  • Patent number: 6804539
    Abstract: An interface protocol for the functional manipulation of complex devices such as personal telecommunication devices without the necessity of the visual feedback via textual or graphic data, wherein the sensor functions change with time rather than placement, so that a user action biases a binary state switch, which is correlated to a timed audible audio data stream, the correlation indicating the desired action selected by the user. The device can be embedded in a product such as a plush toy without altering the external aesthetics of the product.
