Abstract:
1. A control indication assembly comprising: a first control mounted on a surface of a computer, said first control coupled to a first sensor, to a first sensing circuit to send an electrical signal to said first control when a user-touch occurs to said first sensor, and to a first indicator to indicate an occurrence of said user-touch; a second control mounted on a surface of a display, said display coupled to said computer, said second control coupled to a second sensor, to a second sensing circuit to send an electrical signal to said second control when said user-touch occurs to said display, and to a second indicator to indicate an occurrence of said user-touch; and said first control and said second control are configured such that said first indicator and said second indicator are synchronized to exhibit identical behaviors when said user-touch occurs to at least one of said first control and said second control; wherein said first control further including a first electrical switch to change said computer system from one state to another state and wherein said second control further including a second electrical switch to change said display from a one state to another second state wherein said first electrical switch and said second electrical switch change both said computer system and said display from one state to another state when a user-touch occurs to one of said first sensor and said second sensor; wherein a state of said computer system and said display is at least one of a run mode, a sleep mode and a shutdown-mode; and wherein said first indicator and said second indicator exhibit short flashes of bright intensities and fade to dimmer intensities when said user-touch occurs to one of said first sensor and said second sensor.
