Touch sensitive control system for non-electronic display substrate surfaces

A touch sensitive liquid coating system comprising a liquid coating configured to be applied to a non-electronic display substrate surface in liquid form, the non-electronic display substrate surface including any one of walls, floors, ceilings, doors, cabinetry, furniture or vehicles, the touch sensitive liquid coating system comprising:

• at least one electrically active layer formed by the liquid coating when applied to the non-electronic display substrate surface and having:
• a resistive property (resistance);
• and
• an electronic controller;
• wherein the at least one electrically active layer is configured to have an electrical connection with the electronic controller;
• and
• wherein the electronic controller is configured to detect a differentiated touch on the non-electronic display substrate surface, that disrupts the resistive property of the at least one electrically active layer and which is detected by the electronic controller to provide a control signal to actively control an electrical device,
• wherein the controller is further configured to dismiss false touch being:
• a non-intentional touch as could be generated by a person or object brushing against the substrate surface;
• a person or object leaning against the substrate surface;
• electrical noise sources;
• or
• random noises by dismissing any single touch:
• below a predetermined duration,
• below a predetermined measure of disruption of the resistive property, or
• by filtering out the noise associated with a slow increase or decrease of the resistive property, and
• wherein the differentiated touch is selected from:
• one or more of multiple sequential touches,
• one or more touches of extended duration, or
• a combination thereof,
• wherein the at least one electrically active layer comprises an active material,
• wherein the active material is present at a level exceeding the percolation threshold for the at least one electrically active layer where the percolation threshold denotes the lower limit of conductivity for a particular active material in an active layer, and
• wherein the active material is present in the at least one electrically active layer in the range of from about 1% w/w to about 30% w/w of the at least one electrically active layer.
