Abstract

Android phones being stolen is a significant problem that causes concerns to intellectual privacy and property. Always protecting smartphones from being stolen is a problem that remains. The key findings of the survey of existing systems for theft protection are, they provide various efficient functionalities but fail when the internet is unavailable or require specialized equipment to detect thefts. Most of these solutions are not free of charge, inefficient, time-consuming, or/and inflexible. This paper puts forward a system that provides an ML-based real-time anti-theft and remote access system for android devices. It detects theft using SVM-RBF model trained on feature-set extracted from the inertial sensor’s data with an accuracy of 0.76. Whereas remote access is provided using short message services (SMS). The salient feature of this system is minimal configuration without intruding human-assisted tasks. Moreover, it will be an excellent help for authentic smartphone users to realize the theft situation and utilize the remote access features.

Highlights

  • Android phones change people’s way of living as they behave like a machine which is used to access data, documents, etc. and as a result, have become an essential part of their life

  • This paper presents a fast, user-friendly, android phone anti-theft system which can provide remote access to various functionalities of users phone and detect theft using ML and help the user to recover his/her device

  • As mentioned above, this paper puts forward a system that deals with theft and provides primary remote access to the user

Summary

Introduction

Android phones change people’s way of living as they behave like a machine which is used to access data, documents, etc. and as a result, have become an essential part of their life. Android-based mobiles are ubiquitous these days as they provide a considerable number of facilities that function in a wallet as a computer. These Android phones are beneficial for doing business. Android phones utilize Linux kernel with few design modifications that Google makes and controls the hardware. It will serve as a middleman between the machinery and the application that handles files and passes information between both the file system and hardware. Android has given Android System Interfaces (APIs) so that the system hardware can communicate with the kernel. Essential components of android application [1]
