USER INTERFACE DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CONSUMER LOAD AND LIGHTING SYSTEM USING SAID USER INTERFACE DEVICE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H05B33/08 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a user interface device for controlling an electrical consumer, particularly a lighting system. The invention further relates to a lighting system using said user interface device. To provide a user interface device for controlling a lighting system which can be easily controlled and enable recognition of the selected presetting in all areas of a display device, the invention discloses a user interface device for controlling a consumer load which comprises: an input device; and a display device, the input device and the display device being arranged connected to each other in one common layer or in two layers respectively stacked on each other. The display device is adapted to display at least a first colour scale indicating a first range of values adjustable by a user input on the first colour scale and to display a first feedback indicator within the first colour scale indicating the current value of the first range of values output by the user interface device to a consumer load.

EFFECT: simple user interface adapted to recognise a selected setting.
