Abstract: An infrared-based gesture ordering apparatus with an infrared sensing unit comprising at least four infrared (IR) sensors, each with an independent infrared emitter and receiver, the sensing unit having an output, a processing unit that receives the IR sensing unit outputs, and a microprocessor that receives the processing unit output, where the microprocessor has an output that connects by USB or wireless to an order server that has a display device.

Abstract: A miniature, wearable, kitchen ordering apparatus having a wearable bracket, a control box coupled to the bracket, a circuit board in the control box, a display output port, wireless communications unit, data processing unit, voice analyzer unit, and an audio pickup module, all operably connected to the circuit board. The output terminal of the audio pickup module is operably connected to the voice analyzer unit input terminal, the output terminal from the voice analyzer unit connects to the data processing unit input terminal, the digital communications port on the data processing unit connects to the wireless communications unit, and the data processing unit display interface connects to the display output port, which in turn connects to a flexible display panel installed on the wearable bracket. There is a battery connected to the data processing unit.

Abstract: An interactive control system and method, comprising providing a client program on a handheld or portable electronic device employing a wireless mode to obtain data from a cloud server, establishing a wireless data connection between the handheld or portable electronic device and an accessory device, using the wireless connection to establish direct communication between the handheld or portable electronic device and the accessory device, and then using the wireless connection for the handheld or portable electronic device to then transfer data previously obtained from the cloud server to the accessory device.
