Cell Phones - how can a phone call trigger a system?
Hi
I'd like to use a cell phone to trigger the start of an electrical event in my system.
Is there a circuit board type component for phone calls, or must I connect a pay per call inexpensive phone from Best Buy?
Can the ring tone generate an electric signal / sound in the 1/8 inch sound port, to initiate the other elements? When cells are rung, do they automatically send signal to the sound output?
Thanks

I think I might simplify my overall needs by creating a proximity detection system. Can an app detect when one has walked 10 ft away from a home point, and maybe run a neural net to analyze x,y land-based position changes? Can an app run as a Thread in the background, without having to open it up? to do this?
Is this a different question? The above answer was v.good!
