Abstract
A closure system including a curtain configured to seal an opening, a wireless network having a plurality of channels, at least one transmitter coupled to the curtain and configured to communicate over the plurality of channels, and an operator operatively coupled to the curtain and configured to communicate over the plurality of channels, the operator and the at least one transmitter configured to communicate with each other over a selected one of the plurality of channels based upon communication interference detected on one or more channels.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an operator to control movement of a curtain;
- a receiver communicatively coupled to the operator and configured to initiate a receiver pairing state for up to a predetermined amount of time over a plurality of channels;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the curtain and configured to initiate a transmitter pairing state for up to a predetermined amount of time, wherein the receiver and the transmitter are paired within the predetermined amount of time over a selected channel of the plurality of channels based upon communication interference detected on one or more channels, wherein the receiver is further configured to switch to the selected channel from a previously selected channel of the plurality of channels after a new channel detection phase detects that the selected channel and the communication interference is detected on the previously selected channel.
A method of pairing a receiver to a transmitter, comprising:
- powering on the receiver, wherein upon the powering on of the receiver, the receiver enters a receiver pairing state for up to a first predetermined amount of time over a plurality of channels;
- and
- powering on the transmitter and initiating a transmitter pairing state of the transmitter, wherein upon the initiating of the transmitter pairing state, the transmitter enters a transmitter pairing state for up to a second predetermined amount of time, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are paired within the first predetermined amount of time over a selected channel of the plurality of channels based upon communication interference detected on one or more channels, wherein the receiver is further configured to switch to the selected channel from a previously selected channel of the plurality of channels after a new channel detection phase detects that the selected channel and the communication interference is detected on the previously selected channel.
A method of pairing a receiver to a transmitter, comprising:
- initiating a receiver pairing state of the receiver, wherein upon the initiating the receiver pairing state, the receiver enters a receiver pairing state for up to a predetermined amount of time over a plurality of channels;
- and
- initiating a transmitter pairing state of the transmitter, wherein upon the initiating the transmitter pairing state, the transmitter enters a transmitter pairing state for up to the predetermined amount of time, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are paired within the predetermined amount of time over a selected channel of the plurality of channels based upon communication interference detected on one or more channels, wherein the receiver is further configured to switch to the selected channel from a previously selected channel of the plurality of channels after a new channel detection phase detects that the selected channel and the communication interference is detected on the previously selected channel.
