Abstract
A system for coupling to a vehicle and for causing actuation of a remote device via a control signal transmission includes a transmitter for causing the control signal transmission to the remote device. The system further includes a circuit configured to cause a back-up display to indicate status of the remote device in response to a status determination.
Claims20
A system for coupling to a vehicle and for causing actuation of a remote device via a control signal transmission, comprising:
- a transmitter for causing the control signal transmission to the remote device;
- a receiver configured to receive status information from the remote device;
- and
- a circuit configured to:
- determine a status of the remote device based on the received status information;
- and
- while the vehicle is in reverse, cause a back-up display to indicate the status of the remote device in response to determining the status.
4 more elements
A method for use by a vehicle control system, comprising:
- causing a transmitter of the vehicle control system to transmit a control signal to a remote device;
- receiving, at a receiver of the vehicle control system, status information from the remote device;
- using a circuit of the vehicle control system to determine a status of the remote device based on the received status information;
- and
- while the vehicle is in reverse, updating a status indication for the remote device on a back-up display in electronic communication with the circuit in response to determining the status.
2 more elements
A system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a trainable transceiver;
- a back-up display;
- and
- back-up display electronics for controlling the back-up display;
- wherein the trainable transceiver is configured to wait for an acknowledgement after transmitting a command to a remote device;
- wherein the trainable transceiver is configured to report a status indication of the state of the remote device on the back-up display by providing information to the back-up display electronics and in response to whether or not the acknowledgement is received;
- and
- wherein, in response to receiving the information from the trainable transceiver, the back-up display electronics are configured to cause the back-up display to display the status indication while the vehicle is in reverse.
