US 6,445,283 B1 · Process and device for associating a remote control to a base station

Abstract

Method for allocating a remote controller to a base station, having the following steps: emission of a search signal by the base station, reception of the search signal, comparison with a reference signal, and emission of a “present” signal by the actuation element if the search signal matches the reference signal. If no “present” signal arrives in response to a search signal, emission of a search signal by the base station is repeated after a repetition time has elapsed. Execution of the method is accomplished by way of a base station which has means for detecting the time Ts that has elapsed since emission of a search signal, and by way of a remote controller which switches from an idle state into an active state upon arrival of a search signal.

Dependent claims

A base station, comprising:

at least one transmission device emitting a first search signal and a second search signal, the second search signal being emitted immediately after the first search signal;
a reception device receiving a particular signal from a remote controller;
a first arrangement determining if the particular signal has arrived at the base station;
and
a second arrangement determining a time period which has elapsed starting from a time when the at least one transmission device emits the second search signal,
wherein the at least one transmission device repeats the emission after the time period elapses if the particular signal has not arrived at the base station in response to a receipt of the first search signal.
