A technician uses a tablet computer to establish a wireless connection with a large display screen inside the meeting chamber during an experiment yesterday to determine if data can be sent wirelessly to the screen from a hand-held electronic device.

Image may have been sent by Samsung device; phone number could be known within days

BANGKOK: -- Electronic devices of a particular brand were found yesterday to be capable of sending data to display screens inside Parliament and could be responsible for a recent "porn pic" scandal.

Kamphi Ditthakorn, deputy secretary-general of the House of Representatives, who chairs a fact-finding team investigating the scandal, said yesterday the culprit could be a Samsung smart phone.

He said an examination was underway to determine the phone number of the device used to send a lewd picture to display screens during a recent parliamentary meeting. Technicians from CAT Telecom and LG, which provides the display screens, were checking records of use, and the result could be known within two days.

Kamphi said some 86 people were found to have used mobile phones on the day of the meeting, from 4 am on April 18 to 4 am on April 19.

Parliament officials including Kamphi and technicians from CAT Telecom took part in an experiment in the chamber yesterday involving mobile phones, smart phones and tablets of different brands.

On April 18, during a televised debate on constitutional amendment, large display screens inside the parliamentary chamber briefly showed a picture of a partly unclothed woman in a lewd pose.

Yesterday's investigation found that Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computers and Samsung Galaxy Note smart phones could send data to the LG plasma TV screens inside the meeting chamber, without having to provide a password. The devices have a built-in application that allows the user to transmit data wirelessly to the screens through their WiFi dongle.

During the experiment, a link between the devices could be established within five seconds before an image file could be sent from a Samsung device to a screen.

Other devices, such as Apple's iPhone smart phone and iPad tablet computer, and Nokia mobile phones, could not make a wireless connection with the LG screens without a password. iPhone and iPad require an extra application called LGTV Remote to establish a connection, with a password.

Lower House secretary-general Pitoon Pumhirun said it was news to him that there was technology that allowed images to be sent wirelessly to a TV screen without a password or authorisation.

Pitoon said he would consult with experts to ensure that no unauthorised data could be transmitted to screens in the future. He said technicians at Parliament would also investigate to see whether they had been responsible for sending the photo, possibly unintentionally. Any technician responsible would face disciplinary punishment.

Meanwhile, Pheu Thai MP Paijit Sriworakhan, chairman of the House committee on parliamentary affairs, said his panel would meet on Thursday to discuss a similar controversy involving Democrat MP Nutt Bantadtan.

Nutt was photographed during a recent parliamentary debate using his phone with an image of a scantily dressed woman on the screen. He told a press conference later he was checking Facebook messages when the photo emerged and he sought to delete it.

Democrat Party spokesman Chavanond Komalyasut said Nutt used an iPhone so he was unlikely to be involved in sending any lewd image to the chamber's screens. He also said that Nutt was not in the chamber when the image appeared on the screen. The spokesman was responding to a suggestion by Pheu Thai MPs that Nutt may have sent the lewd image to large screens in the chamber.

LG blaming Samsung... could it be more ridiculous.?

Are they saying that "wifi Direct" was used for "beaming" the picture to the TV screen? What are they actually talking about? The "LGTV Remote" App does only provides basic features control (Volume, channel change...) & what is this password crap?

Gotta love the fact that if you are a technician then you will face disciplinary punishment while a panel is meeting to discuss a controversy with regards to MP Nutt conduct.

the question is, who was actually the woman in the pose?, -someone who went to all that trouble must have at least chosen a specific mistress or one of the MP's... the phone number will just be a SIM from a 7-11, no way to trace that.

"Any technician responsible would face disciplinary punishment."

Can you read the writing on the wall? Some little flunkie from tech. services will be crucified and, for good measure, his boss may be transferred to an inactive post for a month. And thus, another great threat facing the nation will have been dealt with.

If the LG wifi screens can log on to the same wifi that the android or iphones are logged on to, you are "in". No need for passwords once inside. If they had free wifi, then they screwed up big time, as anyone can log in. What sim card? I can log on to my wifi with NO sim card on the phone.

I use a number of apps to do attacks ( LEGAL, authorized by clients) to test their networks. Kids game!

what is this password crap?

maybe clip of the MP purchasing a pre-paid mobile sim from the shop cam, to be screen next via WiFi.

If Sumsung can really do that, it will be a Apple iPad/iPhone killer.

