Go to the site below to read about it please: Go to Quirky.com and vote YES to the Remote Control Door Opener. I submitted my, well thought out, idea for an invention and voting has started for whether it is a good or bad idea. Voting ends in 6 days. Please let all your friends know about this as they will help develop the product, get it manufactured, get the patent, etc. I will make a certain percentage from all sales, if the majority think it is a good idea. https://www.quirky.com/invent/1012647/action/vote/query/sort=trending&categories=all https://www.facebook.com/quirky Thank you, Sherry
What if you dont want to have all your doors open at once? How will you program that? Every door will have to have a separate "opener" with its own unique code and that code programed into the smart phone app. I imagine the "opener" will be similar to a magnetic lock similar to the types people use when they someone buzzes at the door and they push a button to release the magnetic lock so they can come in (ie: Seinfeld when George or Elaine always buzzed to get in). However this sounds as if it will require a smart phone for the app and not all seniors have smart phones. This also requires you to have your phone on you all the time to open the doors. Makes sense if you are 20 years old as they have their phone on them at all times but as you get older (at least for me) its not in my possession at all times. Not a bad idea though.
First of all, they already have keyless door openers for door locks, similar to the ones for your car. And you can already open your door with your smartphone. Schlage has been doing this for almost 2 years now. http://www.lowes.com/ContentDisplay...39199&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&storeId=10151 Second, if you are talking about physically opening the door and not just unlocking it, they have that for businesses already. They use maglocks to keep the door locked, when the power to the magnet goes off, the door is open, you can just push on the door to open it, or have a servo open the door. Plenty of places I have worked before have this setup.
The app could have different radio signals for each door. If not using a phone app, one would have something similar to a garage door opener with different radio signals for each door. This opener is unique as it would unlock AND open the door, then close and lock the door after the button is pushed again. Thus seniors, young people, disabled, etc. could either use a smart phone or something similar to a garage door opener. Each door installed with this device would have an on/off button on the door device, which would enable the system to be used or not. All done with batteries so if the electricity goes off a person does not have a problem. I am hoping to license it to door manufacturers and see this manufactured in all future doors, especially for homes/apartments. Sherry
Keep dreaming moonbat! Sounds like you are well on your way to a $10,000 door that no one will buy except for the government! Perhaps you can sell it to Medicaid or get health insurance to pay for it like the scooter people. People just keep getting dumber and lazier daily it seems!
Geez...what a jerk. Regardless if the idea is good or bad or potentially not viable, keep your mouth shut! If you can sit back and call an elderly person who cannot get to the door in order to let her nurse in, dumb and lazy then there is a special place in hell for you (if you believe in that sort of thing).
This wasn't a political thread and your post is.............unkind. If you don't have anything nice to say....................
We are all entitled to our own opinions! Causes me no great concern when someone disagrees with one of mine.
From your description, I assume what you mean is this - http://www.power-access.com/ These have been around for nearly four decades now. http://www.smarthome.com/73105/Skylink-DM-150-Swing-Door-Opener-with-Electric-Strike/p.aspx http://www.opensesamedoor.com/ http://www.yatesandfelts.com/products/lcn-products/automatic-door-operators/
Thank you for your links. I have reviewed these in the past and each of these is bulky, some are not manufactured with the door (are assembly pieces) and none have smart phone apps. The one I have invented is built into a door, no bulky portion sticking out and can be used with a remote device; either a remote control or smart phone. I hope that helps in seeing the difference in my design and what is out on the market. Sherry
Maybe Quirky should invent a website that doesn't require a 'sign up' to read the FAQ's on their site? That has to be the most evasive 'info' site I've been to in years!! Take your idea to Kickstarter.com where they let people see your idea and fund it for you without signing into a data mining machine.
Thank you. I never heard of kickstarter, but will certainly check them out. Very nice of you to let me know about this site. Sherry
It has nothing to do with politics on this side of the forum, in my opinion. He gave me a link to a different organization, which I knew nothing about, that I thought was nice. I really can separate items in my life. I enjoy the heck out of rock and roll and politics, but don't need to discuss them in every conversation. Sherry
