| Many precious personal belongings, either by theft or carelessness, are easily lost and will cause serious damage. According to a report by TechCrunch: US citizen, on average, lost one smart phone annually, which will cause 30 billion dollar loss of money in 2012. Not to mention the lost of wallet, which may cause the lost of your driving license, cash and credit cards. Our idea is to use wireless communication technology to remarkably decrease the lost rating of those important items you carry. Since those personal belongings(i.e. wallet, cell-phone, keychain...) are supposed to be very close to you, we would pair them up(use transmitters and receiver) and make a portable device that could be easily hooked up/carried in your jacket/coats. This device will detect if any of the personal belongings are too far from you (for example more than 1 meter) and send out an alarm. The device should also be able to turned on/off manually with password. In case of theft, the stealer may trying to run away, so the alarm beep will also come from the losing personal belongings, with the alarm volume proportional to the distance between you and the potentially losing item. This portable device should be able to pair up with multiple personal belongings, and the paired up transmitter on the personal belongings should be very small and light-weight, but also able to sent out high-volume alarm. |
