Abstract
A remote control system for operating a controllable unit includes a remote control device and a remotely-controlled device. A method for operating the remote control system includes the steps of transmitting a signal from the remote control device to the remotely-controlled device, transmitting a command signal from the remote control device to the remotely-controlled device, selectively transmitting an authorization request signal from the remotely-controlled device, transmitting a response signal from the remote control device to the remotely-controlled device, and verifying the response signal of the remote control device by the remotely-controlled device such that a controllable unit can be driven by the remotely-controlled device.
Claims13
Remote control device for operation of at least one controllable unit such as a drive unit attached to a moveable part such as a door, a gate, a window, blinds, shutters, or a curtain, an awning or the like, where the remote control device comprises a remote control unit and a remote-controlled unit designed in such a manner that the remote control unit may transmit coded control signals and in that the remote-controlled unit may receive and react upon said coded control signals, characterized by
- both the remote control unit (10) and the remote-controlled unit (20) comprising one and the same code,
- by the remote-controlled unit (20) comprising means for generation and transmission of an authorization request signal (60) upon receipt of a command signal (50) from the remote control unit (10),
- by the remote control unit (10) comprising means for generation and transmission of a response signal (70) to the authorization request, and
- by the remote-controlled unit comprising means for verification of such a response.
Method of configuration of a remote control device designed for operation of at least one remote-controlled unit such as a drive unit attached to a moveable part such as a door, a gate, a window, blinds, shudders, or a curtain, an awning or the like, where the remote control device comprises a remote control unit and a remote-controlled unit designed in such a manner that the remote control unit may transmit coded control signals and in that the remote-controlled unit may receive and react upon said coded control signals, characterized by
- the provision of one or more remote-controlled unit provided with an address each,
- the provision of a remote control unit provided with a code, and
- an initiation command from the remote control unit resulting in one or more of said remote-controlled units transmitting the(ir) respective address(es), which are being received and stored by the remote control unit and by said code being transmitted to and stored by the remote-controlled unit(s) in question.
