8a - Solving The Problem

My problem is forgetting your keys or wallet before wanting to go out. The solution to this common problem would be to make small Bluetooth capable devices. For your wallet the device would be the shape and size of a credit card and for your keys it would be a simple key chain. The devices would contain small rechargeable batteries to keep the product compact and so the consumer would not have to worry about changing the batteries. The batteries will be wirelessly charged on a charging station pad. How the devices would work would be that they would connect via Bluetooth to the consumers phone and as soon as the consumer walks far enough away from the device that is with their keys or wallet the Blue tooth connection would be lost and they would get a notification on their phone telling them that the connection had been lost. The notification would also tell them the coordinates of the last place the device had been when last connected or how far away they are from it.

  1. Hey Zac,
    I love your innovative idea of tracking your lost wallet or keys. I think this would help a large amount of people and ultimately become a rapidly popular product. The whole notification part of your idea is brilliant and if it could be made cheap enough, this could make a whole lot of lives easier. I think there is something that does this already called "Tile", but your product is similar and unique, which puts you into competition with them. Sounds like a great idea though, keep it up!
