Answering Keys !



What do you think answering keys are  ?
Exactly that. When I call for them, I want my keys to answer back.
Just the way we search for a mobile. You always give a call to that number and you know where it is. Well, unless you have been really lazy and not charged it since last Monday and the poor thing has gone stone dead...or like me you are an 'irresponsible mobile user' (many ppl who know me will be be saying ...yes you are) who has no clue when the moble was last handled ...so it could be screaming its head off in the office pantry or the lakme parlour or  more often than not my moms house :)
So minus all thse complications, normal mobile users tend to find their mobiles by giving it a ring.
Now, I want to extend this technology to my keys.
Basically I want to 'page' them.

So i can think of 2 approaches :
-a device which is a little bigger than a sim card is needed. It should seat a sim inside it.
(am still a GSM person at heart ...cant get beyond the sim concept)
-this should be used a key holder - so i can call that number and it voila it rings, vibrates, shines etc etc ...
- the sim need not have all call processing capabilities, nor the sim holder is a real mobile, it should just be good enough to receive calls.
-May be an enhancement is to call a cell from the key ...an answering and calling key !

Second approach :
-enhance existing mobiles ot page a new device
-the device should be used as a key holder.

May be I should patent this idea.
May be it already exists and is not a great idea ...
Maybe I should not lose my keys :)

  2. Good one Jyothi :) Something that we often wish. Isnt there something like a key finder kind of instrument shown in one of Jennifer Aniston's movie(not exactly in the key and not necessary that it would have worked really anyway)... Its something like you wish you have a Find key while reading a book:)
