CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION Mobile as a personnel assistent for Symbian OS is a comprehensive suite to handle

incoming and outgoing calls, log and record each and every conversation, set up and use ,

create and group your own short text (SMS) and audio messages to automate your calling

activities. Make your mobile phone your all-in-one secretary and reply to incoming calls

automatically.

A mobile phone or mobile (also called cell phone and hand phone, as well as cell phone,

wireless phone, cellular phone, cell, cellular telephone, mobile telephone or cell

telephone) is a long-range, electronic device used for mobile telecommunications (mobile

telephony, text messaging or data transmission) over a cellular network of specialized

base stations known as cell sites.

To make mobile phone more interactive and to handle calls independently and

automatically as guided by the owner without human intervention. To make mobile

phone act as a personnel Assistant to the owner by Handling incoming calls automatically

that is pre-guided by its owner .

1.1 Aim and Objectives

Mobile as a personnel assistent for Symbian OS is designed to improve your call

handling productivity and effectiveness.

Imagine that you are on the business meeting and cannot accept a call directly.

With Mobile as a personnel assistent for Symbian OS it is no longer a problem!

You may accept the call and answer it by selecting from pre-recorded audio

messages or text messages.

Mobile as a personnel assistent for Symbian OS allows you to create your own

groups for sounds and messages, providing the necessary features for small

1.2 About the project

This project has been developed using Symbian OS that work in Windows, which

provides a great opportunity for software developers since smartphone users arealways looking for good applications for their devices.The language used to develop

the project is Qt.

CHAPTER 2

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2.1 The Existing Mobile call VPA Services and Features

Virtual Personal Assistant VPA allows mobile professionals to manage voice-mail,

e-mail, fax, contact information, and scheduling of meetings and tasks via Voice User

Interface (VUI). Using a VPA, information that resides on the internet, corporate intranet

or any internal network or database can be accessed. The core of VPA is a voiced enabled

unified messaging (UM) platform to support voice/video Mail, Email and Fax.. Fig.1

shows the VPA from the user perspective. The VPA package integrates and manages the

Microsoft Exchange/Outlook office automation suite, including the user Inbox, contact

list, calendar, and task manager, according to a set of policies and filters set by the user.

In the subsequent sections we cover in more detail some of the perceived features of the

new generation of VPAs. The below figure (1) shows the mobile call VPA features.

Figure 1: Mobile-call VPA Services and features

2.2 Proposed functionality for mobile call VPA

When a mobile user gets an incoming call, a caller ID lists or group will be is played

(family, VIP, friends, business and others). Once the caller ID has been displayed the

next step is to know the status of the user (driving, busy (meeting), work, relaxing). Once

the status of the user is known it automatically interacts with calendar events A

geographical location its longitude and latitude have all been detected automatically by

the device. Once all the events, status and locations are known the final output of that is

to perform actions (handle incoming call) such as (sending sms or respond through voice

replies or ignore). The below figure (2) shows the flow diagram of mobile call VPA.

CHAPTER 4

DESIGN

We present the design in two parts. They are as below

The System Design

The Detailed Design

4.1The System Design

This gives the overall archeitecture of the system and its abstract in nature.We use

dataflow diagrams to provide the design view.

4.1.1 A Breif Introduction of the components of design characteristics

What the end user of our project sees who makes a call to the person who have the

mobile virtual assistant is the output interms of preguided sms which will be

automatically sent to him.

Dept of CSE,SJBIT 8




The language we have used here to design the project is Qt,that works in Windows

operating system. Qt (pronounced "cute") is a cross-platform application development

framework widely used for the development of GUI programs (in which case it is known

as a widget toolkit ), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such as console

tools and servers. Qt is most notably used in Google Earth, KDE, Opera, OPIE, VoxOx,

Skype, VLC media player and VirtualBox. It is produced by Nokia's Qt Development

Frameworks division, which came into being after Nokia's acquisition of the Norwegian

company Trolltech, the original producer of Qt, on June 17, 2008.

Qt uses standard C++ but makes extensive use of a special pre-processor (called the

Meta Object Compiler , or moc) to enrich the language. Qt can also be used in several

other programming languages via language bindings. It runs on all major platforms andhas extensive internationalization support. Non-GUI features include SQL database

access, XML parsing, thread management, network support, and a unified cross-platform

API for file handling.

Meta object compiler

Known as the moc, this is a tool that is run on the sources of a Qt

program. It interprets certain macros from the C++ code as

annotations, and uses them to generate additional C++ code with

"Meta Information" about the classes used in the program. This meta

information is used by Qt to provide programming features not

available natively in C++: the signal/slot system, introspection and

asynchronous function calls.

QtScript ECMAScript interpreter

Qt Script for Applications is a cross-platform toolkit that allows developers to make their

Qt/C++ applications scriptable using an interpreted scripting language: Qt Script (based

on ECMAScript/JavaScript).From Qt 4.3.0 onward, the scripting API, which is based on

QSA, is integrated as a core part of Qt and is no longer a separate library.
