1. A system for mounting in a vehicle including a user interface element and for causing a receiver device to change states, the system comprising:
- a transmitter;
a memory unit; and
an interface for receiving a user feedback signal from the user interface element;
wherein the system is configured to cause the transmitter to transmit a first transmission followed by a second transmission; and
wherein the system is configured to associate a first user feedback time window with the first transmission and a second user feedback time window with the second transmission, the first user feedback time window extending to a time after the transmitter has begun transmitting the second transmission;
wherein the system is further configured to associate the user feedback signal with the first transmission when the user feedback signal is received during the first user feedback window; and
wherein the system is further configured to associate the user feedback signal with the second transmission when the user feedback signal is received during the second user feedback window; and
wherein the system is configured to store a representation and/or an attribute of the first transmission or the second transmission in the memory based on which transmission has been associated with the user feedback signal.

Abstract
A method for configuring a transmitter device to transmit a recognized transmission to a receiving device is provided. The method includes transmitting a first transmission and transmitting a second transmission after the first transmission. The method further includes receiving, during the second transmission, a user input signal from an interface for receiving signals from one or more user interface elements. The method further includes storing an attribute associated with the second transmission in a memory device in response to the user input signal.

9. A method for configuring a transmitter device to transmit a recognized transmission to a receiving device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first transmission; transmitting a second transmission after the first transmission; receiving, during the second transmission, a user input signal from an interface for receiving signals from one or more user interface elements; storing an attribute associated with the second transmission in a memory device in response to the user input signal; calculating a first user feedback window associated with the first transmission, the first user feedback window extending into a time beyond a beginning of the second transmission; storing an attribute associated with the second transmission in response to the user input signal and configuring a logic element to transmit the first transmission and the second transmission when a second user input signal is received; and determining whether the first transmission or the second transmission changed the state of the receiving device based upon user input activity occurring subsequent to the receipt of the second user input signal.
