The current Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) communication media could not be said to be as users-friendly as they are machine–friendly, but efforts are ongoing to bridge the gap and enhance more man-centred interaction with machines. Though these efforts are generating some positive results, yet, innovative development and deployment is still very low. Therefore, this paper presents a framework of a cutting-edge deployment of natural communication media in HCI. By coded eye-blinks but firstly the person who wants to interact with the machine is authenticated via automatic face recognition. Once authenticated, the coded-eye blinks effect an actionable operation. This operation automatically dials some pre-selected phone numbers relaying a pre-recorded ‘Save-Our-Soul’ message by person under security threat or by an incapacitated medical patient. The methodology used is fully described in this paper.

Human computer interaction
eye blinking
face recognition
man-centred communication
The application is been currently developed. We hope to extend this work to more actionable eye blink communications. In a state of great insecurity in the nation, this system comes handy for security alerts and call to relevant authorities. Also with the present outbreak of highly communicable diseases like Ebola, the attendant medical personnel will not be able to hang around all through so a patient can easily make a call on the medical personnel with a simple eye blink no matter his state of health.
