allow people to pay their bills with the devices, but now another innovation could be set to see the ubiquitous cell phone replace yet another mainstay \u2013 the humble key.<br>\nEverything from car to garage to home and office and hotel doors could be soon be able to opened via the SmartPhone, which sends a signal via the internet and a converter box to the door.&nbsp; Due to the pervasive nature of the cell phone in the 21st century, industry insiders are betting that the new technology will soon have widespread acceptance.<br>\nLock making company Schlage already has a system available that enables cell phone users to open their doors from miles away, and even control their household functions such as air conditioning, heating, security cameras and lights.&nbsp; The vice president of connected home solutions for Ingersoll Rand, Dwight Gibson, recently used the system to allow a friend access to his home even though he was at work.&nbsp; \u201cShe thought it was
