Abstract:
A vehicle wireless transmitter system includes a portable fob and a repeater mounted in the vehicle headliner. The portable fob includes user actuated buttons and code generation circuitry for a remote keyless entry system, garage door opener system, and home security system. 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. 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 trainable transmitter is described that is capable of learning and replicating both AM and FM signals. The trainable transmitter also has the capacity to learn and replicate RF signals in both the 27 MHz to 40 MHz and the 250 MHz to 450 MHz frequency bands commonly used in European garage door openers. The trainable transmitter allows an individual to input an identification of the country in which the trainable transmitter will be operated such that the trainable transmitter may then transmit the learned signals at the maximum levels permitted for the identified county.
Abstract:
A method of indicating a degree of incoming threat to an electronically secured area comprising the steps of sensor sensing a degree of threat delivered to a secured area and generating an electric signal proportional to the degree of threat; analyzing the signal to determine if it is a low degree of threat or a high degree of threat; and producing either a first pulse representing low degree of threat or separately producing the first pulse and a second pulse representing a signal having both low degree of threat and high degree of threat.
Abstract:
A security system for monitoring a protected area and sounding an alarm including a plurality of sensors arranged about a protected area for sensing incoming threat, device for generating at least one pulse for each sensor activated by the incoming threat to the area, an alarm controller for receipt of the pulses and sounding of an alert, and a single wire connecting outputs of the sensors to the controller for transmitting the pulses generated by the plurality of sensors to the controller.
Abstract:
Rollcodes are efficiently used within an interval for precomputed command sets by generating a first set of remote-cloud-key commands, the first set of remote-cloud- key commands including a plurality of remote-cloud-key commands each of which starts with a first roll code; determining a maximum number of roll codes used per command within the first set of remote-cloud-key commands; and generating a second set of remote-cloud-key commands, the second set of remote-cloud-key commands including a plurality of remote-cloud-key commands each of which starts with a second roll code that is determined by adding the maximum number of roll codes used per command within the first set of remote-cloud-key commands to the first roll code.
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 network operator radio module (NORM) configured to be removably attached to a barrier operator comprises a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, a transceiver antenna, and a microcontroller. The module communicates with a communication network that comprises various nodes configured by a network controller module and a network communication module. Each node may be associated with a network appliance, and may be remotely controlled by sending a suitable function code to the module via local command signals. Furthermore, various local remote transmitters and keyless entry transmitters are configured to transmit function codes to control the module and the associated various network appliances.
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.
Abstract:
A transmitter for operating a rolling code receiver is disclosed. A fixed code transmitter is capable of operating a plurality of different receivers (including rolling code receivers) by updating the transmitter's volatile memory with a set of one or more fixed codes stored in a non-volatile memory of the transmitter. In one embodiment, the transmitter's updatable nonvolatile memory is updated with a code or codes necessary for operating a user-selected receiver. In another embodiment, activating the transmitter will cause it to transmit the code(s) previously stored in the updatable nonvolatile memory based on the user receiver selection.
Abstract:
A method for training a receiver of a remote control system to a trainable transmitter includes receiving a control signal from an original transmitter associated with the remote control system. A first period of time is started in response to receipt of the control signal. During the first period of time, a learn message is received from a trainable transmitter. In response to the learn message, the receiver begins a receiver training mode. During the training mode, a rolling code control signal is received from the trainable transmitter and the trainable transmitter is enrolled by storing an identifier of the trainable transmitter.
