"Quixun announced on July 5th that they have developed a system enabling the use of a mobile phone as PC keyboard and mouse.
This system employs the infrared communication function of a mobile phone, allowing it to control a PC from afar. It achieved by connect an infrared sensor to the PC via USB, and installing a special application on a mobile phone with an infrared communication function.
The keypress that is inputted to the phone is converted into a keypress for the PC by infrared sensor that is attached to the PC by USB (for example, pressing the "2" key twice on the phone will result in a keypress of "B" on the computer). Operation of the mouse, though not entirely finalized due to software specifications, will likely be emulated using the directional buttons of the phone. Customizations depending on phone model itself are also planned, such as coping with changing between keyboard and mouse mode, and dealing with different input styles such as that of NTT DoCoMo's "N901iS."" continued ...
