  • Patent number: 7312695
    Abstract: A user interface for a load control device allows a user to control an operating characteristic of a load to a plurality of discrete levels. The user interface comprises an adjustment member for allowing the user to select one of the discrete levels and a linear array of status indicators for displaying the discrete level. The number of discrete levels is greater than the number of status indicators. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, either one status indicator or two consecutive status indicators are illuminated to indicate the presently selected discrete level. According to a second embodiment, a fully illuminated status indicator is surrounded by two dimly illuminated status indicators to indicate the presently selected discrete level. According to a third embodiment, a single status indicator may be illuminated to indicate one or more of the discrete levels.

  • Publication number: 20060272569
    Abstract: A user interface for a load control device comprising a plurality of status indicators allows a user to control an operating characteristic of a load to a plurality of discrete levels, where the number of discrete levels is greater than the number of status indicators. The user interface also includes an adjustment member for allowing the user to select one of the discrete levels of operating characteristics. The status indicators are arranged in a linear array and collectively designate the presently selected discrete level by illuminating one or more of the individual status indicators. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, either one status indicator or two consecutive status indicators are illuminated to indicate the presently selected discrete level.
