Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method of re-programming memory, and in particular, to wirelessly re-programming software, such as the application code, residing in memory of a trainable transceiver. The wireless re-programming of memory allows for software in the trainable transceiver to be updated or replaced from a remote location, where a direct or wired connection to the product is not otherwise available.
Claims12
A method of programming memory in a wireless control system using a remote device, comprising:
- receiving application code from the remote device;
- and
- programming the application code into at least part of the memory of the wireless control system, such that the wireless control system operates at least one remote electronic device, not otherwise paired with the wireless control system, using the programmed application code.
A system for programming memory, comprising:
- a wireless control system including at least a transceiver circuit and memory;
- and
- a remote device including at least a transceiver circuit and memory, wherein
- application code stored in the memory of the remote device is sent to the wireless control system and received by the transceiver circuit, and
- the application code received by the transceiver circuit is programmed into at least part of the memory of the wireless control system, such that the wireless control system operates at least one remote electronic device, not otherwise paired with the wireless control system, using the programmed application code.
