Phonepoint, Utilizing Cell Phone as a Presentation Tool
Category: Cellphone Application -
Synchronization between cell phone and PC can be used for many purposes. Besides for backing up personal data, synchronization also enables both devices to control each other. K700i Sony Ericsson’s synchronization feature, for instance, shows us how easy it is to control PC menus with a phone.
In accordance with advancing development of technology, synchronization feature between PC and cell phone can be useful for your business activities. One of them is to do presentation before your business partners.
However, firstly we should agree that the PC or laptop we use in our presentation might limit our movements while doing presentation, especially when we wish to change one page to another. Now, with synchronization, you can use your lovely cell phone as a remote to control your presentation, without having to be near your laptop or PC.
All you need is Phonepoint, an application for Bluetooth-supporting symbian phones produced by an English developer named Devlex Industries. This application can control PC Presentation (Power Point) via your phone’s Bluetooth.
Operating Phonepoint is not difficult and does not require many configurations. Besides being shown in your PC’s screen, your presentation materials can be directly connected to the projector.
System Requirements:
- PC or Notebook
- Microsoft Power Point Application version 2000 or higher
-Windows XP or Windows Vista operation system
- PC supported by the Bluetooth dongle
- Symbian Phones Series60
- Projector and Wide Screen
Installation Steps:
1. Download Phonepoint.
2. Install EzChat application on both your PC and cell phone.
3. During the PC installation, you will be asked to decide the series of your cell phones by choosing either Series60 Ver1-2 or Series60 Ver3. Automatically, Nokia’s original software installer (if Nokia PC Suit has been installed in your PC) will pop up. Simply select ‘PhonePoint’ .sis file and install it like installing other applications.
4. Connect the Bluetooth dongle as well as the projector (to have a wider view) to the PC. Next, run Power Point. If you already have the presentation files, you can directly open it. File > Open, and select the folder in which the presentation files are located.
5. If you haven’t had a Power Point file, you can directly make one. File > Open > New, and create the materials which are going to be presented, including the necessary images. The number depends on the necessity.
6. Activate the Bluetooth in your cell phone, and run PhonePoint. Next, the screen will be divided into three information boxes. The upper box shows the number of pages in the presentation and the title of each page. The lower left box shows slide show duration, while the lower right shows the time of the presentation.
7. To start showing your presentation materials, select “Options” menu > “Select PC”, and your cell phone will be searching your PC Bluetooth. If your PC is shown, click “Select”.
8. After being connected, the presentation can be started. Select “Options” > “First Slide”. To move to the next or previous pages, simply use your left and right navigation button. To view other pages not in order, simply select “Options” > “Go to Slide”, enter the number of the desired page to be displayed > “OK”.
