摘要:
A movable barrier operator system (10) having a movable barrier operator (11) and a wireless remote control (13) also has an automatic image recognizer (14) operably coupled to at least one of the preceding elements. In a preferred embodiment this automatic image recognizer comprises one or more image capture device (15). So configured, automated operational control decisions can be predicated, at least in part, on image-based information regarding a likely relative position of the wireless remote control with respect to the movable barrier operator.
摘要:
A barrier movement operator with improved mounting and power distribution capabilities is disclosed. The disclosed system includes an elongate member mounted from an overhead structure in a substantially horizontal manner. A head end of a barrier movement operator may be supported by the elongate member and the elongate member may be used to mount accessory devices such as lights and extension cords, and to provide mains voltage to the mounted accessories.

At a transmitter being used in a moveable barrier operator system, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is provided. The LCD is configured with a first visual display and the first visual display providing first information to a user. The LCD is selectively reconfigured with a second visual display and the second visual display providing second information to the user.
摘要:
A system is disclosed including a transmitter and receiver for the communication of security codes which may be validated at the receiver to operate equipment. In one embodiment, the transmitter transmits a security code at two frequencies contemporaneously to the receiver which may receive both frequencies and resolve the security code therefrom. The receiver may lock onto one frequency when parts of a security code are detected to the exclusion of the other frequency. In another embodiment, the transmitter selectively transmits security codes at a default frequency which is selected because of a recorded count of prior apparent successful transmission.
摘要:
A wireless transmit-only apparatus (20) has a controller (21) that responds to a user interface 25 by correlating specific user input with a corresponding characterizing transmission parameter(s) as is stored in a memory (35) and by selecting a corresponding resonant device (31 and 32). The latter devices serve to drive the PLL control input of a phase locked loop (23) to thereby influence the transmission carrier frequency of a wireless transmitter (22). In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the resonant devices comprises a mechanically resonant device such as a surface acoustic wave device, a crystal resonator, or a ceramic resonator.
摘要:
A method and system for controlling the speed of security gate depending on its length is disclosed. It includes a system for determining the length of a gate that the system is working with and which automatically sets the speed of movement of the gate based on length. The system works automatically so that human intervention is not necessary to set the optimal speed once installed.
摘要:
In a movable barrier operator, data that corresponds to force requirements to effect desired movement of a movable barrier is compressed and stored for later retrieval. Multiple compression schemes and/or compression rates can be made available. Selection of a given scheme or rate can be determined on a user-directed or an automatic basis. Automatic selection in turn can be based on various criteria including, for example, presently available memory resources.
