SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENROLLMENT OF A REMOTELY CONTROLLED DEVICE IN A TRAINABLE TRANSMITTER
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated device controllable by an original transmitter, the system comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to learn a signal transmitted by the original transmitter and received at the processing circuit from 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.

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.

19. A system for controlling a remotely operated device, the remotely operated device controllable by an original transmitter, the system comprising:
-
a transmitter circuit; a receiver circuit; a control circuit configured to determine a first location based on received navigation data and to automatically associate the first location with first wireless control signal data received from the original transmitter at the receiver circuit; wherein the control circuit is configured to store the first location and the received first wireless control signal data as a data pair of a plurality of data pairs, each data pair representing an association between a location and wireless control signal data; wherein the control circuit is configured to compare newly received navigation data to the locations of the data pairs; and
, in response to a match between the newly received navigation data and a second location of the data pairs, causes the transmitter to transmit a second wireless control signal according to second wireless control signal data associated with the second location. - View Dependent Claims (20)
