2. A system, comprising:
-
an input device produces an output which activates the system; a decoder buffers an active state of the input device derived from the output; a processor enables the decoder based on the state of the input device, and compares a current state of the decoder to a previous state of the input device to validate a state change, the input device stored in an array by the processor; and a processor array decodes and associates the validated state change with at least one predefined function. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
