Patent ID: 8405490

Claim:
A system for wireless operation comprising: a receiver; and a mobile remote control unit having an acceleration sensor and a control unit, the mobile remote control unit operable to wirelessly transmit control signals to the receiver, wherein the control unit is configured to: receive and evaluate measurement signals of the acceleration sensor; determine a connection quality between the mobile remote control unit and the receiver; block the transmission of at least some of the control signals when a decision criterion determined by the measurement signals of the acceleration sensor and the connection quality is exceeded; determine, from the measurement signals of the acceleration sensor, a relative translocation of the mobile remote control unit; correlate the relative translocation with a change in the connection quality; and use the correlation as the decision criterion so that the transmission of at least some of the control signals is only blocked when a reduction in the connection quality is detected in conjunction with the determined relative translocation exceeding a permitted movement.
