Moveable barrier operator translation system and method

A method of operating a moveable barrier operator, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a receiver operating in an operation mode, a first barrier actuation code transmitted from a transmitter, the first barrier actuation code transmitted according to a first code format;
• verifying that the first barrier actuation code is a valid code;
• in response to the first barrier actuation code being verified to be a valid code and while operating in the operation mode, saving the information contained in the valid code using a second code format and, in response to saving the information, forming a second barrier actuation code according to the second code format using at least a portion of the information contained in the first barrier actuation code;
• and
• subsequently transmitting the second barrier actuation code in the second code format to a barrier operator to actuate the barrier operator.

A device for transmitting codes to a barrier operator, the device comprising:

• a receiver apparatus configured to operate in an operation mode and, when operating in the operation mode, to receive a first barrier actuation code being transmitted from a remote transmitter, the first barrier actuation code transmitted according to a first code format;
• a transmitter apparatus;
• and
• a controller coupled to the receiver apparatus and the transmitter apparatus, the controller being programmed to, during operation in the operation mode, verify that the received first barrier actuation code is a valid code, and, in response to the first barrier actuation code being verified to be a valid code, based on the first barrier actuation code, to determine a second code format, save code information of the first barrier actuation code in the second code format, and to form a second barrier actuation code having at least a portion of the saved code information of the first barrier actuation code and to transmit the second barrier actuation code in the second code format to a barrier operator using the transmitter apparatus while operating in the operation mode.
