Abstract
A system including a control interface including a display panel and a processor, the display panel including a touch surface, an electronically non-conductive touch surface, and a plurality of touch areas having an array of electrically conductive rows and columns, which capacitivily couples to a conductive object, moving into close proximity to one of the conductive rows and columns, while being driven with an electrical charge, and the processor detecting the capacitive coupling of the conductive row to the conductive object, generating a signal and providing the signal wirelessly to one of an accessory and remote device, based on a first movement, followed by a second movement when a pattern or sequence has been detected, remotely communicating to a wireless device using a transceiver associated with the processor, and controlling at least one of the remote accessories in accordance with an output command from the wireless device.
