Abstract:
A touch sensor for controlling intensity of lighting electrically connected thereto, the touch sensor including a touch sensor interface for detecting a touch of a user, a power supply connected to the touch sensor for controlling the intensity of the lighting, and a backlight behind the touch sensor interface, and including a plurality of light sources for illuminating different portions of the touch sensor interface.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of controlling a touch sensor comprising a backlit touch sensor interface for detecting a touch of a user, the method comprising\n detecting the touch of the user; determining a location of the touch on the touch sensor interface; determining an amount of time for which the touch occurs; determining the touch as a tap when the determined amount of time is less than a reference amount of time; turning lighting electrically connected to the touch sensor from on to off or from off to on when the touch is determined to be the tap; determining whether the lighting is on or off; turning on backlighting of the touch sensor interface when it is determined that the lighting is off; turning on a portion of the backlighting in an area of the touch sensor interface corresponding to the touch when the touch is determined to not be the tap; and performing a dimming operation of the lighting when the touch is determined to not be the tap.
