Abstract
A system for installation in a vehicle and for controlling a device, the system including a trainable transceiver, communications electronics, and a processing circuit coupled to the trainable transceiver and the communications electronics. The processing circuit is configured to train the trainable transceiver to control a device using information received from a cloud computing system remote from the device and vehicle via the communications electronics.
Claims20
A system for controlling a device, comprising:
- a trainable transceiver operable in a vehicle;
- communications electronics configured to receive, via a cloud computing system, configuration information related to controlling a remote device separate from the vehicle;
- and
- a processing circuit coupled to the trainable transceiver and the communications electronics, the processing circuit configured to train the trainable transceiver to control the remote device using the configuration information received via the cloud computing system.
A method for training a trainable transceiver, comprising:
- receiving, at a processing circuit operable in a vehicle, a user input;
- sending a request transmission to a cloud computing system using communications electronics coupled to the processing circuit;
- receiving configuration information, using the communication electronics, from the cloud computing system, wherein the configuration information is related to controlling a remote device separate from the vehicle and includes an activation signal parameter;
- and
- storing the configuration information received from the cloud computing system in memory coupled to the processing circuit.
A system for controlling a remote device, comprising:
- a trainable transceiver operable in a vehicle;
- an input device;
- communications electronics;
- and
- a processing circuit coupled to the trainable transceiver, the input device, and the communications electronics, the processing circuit configured to receive a user identification via the input device,
- wherein the processing circuit is configured to send, using the communications electronics, a transmission to a cloud computing system containing the user identification, and wherein the processing circuit is configured to train the trainable transceiver to control a remote device separate from the vehicle using configuration information received from a cloud computing system via the communications electronics, wherein the configuration information is related to controlling the remote device.
