Abstract:
A control unit (11) responds in ordinary course (Fig. 1) to external stimuli. In addition, the control unit (11) further processes the external stimuli to characterize and otherwise seek to identify certain aspects and attributes. Unique audible signals that correspond to varying results of such analysis are then provided. These audible signals can readily facilitate ease and accuracy when diagnosing the cause of a particular operational issue. In one embodiment the diagnostic audible signals are selectively mutable without concurrently muting other audible signals as correspond to ordinary operation of the control unit (11).
Abstract:
A vehicle wireless transmitter system includes a portable fob (12) and a repeater (14) mounted in the vehicle headliner (26). The portable fob includes user actuated buttons (36, 38, 40) and code generation circuitry for a remote keyless entry system (16), garage door opener system (18), and home security system (20). When the user activates the garage door opener button on the portable fob from within the vehicle, the code generated by the portable fob is repeated by the repeater mounted in the vehicle headliner and retransmitted in a more powerful signal directed through the windshield (28). Thus, the portable fob insures that the code generation circuitry is removed from the vehicle with the user, while the repeater insures that the transmitted signal has enough power to provide satisfactory range.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring and controlling an area comprising a controller (35) for controlling system operational functions; at least one remote-control transmitter (25) for transmitting system commands to the controller in a code word having a fixed word and a hopping word therein; the fixed word comprising at least one fixed data bit and the hopping word comprising at least one changing data bit, wherein the hopping word changes its binary value from transmission to transmission of the system commands; and, means for scrambling bits of the fixed word and bits of the hopping word within the code word.
Abstract:
Electronic systems are provided for secure actuation of a remote device such as a moveable barrier operator. The systems address the “man in the middle” problem of persons intercepting and duplicating radio frequency signals from a control device by introducing timing parameters into a bidirectional communication sequence between at least two devices.

Abstract:
Radio control for electric devices comprising a containment body (2) provided with buttons or keys (3) inside which there is an electronic board including at least one electronic transmitter (52) to transmit a unique code in the direction of such electric devices and a microprocessor (4) to which the generated signals are sent by pressing such buttons (3) and that controls such a transmitter and that determines such a unique transmissible code.Each time the button (3) is pressed the code is transmitted by such a transmitter at least once at a first frequency and then retransmitted at least once at a second frequency.
Abstract:
A trainable transceiver having an integrated interface connections with various vehicle modules for use with various remote electronic devices and a method of programming and using the same. The wireless trainable transceiver is in a vehicle with an integrated interface allowing connection to a human to machine interface and vehicle position determination device, such a navigation system and compass and the wireless trainable transceiver has the ability to change functions associated with preset buttons on the trainable transceiver, depending upon the location of the vehicle.
Abstract:

The control circuit is configured to receive notification information from the mobile communications device via the communications device, and wherein the control circuit is configured to generate an output using the output device based on the notification information.
Abstract:
A system for installation in a vehicle and for controlling a device, the system including a trainable transceiver, communications electronics, and a processing circuit coupled to the trainable transceiver and the communications electronics. The processing circuit is configured to train the trainable transceiver to control a device using information received from a cloud computing system remote from the device and vehicle via the communications electronics.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a transmitter device to transmit a recognized transmission to a receiving device is provided. The method includes transmitting a first transmission and transmitting a second transmission after the first transmission. The method further includes receiving, during the second transmission, a user input signal from an interface for receiving signals from one or more user interface elements. The method further includes storing an attribute associated with the second transmission in a memory device in response to the user input signal.
