I have been thinking for a system like this sinds my last phone was stolen :(<br><br>What I would like is:<br>simcard is changed -> phone sents email/sms to a server.<br>Gives me the new phone number, a code to call the phone silent.
<br>Possibility to call phone and open a remote terminal.<br>With acces to GPS data, and all personal data, my own and from the new owner.<br><br>Fuck with him for a while (sent delayed (with cron) a few sms messages to his friends) change his agenda, etc etc
<br><br>Look him up at the most embarrassing place (work, school) and get my phone back.<br><br><br>Buddy<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">wim delvaux</b> <<a href="mailto:wim.delvaux@adaptiveplanet.com">

<br>of our precious gadgets get stolen (or lost).<br><br>Not being a hardware guy, I was wondering if one could build/integrate/stick<br>to them some kind of 'anti-proximity' detector.<br><br>This is a device that consists of a a central - costly ? - pockettable
<br>detector (that probes for a set of devices within a know list every now and<br>then) and which you put in your pocket, or wallet or on your keychain.<br><br>Around that device a 'cloud' of periferals exists (Neo, wallet, Phone,
<br>Laptop, ...) each tagged with a cheap ID which gets probed by the central.<br><br>If any of the periferals fall out of range, the central beeps warning me - the<br>owner of these nice periferals - that I am loosing one.
<br><br>I do not know if this idea is at all feasible (battery consumption, size, ...)<br>or perhaps it even exists, but I wanted to float this idea.<br><br>Suggestions comments welcome<br><br>W<br><br>_______________________________________________
