So you're losing memory? | |||||||||||||||||
I had this dream some years ago...I'm always loosing small stuff : keys, mobile phone, ... The only thing I'm not losing is my watch since I have it always on my arm. So my idea is to have some special radiocontrolled stickers, to stick on everything you do not want to lose. For instance, a sticker on my mobile phone, sticker in my wallet, sticker on my key rings, sticker on my girlfriend... Then I'll have a watch that can vibrate (or ring) and that will work in two modes : If I lose for instance my keys, I'll press a button on the watch, and I'll go around my appartment. The watch sends a radio signal every 2 seconds to the key's sticker and ask it to reply. When I'm less than 2 meters from the keys, the "keys" replies, and the watch vibrates ! Then I'll dig into the mess to find them ! Another mode, more proactive : on certain objects, I'll choose the proactive mode. Let say, I put my wallet into proactive mode. Then, every 2 seconds the watch queries the wallet, if the wallet do not reply, the watch vibrate (or ring) ! What's the use of that mode ? Errr if you want to know when someone is stealing your wallet, or put an alarm on your keys no to forget them when you go out of your appartment... (imagine your keys on your desk, you're almost leaving the appartment, the watch vibrates...) You could imagine other uses : put a watch on your young kid, and sticker on the hoven, swiming pool... As soon as your kid is less than 2 meters from a sticker, the watch rings !!! What do you think?

Technologically doable with RFID technology, or even a dumb transponder.
This is similar to a subject of losing television remotes and this guy had a really good idea of coneecting a keyfinder (Whistle and it beeps) to his remote control. You can also buy these boxes that you mount on the wall and they have say... 5 buttons and you attach the 5 modules to objects you normally lose. When you push the button, a loud beep is heard.
