Default Unlock Phone with Bluetooth Headset

Hi,

I can see application on PCs where you can unlock it by having an identified paired device next to it.
I'm looking for similar for unlocking the phone: the idea is that if I have my bluetooth headphone with me then there is no need to unlock the phone (since I'm around), and if not, then the pattern or code is required.
Of course if somebody stole my headphone and my phone... it will get bad.

Anybody as seen or used a similar app ?

thanks,
Damien

Try Tasker. Create a State bluetooth profile. You'll need Secure Settings from the market that works in conjunction with Tasker.
