Systems and methods for proximity control of a barrier
First Claim
1. A system for closing a barrier comprising:
- a transmitter to transmit a control signal including transmitter identification information and position information; and
,a receiver coupled to a barrier control device, said receiver to,store a predetermined delay for closing said barrier,store user-defined position information,receive said control signal from said transmitter,compare the position information in said control signal to said user-defined position information, and if there is a match,actuate the barrier control device to close said barrier once said predetermined delay has lapsed.

Abstract
A system and method for proximity control of a barrier comprises a stationary wireless signal receiving device and a mobile transmitting device. The wireless signal receiving device may monitor at least one transmitting device within a predetermined coverage area and may be a radio frequency receiver or a spread spectrum receiver located near the barrier. In one embodiment, the transmitter device emits a control signal that is received by the receiving device when the transmitter is within a reception range. In one embodiment, the control signal includes transmitter identification information, directional information and position information. In another embodiment, the barrier is closed only after a predetermined delay has lapsed.
