Patent Images
1. A sensory prompted interface device using a time domain multiple selection protocol for operating an electric product, the interface device comprising:
- a processor and cooperating memory,a sensory broadcaster cooperating with said processor, said sensory broadcaster adapted to broadcast a sequenced series of sensory prompts,a binary state sensor for receiving only a binary input from a user, said binary input for binary biasing of said binary state sensor in response to a prompt of said series of sensory 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.

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

8. A sensory prompted interface method using a time domain multiple selection protocol for operating an electric product, the interface method comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing a processor and cooperating memory, b) providing a sensory broadcaster cooperating with said processor, wherein said sensory broadcaster is adapted to broadcast a sequenced series of sensory prompts, c) providing a binary state sensor adapted to only receive a binary input from a user, said binary input for binary biasing of said binary state sensor in response to a prompt of said series of sensory prompts, d) prompting said user for said input, e) providing a timing reference cooperating with said processor and generating a sequential series of time domains, f) correlating in said processor said in put in said response to said prompt with a corresponding time domain within said sequential series of time domains, g) correlating in said processor said time domain with said prompt, and h) executing an action corresponding to said prompt according to said instruction set in said memory. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
