Remote control your smart-phones on the Peepel Platform

The Peepel team have introduced some really cool features into Doo Phone such as remote control of some of the advanced smart-phone features.

Doo Phone is designed to be a very simple user interface.  For the standard version (1.0), the user is only able to make and receive calls via a simplified menu (more features will be available in future versions).  All the advanced features, including menus and settings, are only available to the user by entering a PIN code. This PIN code would normally only be known by the user’s carer so that they alone are responsible for the setup of the phone. Once the Windows smart phone is setup and the Doo Phone software is installed, everything else can be setup and administered via the remote web-based management console.

Some of the Doo Phone handset features that can be administered remotely via the web-based management console include:

• Monitor Doo Phone’s battery life.
• Add, edit and remove contacts.
• Add, change and remove picture/photo and sound file for each contact.
• Change the display order of contacts.
• View the location of the Doo Phone on an interactive map (accuracy determined by Cell Tower or GPS).
• Turn on/off GPS for accurate locating and tracking (GPS is off by default to preserve battery life).
• Enable/disable the phone’s numeric dialler (note that with the number pad disabled, the user can only call their listed contacts).

These features are fantastic for Doo Phone users and are sure to make their lives easier and safer, however they’re not only available to Doo Phone! The Peepel team can implement these and other features into custom applications for any client by use of our Peepel Platform services.

The Peepel Platform is ‘purpose built’ as a base for creating incredible interactive web and mobile applications. With customisable office applications, collaborative utilities, our own mapping engine and much more; the sky is the limit for what can be built upon the Peepel Platform.

The comic below is a hypothetical situation that simply shows how beneficial remote administration and tracking of Doo Phone can be.

Doo Phone is coming…

Peepel is proud to announce the launch of another exciting product that has been developed upon the Peepel Platform. The Doo Phone team is currently finishing off all the last minute, tidy up tasks and will be ready to release it to the public within 24 hours!

Doo Phone is simply a remarkable product; so simple and so extraordinary that people often ask, “why didn’t someone think of this before?”

Doo Phone is designed to help those less able than others. Mobile phones have become more powerful, but too complex for the intellectually challenged and elderly, too fiddly for those with dexterity problems and too impractical for the hearing and visually impaired.  Doo Phone solves all these issues and more!

Doo Phone is a new and simplified interface for Windows touch-screen mobile phones. It is managed remotely via a secure website where the Doo Phone user can have a trusted person manage their phone and contacts.  Doo Phone can also be tracked by GPS and Cell Tower locations via the management website.  Simply log into the website and hit the ‘Find Doo Phone’ button and the location will appear on an interactive Peepel map.
