Patent ID: 7401634

Claim:
An adjustable covering for an architectural opening in combination with a control system, a motor, and a remote control having an up button and a down button, said control system being configured to execute at least one computer readable instruction for controlling the operation of the adjustable covering, wherein the covering includes a pair of flexible elements and a plurality of parallel vanes interconnecting the flexible elements, said covering being movable between retracted and extended positions and said vanes being pivotable between open and closed positions, said vanes remaining in said closed position when said covering is moving between said extended and retracted positions and being movable between said open and closed positions only when said covering is fully extended, said control system executing said instruction by: receiving a first signal from said remote control wherein the first signal is generated upon a single press and release of the down button; outputting a second signal upon receiving said first signal, which activates said motor to begin extending the adjustable covering; outputting a third signal which deactivates the motor after the adjustable covering reaches full extension and while the adjustable vanes are in a closed position; receiving the first signal from the remote control for a second time after outputting the third signal, wherein the first signal is again generated upon a single press and release of the down button; and outputting the second signal activating the motor to begin rotating the roll bar to move the vanes from the closed toward an open position while the covering is fully extended.
