Patent number: 11200769Abstract: A movable barrier operator transmits a message to a remote peripheral platform and, upon determining that the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out a given functionality, responsively permits a particular function to be carried out by the movable barrier operator. Conversely, upon determining that it cannot be ascertained whether the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out the given functionality, the movable barrier operator responsively prevents the movable barrier operator from carrying out the particular function. Also, upon detecting that a targeted remote platform does not acknowledge a previously re-transmitted message and further upon detecting that this same remote platform has also not acknowledged a subsequent wirelessly-transmitted second message, the system can switch to automatically retransmitting that second message a lesser number of times than would otherwise be required.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: The Chamberlain Group LLCInventors: Jordan Ari Farber, Jeremy Eugene Jenkins, Dilip Jagjivan Patel, John Steven Scaletta

Patent number: 11055942Abstract: In one aspect, a portable electronic device is provided for accessing a secured area to deliver a package therein. The portable electronic device includes a sensor configured to detect an indicium of the package and communication circuitry configured to communicate a message to a server computer associated with the package upon the sensor detecting the indicium. The communication circuitry is further configured to receive delivery information from the server computer, the delivery information including at least a location of the secured area. The portable electronic device further includes a processor operatively coupled to the sensor and the communication circuitry. The processor is configured to cause, via the communication circuitry, the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier associated with the secured area.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: The Chamberlain Group, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Charles Coates, Jeremy Eugene Jenkins, David R. Morris, Gregory John Stanek, Adam Joshua Schrems, James Scott Murray

Publication number: 20170316628Abstract: A movable barrier operator transmits a message to a remote peripheral platform and, upon determining that the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out a given functionality, responsively permits a particular function to be carried out by the movable barrier operator. Conversely, upon determining that it cannot be ascertained whether the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out the given functionality, the movable barrier operator responsively prevents the movable barrier operator from carrying out the particular function. Also, upon detecting that a targeted remote platform does not acknowledge a previously re-transmitted message and further upon detecting that this same remote platform has also not acknowledged a subsequent wirelessly-transmitted second message, the system can switch to automatically retransmitting that second message a lesser number of times than would otherwise be required.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Jordan Ari Farber, Jeremy Eugene Jenkins, Robert R.

Patent number: 8836469Abstract: A control circuit initiates a relationship-establishment mode of operation and operates in both a learn mode of operation and a pairing mode of operation. When the control circuit completes one of these modes of operation (for example, the learn mode of operation, the pairing mode of operation, or either) the relationship-establishment mode of operation can switch to only using the remaining mode of operation during a remainder of the relationship-establishment mode of operation. One can also disable a previously-established relationship for each of a first category of remote platforms (such as remote platforms that became authorized through a learn mode of operation) when the user presses a button. Upon then detecting a second end-user assertion of the end-user interface, the control circuit can further disable a previously-established relationship with each of a second category of remote platforms (such as remote platforms that became authorized through a pairing mode of operation).Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: The Chamberlain Group, Inc.Inventors: James J.

Publication number: 20120094604Abstract: A wireless radio-frequency receiver is configured to selectively receive in at least two discrete bands can be operably coupled to at least a first antenna comprising a reception antenna. This reception antenna can be tuned to a first one of at least two discrete bands. In turn, a wireless radio-frequency transmitter can be operably coupled to a transmission antenna, wherein the transmitter is configured to selectively transmit in at least one of the two discrete bands. This transmission antenna is tuned to a second one of the at least two discrete bands that is different from the first one of the at least two discrete bands. By one approach, the wireless radio-frequency transmitter is configured to transmit in only one of the two discrete bands (such as the second one of the at least two discrete bands).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2010Publication date: April 19, 2012Inventors: Nirav Hement Amin, Jeremy Eugene Jenkins, Robert R.
