Control PC from iPhone.. communicate?

Mike Yurgalavage · Post by **Mike Yurgalavage** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 1:27 am

Let's say you had an app on the iphone that if you pressed a specific button, it would send a signal somehow through the network and the PC would detect that you pressed it? This could be used for gaming or remote control of on-screen stuff on the PC. Has anyone dabbled in this? Any ideas how to go about this, using Purebasic? Any iPhone SDK kits or whatever that allow this?

thanks!

I don't know how to do it in PureBasic because I know nothing about networking, but there are plenty of iPhone apps in the App Store to control your PC via your wi-fi network (I've used one in the past), so it's certainly possible.

I see something like that for controlling Games on PC from an Android device.

The idea they do this is simple. On the PC side, there is a "Server" that shows a webpage on the mobile, and it reacts
on "what button is pressed". The result goes to the program (on windows with api sendkeys)

And on the mobile device is only a browser with the correct webpage ....

@Bisonte good idea

example :

i use "html5 WebSocket" for connection..

code html run with chrome in your phone

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title>Purebasic WebSocket</title>
<script>
var exampleSocket;
var YourIP = "192.168.1.102"; // here put your ip !
var Port = 8100;

function connect(){ 
    // créer l'objet WebSocket et connecter à "localhost = 127.0.0.1" sur le port 8100
    exampleSocket = new WebSocket("ws://"+YourIP+":"+Port); 
    
    exampleSocket.onopen = function (event) { 
   // la connexion est établie avec le serveur
   console.log("/!\\ Connexion serveur"); 
   // envoyer un message
    exampleSocket.send('{ "type": "start", "content":"By celtic88"}'); 
   } 
  
    exampleSocket.onerror = function (event) { console.log(event); } 
    
    exampleSocket.onmessage = function (event) { 
   // Des données ont été reçues !
   // extraire la commande envoyée par le serveur
     var message = JSON.parse(event.data);
         switch(message.type) {
         case "text":
            console.log(message.content);
            document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = message.content;
            break;
         case "close":
             // fermer la fenêtre
            console.log(message.content);
                window.open('', '_self', '');
                window.close();
            break;         
          case "click":
             // Cliquez sur un élément
            console.log(message.content);
            document.getElementById(message.content).click
            break;          
          case "open_url":
                //
            break;
       }
   } 
    
    exampleSocket.onclose = function (event) {
   // déconnection ! reconnecter aux serveur ?
    connect() ;
   document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = "en attente de la connexion...";
    console.log("/!\\ Déconnexion serveur"); 
   } 
    
}
  function helloServer()
  {
    // envoyer le message écrit dans txtgadget "myText"
     exampleSocket.send('{ "type": "tchat", "content":"'+document.getElementById("myText").value+'"}'); 
  }
  
connect();
</script>
</head>

<body>

<h1>WebSocket Exemple</h1>

<p>sélectionner "Console" dans le debugger menu. </p>

<input type="text" id="myText" value="message...">

<input type="button" onclick="helloServer()" value="envoyer le message au serveur">

<fieldset><legend>Message serveur</legend> 
  <div id="message" ></div>
</fieldset>

</body>
</html>
