Embodiment Construction

[0023]Generally, a trainable transceiver controls one or more home electronic devices and / or remote devices. For example, the trainable transceiver may be a Homelink™ trainable transceiver. Home electronic devices may include devices such as a garage door opener, gate opener, lights, security system, and / or other device which is configured to receive activation signals and / or control signals. A home electronic device need not be associated with a residence but can also include devices associated with businesses, government buildings or locations, or other fixed locations. Remote devices may include mobile computing devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, computing hardware in other vehicles, and / or other devices configured to receive activation signals and / or control signals.

[0024]Activation signals may be wired or, preferably, wireless signals transmitted to a home electronic device and / or remote device. Activation signals may include control signals, control ...

Abstract

A system for controlling a remote device includes a mobile communications device and a trainable transceiver. The mobile communications device includes a display, a camera flash, a speaker, and a processing circuit coupled to the display, the camera flash, and the speaker. The trainable transceiver includes a transceiver circuit, a communications device, and a control circuit coupled to the transceiver circuit and the communications device. The trainable transceiver is configured to be in communication with the mobile communications device using the communications device, and the control circuit is configured to receive training information from the mobile communications device and train the trainable transceiver to communicate with the remote device based on the training information.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 as a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 688,951, titled TRAINABLE TRANSCEIVER AND MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE TRAINING SYSTEMS AND METHODS, filed Apr. 16, 2015, which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 981,510, titled, TRAINABLE TRANSCEIVER AND MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE TRAINING SYSTEMS AND METHODS, filed Apr. 18, 2014, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of trainable transceivers for inclusion within a vehicle. A trainable transceiver generally sends and / or receives wireless signals using a transmitter, receiver, and / or transceiver. The wireless signals may be used to control other devices. For example, a trainable transceiver may send a wireless control signal to operate a garage door opener. A trainable transceiver may be trained to o...
