I was driving home tonight and had this idea that I think would be a goodun. I’m always having to answer my phone and push 6 whenever someone comes over and has to use the little boxy deal to open the gate. I want to automate this process. I think cell phones should have a scripting language you can use to do various stuff on the phone. Like pre-process calls. So you could write a little script to say on ring, check the number; if the number is x, do the following (like answer and input 6). So as long as my phone was on, it would automatically let people in the gate. This seems like a really simple idea that I think people (like me) could make a good use of. It’s already sort of part of the way there; for example, having a different ring for each person. This is just taking that one step further. So just give me a little API to a scripting engine on the phone that I can use to auto open the gate. That’s all I’m asking.
