I saw this in New Scientist. Apparently it's been filed by the HP labs in Bristol.

An example of the system is a camera in a phone headset, which talks to a device (PDA) via BT, which then interrogates a Db either on itself or via a phone/wireless link to a bigger machine at some location (obviously if used in an office for customers, the PDA bit could be missed out - though it may be missed out anyway, at first).

Could it work? Will it ever take off? Interesting, anyway.
