Abstract
An opt-out actuator for which actuation is cancelled if the operator changes his or her state within a prescribed amount of time. The operator is informed of 'entering' the conditions for actuation by a first sensory means. After an optional grace period to lower the incidence of accidentally and temporarily meeting these conditions, the operator is informed of the 'cocking' of the actuator by a second sensory means. The operator then has a longer period in which to opt-out of the actuator by changing his or her state. If the operator does not opt out by changing state, the actuator fires and the operator is informed by a third sensory means. If the operator opts out, the operator is informed of this 'canceling' by a fourth sensory means which could be the reversion of continuous sensory feedback to its state prior to the triggering of the actuator and which serves as confirmation to the operator that actuation has been cancelled.
