Claim 13:
14. An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via the processor and through a sensor in an armrest of a seat in an aircraft cabin, exclusively touchless gesture data from a user, wherein the touchless gesture data is a first and only data received from the user;
comparing, via the processor, the touchless gesture data to a predetermined gesture, the predetermined gesture being created by transitioning a hand from a first position to a second position, wherein if the first position is a closed fist, the second position is an open palm, and wherein if the first position is the open palm, the second position is the closed fist;
determining, via the processor, whether the touchless gesture data matches the predetermined gesture; and
commanding, via the processor, an electrically activated device to change from a first state to a second state.
