1. A system, comprising:
a water supply, comprising:
a body comprising a water outlet to supply a flow; and
a control valve configured on the body to control the flow;
a gesture sensor, connecting wirelessly with the water supply, comprising:
an image sensing unit to capture at least a gesture image performed by the user and capture a shutdown gesture image performed by the user; and
a processing unit electrically connected to the image sensing unit, wherein the processing unit sends at least a control command to the control valve according to the gesture image, the control command comprises a first-discharge command or a second-discharge command, the control valve controls the discharge of the flow as the first-discharge or the second-discharge according to the first-discharge command or the second-discharge command, and the processing unit shuts off the control valve according to the shutdown gesture image, wherein the first discharge is larger than the second discharge; and
a display device electrically connecting to the gesture sensor, and the display device comprising:
an indicator translucent panel, wherein a surface of the indicator translucent panel shows letters or patterns to represent a gesture of counterclockwise rotation corresponding to the first discharge of the flow and a gesture of clockwise rotation corresponding to the second discharge of the flow, and the water supply is manipulated, by the user performing a gesture according to the letters or the patterns shown in the indicator translucent panel, to change the discharge of the flow.
