The present invention is a hand held portable remote such as a key fob that allows a user to interact with the security system using a flat panel touch-pad. The touch-pad input allows a user to rapidly select and control a large number of security functions, such as Arm, Disarm, Panic, garage door open, lamp on / off, and lamp dimming control, etc. The security device comprises a housing, a wireless communication port for interface with the security system, a touch-pad input device, and processing circuitry. In order to operate the security device, the user generates a user input by creating a contact motion on the touch-pad input device with a fingertip. The contact motion may consist of a swiping motion, a tapping, or a circular motion. In order to distinguish the contact motion clearly, when the fingertip contact comprises a wider than normal contact, it causes the processing circuitry to not generate an output signal. The security device also comprises an LCD display for displaying alpha numeric control options to a user and LED indicators for indicating the modes of the processing circuitry.

Embodiments of the present invention provide various approaches for mobile device intercommunication (e.g., digital) as well as various authentication methods. In one embodiment, the present invention provides direct line-of-sight visual digital communication between mobile devices for controlled security. In another embodiment, the present invention provides direct contact motion-based digital communication between mobile devices for controlled security. Embodiments of the present invention also provide various authentication methods. One such example relates to secure authentication code exchange with subsequent digital communications in one or more channels. In another example, human-readable information is used along machine-readable digital codes (e.g., quick response (QR) codes to verify visual codes. Still yet, embodiments of the present invention provide non-obtrusive visual codes that maintain a user's access to a mobile device screen.

A massager has a motor with a motor shaft extending out from opposite ends of the motor, a pair of linkages each rotatably and eccentrically connected to opposite ends of the motor shaft, a bridge securely attached to the linkages with a pair of flexible arms and a pair of massage nodes securely mounted on the bridge. The bridge is pivotal relative to the housing so that the movement of the linkages caused by the rotation of the motor shaft drives the massage nodes on opposite sides of the bridge to pivotally reciprocate laterally, providing a rubbing massage effect.

The present disclosure relates to screenreader techniques and volume control techniques for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device displays a plurality of user interface objects in an ordered progression. A rotation of a rotary input mechanism is detected. In response to the rotation of the rotary input mechanism, if a rotary screenreader navigation mode is activated, a visual highlight is displayed and an auditory output is produced. In some embodiments, a device has a volume setting. A gesture is detected, and a volume adjustment mode is activated. The gesture ends with a contact being maintained, and the volume setting is adjusted in accordance with detected movement of the contact.

A motion gesture sensing module according to the present invention comprises a light sensor unit having at least two or more photo detectors for detecting light reflected from a subject and a light source that emits light, and by putting an optical block in a light receiving path of the light sensor unit so as to separate the detectable area of each light detector, the motion gesture sensing module can distinguish the motion or gesture of the subject based on an output of the light sensor unit. A motion gesture sensing method according to the present invention is a non-contact motion sensing method which enables light emitted from the light source and light reflected by the subject to be received through at least two or more light detectors and enables the motion of the subject to be distinguished by comparing the output value of each light detector, wherein the detectable area of the light detector is separated and the light reflected by the subject is received to sense the motion of the subject. The present invention provides a motion gesture sensing module of low cost, low electric power and a subminiature size. Additionally, the motion gesture sensing module and the sensing method according to the present invention can sense the relative motion or gesture of the subject, sense a space touching function such as clicking a mouse, and distinguish whether the subject is close, thereby being capable of implementing all functions that existing proximity sensors have, including proximity sensing, reading mode, and power saving functions.
