Abstract:
1. A floor mat system ( 100 ) for effective interaction with a user, wherein the system ( 100 ) comprises: (a) a mat base ( (b) a microprocessor ( (c) a pressure sensor ( wherein the pressure sensor ( 140 ) comprises a linear pressure sensor first strip ( 141 ) disposed in the mat base ( 110 ) proximal to and parallel with the mat first edge ( 111 ), wherein the pressure sensor ( 140 ) comprises a linear pressure sensor second strip ( 142 ) disposed in the mat base ( 110 ), wherein the pressure sensor second strip ( 142 ) has a first end disposed proximal to an intersection of the mat first edge ( 111 ) and the mat anterior edge ( 114 ) and a second terminating end disposed proximal to an intersection of the mat second edge ( 112 ) and the mat posterior edge ( 113 ), wherein the pressure sensor second strip ( 142 ) traverses the mat base ( 110 ) diagonally, wherein the pressure sensor ( 140 ) comprises a linear pressure sensor third strip ( 143 ) disposed proximal to and parallel with the mat anterior edge ( 114 ), wherein the pressure sensor first strip ( 141 ), the pressure sensor second strip ( 142 ), and the pressure sensor third strip ( 143 ) intersect and operatively connect at a point proximal to the intersection of the mat first edge ( 111 ) and the mat anterior edge ( 114 ); and (d) a transmitter ( wherein when the user places the foot upon the mat top surface ( 115 ), the system ( 100 ) is activated via the pressure sensor ( 140 ) sending a first activation signal to the microprocessor ( 120 ), wherein upon receiving the first activation signal, the microprocessor sends a second activation signal to the transmitter ( 150 ), wherein upon receiving the second activation signal, the transmitter sends a third wireless activation signal to the remote receiver ( 160 ), wherein upon receiving the third wireless activation signal, the remote receiver ( 160 ) sends a fourth signal to activate an appliance.
