The idea of Commo Neo started at
Old Dominion University in the
Spring 2005 semester of CS410. The
core team members are Clinton
Winfrey, Greg Turner, Daniel
Allen, Jeremy Hoesly, Mike
Heidrick and Shane Tyner.
The name “Commo Neo” derives from
a Latin name which means to
recollect. The original name of
our project was “Left Behind
Sensor.” Over time, we decided to
change our name to something that
is unique and stands out.
Our product will deliver to our
customer a solution that will
solve the problem of accidentally
leaving things behind. Although
this isn’t a solve all solution,
we plan on relieving some of the
stress from the user.
Our main area of
production/research resides in Old
Dominion University in Norfolk,
Virginia. We plan on working along
side with the university to
provide a quality product to our
customers.
The main focus of our product is
to incorporate current
technologies with a new idea. Our
core technology is Bluetooth and
it will power and run our product.
At first we were debating over the
idea of Bluetooth or RFID. After
much thought and research, we have
arrived to using Bluetooth
technology. We believe that with
Bluetooth we will be able to build
a complete product for our
customers that will satisfy all of
our objectives. With this
Bluetooth technology we decided
that we will provide it to the
customer in a small size machine
that will either attach to the
cell phone, belt, necklace, watch,
or other areas of interest.
Although we are still researching
on the exact product we want, we
know that our customer will have a
product that can be concealed and
easily carried on the body such
that it won’t become lost or a
hassle to maintain.
As of now, we are in Phase 0 of
our SBIR funding plans. We plan to
work with NSF to gain funding for
our project. It is our current
objective to bring this product
out within the next five years.