If they work on it long enough at some point I expect to see the full work of Shakespeare.

'password'

[Ferangled]

To suggest this would have to be from a Samsung device seems ignorant:

"The devices have a built-in application that allows the user to transmit data wirelessly to the screens through their WiFi dongle."

Actually the wifi is built in and not via a dongle, as it is with iPhones, iPads, and virtually every smart phone on the market, all of which are capable of transmitting data wirelessly... err ... that's what wifi devices do, it's not unique to Samsung!

As to passwords, the only one that seems relevant is that of their wireless network... mobile numbers & SIM cards? What relevance?

Some MP´s "mia noi"?

It would take a semi decent security engineer no more than 1 hour to know exactly everything there is to know about what happened.

[Tanaka]

It is reassuring to see that the Thai parliament is devoting time and money to things important to its people and country. Again. Kindergarten open yet?

It's a Japanese JAV porn actress. Trust me. I'm an expert.

Didn't some guy named Nutt already claim this and say he was tagged on Facebook?

Of so... what the eff?

Check Post # 4.

They are investigating how Photo # 1 occurred.

MP Nutt already admitted Photo # 2 was his.

progress in pathetic porn/parliament piss-take at piss poor peasants exPense....or not

[Nickymaster]

I believe the image comes from the computer connected to the screen... Just follow the cable I would say...

You cannot just send and image to a TV screen from your phone or so...

But it's funny to see how the PT party always manages to throw a conspiracy in the mix and then set up a committee (which works great for diverting attention).

They really enjoy them self in Parlament.

Getting drunk, watching porn. What next?

[bendejo]

Not only that, but the following weekend he went on vacation and put his dog in a cage then tied it to the roof of his car. Then when the dog got diarrhea....

I hope somebody gets the joke here.

LG cannot check owner of porno picture displayed on TV monitor in Parliament

The Nation

BANGKOK: -- LG Electronics has ruled out checking the owner of a mobile phone that wirelessly displayed a pornographic on a LG LED TV monitor inside the assembly hall.

Khampee Disthakorn, deputy secretary-general of the House of Representatives, said he had received a letter from LG headquarters in Korea that the TV did not have any device that recorded the wireless connection between its TV and mobile phones.

As a result, no further investigation could be done, Khampee said.

I posted this on another thread on this subject but this is a more appropriate one I think.

With the iphone 4s depending on what technology they have in the room, it is easy to beam what you are looking at on your phone (or ipad in fact) onto a TV etc. Peice of doddle! If you suffer from finger trouble (no pun intended), then bingo what you are looking at is up on the screen.

This is just a case of s**t happens. I was once running a very very important program in Saudi Arabia and was delivering a big presentation to 20 government officials whose recommendations would mean a massive project in my companies favour. I was co-presenting with a partner and we decided to use his mac book pro rather than have two separate systems running. I loaded my presentation on to the laptop and off we went. The presentation was epic and ran as smooth as silk. At the end prior to having a big discussion I told everybody to get a coffee break for 15-20 mins. They all departed the room with the exception of one who was packing his stuff up as he had to leave. He was bent down with his head below table height, sorting out a mass of paperwork in his case. I winked at my mate, whispered well done, shook his hand and then went to close the presentation. I swept the cursor rapidly to the right and unbeknown to me my partner had this movement set up to open everything on the desktop of the drive. Suddenly about 100 files started opening on the screen, the final one being a 'movie' (this all happened in about 3 seconds). Then in glorious technicolor beamed onto a 3m x 2m screen through the projector, upon hearing a strange noise 'i turned around to see a woman being rogered by 3 very well endowed colored gentleman. My mouth dropped and for about two seconds i froze like a rabbit in the headlights, before ripping out the sound link and putting my hand over the lens of the projector while i slammed the lid shut on the laptop! OMFG!!!! I turned to look at the senior Government official who then came out from under the table, smiled and said what a marvelous presentation it was and that he would definitely be recommending in our favour. Clearly as we got the job and my partner and I did not spend 10 years in a Saudi jail he did not see anything, and a passing aircraft helped drown out the noise.

After ripping my partners head off that evening and then both of us bursting out in hysterical laughter, i learned a lot about 'using other peoples computers' from that!! I still tremble now at the thought of packing the presentation away as we all got ready for our discussion with coffee served in the same room. I need to go for a lay down now !!!
