Method for transmitter and receiver matching
First Claim
1. A method for pairing a transmitter and one of at least two receivers, the transmitter being adapted for sending a command, each receiver being adapted to receive this command and to identify the transmitter and to supply a signal intended for an installer, the method comprising:
- (a) defining a subset from among the set of receivers;
(b) supplying the signal by each receiver of the subset; and
(c) if only the receiver to be paired has supplied the signal, a step of transmitting a command by the transmitter and pairing the receiver having supplied the signal with the transmitter which transmitted the command and, if not, defining a new subset, the step of defining a new subset being followed by an iteration of steps (b) and (c).

Abstract
A transmitter is adapted to transmit a command, toward one or more receivers. Each receiver is adapted to receive said command and identify said transmitter, which as transmitted it. Furthermore, each receiver is adapted to supply a signal addressed to an installer, for example, a visual signal, by actuating an operator connected to the receiver. The method for matching a transmitter and a receiver includes assigning a subset or a rank to each receiver; then the receivers supply a signal, depending on their subset or their rank, for example, in response to a rank modifying command. When only the receiver to be matched supplies a signal, the installer emits a command from the transmitter. The receiver, which has just supplied the signal, receives the command and is matched to the transmitter, which has transmitted it the matching is carried out without any action on the receivers, simply by means of commands transmitted from the transmitter.

16. A method of pairing for a receiver adapted to receive a command send by a transmitter and to identify the transmitter and to supply a signal intended for an installer, the method comprising:
-
(a) assigning a rank;
(b) supplying the signal as a function of this rank; and
(c) on receipt of a command following the supplying step, pairing with the transmitter which sent the command. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A receiver having:
-
a circuit for receiving and for decoding commands sent by a transmitter;
means for supplying a signal intended for an installer;
a program executing a method of pairing for a receiver adapted to receive a command send by a transmitter and to identify the transmitter and to supply a signal intended for an installer, the method comprising;
(a) assigning a rank;
(b) supplying the signal as a function of this rank; and
(c) on receipt of a command following the supplying step, pairing with the transmitter which sent the command. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
