Distributed Intent: Android Framework for Networked Devices Operation
Yuki Nagahara, Hiroshi Ōyama, Takuya Azumi, Nobuhiko Nishio · 2013
We propose a distributed framework extending Intent in Android systems to improve collaboration with embedded devices. In the proposed framework, Android applications collaborate with embedded devices by sending serialized Intent messages to networked embedded devices. The applications can collaborate with embedded devices without proxy hardware. We indicate the framework's effectiveness by evaluating its execution times and memory usage.
