Week 4 - Input & Output

The input and output part of my entrepreneurial-ship idea is probably the most important. It is what the whole concept runs on, being able to wirelessly, without putting the key in the lock, open, close, set the alarm and other things people set or do before leaving their home. This concept could start out simple and expand exponentially. There are many things to do with this idea, you could make an app for phones, you could make it built in cars, or even built in the car key so that the car key and the house key are one thing.

Eventually it is necessary to make an iphone, android and other smartphone apps. The idea of this whole concept is easy of use and combining multiple steps in the process of leaving a home and leaving it secure. Making the home key built into a phone is crucial. Someone should be able to take out their phone and lock the house, set which motion detectors they want on, set the alarm and even watch the security cameras around their house. As useful as this is, it is absolutely necessary that there are no security flaws. This can be password protected, voice protected or even a fingerprint scanner can be added.

Separate from an iphone app, the actual key uses RFID technology. First you should configure the setting. You should be able to set if you would like it to automatically lock the dock once you leave the home or you can set it so you still have to set it as locked. Going back home and unlocking the door is going to need much more security, obviously you can't just be able to open the door by being near the door. That would be a major security flaw. You will need to type in a code and the key needs to be able to recognize that it is in-fact you. One idea is that each key is only assigned to one person, no one else can use it even a family member. This will increases security and make sure some people can't break in.
