Android Phone Silencer App: 1) Background/ Problem Statement

The document describes the development of an Android phone silencer app. The app allows users to preset dates and times for their phone to automatically switch to silent mode, helping in situations like meetings or lectures where ringing needs to be silenced. It uses location services and predefined criteria like time, charging state, and more to determine when to activate silent profiles. The app was created using Android Studio and utilizes SQLite for data storage. It aims to provide a user-friendly way for phones to automatically switch profiles and volumes based on a user's specific needs.

Android Phone Silencer App

1) Background/ Problem Statement

One of the functions of the smartphone is the ringer volume. In


general, all smartphones can be turned into silent mode by setting it
manually by pressing the volume button. However, there is a software
application that turns the volume into silent mode automatically based
on a predefined setting.
Every mobile manufacturer just focuses on the technology for the
future but forgets that the ringer function can be their future
technology. The objective of this project is to develop an auto-silent
mode application for android smartphones and improve the
performance of the developed auto-silent application.
Our project is about providing completely automated profile switching
that will enable the device to switch to the Silent Mode based on the
data stored by the users in the database as per their requirements.
2) Working of the Project

There are many places like Hospitals, Universities, Corporate offices etc.
where it is clearly mentioned, “KEEP YOUR MOBILE PHONES SILENT!!”
Many times, people forget to switch the mobile to the “Silent Mode”
which is not feasible every time like in an important meeting, lectures
etc.
Our android-based Phone Silencer App allows the user can set the
phone to silencer mode by predefining the date and time so that the
phone does not ring while attending a meeting or in an important
situation. In this project, the front-end involves XML, Android-Java and
the back-end involves SQLite. The IDE used is Android Studio.
This android application for automatic profile switching will provide
near completely automated profile switching. The locations will be
activated for the profile-changing functions. It plays an important role
in mapping the groups with the locations selected.
3) Advantages

 It is easy to maintain.
 It is user-friendly.
 The system automatically switches to silent mode.
 It helps in important situations like meetings, conferences
and lectures.
4) System Description
The system comprises 1 major module with its sub-modules as
follows:
 USER:

 Home: The list of timed and automatic profiles can be viewed by


the user.
 Profile Details: The user can add, update and delete their profile
details.
 Add New Profile
1. Profile details
o Profile Name: The user can add a profile name.
o Automatic Profile: Activates automatically when
criteria(options) meet.
o Time Profile: Activates when the time meets (From time - To
time)
o Description: Short brief about the timer.
2. Criteria (Options) In Profile
a) Add Location
o Add Coordinates: As per user requirement
(Dynamic).
o Range: Add range in metres (e.g., Go on silent
mode or activates profile within the range of 200
metres)
b) Charging: When the user plug-in or plug-outs
c) Time: Weekly, Every day, Custom days.
3. Volume to change:
o The user can change Ring Volume, Notification Volume,
Media Volume, Call volume, and Alarm volume.
4. Modes
o Change the mode to silent, vibrate, normal and DND.
5) Project Life Cycle

The waterfall model is a classical model used in the system


development life cycle to create a system with a linear and sequential
approach. It is termed a waterfall because the model develops
systematically from one phase to another in a downward fashion. The
waterfall approach does not define the process to go back to the
previous phase to handle changes in requirements. The waterfall
approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
development.
6) System Requirements

I. Hardware Requirement

i. Laptop or PC
 Windows 7 or higher
 I3 processor system or higher
 8 GB RAM or higher
 100 GB ROM or higher

ii. Android Phone (6.0 and above)

II. Software Requirement

iii. Laptop or PC
 Android Studio
7) Limitation/Disadvantages
- The user will need to set all the details for activating
automatic silent mode on their device correctly, otherwise,
it will lead to the wrong outcome.

8) Application – This application will enable the device to switch to


the Silent Mode based on the data stored by the users in the
database as per their requirements.
