Abstract
A saturation profile is defined in a processor as saturation across at least a substantial portion a sensor's field of view of a sensor. A saturation response is defined in the processor, including an executable instruction. The input is sensed with a sensor and communicated to the processor, and compared to the saturation profile. If the input satisfies the saturation profile, the saturation response is executed. Saturation may include maximum sensor values, minimum sensor values, invalid sensor values, error sensor values, a uniform sensor values, and/or other uninformative or “null data” input, as valid input for system commands, etc.
