20140253483 | Wall-Mounted Multi-Touch Electronic Lighting- Control Device with Capability to Control Additional Networked Devices - An in-wall, touch-actuated electronic control device makes use of gesture motions. A touch sensor permits a user to input control commands through the use of one or more one- or two-dimensional gestures such as one- or two-fingered tapping; swiping; tracing; pinching; and zooming, allowing for a significant increase in the potential number of network endpoints that can be controlled from, and also in the number of control signals that can be generated by, a single touch-control device. The touch-control device may include both a direct load controller such as a light switch or dimmer as well as a network connection to allow control of networked devices, either on a local network (for example a home WiFi network) or, for example, Web applications hosted on a remote server. | 09-11-2014 |
