First Claim
Patent Images
1. An audio prompted interface device using a time domain multiple selection protocol for operating an electric product, the interface device comprising:
- a processor and cooperating memory,an audio broadcaster cooperating with said processor for audibly broadcasting a sequenced series of audible prompts,a binary state sensor for receiving input from a user, said input for biasing of said binary state sensor in response to a prompt of said series of audible prompts,a timing reference cooperating with said processor, said processor correlating said response to said prompt with a corresponding time domain within a sequential series of time domains,said processor correlating said time domain with said prompt and executing an action corresponding to said prompt according to an instruction set in said memory,wherein said binary state sensor is an input switch.

Abstract
An interface protocol for the functional manipulation of complex devices such as consumer electronic devices without the necessity of the visual feedback via textual or graphic data, wherein the sensor functions change with time rather than placement, so that a user action biases a binary state switch, which is correlated to a timed audible audio data stream, the correlation indicating the desired action selected by the user.
