System and methods for automatically moving access barriers initiated by mobile transmitter devices
First Claim
1. An operator system for automatically controlling access barriers, comprising:
- a base controller associated with at least one access barrier;
at least one base transceiver associated with said base controller; and
at least one remote transmitter periodically generating query signals, said at least one base transceiver in response to said query signals generating acknowledgment signals which are received by said at least one remote transmitter which subsequently generates movement commands to said base controller based upon receipt of a predetermined number of said acknowledgment signals.

Abstract
An operator system and related methods for automatically controlling access barriers including a controller associated with at least one access barrier and a transceiver associated with the controller for transmitting and receiving operational signals. The system also includes at least one proximity device capable of communicating operational signals with the transceiver based upon a position of the proximity device with respect to the barrier and/or the operational status of a vehicle carrying the proximity device, wherein the controller monitors the operational signals and controls the position of the access barrier based upon the operation signals. Such a system allows for hands-free operation of the access barrier.
