Ever thought of an application that will automatically lock your desktop when your leave and unlock the desktop when you come back. ? This has been made possible by BlueProximity, and application developed by Lars Friedrichs.
The application makes use of the bluetooth facility, which is a standard feature in almost all mobiles. Bluetooth radio has a unique hardware ID in every mobile phone. The application uses that ID to detect the mobile phone whose proximity will unlock the desktop and non presence will lock the desktop.
The project is an opensource project and the project pages are here
