Abstract:
A trainable transceiver for controlling a device and providing vehicle position information to a vehicle occupant includes a transceiver circuit, an output device, and a control circuit coupled to the transceiver circuit and the output device. The control circuit is configured to receive, using the transceiver circuit or a secondary transceiver, image data corresponding to a position of the vehicle. The control circuit is further configured to determine a vehicle position status based on the image data and to control the output device to convey information to the vehicle occupant based on the vehicle position status.
Abstract:
A trainable transceiver unit for mounting in a vehicle includes a transceiver circuit configured to reproduce the transmit control signals for operating a plurality of remote electronic devices, a user interface element, a battery configured to power the transceiver circuit and the user interface element, and a housing. The housing contains the transceiver circuit, the user interface element, and the battery and is integrated with a component of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A trainable transceiver for controlling a device includes a transceiver circuit, a control circuit coupled to the transceiver circuit, and memory coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to receive a signal from the device via the transceiver circuit. The control circuit is configured to determine a frequency of a channel used by the device based on the signal strength of the signal received from the device.
Abstract:
A system for installation in a vehicle and for controlling a remote device includes a camera, a trainable transceiver, and a control circuit coupled to the camera and the trainable transceiver. The control circuit is configured to use geographic location information to determine when to initiate a process of using the camera to identify the remote device and transmit an activation signal formatted to control the remote device. Upon initiation of the process, the control circuit is configured to use the camera to identify the remote device by comparing information received via the camera to information stored in memory, and wherein the control circuit is configured to automatically transmit an activation signal formatted to control the remote device, using the trainable transceiver, in response to identifying the remote device.
