WALL COVERING ELEMENT WITH DETECTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An operating theater comprising an at least partly transparent, planar covering element (2), equipped with a detection system (1) that detects a presence or characterization of an object or a substance, the covering element (2) is attached in front of, or on, a wall substrate of a wall of a building, substantially over a whole area thereof, and the detection system (1) operates according to a “
- projected capacitive touchscreen”
principle and is provided adjacent to the transparent, planar covering element (2), situated on a rear side as seen from the observer, and in front of, or in, the wall substrate with the covering element (2).

Abstract
At least partially transparent sheet-like covering element (2) provided with a detection system for the presence and/or characterization of an object or a material and associated further embodiments of the invention. The covering element is characterized in that it is fitted in front of or to the wall substrate of a wall of a building, substantially over the entire surface thereof, and the detection system (operating element, “touch panel”) operates according to the “projected capacitive touchscreen” principle and is provided or implemented such that it rests against the transparent sheet-like covering element on the rear side (wall side), as seen by the observer, and is provided or implemented in front of or in the wall substrate having the covering element. Uses are, for example, the control of devices and functions in operating theatres or other rooms.

14. The method of using a detection system (1) operating according to a “
- projected capacitive touchscreen”
principle, comprising placing an operating element with the detection system, in front of or in a wall substrate and behind a transparent covering element (2) for keeping an unobjectionable hygienic state of surfaces, and carrying out control functions for medical appliances and devices, said functions need not be directly accessible from the operating site, including functions of the room selected from at least one of illumination regulation, ventilation regulation, or temperature regulation, which occur during surgery or just before or thereafter.
