Abstract
A wirelessly enabled content delivery apparatus includes a surface. The surface has a front side and a back side. An electronics board has a through hole. A conductive touch pad layer is placed between the back side of the surface and the electronics board. The electronics board further includes a conductive element. The conductive element passes through the through hole. A wireless data module is part of a wireless data system. The wireless data system is attached to the electronics board and the wireless data module is electrically connected to a first end of the conductive element. The electronics board is coupled to the back side of the surface and is aligned so that a second end of the conductive element is in electrical contact with the touch pad layer. The wireless data module is configured to receive a control input when a user touches the front side of the surface in the vicinity of the touch pad wherein the touch pad and the conductive element are part of the control circuit which controls the wireless data system. A method includes creating a touch pad from a conductive layer of material. A through hole of an electronics board is positioned to align with the touch pad. A spring pin is inserted into the through hole of the electronics board. The electronics board contains a wireless data module, and a first end of the spring pin is electrically connected to the wireless data module. The touch pad is located onto a back side of a surface. The electronics board is attached to the back side of the surface wherein a second end of the spring pin makes electrical contact with the touch pad such that when a user touches a front side of the surface a control signal is sent to the wireless data module.
