PRAYER MAT WITH PRAYER MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An elongate prayer mat having a first end and a second end and further comprising:
- (a) a first tactile sensor disposed proximate to the first end, the first tactile sensor comprising means for perceiving that a user is standing upon the first tactile sensor and generating a first electrical signal;
(b) a second tactile sensor disposed proximate to the second end, the second tactile sensor comprising means for perceiving that a user is pressing upon the second tactile sensor and for generating a second electrical signal;
(c) a third tactile sensor disposed proximate to the second tactile sensor and between the second tactile sensor and the first tactile sensor, the third tactile sensor comprising means for perceiving that a user is pressing upon the third tactile sensor and for generating a third electrical signal;
(d) a fourth tactile sensor disposed to the right of the third tactile sensor, proximate to the second tactile sensor and between the second tactile sensor and the first tactile sensor, the fourth tactile sensor comprising means for perceiving that a user is pressing upon the fourth tactile sensor and for generating a fourth electrical signal;
(e) a top layer for concealing each of the tactile sensors; and
(f) a microprocessor for receiving the first, second, third and fourth electrical signals and, based upon those electrical signals, for displaying the progress of prayer steps on a display device, the microprocessor being programmed to alternatively display the steps of at least five different sets of prayer steps.
