d) Phone Theft Analysis

In this module, we are going to produce phone theft

analysis. At the time of registration, user register the
standard queries. If the phone is snatched, camera is
initiated and photo is taken so anonymous person is
captured by the android application. This photo is
uploaded to the main server. Once the photo is uploaded to
the server, that link is captured and send as SMS alert to the
alternate number of the first user. Apart from the photo
capturing event anonymous persons voice is also recorded
for better recognition of that person. Once the audio is
captured that file is sent as E-mail to the first users E-mail
