Maybe to implement these ideas in general: - take idea of shortcut in general as some functional aspect of the phone - define these with time or position data to make a cue, to allow timed and/or position based trigger of the shortcuts
If the phone's shortcuts could be triggered via a straightforward sdk call then these features could be implemented on top of system service daemons like crond. Maybe there is a similar daemon to crond that resonds to the GPS coordinates already for linux? If not, not hard to make with easy coordinate info access. These could execute a command-line binary which calls the SDK to trigger a shortcut, with a number as an argument to identify the shortcut id. Of course, I don't know if the SDK would even cover something like shortcuts. Shortcuts could be things like dialing a number, changing to a mode (loud/silent/forwarding/no call waiting), changing to a service provider, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Oberg Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 2:15 PM To: Stefan Schmidt Cc: community@lists.openmoko.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Silent mode timeout -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Stefan Schmidt wrote: > Hello. > > I cc openmoko-devel for interested developer. > > > On Mon, 2007-01-29 at 09:30, Ben Burdette wrote: >> A simple feature that I'd like to see is a silent mode timeout.

I was thinking the same thing for 'The baby room', etc. However, we might want to be a little careful with the manager that switches profiles. e.g. In 'airplane' mode, it shouldn't switch to 'silent with radio on' when your flight path goes near your home:) I suppose that the gps shouldn't be on either in airplane mode, but I hope it illustrates the point. In summary, I think that the profile manager should be able to have sticky profiles or the ability to veto requests by the gps auto-profile switcher/deamon to change profiles.
