Abstract:
A wireless transmitter/receiver system comprising:a remote transmitter selectively transmitting a first digital code at a first frequency; anda repeater having signal generation information arranged to replicate the output of an original transmitter associated with a particular receiver located remotely from the remote transmitter and the repeater, said repeater generating a second digital code at a second frequency based on the associated signal generation information in response to receiving said first code to replicate a code and output frequency signal suitable for receipt by the particular receiver, wherein the receiver activates a system in response to receiving the signal from the repeater;wherein the signal generation information associated with a particular receiver is maintained in a separate transmitter unit, and said repeater comprises a receiver that is mechanically coupled to the separate transmitter unit to actuate the separate transmitter to generate the second code when the repeater receiver receives the first code;wherein said remote transmitter includes first code generation circuitry including first encryption data, said first code changing upon sequential activations of the first transmitter, and said separate transmitter includes second code generation circuitry including a second encryption data different from said first encryption data, wherein said second code is also changed upon sequential activations of the separate transmitter.
