Method and apparatus for training a learning movable barrier operator transceiver
First Claim
1. A method for training a learning transceiver to operate with a movable barrier system, the method comprising:
- receiving a transmission signal by the learning transceiver from a movable barrier operator, the transmission signal transmitted in response to the movable barrier operator receiving a signal indicating an occurrence of a predetermined event, wherein the transmission signal comprises a fixed code portion and a rolling code portion;
deriving from the transmission signal the fixed code portion and the rolling code portion by the learning transceiver;
using at least one of the fixed code portion and the rolling code portion to generate a new rolling access code by the learning transceiver; and
transmitting the new rolling access code to the movable barrier operator by the learning transceiver.

Abstract
A system and method for training a learning transceiver to a movable barrier system includes a learning transceiver that is configured for being trained to the movable barrier system. To provide ease of use to consumers, a user is able to train the learning transceiver to the movable barrier system without needing to push a button on a movable barrier operator or use a pretrained transmitter. To this end, a movable barrier operator is configured to transmit a transmission signal to the learning transceiver including a rolling access code, which is used to train the learning transceiver. To maintain the security of the movable barrier system and to restrict unauthorized users from accessing the movable barrier system, the movable barrier operator waits to transmit the transmission signal, including the rolling access code, to the learning transceiver until it has received an indication that a predetermined event occurred.
