A project log for Electronic CV

Yet another overly engineered business card, that probably I would never give a way, because it is too expensive.

Hey everyone, 

In this log I want to talk about what the eCV would be able to do.

Before we start we need to set things up. The device has a NOR Flash. Any reading, writing or logging would be done on it. The different screens, that are displayed on the device I also regard as pages. There are two buttons on board. The one I call top button is the one near the USB and the other one as bottom. 

1. The main porpoise is to show your professional path. The default page of your CV would be more or less your business card: name, current position and some contact info. 

2. When you click on the bottom button you will go through the pages of the CV. I imagine people would start with their education, go through their working experience and end with their qualifications. This would be absolutely customizable. I would add a timeout. If there are no inputs it will go back to the default page. 

3. The first page to be displayed when clicking the top button will be a calendar and a clock. The external RTC will come in play here. It is super accurate and will be able to keep the time quite well.  There will be a alarms/reminders. Users can set those. For example a holiday or a birthday. 

4. Next screen will be the environment data collected from the sensor. That would be air pressure, temperature, humidity and air quality. I plan to make a log with this data. 

5. The last page would be so called "Quote of the day". I have made a file with quotes from around the world and there will be a different one displayed everyday on this page. 

6. When you keep the two buttons press, the card will go into Bluetooth mode. This way you can connect with your phone and through the app upload or remove pages from the CV, get the logged data or set an alarm. 

7. I can see a use of this card as a smart sign on a meeting room for example. The BT 5.2 allows for a mesh networking, to send info.

What other use can you think of about the card?  Please, let me know in the comments.

Cheers,
Mitko
