I want to create a mobile phone application for those who don't want to waste time standing in line. One will have a possibility to check as well post line conditions with the app running on a mobile phone.

My idea is to create a mobile device which can be used by deaf and hearing-impaired people. I suggest creating a tool which would be integrated to any high-end mobile phone with a video camera. The tool would be based on motion detection technology, i.e. it would be possible to identify American Sign Language (ASL) and transmit video images over cell networks in the US.

Why not provide our mobile phones with ECG machine capability of clinical-quality readings? Such a cell phone should have a pair of electrodes to send ECG readings via Bluetooth. The device could be held in the hands to take pulse readings, or could be placed on the user's chest. Of course, received ECG wouldn't be as comprehensive as a full electrocardiogram but it could be helpful while arrhythmia or other heart pattern issues monitoring.

My idea is to provide cell phones with a functionality to read and record weather data such as temperature, humidity, air pressure and wind speed. This functionality will help us to gather more accurate data then any weather station could offer.

Why not develop a smartphone app which will work with metal detectors to help the hunt for unexploded land mines? The app will be able to detect and draw the outline of the buried land mine. The app will work with existing metal detectors, and provide a more exact visual of the shape and size of the mine. This will allow the minesweepers to differentiate mines from cans, wires, and other debris.

A new LED technology will be paired with a smart phone app to help customers find specific items while shopping. The technology will involve the use of radio frequency tags that will be applied to the merchandise. Upon entering the store, the customer will use a public computer or their own smart phone to pinpoint the location of the object, which the system will able to determine by reading the flicker rate of the overhead LED lights. This flicker system will allow the tags...

Why not create an application which will use camera equipped dashboard mounted mobile devices to let drivers know the best speed to maintain in order to avoid traffic lights? The application will collect traffic signal data as the car moves about and then will feed it back to a central system, which will allow a larger image of the traffic flow to be created. This information could then be used to tell the driver how quickly they are approaching the traffic signal as well as where...

A new food translation application will be quicker and more accurate than existing similar applications while taking up less memory space. Users will download the region specific apps to their mobile devices, eliminating the need for an internet connection. The application will go beyond simply a literal translation of the name of the dish and also provide an image of the dish and a list of its ingredients. People with food allergies will be able to program the app to signal a...

The idea is to create a device that will use suction to attach to a variety of mobile devices and secure them to a flat surface. The device will be made up of two locking suction cups connected by a ball joint. The suctions cups will be to create a strong bond, able to last several weeks, and the angle of the device will be changed by adjusting the ball joint.

The idea is to combine a facial recognition system with a hand gesture recognition system, which could allow users to control their devices more naturally. The technology will use a previously recorded image to recognize the shape, motion and position of the user's hand, and will be able to detect vertical and horizontal hand motions as well as a variety of hand and finger shapes. A wave of the hand will access the system, and it can also be automatically triggered by analyzing the...
