Abstract: A window apparatus of a vehicle includes a movable panel that selectively encloses an exterior opening of the vehicle. The movable panel includes an electro-optic apparatus configured to adjust in transmittance. A wireless connection interface includes a vehicle-side coupling module and a panel-side coupling module. The vehicle-side coupling module is in connection with a support frame of the vehicle forming an opening that receives the movable panel. The vehicle-side coupling module is aligned with an interface surface of the movable panel. The wireless connection interface communicates power or electrical signals from a transmission unit of the vehicle-side coupling module to a reception module of the panel-side coupling module.

Abstract: A communication apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a window comprising a metallic coating and forming an interior surface enclosing a portion of an interior compartment of the vehicle. The apparatus further comprises a wireless communication circuit comprising an antenna configured to communicate via a radio frequency. The antenna comprises an electrical conductor and a plurality of elongated openings formed in the metallic coating. The electrical conductor extends in a first direction and is in conductive connection with the communication circuit. The electrical conductor is disposed proximate to the interior surface of the window. The elongated openings extend in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The elongated openings in combination with the electrical conductor provide for an improved transmission of the radio frequency.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a user prior to allowing the user to interact with a vehicle-based wireless trainable transceiver. The authentication method includes a separate user's device. The authentication method also includes a step in which the separate user's device is linked to the transceiver through an interface; the device is then stored as an authenticated device. The authentication method also includes a step in which the authenticated device is confirmed to be within a predefined range of the vehicle-based wireless transceiver, after which the owner of the authenticated device will be authorized to interact with the vehicle-based wireless transceiver.

Abstract: A trainable transceiver for controlling a device includes an antenna array, at least one location sensor or connection to a location sensor, and a control circuit. The antenna array includes at least two antennas and is configured to direct a transmission. The control circuit is coupled to the antenna array and the at least one location sensor. The control circuit is configured to control the antenna array to direct the transmission along an antenna heading corresponding to a communication path between the trainable transceiver and the device, and wherein the control circuit is configured to determine the communication path based on (A) a location of the trainable transceiver determined by the control circuit based on information from the at least one location sensor and (B) a location of the device determined by the control circuit.
