Remote control device and method of configuration of such a remote control device

A method for operating a remote control system for moving a moveable part, the method comprising an initial configuration procedure comprising the steps of:

• providing a remotely-controlled device having a unique address;
• providing a remote control device having a unique code;
• initiating an initiation command from the remote control device;
• and selectively transmitting the unique address from the remotely-controlled device to the remote control device, when the remotely-controlled device defines no stored code;
• receiving and storing in the remote control device the unique address transmitted by the remotely-controlled device;
• transmitting the unique code from the remote control device to the remotely-controlled device;
• and
• storing the unique code in the remotely-controlled device.

A remote control system for operating a drive unit, the remote control system comprising:

• a remote control device having a unique code, the remote control device configured to transmit a signal selected from the group consisting of an initiation signal, a signal comprising said unique code, and combinations thereof;
• a remotely-controlled device in communication with the remote control device, the remotely-controlled device having a unique address and being configured to receive and react to the signal by transmitting a unique address to receive the signal comprising said unique code from the remote control device and store said unique code in a code storage means, in case said signal is an initiation signal and said code storage means is void of a code, and to await a command signal from the remote control device, in case said code storage means contains a code, said command signal comprising the unique address;
• the remotely-controlled device further including means for selectively generating and transmitting an authorization request signal based on the command signal;
• the remote control device further including means for generating and transmitting a response signal in response to the authorization request signal, said response signal being generated using said unique code;
• and
• the remotely-controlled device further including means for verifying the response signal such that a controllable unit is moved by the remote-controlled unit, said means for verifying the response signal being adapted for generating a further coded signal using said unique code and for carrying out a comparative procedure of the response signal and said further coded signal.

• a remote control device having a unique code, the remote control device configured to transmit a signal selected from the group consisting of an initiation signal, a signal comprising said unique code, and combinations thereof;
• and
• a remotely-controlled device in communication with the remote control device, the remotely-controlled device having a unique address and being configured to react to the initiation signal by transmitting said unique address to receive the signal comprising said unique code from the remote control device and store said unique code in a code storage means, in case said signal is an initiation signal and said code storage means is void of a code, and to await a command signal from the remote control device in case said code storage means contains a code, said command signal comprising the unique address, the remotely-controlled device further configured to selectively generate and transmit an authorization request signal in response to the command signal, the remote control device configured to transmit a response signal in response to the authorization request signal, said response signal being generated using said unique code, the remotely-controlled device further configured to verify the response signal by generating a further coded signal using said unique code and for carrying out a comparative procedure of the response signal and said further coded signal to move a controllable unit.

A method for operating a remote control system, the method comprising the steps of:

• transmitting a signal from a remote control device having a unique code, the signal selected from the group consisting of an initiation signal, a signal comprising said unique code, and combinations thereof;
• receiving the signal by a remotely-controlled device in communication with the remote control device, the remotely-controlled device having a unique address and being configured to selectively react to the signal by sending said unique address to the remote control device to receive the signal comprising said unique code from the remote control device and store said unique code in a code storage in case said signal is an initiation signal and said code storage is void of a code, wherein when void said unique code is received and stored without any additional manipulation of the remotely-controlled unit, and to await a command signal from the remote control device in case said code storage contains a code;
• transmitting a command signal from the remote control device to the reactive remotely-controlled device, said command signal comprising the unique address;
• selectively transmitting an authorization request signal from the reactive remotely-controlled device responsive to the command signal of the remote control device;
• transmitting a response signal from the remote control device in response to the authorization request signal of the remotely-controlled device, said response signal being generated using said unique code;
• and
• verifying the response signal from the remote control device by the remotely-controlled device to drive a controllable unit by the remotely-controlled device, said response signal being verified by generating a further coded signal using said unique code and by carrying out a comparative procedure of the response signal and said further coded signal.
