Abstract
A game call device including a housing formed having a housing assembly telescopingly movable within a shell assembly, the housing assembly movable between a storage position, to facilitate storage and transport of the device, and a use position, to facilitate use of the device. The device further includes a communications module for communicating between a remote device and the housing, the communications module operable to transmit a signal to the housing via a first audio channel for providing a sound, and a second audio channel, for rotating a decoy.
Claims20
A game call device communicatively coupled to a remote device, the came call device comprising:
- a motor;
- a decoy rotatably coupled to the motor;
- a control module for receiving an audio signal from the remote device, the signal having a first audio channel portion and a second audio channel portion, wherein the control module sends the first audio channel portion to an audio output system to produce an audio sound and sends the second audio channel portion signal to a motor control system to enable the motor to rotate the decoy;
- the motor control system including a first band frequency filter and a second band frequency filter, wherein if the second channel audio portion of the signal is within the first band frequency filter, energy is applied to the motor to rotate the decoy at a predetermined speed and direction, and wherein if the second audio channel portion of the signal is within the second band frequency filter, energy is applied to the motor to rotate the decoy in a second predetermined speed and direction.
A game call method, the method comprising:
- receiving an audio signal from a remote device;
- in response to receiving the signal,
- sending a first channel portion of the signal to an output system to produce a sound;
- and
- sending a second channel portion of the signal to a motor control system such that if the second channel portion contains a first predetermined frequency, energy is applied to a motor to move a decoy at a predetermined speed and direction, and wherein if the second channel portion of the signal is within the second predetermined frequency, energy is applied to the motor to move the decoy in a second predetermined speed and direction.
A method of manufacturing a game call device that is communicatively coupleable to a remote command device, the method comprising:
- providing a housing
- inserting a motor within the housing;
- coupling a decoy to the motor;
- securing a control module in the housing, the control module operable to receive an audio signal from the remote device, the signal having a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein the control module sends the first channel portion to an audio output system to produce an audio sound, and sends the second channel portion signal to a motor control system to enable the motor to move the decoy;
- and
- providing a first band frequency filter and a second band frequency filter in the motor control system wherein if the second channel portion of the signal is within the first band frequency filter, the motor control system applies energy to the motor to move the decoy at a first desired motion, and wherein if the second channel portion of the signal is within the second band frequency filter, the motor control system applies energy to move the decoy in a second desired motion.
