摘要 |
The present invention relates to sensory feedback for non-contact electrical switching systems. Such systems may be used in conventional electrical circuits or in traditionally non-electrical switching systems, such as faucets. The non-contact electrical switching mechanism includes a motion sensor to detect motion for the purpose of changing between an on and an off state. The sensory feedback system is physically disposed on the non-contact electrical switching mechanism in proximity to the motion sensor and is configured to transmit sensory data corresponding to the current state of the non-contact switching mechanism. Sensory data is data which is received by one or more of the five human senses. The sensory data may include continuous, responsive, and/or synchronized sensory feedback. It will be appreciated that teachings of the present invention may be applied to other forms of human interface non-contact switching mechanisms such as those responding and/or detecting human generated sound, thoughts, etc.
