Transmitter and receiver for controlling the coding in a transmitter and receiver
First Claim
1. Apparatus for controlling a radio frequency receiver with a remote radio frequency transmitter comprising a first memory means in said receiver for storing at least one address code, infrared transmitting means in said receiver, a first microcomputer in said receiver capable of accessing said first memory means and for generating a random address code and storing it in said first memory means, a program mode switch means in said radio frequency receiver for energizing said first microcomputer to generate said random access address code and for energizing said infrared transmitting means to transmit said address code, an infrared receiving means in said transmitter for receiving said address code, a second memory means in said transmitter for storing said address code, radio frequency radiating means in said transmitter for radiating said address code, radio frequency receiving means in said receiver for receiving said transmitted code, said first microcomputer in said receiver receiving and comparing the received address code with the address code stored in said first memory, and an output circuit energized by said first computer when said addresses are the same.

Abstract
Transmitters and receivers for controlling remote elements which use a synchronous serial transmission format and which allows changes in coding to be automatically made between the receiver and transmitter and wherein the code is stored in memories of the transmitter and receiver and wherein the receiver can generate and transmit a new code with a light emitting diode so as to change the code in the transmitter. The transmitter and the receiver use micro-computers which are suitably programmed and include non-volatile memories.
