Network ID Activated Transmitter
First Claim
1. A security code transmitter to transmit a control signal to a barrier movement operator for controlling movement of a movable barrier, the barrier movement operator being proximate to a wireless communication network having a network ID, the security code transmitter comprising:
- a receiver to receive a transmitted network signal comprising the network ID from the wireless communication network;
a memory to store a predetermined ID; and
a processor to determine whether the wireless network ID of the transmitted network signal matches the predetermined wireless network ID, and when a match is determined, controlling the security code transmitter to transmit the control signal to the barrier movement operator.

Abstract
A security code transmitter is provided to transmit a control signal to a barrier movement operator to controlling movement of a movable barrier. The barrier movement operator is proximate to a wireless communication network having a network ID. A receiver of the security code transmitter receives a transmitted network signal comprising the network ID from the wireless communication network. A memory of the security code transmitter stores a predetermined ID. A processor of the security code transmitter determines whether the wireless network ID of the transmitted network signal matches the predetermined wireless network ID. When a match is determined, the security code transmitter is controlled to transmit the control signal to the barrier movement operator.
