System and method for enrollment of a remotely controlled device in a trainable transmitter
First Claim
1. A wireless control system for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated electronic device controllable by an original transmitter, the system comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to receive information based on a signal transmitted by the original transmitter, the processing circuit configured to automatically learn a signal to control the remotely operated device based on the information; and
a transmitter circuit coupled to the processing circuit, the transmitter circuit configured to transmit a wireless control signal having control data based on the signal automatically learned by the processing circuit.

Abstract
A wireless control system is configured to be trainable to control any number of remotely controlled devices. The system can be configured to gather and learn information relating to a signal transmitted by the original transmitter in a manner that is blind to a user of the system. The system can be designed to learn signals automatically such that fewer steps are necessary for a user to train the system to control a particular remotely controlled device. The system can train to remotely controlled devices in this manner with little or no user action required.

12. A method for operating a wireless control system in a vehicle for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated electronic device controllable by an original transmitter, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, using a receiver of the system, information relating to a signal transmitted by the original transmitter in a manner that is blind to a user of the system;
storing data in the wireless control system, the data configured to allow the system to send a wireless control signal that controls the remotely operated device; and
transmitting, from a transmitter, the wireless control signal that controls the remotely operated device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A wireless control system for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated electronic device controllable by an original transmitter, the system comprising:
-
a processing circuit configured to learn a signal transmitted by the original transmitter without being prompted to learn the signal by a user of the system; and
a transmitter circuit coupled to the processing circuit, the transmitter circuit configured to transmit a wireless control signal having control data based on the signal learned by the processing circuit. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A wireless control system for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated electronic device controllable by an original transmitter, the system comprising a trainable transmitter having a learning mode initiated by a user in which signals usable to control remotely operated electronic devices are trained to the trainable transmitter, and an operating mode in which signals trained to the trainable transmitter are sent;
- wherein the trainable transmitter is configured to learn information relating to the original transmitter when not in the user initiated learning mode.
