This paper designs an Android-based mobile
terminal real-time image monitoring system, making the remote
monitoring of Android-based mobile terminal through Short
Message Service (SMS) come into being, and thus gaining the
image of Remote Mobile Terminals (RMT). The overall function
of the process is: install this system on an Android-based RMT;
register monitoring number and monitoring code; when the
Local Monitor Terminal (LMT) sends SMS commands to RMT,
SMS monitoring module of this system captures SMS, separates
the incoming number and content and compares them
respectively with the registered records in the SQLite database. If
the match is successful, a message is replied and the LMT sends
the information code needed to acquire according to the content
of the message. The RMT takes photos and replies Multimedia
Messaging Service (MMS) according to the code. This system can
be operated normally after testing, and shows promising
application value.
