RSD= Remote Surveillance Device----Java program turns Android phone into a remote monitoring device. Smart phones already have GPS, audio, camera, iNet, Accelerometer, auto-dialing, speakerphone, & other functions. Program would allow Control (other cell, or website) to call the phone w/ a silent ring tone, & have Monitor (cell which is monitoring the remote situation) pick up remotely, so Control is able to listen in. If Monitor has video, Control could remotely turn on video which transmits to Control. If no video, take pix silently. This would allow you to mount it hidden in your car, room, hotel room, or other place. When GPS/Accelerometer in RSD cell changes, it dials other cell/website & sends alarm w/ Text, or call which lets Control listen in.. Control can pickup/dial & view video/pix of whoever is in car, listen in on what they are saying, track their movement on Google Maps, or on website, all without driver's knowledge. When some sensor is activated (ie door is opened, car is bumped, etc., you could have it set to sound audio alarm (ringtone programmable) +/or silent call to other cell/website. This could just be another line on a family plan, so calls are free, other than the monthly charge. Anywhere the Monitor phone is set could be monitored. If you wanted discreet audio monitoring, you could hide phone behind something in area you want to monitor. If you want video, you would have to make it so the camera can see area, but could be behind tinted glass if light is good enough. Watch a meeting/event you were unable to attend by having a friend take phone there. It could be used as car security, whatever. Could dock Monitor to a motion sensor, etc to activate whenever there is any motion around it. All the functionality is already built-in to the smart phones. It might even be able to be set so it can monitor any calls that are made from it. by dialing other cell/site & having it run as a conference call, etc.---They do it in the movies--(?)
Some capabilities may be of questionable legality/ethics: Parents could monitor baby in other room, spy on teenagers, cheating spouse, demonstrating "clairvoyant powers", pranks, etc.
