Patent ID: 8243040

Claim:
A user interface of a water delivery system, the user interface comprising: a cover having an exterior surface and an interior surface; a capacitive sensor positioned adjacent the interior surface of the cover, the capacitive sensor including a rigid base member having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface, the side surface positioned adjacent the interior surface of the cover and at least two spaced apart conductors positioned proximate the side surface of the rigid base member; and a controller operatively coupled to the capacitive sensor, the controller being configured to determine a location of a user's finger proximate the exterior surface of cover relative to the at least two spaced apart conductors positioned proximate the side surface of the capacitive sensor, the controller configured to control one of a temperature of water provided by the water delivery system and a flow rate of water provided by the water delivery system based on the location of the user's finger relative to the side surface of the capacitive sensor.
