The control module receives a quick signal, provides power enabling the processing module, an event code corresponding to the quick signal is then transferred to the processing module. The processing module compares the received event code to the event table to locate a corresponding item, and drives the device recorded as the corresponding item and executes the associated application also recorded in the event table.
