Abstract :
The performance of mobile devices, especially smart phones, has been quickly improved for the last few years. Most users take advantage of highly efficient smart phones, and consume the contents in the smart phones longer time than other devices usage time. As a result, users frequently share the contents and the needs of file sharing via smart phones have been increased considerably. Existing peer-to-peer sharing frequently incurs disconnections and retransmissions. A Web hard-based sharing needs to pay expensive cost for using high-volume file servers as well. In order to overcome such problems, we propose an application for seamless file sharing for the Android devices. The seamless service manager and the file manager in the proposed application share files seamlessly by choosing faster and more stable network automatically - one of the Bluetooth and the WI-FI. We expect that the proposed application could be a cost effective and reliable solution for file sharing among mobile devices.
