Hi, There's 2 apps I think would be really usefull: SMS Remote Control. Allow the NEO user to record a 'macro', like 'Call number xxxx in speaker-phone mode' , 'Beep loudly' or 'SMS my GPS coordinates to number xxx' etc (basically a shell script that could be created by selecting actions from a list in a GUI). Then allow them to assign this macro to a key-word, and password. If an SMS or email is received with that keyword and password in it, the phone should execute the associated macro . This would allow you to sms your phone to beep loudly if you can't find it, even if it is in the 'silent' profile and you wouldn't hear it ring if you called it. You could also sms it to send you its GPS coords, if you think it has been stolen. You could initiate it to make voice calls in speaker-phone mode, controlled from your PC, or some other device. You could build the phone into a car, and use this to command your car remotely, through a USB break-out box - set heating to x degrees, lock everything, cut engine at next halt, talk to driver over speaker-phone etc.
These SMS commands could be set to suppress any audio signal normally played when a message is received, and auto-discard themselves after execution. The second app would be a simple 'phone home ping' That would SMS the phone's current phone number, and GPS coords to a secure SMS gateway each time the SIM card is changed. This way if the phone was stolen, and the sim card was changed you would know the current phone number so you could send SMS commands to track the phone, etc. Then a nice sensor for V2 would be an RFID chip scanner. This way the phone could be completely locked unless it detected the RFID chip you had put in your arm on your last trip to a disco on Ibiza, or it could know how much money you had on you by detecting the RFID chips that are in banknotes... Not meant 100% seriously that one ;o) Cheers, Richard _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
