There are people who have already done this and this  and it works using bluetooth.


The simplest way for you to try it out is using a bluetooth enabled PC and a sony ericsson (Others should also work. 
Though a bit of work might be required) bluetooth enabled mobile phone that users owns.


What you will need is:

1) A PC/Laptop

2) Bluetooth connectivity (Native or via a dongle)

3) A bluetooth enable mobile phone (Preferably Sony Ericsson)

4) FMA (Float's Mobile Agent). Its an open source tool that gives you many more features along with the workstation 
locking/unlocking based on user proximity to the device.


Happy Locking/Unlocking
