Abstract
The cellular phones do not use telephone cables. The cellular phones send radio signals into the air to the nearest transmitter tower called
the base station. The transmitter tower will emit the signal to the next station and so on until it reaches the phone that is called. When a
new call arrives on the phone number, it will generate a tone until it is picked up, rejected, or the time has been ended to receive this tone
(each telephone network provider has different policies related to the time used for this telephone connection so that this causes the num-
ber of rings raised to vary). This paper focuses on the missed call services which is one of the features found on the telephone. The tone
that has been generated by this calling can emerge ring. This ring can be detected and manipulated to be something useful for controlling
devices or making some password.

1. Introduction
The communication data is a field that has an intersection between
the field of communication and information technology. The com-
prising of the information technology has a wide contribution to
the human life while the communication in the worldwide has a
portion to share the information and make a network. The tech-
nology has a rapid innovation with the development of the devic-
es, products, and theories. This also has an impact on the other
sectors. The industrial revolution has also grown more over to
balance with the rising of the knowledge [1]. Many applications
could be categorized into some definitions. The categories of the
human-machine interaction (HCI) has 3 definitions which are the
interaction between person and person, the interaction between
person and machine, and the interaction between machine and
machine.
This paper addressed the control system which is emphasizing on
utilizing of the cellular phone services i.e. missed call service. A
missed calling is one of the features of the telephone that for some
people perhaps it could annoy but for others, it could be utilized, it
depends on the condition and usage. The missed call is an activity
to call a number of the mobile phone/cellular phone and hang up
before that mobile phone number can pick up the call. It could be
meaning if there is a commitment before such as requesting to call
back, picking up now, etc. [2]. The missed call is an intentional
use by older mobile phone users and it also could be known with
another term as deliberately missed call (DMC) [3]. The missed
call is no charge communication, but it could be charged by the
provider if the user intends to miss call to such number of mobile
phones but it gets the answer by the provider. At the beginning of
the emerging, this feature of the mobile phone in some countries
has been widely used and spread. The mechanism of the mobile
phones works can be written as following when the sender dials
the mobile phone numbers and thus press the call key. The mobile
phone will select the available radio channels and sends a radio
signal containing a mobile phone/telephone numbers that will be
called to the nearest base station. So then the base station will send
a signal to the nearest base station network until it finds the phone
that is called. The phone that is called sends a message back
through the base station, which states whether the phone is availa-
ble or not. At that time, it can be heard the dial tone. This will
continue until the telephone is picked up or disconnected by the
recipient. The dial tone sound has a number that varies from one
provider to another provider. The amount of information that can
be sent by the modem is limited by its speed in processing infor-
mation. The data compression can speed up the process by cutting
up information that is not important. The amount of information
that can be processed every second by a telephone is called the
bandwidth.
2. AT Commands
One of the control commands of the cellular phone modula-
tor/demodulator (modem) is known as an AT command. The AT
itself is an abbreviation of Attention [4]. Every command to con-
trol the modem starts with “AT” so that’s why it is called AT
commands e.g. ATA (used to answer), ATD (used to dial), ATH
(used to hook control), and ATO (used to return to online data). So
the command of “AT” is the prefix that instructs the modem to do
something or specific tasks. These command sets are supported by
the general packet radio service (GPRS) / global system for mo-
bile communication (GSM), besides for the modems, the mobile
phones are also supporting these command sets with the specific
to the technology of GSM e.g. AT+CMGL (used to list short mes-
sage service (SMS)), AT+CMGR (used to read an SMS messages),
AT+CMGS (used to send SMS message), and AT+CMSS (used to
send SMS message from the storage). From this definition, it
could be withdrawn a conclusion of the categories which are basic
commands and extended commands. The first example mentioned
is categorized as basic commands while the second example is
