Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 A command transmitter 10 capable of carrying out the method according to the invention is shown in diagrammatic form. The command transmitter 10 comprises a microcontroller 13 connected to a keypad with several buttons 14 , 15 , 16 and to a radio frequency transmitter 12 connected to an antenna 11 . The command transmitter is powered by a battery 17 .

[0022] For purposes of illustration, it is assumed that the command transmitter is capable of controlling the opening and closing of the garage door and of activating and deactivating the alarm. Button 14 controls the opening of the door and deactivation of the alarm. Button 16 controls the closing of the door and the activation of the alarm, while button 15 is the button that stops the motoring of the door.

[0023] The command transmitter communicates with one or more command receivers (not shown) that operate the garage door and alarm.

[0024] In the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is first assumed that the comm...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of disabling the keyboard keys of a command-emitting device. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises repeated iterations of the following steps: the automatic disabling of at least some keys on the command-emitting device once a command has been sent and the cancellation of said key-disabling operation by means of a specific action on the command-emitting device. One such method can be used to disable the keyboard keys of a command-emitting device when said device is being placed in a pocket or bag.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of disabling buttons of a keypad for controlling a command transmitter of an appliance. The invention also relates to a command transmitter comprising a microcontroller connected to these buttons and means for transmitting commands and intended to carry out the method described above. [0002] This method is particularly applicable to remote control, for example by radio frequency actuation or locking of doors, such as garage doors or entry doors of dwellings. Background technique [0003] More generally, the invention may be applied in the field of secure access and / or guarding using alarms. When the command transmitter is portable and especially when it is moved in the user's pocket or bag, there is a risk of accidentally pressing the control button of the transmitter. [0004] This problem of accidental pressing is well known. Various solutions have been invented to remedy this. [0005] US Patent No. 3,906,814 ...
