Embodiment Construction

[0035] Attached by reference Figures 1 to 10 to understand the exemplary embodiments of the invention and its potential advantages.

[0036] One or more embodiments described herein provide an apparatus for a user interface. The user interface includes a user interface surface having a self-cleaning composition. The self-cleaning composition is configured (e.g., disposed and / or disposed on the user interface surface) to remove the contaminated area (or one or more contaminated areas, e.g., occurrence) extracts at least one skin contaminant to thereby provide a self-cleaning user interface surface.

[0037] As discussed in the background section, during use of a user interface (eg, a touch-sensitive display), a user's finger may touch the interface and cause contaminants to be deposited on the interface. Such contaminants can interfere with optimal / preferred operation of the user interface. For example, a gradual buildup of dirt or finger oils can obscure the user interfac...
