1. A transmitter for sending an encrypted signal to control a device, comprising:
- means for generating a radio frequency oscillatory signal;
means for generating a variable binary code;
means for generating a three-valued or trinary code responsive to the variable binary code; and
means for modulating the radio frequency oscillatory signal with the trinary code to produce a modulated trinary coded variable radio frequency signal for operation or control of a secure actuator.

Abstract
A rolling code transmitter is useful in a security system for providing secure encrypted RF transmission comprising an interleaved trinary bit fixed code and rolling code. A receiver demodulates the encrypted RF transmission and recovers the fixed code and rolling code. Upon comparison of the fixed and rolling codes with stored codes and determining that the signal has emanated from an authorized transmitter, a signal is generated to actuate an electric motor to open or close a movable barrier.

2. A wireless transmitter for sending a security code to a movable barrier operator, the movable barrier operator configured to interpret the security code from the wireless transmitter to be in one of an invalid window, a valid window, or an insecure window, the wireless transmitter comprising:
-
a user interface; a radio frequency transmitter; a control circuit operably coupled to the user interface and to the radio frequency transmitter, the control circuit being configured to respond to a sequence of user assertions of the interface by causing the radio frequency transmitter to transmit a corresponding sequence of security codes including a first security code to be interpreted by the movable barrier operator as being in the insecure code window and a different, second security code having a predetermined relationship to the first security code. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A method of using wireless transmitter to operate a movable barrier operator, the movable barrier operator configured to interpret a security code from a wireless transmitter to be in one of an invalid window, a valid window, or an insecure window, the method comprising:
at the wireless transmitter; receiving a sequence of assertions of a user interface; and transmitting a corresponding sequence of security codes including a first code to be interpreted by the movable barrier operator as being in the insecure code window and a different, second security code having a predetermined relationship to the first security code. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
