Multiple transmission channel group transmitter
First Claim
1. A miniature, remote control transmitter for control of an antitheft auto security device, comprising:
- a) a miniature remote control transmitter having at least one switch and at least one transmission channel for transmission of commands to an antitheft auto security device;
b) a plurality of transmission channel group, programmed in said transmitter, each said channel group having at least one said transmission channel therein;
c) said switch having at least two functions;
p2 (i) first said function comprising transmission of said transmission channel to said antitheft device, only upon transition of said switch from a standby mode to an operational mode and back to said standby mode, and p2 (ii) second said function comprising selection of one of said plurality of transmission channel groups programmed in said transmitter, only upon transition of said switch from said standby mode to said operational mode for a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract
A remote control transmitter comprising at least one transmission channel for transmitting a code word to a system controller and for operating system operational functions controllable thereby; a plurality of transmission channel groups, each group having at least one transmission channel therein; at least one switch for activation of the transmitter, said switch having an operational mode and a standby mode; means for transmitting the code word to the controller and activated upon transition of the switch from the operational mode to the standby mode; and, using the same switch or switches both for selecting the channel group and for transmitting channel commands.

12. A method of controlling at least one antitheft auto security device through a miniaturized remote control transmitter having at least one switch usable both for the selection of channel groups and transmission channels therein, comprising the steps of:
-
a) placing a miniature remote control transmitter into a selection mode and selecting a transmission channel group, having at least one transmission channel therein, by transitioning at least one switch in said transmitter from a standby mode to an operational mode for a predetermined amount of time; b) selecting a transmission channel group by transitioning said switch from said standby mode to said operational mode while said transmitter is in said selection mode; c) exiting said selection mode by not operating said switches for a predetermined period of time; d) transmitting said transmission channel, within a selected transmission channel group, only by transitioning said switch from said standby mode to said operational mode to said standby mode. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for controlling at least one auto security device, each having a controller therein and a different security code therefor, with one miniaturized, remote control transmitter, comprising the steps of:
-
a) programming a remote transmitter with unique security codes for operation of n controllers; b) programming each said controller with at least one of said n security codes; c) placing said transmitter, having at least one switch therein, into a selection mode by transitioning a first switch from a standby mode to an operational mode for a predetermined amount of time; d) selecting one of n transmission channel groups, while said transmitter is in said selection mode, by transitioning said first switch from said standby mode to said operational mode to said standby mode n times; e) exiting said selection mode by waiting a predetermined amount of time without transitioning any said switches; f) transmitting a transmission channel, within said selected transmission channel group, to said controller by transitioning said first switch from said standby mode to said operational mode to said standby mode, said transmission channel activating controller operational functions. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method of selecting at least one transmission channel group and at least one transmission channel therein, in a vehicular anti theft device, controllable by a miniaturized remote control transmitter, with a plurality of switches each usable for selecting channel groups and transmission channels therein, comprising the steps of:
-
a) placing a miniature remote control transmitter into a selection mode and selecting a transmission channel group, having at least one transmission channel therein, by transitioning a first transmitter switch from a standby mode to an operational mode for a predetermined amount of time; b) selecting one of n transmission channel groups, while said transmitter is in said selection mode, by transitioning said first transmitter switch from said standby mode to said operational mode to said standby mode; c) exiting said selecting mode by not operating said switches for a predetermined amount of time without transitioning any said transmitter switches; and d) transmitting said transmission channel within a selected transmission channel group, only by transitioning at least one said transmitter switch from said standby mode to said operational mode to said standby mode, said transmission channel activating operational functions of an antitheft auto security device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
