This is a place for ideas. Most will be ideas for new products. Perhaps they already exist, but I have not seen them. Perhaps people will take these ideas and use them for personal gain. That is fine with me. Other ideas may include topics for research projects that would be of interest to me. If you have ideas you would like to share with the world, let me know and I will be happy to post them here also.

KidFinder

KidFinder is a smart phone app for parents. When a child calls on the phone, in a single click the app immediately captures the child's current location, and then provides turn-by-turn navigation to the location. The app also then saves the location for future reference.

Sample Applications:
  • Child is lost, can call parent from any phone and then wait for parent to arrive
  • Child is at a friend's house and needs to be picked up
  • Child doesn't know the address of where they are
Design:
