E-ink touchscreen visualizer for home av system

An interface method, comprising:

• driving an array of interface modules detachably coupled to a main unit to present an image across the array of interface modules based upon output characteristics of media files that the main unit can cause to be output at an output unit;
• generating a signal upon a user's engagement with an interface module;
• updating the image presented across the array of interface modules based, at least in part, upon the signal generated upon the user's engagement with at least one interface module of the array of interface modules;
• and
• wherein the each interface module in the array of interface modules is further adapted to be detached from the main unit and retain an image it was previously driven to present.

A method of fabricating an interface apparatus, comprising:

• providing a main unit adapted to cause media files to be output to an output unit;
• providing an array of interface modules detachably coupled to the main unit, the array of interface modules adapted to present an image to a user, wherein the step of providing the array of interface modules comprises providing each interface module in the array of interface modules being engageable by the user and generating a signal when engaged by the user;
• and
• providing a driver circuitry adapted to drive the array of interface modules to present an image to the user based at least in part upon the signal generated by a user's engagement with at least one interface module of the array of interface modules;
• wherein the each interface module in the array of interface modules is further adapted to be detached from the main unit and retain an image it was previously driven by the driver circuitry to present.
