1. A method of wireless communication and interfacing between a trainable transceiver located in a vehicle and a remote device, comprising:
- establishing bidirectional communication between the trainable transceiver and the remote device, wherein the trainable transceiver waits to receive a request command from the remote device;
transmitting a request command from the remote device to the trainable transceiver, wherein the request command is configured to cause the trainable transceiver to enter into one of the plurality of modes of operation; and
transmitting a response command from the trainable transceiver to the remote device based on the request command,wherein the trainable transceiver enters into one of a plurality of modes of operation in response to the request command from the remote device received during the bidirectional communication between the trainable transceiver and the remote device, wherein entering into one of the plurality of modes of operation includes determining whether the request command from the remote device is valid and;
upon determining that the request command is invalid, entering into a training mode, andupon determining that the request command is valid, entering into the training mode when the request command is for normal operation, and entering into a wireless diagnostic mode when the request command is for diagnostic mode.

Abstract
The invention relates to a universal wireless trainable transceiver unit with integrated bidirectional wireless interface functionality, and a method for same. Using a scan, push button or untrained channel mode, a user may enter into a wireless bidirectional interface mode of a trainable transceiver. The interface mode allows a user to select a sub-set of modes that include diagnostics, flash and vehicle interface. Each mode provides the trainable transceiver to communicate wirelessly in a bidirectional manner with another remote device.

9. A method of wireless communication and interfacing between a trainable transceiver located in a vehicle and a remote device, comprising:
-
receiving a sequence of a plurality of inputs on the trainable transceiver; determining whether the sequence is valid; if the sequence is invalid, entering into a normal operation mode; and if the sequence is valid; receiving a request command from the remote device at the trainable transceiver, transmitting a response command to the remote device from the trainable transceiver based on the request command, and wherein the trainable transceiver enters into one of a plurality of modes of operation in response to the request command from the remote device received during the bidirectional communication between the trainable transceiver and the remote device, wherein entering into one of the plurality of modes of operation includes determining whether the request command from the remote device is valid and; upon determining that the request command is invalid, entering into a training mode, and upon determining that the request command is valid, entering into the training mode when the request command is for normal operation, and entering into a wireless diagnostic mode when the request command is for diagnostic mode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
