Abstract: A method for automatically transmitting an activation signal from a trainable transceiver to a remote electronic system, includes receiving, at a control circuit of the trainable transceiver, image data from an image data source; determining, using the control circuit, if the received image data matches one or more reference images stored in memory and associated with the remote electronic system; and determining, in response to a match between the received image data and the one or more reference images, if the trainable transceiver is approaching the remote electronic system. The method includes, in response to determining that the trainable transceiver is approaching the remote electronic system, formatting an activation signal to control the remote electronic system and transmitting, using a transceiver circuit, the activation signal formatted to control the remote electronic system.

Abstract: A system for controlling a remote device from an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a user interface comprising a plurality of inputs. A control circuit is in communication with a communication circuit and configured to selectively generate a plurality of control signals in response to the plurality of inputs. The control circuit is configured to transmit a first control signal to a remote device via a first communication interface in response to a first input of the plurality of inputs, wherein the first control instruction is configured to control a state of the remote device. The control circuit is further configured to transmit a second control instruction to a mobile device via a second communication interface in response to a second input of the plurality of control inputs. The second control instruction is configured to control the mobile device to process a predetermined task.
