A system for installation in a vehicle and for controlling a remote device includes a trainable transceiver and a remote button module. The trainable transceiver base station configured to be mounted in the vehicle at a first location and the remote button module separated from the base station and configured to be mounted in the vehicle at a second location. The remote button module is configured to wirelessly transmit a command signal to the base station in response to receiving a user input at a user input device, and the base station responds to receiving the command signal by transmitting an activation signal to the remote device, wherein the activation signal is formatted to control the remote device.

Electronic systems are provided for secure actuation of a remote device such as a moveable barrier operator. The systems address the man in the middle problem of persons intercepting and duplicating radio frequency signals from a control device by introducing timing parameters into a bidirectional communication sequence between at least two devices.

An onboard system (4) for a vehicle (2) comprising:an emitter circuit (8) suitable to send a command (C) to a park area access system (22);an image sensor (6) suitable to capture a sequence of images (S) of at least part of a body of a driver (D) of the vehicle (2); anda control module (10) suited to process said sequence of images (S) so as to identify a behavioral feature and then control the emitter circuit (8) to send the command (C) to the park area access system (22) provided the identified behavioral feature corresponds to a predetermined behavioral feature. A corresponding process is also proposed.

In one aspect, a universal receiver is provided for being operably coupled to a movable barrier operator. The universal receiver includes at least one radio antenna adapted to receive signals transmitted at different frequencies and a controller operably coupled to the at least one radio antenna. The controller is adapted to determine a code of a signal received by the at least one radio antenna at any one of the different frequencies. The controller being further adapted to learn the code in response to a user-independent learning condition being met.

A network connectivity module may provide additional or alternative functionality to a lock that secures a securable container, such as a safe or automated teller machine. The module may be installed in a communication pathway between a keypad and the lock. The module may be programmed to communicate with a plurality of different locks manufactured by different manufacturers. The module may include a network input/output interface, which may provide a wired or wireless connection to one or more external networks, such as the Internet. The additional or alternative functionality may provide a new feature set for the lock that was not available at the time of purchase or installation of the lock. Additionally or alternatively, the connectivity to the external networks may enable remote access to the module, and may enable a remote user to enable or disable functionality of the module, and/or access to the securable container.
