Abstract
A system and method for actuating a moveable barrier operating system. A wireless time signal at a receiver. A time-of-day signal is supplied at the output of the receiver. The receiver is automatically reset using the wireless time signal when the time-of-day signal is different than the time represented by the wireless time signal. A moveable barrier is actuated using the time-of-day signal at the output of the receiver.
Claims13
A method for controlling a moveable barrier operating system comprising:
- receiving a generally available wireless time signal at a receiver;
- supplying a time-of-day at the output of the receiver;
- automatically resetting the receiver using the generally available wireless time signal when the time-of-day signal is different than a time represented by the generally available wireless time signal;
- and
- actuating a moveable barrier operator in response to the time-of-day output of the receiver.
A method for controlling a moveable barrier operator comprising:
- receiving user input indicating when a moveable barrier should be actuated;
- adjusting a time signal representing the time-of-day in response to a received generally available wireless time signal;
- comparing the user input to the time signal;
- and
- actuating a movable barrier operator based upon comparing the user input to the signal.
A system for controlling a movable barrier operator comprising:
- a receiver receiving a generally available wireless time signal and adjusting a time signal in response to the generally available received wireless time signal;
- and
- a movable barrier operator coupled to the receiver and receiving the generally available wireless time signal output, the movable barrier operator selectively actuating a movable barrier operator based upon the time signal output.
A method for controlling a moveable barrier operating system comprising:
- receiving a generally available wireless time signal at a receiver;
- supplying the generally available wireless time signal at the output of the receiver;
- and
- actuating the moveable barrier operator using the generally available wireless time signal output of the receiver.
