Hi,

Does anyone know if Python for Series 60 could be used to remotely control a mobile phone from a PC i.e. send MMS, SMS, make phone calls, press keys on the handset. I am trying to write a script to automatically generate SMS, MMS etc. I have been using Perl to achieve this via AT commands, but now I need a more sophisticated way of doing it such as pressing keys on the phone from the PC. I also have installed tools that come with the Phone, but these cannot be easily scripted.

nice concept... sounds exciting...

u wanna acheive it using bluetooth (ie over a small radius) or something like sending sms to remote mobile to initiate a task ...

let me also search / think about it...

any idea pls do share....

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have connected the phone to the PC using USB. I can get the phone to make calls and send SMS using AT commands, but not MMS or keypress. Some manufacturers achieve this using a virtual phone on the desktop which you can then interact with. I would like to get behind that interface and communicate at a lower level. There most be some other protocol (than AT commands) to drive the phone from the PC.

John,
I have no idea how to help you, but it seems you have significant knowledge of AT Commands. I'm trying to write a program to manipulate some of the phone's functions (calls, sms, mms) over bluetooth and it appears that AT commands might be the best way to go about this. I have no idea how to use AT commands though. Perhaps you could contact me via email and I could ask some questions? Thanks for the help and good luck with your project.

An other possibility is to write a Python server that listen to bluetooth interface on the phone.

From the PC you send some OPCodes. After, you just need to write the proper handler on the phone that will run the command corresponding to an OPCode.

With this method you could use keypress and all the other modules to access the different parts of the phone.

lfd is on the right track, but forget bluetooth. At least, if you intend to do automated testing and reliability is a must. Use cable connection ( USB ) and save yourself from the pain. My approach is to send complete Python scripts ('import keypress;keypress.SoftLeft()' etc.). This allows me to do anything from PC side without touching the listener script on the phone.

Please have a look at one article I recently posted on the Wiki http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...bot_from_PyS60

I'll release an open source project using this in a very short delay.
