Abstract
A method of operating a toilet includes detecting movement, using an imaging device comprising a sensor, of eyes of a person, wherein the imaging device is attached to or associate with the toilet. Using a computer processor analyzing imaging received from the imaging device, one or more directions that the person's eyes are pointing towards is determined. The directions are compared with prestored commands and a first prestored command is executed in response to the one or more directions matching the first prestored command.
