Fixed location based trainable transceiver for the control of remote devices systems and methods
First Claim
1. A control device mounted in a vehicle for controlling remote devices, comprising:
- a control circuit coupled to an operator input device; and
a communications device coupled to the control circuit,wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit a control signal in response to a user input at the operator input device via the communications device to a trainable transceiver remotely located from the vehicle, receipt of the control signal triggering the trainable transceiver to format an activation signal in response to the control signal and to send the formatted activation signal to control a remote device.

Abstract
A system for controlling a remote device from a vehicle includes a control device in the vehicle. The control device includes an operator input device configured to receive a user, input, a control circuit coupled to the operator input device, and a first communications device coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to transmit a control signal in response to the user input. The system further includes a trainable transceiver remote from the vehicle including a second communications device configured to receive the control signal, a processing circuit coupled to the second communications device, and a transceiver circuit coupled to the processing circuit. The processing circuit configured to format an activation signal in response to the control signal, and the processing circuit is further configured to transmit the activation signal via the transceiver circuit, wherein the activation signal is configured to control the remote device.
