Method and system of controlling automotive equipment remotely
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wirelessly communicating dynamic event-based information from a transponder for delivery to a remote transceiver location, comprising:
- (a) means for collecting electrical energy from a received challenge as transmitted by a remote transceiver;
(b) means for serializing detected events within the transponder into a bit-stream; and
(c) means for transmitting said bit-stream from said transponder using said collected electrical energy for powering said transmission.

Abstract
A apparatus and method for providing enhanced utilization of transponder devices and for creating control embodiments that are particularly suited for use dynamically generating or controlling audio from a remote location. Transponders units are configured with trace buffers, external dynamic inputs, response delays, and other mechanisms to enhance utility. By way of example, the transponders are incorporated within embodiments such as a steering wheel, skateboard, or sensor glove controlled musical instrument, or control system. Other embodiments include a mix-memory audio system and an audio amplitude control solution for automobiles.
