I actually did a presentation on this concept for a entrepreneurship class I was taking awhile back. It was one of those classes where everyone comes up with a concept and then you form groups around the class's favorite concepts in order to produce a complete business plan by the end. Well the class voted down my idea and I ended up in a group doing some useless thing I don't even recall. But in any case the cat has been out of the bag on the idea for awhile now.
If I understand patents correctly, though, you can't patent an idea. You can only patent an invention. And you have to describe the invention in sufficient detail so that someone "competent in the arts" (I think that's the wording they use) could recreate it. So far this is just a concept that seems like it should be feasible.
I'd love to see the functionality of one of those keyless entry remote dealies for your car embedded in a decent looking watch. Has anyone ever seen such a thing? A quick google turned up nothing.
