LumenGlow™ virtual switch
First Claim
1. A method and apparatus for wireless operating a wireless appliance, the apparatus comprising:
- a human finger proximity for receiving a continuous stream of 3 dimensional (3D) gestures performed above the apparatus hot spot 300 receiver area;
a gesture processor DSP 230 that detected the human finger 310 3D hovering above hot spot 300 area.an operations processor 260 coupled to the gesture processor for identifying an appliance operation associated with the gesture, wherein the gesture is associated with a distinct operation of an appliance; and
a wireless capabilities 200 coupled to the operations processor for sending wireless command causing the appliance with wireless capabilities operation to be performed.

Abstract
An On-wall, virtual switch, hot spot actuated, electronic control device, makes use of multi point 3D proximity sensing of human finger. The virtual switchhot spot sensors permit a user to input control commands through the use of multi hot spot point proximity sensing over none sensing material as plastic, glasses, wood, marble etc. In such as one- or more fingershovering in front of the surface and hot spots below wake up the virtual switch. After wake up, several hot points can report and as tapping; swiping; tracing; rotating; pinching; and zooming, allowing for a significant increase the potential number of virtual switch commands that can be controlled from, and also in the number of control signals that can be generated by a single small area virtual switch device. The virtual switch device wireless transmits the command to group devices as lamps, wall power, door lock or any other devices that wirelessly connected to virtual switch group. The assign of the multi-point proximity sensing command to virtual switch command is done over smart phone or any computerized devices with same wirelessly capabilities and display. The virtual switch is very thin; battery powered and can be attached to any wall or surface. Any command that is recognized can be feed backed by a buzzer sound. And since it has no sparked contact it can be placed also in hazardous places that encounter electrical shortage caused by water or explosion by gas leakages. Many virtual switches can control the same devices in parallel.
