Publication number: 20230195239Abstract: A controlling device has a moveable touch sensitive panel positioned above a plurality of switches. When the controlling device senses an activation of at least one of the plurality of switches when caused by a movement of the touch sensitive panel resulting from an input at an input location upon the touch sensitive surface, the controlling device responds by transmitting a signal to an appliance wherein the signal is reflective of the input location upon the touch sensitive surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Arsham Hatambeiki, Jeffrey Kohanek, Pamela Eichler Keiles

Patent number: 9582989Abstract: A hand-held device has a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, at least one transmitter, a first user interface associated with the top surface of the housing having first user interface input elements which, when active, are actuatable to cause the at least one transmitter to transmit communications to an external device, and a second user interface associated with the bottom surface of the housing having second user interface input elements which, when active, are actuatable to cause the at least one transmitter to transmit communications to an external device. The hand-held device is programmed to selectively make one of the first user interface input elements of the first user interface and the second user interface input elements of the second user interface active while making the other of the first user interface input elements of the first user interface and the second user interface input elements of the second user interface inactive.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Arsham Hatambeiki, Jeffrey Kohanek, Pamela Eichler Keiles, Ramzi Ammari
