System and method for two-way remote activation with adaptive protocol
First Claim
1. A system for remote activation of a device, the system comprising:
- a remote unit comprisinga transceiver for wirelessly transmitting a command message according to a first transmission protocol, receiving a wireless acknowledgment signal indicating that the command message transmitted according to the first transmission protocol has been received, and wirelessly transmitting the command message according to a second transmission protocol comprising partitioning of the command message into a plurality of packets such that each packet includes a portion of the command message less than a complete command message, each packet for separate transmission by the transceiver, anda controller for selecting the first transmission protocol for use in transmitting the command message in response to a user input, and for selecting the second transmission protocol for use in transmitting the command message when the transceiver fails to receive the acknowledgment signal after transmission of the command message according to the first transmission protocol.

Abstract
In one embodiment of a system and method for remote activation of a device includes, a transceiver is provided for transmitting a command signal according to a first transmission protocol having a first data rate, receiving an acknowledgment signal indicating that the command signal transmitted according to the first transmission protocol has been received, and transmitting the command signal according a second transmission protocol, the second transmission protocol having a second data rate less than the first data rate and including partition of the command signal. A controller is provided for selecting the first transmission protocol for use in transmitting the command signal in response to a user input, and selecting the second transmission protocol for use in transmitting the command signal when the transceiver fails to receive the acknowledgment signal.
