Abstract

L'invention concerne une interface utilisateur convenant particulièrement à un système domotique. Cette interface combine les avantages d'un écran tactile classique (tels que souplesse d'utilisation et implantation précise des touches) à ceux d'un clavier mécanique classique (tel que coût réduit et sensation de déclic). L'interface s'utilise facilement sur n'importe quelle surface de paroi et peut être facilement reconfigurée si nécessaire de sorte qu'elle puisse prendre en charge un hôte de fonctions système. L'interface utilise un affichage à cristaux liquides à éclairage arrière, séparé en sections d'affichages distinctes possédant chacune une lentille durable et résistant aux rayures. Des interrupteurs en porte-à-faux associés à chaque affichage sont utilisés pour détecter la sélection par l'utilisateur d'une option affichée.
