A Miniature Remote Control System (10) that overcomes the problems encountered by previous remote control devices is disclosed. The present invention uses a remote emitter (12) which integrates a radio transmitter circuit (60) in a small housing (34) that plugs into an existing lighter receptacle (28) in a vehicle (V). When pushed down, the remote emitter (12) transmits a coded serial pulse train (16) to a remote receiver (14) up to 200 feet away. The pulse train (16) has a unique code (20) (one of 19,683) on a 380 MHz carrier frequency. The remote receiver (14) processes the pulse train (16), and extracts the serial transmitter code (20). The transmitter code (20) is then compared to the preset receiver code (22), and, if a match is found, a relay (104) is triggered. When activated, the relay (104) can be used to operate external devices (ED), including garage doors (GD), security gates (SG), burglar alarms (SA), exterior lights (EL) or interior lights (IL). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The Miniature Remote Control System disclosed and claimed below overcomes the problems encountered by previous mobile remote control systems.
The Miniature Remote Control System integrates a radio circuit in a small device that can fit inside a cigarette lighter enclosure in an automobile, truck, van, forklift or other vehicle.
When activated, it can be used to open garage doors and security gates, activate or deactivate burglar alarms, turn on lights inside or outside the home, or activate other devices from a remote location.
The remote control transmits a coded serial pulse train to a receiver up to 200 feet away.
The transmitter board fits inside a cigarette lighter housing and simply plugs into the existing lighter receptacle in a car.
A miniature switch located on top of this housing is manually activated to transmit a unique code (one of 19,683) on a 380 MHz carrier frequency.
The receiver processes the carrier signal, and extracts the serial code.
The code is then compared to the preset code, and, if a match is found, a relay is triggered.
The innovative Miniature Remote Control System incorporates the latest remote control technology in a package that is small, safe, reliable, cost-effective, and appropriate for wide acceptance throughout the automotive industry.
Installation of the present invention simply entails replacing a standard cigarette lighter with the a remote emitter, which is designed to fit within and operate from a standard lighter receptacle, which is supplied and conveniently located within all modern vehicles.
The majority of people who drive vehicles do not smoke, allowing wide market acceptance of the use of the remote emitter located within the standard lighter receptacle.
This invention will become the standard-bearer for remote control technology and constitutes a major step forward in the field of automotive accessory design.
An appreciation of other aims and objectives of the present invention and a more complete and comprehensive understanding of this invention may be achieved by studying the following description of a preferred embodiment and by referring to the accompanying drawings
