.1) with Logitech app Touch Mouse (Διαβάστε εδώ πως ).You have to run a Logitech server installed on the PC. BOTH are free.
This is working through WiFi from the iPhone (client side) as long the PC (server) is on the same "network" s OR even in different network if you kow the exact ip and there are no firewalls block the ports used in between.
i.e both iPhone and PC are connected in the same 192.168.1.1//24:
PC
IP Address: 192.168.1.8iPhone
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
IP Address: 192.168.1.3An easy way to do it is setup an Ad-hoc network between the iPhone and PC not for sharing Internet but just to connect each other..
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
Very convinient ,indeed! when watching movies...
That last leads us to the reverse route of controling iPhone from PC.
Control iPhone from PC
Wireless - WiFi
First i had to cope to set an Ad-hoc network between my iPhone and PC. I setup following this instruction
Right-click your wireless network connection, and then click Properties.
Make sure the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings" is ticked
On the Wireless Networks tab, under Preferred networks, click Add
On the Wireless Networks tab, under Preferred networks, click Add
9.Clear the The key is provided for me automatically check box and select the This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network check box.
10.Create a 13-digit password and type it in both the Network key and Confirm network key boxes. Then click OK.
After a little (re)searching i was able to get it stable with the following configuration still only and only when i had a iFile webserver running to prevent my iPhone from Auto-Locking and at the same time keeping the connection alive
PC
IP Address: 192.168.0.1iPhone
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
IP Address: 192.168.0.2I can know use my favorite PuTTY!!!!!!!hehe....
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
I connect with Putty to 192.168.0.2 Port: 22 (as you can see i have saved this session as "iPhoneXP")
in green is what i typed in.
in red is what i typed in PC's command prompt
login as: rootroot@192.168.0.2's password: alpineiPhone:~ root#I get a list of the files (i.e. all mp3's by Arkana!) i want from my PC
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%>cd Documents\Music..\Documents\Music>dir /s/b *Arkana*.mp3 >list
then i upload (with running mongoose in Music folder) my list to iPhone and convert it to ios format
~ # curl -C - -O http://192.168.0.2:8080/list
~ # sed -i "s/$(printf '\r')\$//" list
i create a folder named music and i download/upload there from my PC all the mp3's i want!!
~ # mkdir Music
~ # mv list Music/
~/Music/ # cd Music
~/Music/ # for i in $(
~/Music/ # rm list
After that i have my files where i want them...
...and now the Magic begins!
Let's listen to some music!
~/Music/ # for i in $(ls *.mp3);do play ${i}; done &
[1] 1181
~/Music/ #
the number in brackets is the specifc number for this "job"(jobspec) in our case playing mp3's
the next number is the number of the process(PID) doing the "job"
the next number is the number of the process(PID) doing the "job"
Ready to get back to work listenning your music..
***WARNING*** don't close the window of PuTTY session because your music will die with it :(
oops..something you forgot. you have to go to kitchen and grab a snack! no problem!
Pause the music!!!!!!
here is how.. ON the SAME window of PuTTY session you send a SIGnal to stop the program playing
~/Music/ # jobs -l
[1]+ 1181 Running for i in $(ls *.mp3)
do
play ${i};
done
~/Music/ # kill -l
HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM URG STOP TSTP CONT CHLD TTIN TTOU IO XCPU XFSZ VTALRM PROF WINCH INFO USR1 USR2
~/Music/ # kill -STOP 1181OR
~/Music/ # kill -n 17 1181The STOP is the 17th signal to the process number 1181 which is our music playing
You have your snack, now you can continue listenning to music...
Resume the music!!!!
~/Music/ # jobs -l
[1] 1181 Stopped for i in $(ls *.mp3)
do
play ${i};
done
~/Music/ # kill -l
HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM URG STOP TSTP CONT CHLD TTIN TTOU IO XCPU XFSZ VTALRM PROF WINCH
~/Music/ # kill -CONT 1181OR
~/Music/ # kill -n 19 1181The continue (CONT) is the 19th signal to the process number 1181 which is our music playing
Bluetooth
Of course you can use the more user-friendly UI of Remote controling your music through Bluetooth, the protocol AVRCP is implemented in iPhone 3G.I managed to get remote contoller and stereo sound(A2DP) working together under Windows XP after installing Atheros Bluetooth Suite.
There is not much to explain. First you have to pair the iPhone with the PC.
Then just start your ipod App or audio player on the iPhone and go to Bluetooth Suite
select your iPhone and then select Stereo Audio Gateway and you are listenning your iPhone music from your PC speakers and you have !
For the separete option you will use AirPlay button on iPhone player Just press the Airplay button and select iPhone and your iPhone speakers or headphones will work again.
