VEHICLE TRAINABLE TRANSCEIVER FOR ALLOWING CLOUD-BASED TRANSFER OF DATA BETWEEN VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A trainable transceiver for transmitting signals to a remote device, the trainable transceiver comprising:
- an RF transceiver configured to receive an RF signal during a training mode in order to learn characteristics of the received RF signal, and to transmit an RF signal to the remote device in an operating mode where the transmitted RF signal includes the learned characteristics of the received RF signal;
a local memory device for storing channel data representing the learned characteristics of the received RF signal;
an interface configured to communicate with an Internet-connected device; and
a controller coupled to the local memory device and the interface, the controller configured to retrieve the channel data from the local memory device and to transfer the channel data for remote storage using the interface.

Abstract
A trainable transceiver is provided for a vehicle for transmitting signals to a device remote from the vehicle. The trainable transceiver includes an RF transceiver configured to receive an RF signal during a training mode in order to learn characteristics of the received RF signal, and to transmit an RF signal to the remote device in an operating mode where the transmitted RF signal includes the learned characteristics of the received RF signal; a local memory device for storing channel data representing the learned characteristics of the received RF signal; an interface configured to communicate with an Internet-connected device; and a controller coupled to the local memory device and the interface, the controller configured to retrieve the channel data from the local memory device and transfer the channel data for storage remote from the vehicle using the interface. The controller may also receive channel data from the remote memory device.
