Abstract: An education system comprising a plurality of automation devices, a tablet computer and a data service center for programming, wherein the tablet computer is used to integrate drag-and-drop visual programming language and the plurality of automation devices to turn them into robotics and computer language educational tool; the data service center is used to provide data service support.

Abstract: The invention, in one embodiment, is directed to a controller apparatus for controlling an electronic device by sensing and processing a user's interactions with an object and, particularly, for controlling and interacting with a media guidance application implemented on an interactive user equipment device. The controller apparatus may include a platform, a liquid container, and a stirring rod. The platform may include sensors of various kinds for detecting a user's interactions with any one of the components of the user interface system. The controller apparatus may also include sensors for sensing environmental conditions and use the sensed conditions to interact with the media guidance application or any other applications or electronic devices.
