Abstract: A plurality of conductive members is disposed on an edge of a moveable barrier. The edge has a width and each of the conductive members is disposed along a portion of the width. A controller is coupled to each of the plurality of conductive members and is programmed to determine whether an obstruction exists within a path of movement of the barrier by analyzing a first capacitance sensed by a first of the plurality of conductive members and ground and a second capacitance sensed by a second of the plurality of conductive members and ground.

Abstract: A moveable barrier operator actuates an actuator thereby causing a message to be formed. The message indicates that the user at the moveable barrier operator requires assistance. A communication channel is established between the moveable barrier operator and an assistance center. The message is transmitted to the assistance center over the communication channel. An assistance action is performed to provide assistance to the user at the moveable barrier operator.

Abstract: A barrier movement operator system having a receiver for receiving, learning and responding to transmitted rolling code type access codes; at least one trained transmitter for operating the system by transmitting a rolling code type access code to the receiver; at least one learning transmitter for learning the rolling code type access code from said trained transmitter in order to operate the system; a controller for evaluating the relationship between the learning transmitter rolling type access code and the trained transmitter rolling type access code; and a device for providing a barrier movement in response to access codes received by the receiver. The barrier movement operator provides a method of learning valid security codes by a security code receiver comprising the steps of receiving a first security code, then within a predetermined period of time receiving a second security code, having a predetermined relationship to the first security code; and storing a representation of the second security code as a valid security code.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Remote control signaling may be conveyed using a spread spectrum link and/or a non-spread spectrum link. Enabling link interfaces (such as corresponding transmitters, receivers, or transceivers) to support this flexibility are provided in a shared housing and couple as appropriate to a remote control signal platform. A corresponding apparatus may comprise a housing having disposed therein a first radio frequency transmitter such as a spread spectrum transmitter and a second radio frequency transmitter such as a non-spread spectrum transmitter. This housing can further contain a remote control signal controller that operably couples to at least one of the first and second radio frequency transmitters. As another example, a corresponding apparatus may comprise a housing having disposed therein a first radio frequency receiver comprising a spread spectrum receiver and a second radio frequency receiver comprising a non-spread spectrum receiver.

Abstract: A recording of a macro is initiated. A first of a plurality of actions performable by the moveable barrier operator is selected and the first action is associated with the macro. At least a second of the plurality of actions available is selected at the moveable barrier operator and the second action is associated with the macro. A functional sequence of the first and second actions is recorded. The functional sequence specifies the order of performance of the first and second action. The recording of the macro is terminated. Subsequent to the terminating, actions recorded by the macro are performed at the moveable barrier operator in accordance with the functional sequence.

Abstract: 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.
