Locking mechanisms for enabling or disabling the operations of trainable transceivers
First Claim
1. A trainable transceiver for controlling remote devices, comprising:
- a control circuit;
a plurality of buttons configured to cause the control circuit to control one or more functions of a remote device;
an input authenticator module executed on the control circuit, configured to compare a sequence of inputs on the plurality of buttons to a predetermined sequence; and
a locking mechanism configured to enable or disable operation of the control circuit to control the one or more functions of the remote device, in response to the comparison by the input authenticator and a determination that the sequence of inputs on the plurality of buttons matches the predetermined sequence.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of enabling and disabling a functionality of a trainable transceiver. The trainable transceiver may include a plurality of buttons, a control circuit, and a locking mechanism. The plurality of buttons may cause the control circuit to control one or more functions of a remote device. The control circuit may compare a sequence of inputs on the plurality of buttons to a predetermined sequence. The control circuit may acquire a sensor reading and compare the sensor reading to predetermined data. The locking mechanism may enable or disable operation of the control circuit in controlling the one or more functions of the remote device, responsive to a determination that the sequence of inputs matches the predetermined sequence and the sensor reading matches the predetermined data.
