Abstract
Method consisting in allowing a ritual gesture similar to that used to light a non-lit candle with a lit candle, the method using a system including at least two optical units for the ritual-gestural control of the sending/receiving commands between devices, the commands being turning on, turning off and the like, the devices being provided with at least the optical units.
Claims21
