Abstract—The aim of this paper is to analyze existing mobile application’s architecture and design a new one based on it, in addition, it seeks to implement the application prototype as a proof of concept of the designed architecture. The main benefit of this research is to provide a base architecture for java mobile developers in order to develop a tracking application for lost mobile phones. The observations gathered on existing mobile applications show that most of the mobile applications in tracking lost phones are focused on three characteristics, which are client to server communication, SIM card data retrieval, and mobile application activation event. The result of this research is the application prototype that tracks lost mobile phones. The application prototype implements the architecture analyzed from the characteristics of existing mobile applications which are used to track lost mobile phones.
