CA 2205306

Described is a user interface particularly suited for use in a home automation system. This interface combines advantages of a conventional touch screen (such as ease of use and accurate "key" placement) with the advantages of a conventional mechanical keypad (such as reduced cost and tactile feedback). The interface is well suited for use on any wallspace and may be easily reconfigured as necessary to support a host of system functions. The interface utilizes a backlit LCD separated into separate display sections (modules 15 and 17), each having a durable, scratch resistant lens (22). Cantilevered switches (14a to 14f) associated with each display are used to detect a user's selection of a displayed option.

L'invention concerne une interface utilisateur convenant particulièrement à un système domotique. Cette interface combine les avantages d'un écran tactile classique (tels que souplesse d'utilisation et implantation précise des touches) à ceux d'un clavier mécanique classique (tel que coût réduit et sensation de déclic). L'interface s'utilise facilement sur n'importe quelle surface de paroi et peut être facilement reconfigurée si nécessaire de sorte qu'elle puisse prendre en charge un hôte de fonctions système. L'interface utilise un affichage à cristaux liquides à éclairage arrière, séparé en sections d'affichages distinctes possédant chacune une lentille durable et résistant aux rayures. Des interrupteurs en porte-à-faux associés à chaque affichage sont utilisés pour détecter la sélection par l'utilisateur d'une option affichée.
