 TALKING KEYS

Key chain will be in wireless connection with our smart phones and when
our keys get misplaced , an option available on our mobile will allow us to
find them. As soon as we click search button on our phone the keychain
will start making noise.
 FLOURESCENCE

The problem of finding keys in darkness can be

solved using glow in the dark luminescenc.
 HAND IN GLOVE

We can make such moulds in the key holder where a particular key will fit in the
fixed place (i.e. fixed mould). Therefore, every key will have its unique mould.
The same mould will be made on the wallet and when the key isn’t placed in its
mould it will start emitting light and make a beeping sound.
 MAGNETIC KEY HOLDER

A magnetic key holder can be used to hold the keys and the same can be attached
to the wallet.
