Abstract

A single-button control method of an induction actuated container, wherein the method comprises the steps of activating the control system of the container to enable the IR sensor operate in a normally-detecting state; detecting an object within a detecting area of the IR sensor; actuating, in responsive to a click of the control button, the cover panel to move to its opened position, when the control system is in the power-on state and the cover panel is in the closed position; normally retaining, in responsive to a click of the control button, the cover panel in the opened position, when the cover panel is moved to its opened position in responsive to an object detection; and actuating, in responsive to a click of the control button, the cover panel to move to its closed position, when the cover panel is in the normally-opened position.
