Double wireless receipt and transmission with mechanical movement causing second wireless transmission
First Claim
1. A method of operating a mechanically moving device, comprising the steps of:
- sending an encoded wireless transmission to a housing holding a remote control designed to operate said mechanically moving device;
causing a processor within said housing to decode said encoded wireless transmission;
wherein upon said wireless transmission being decoded, a device moves within said housing, causing depression of a button on said device, wherein said depressing of said button is carried out by activating a motor so that a shaft of the motor, associated with a moveable plate drives lowering of said movable plate until it presses into a resilient ball adjacent said button, which resilient ball effects depressing of said button, wherein raising of said movable plate by said motor causes spinning of a dowel functionally associated with said movable plate;
wherein said housing is fixed in position with respect to said button;
wherein said encoded wireless transmission comprises one of a plurality of pre-designated patterns or codes, each operative to cause said movable plate to engage said button;
wherein said remote control transmits a second wireless signal, causing said mechanically moving device to move.

Abstract
A mechanical or lockable device is operated based on the use of wireless transmission (electrical data connection or mechanical tapping) to a key housing. The key housing converts the transmission (a first transmission) into a code and checks if the code is correct. If so, a mechanical press of a button on a key fixedly held in place in the housing is made. The key is a further wireless transmitter which transmits, via a second transmission, a code to move a mechanical object, such as a latch in a car door lock or a garage door. In this manner, two wireless transmissions are made to two different receivers, causing two different mechanical movements, in sequence.

6. A kit comprising:
-
a mechanical locking device; a remote control with mechanical button, said mechanical button operative to open said mechanical locking device by way of wireless transmission; a housing holding said remote control, said housing having a motorized movable device there-within, said motorized movable device including a mechanical movable plate disposed above a resilient ball functionally associated with said mechanical button; wherein said housing is fixed in position with respect to said mechanical button; wherein said housing further comprises an input and decoder decoding said input, wherein said kit further comprises a handheld wireless transceiver connecting via radio signal to said input of said housing, such that upon said input matching a pre-designated pattern a motor of said motorized movable device is activated and a shaft of the motor, functionally associated with said mechanical movable plate, lowers said mechanical movable plate to engage said resilient ball thereby depressing said mechanical button of said remote control and unlocking said mechanical locking device, and subsequently raises said mechanical movable plate thereby effecting spinning of a dowel functionally associated with said mechanical movable plate. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A method of initiating a wireless transmission causing a mechanical movement, which causes a further wireless transmission for purposes of causing a second mechanical movement, comprising the steps of:
-
initiating a first wireless transmission from a hand-held wireless device having a network connection with a wireless transmitter housing a motor including a motor shaft, functionally associated with a mechanically movable plate disposed above a resilient ball and a mechanical button, said mechanically movable plate also functionally associated with a dowel; wherein said device housing said mechanically movable plate is fixed in position with respect to said mechanical button; activating said motor so that said motor shaft effects lowering of said mechanically movable plate to engage said resilient ball thereby to depress said mechanical button of said wireless transmitter, based on said first wireless transmission; wherein said first wireless transmission transmits one of a plurality of pre-designated patterns or codes, each operative to cause said mechanically movable plate to engage said mechanical button; said wireless transmitter, sending a second wireless transmission, based on said engaging of said mechanical button; a second mechanical device, distinct from said wireless transmitter and said handheld wireless device, moving as a result of said first and second wireless transmission, as well as a result of said engaging of said mechanical button. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
