Detachable wireless adapter for vehicle communication modules

Wireless remote control transmitter and receiver for electrical appliances

To reduce the number of remote control transmitters required to control multiple domestic electrical appliances, the transmitter and the receiver establish a temporary communication link by going through a certain identification procedure. As long as the communication link still exists, subsequent signal sent by the transmitter will be interpreted by this receiver alone. Therefore, one transmitter is able to communicate with many receivers, thus in turn to operate many appliances. In the identification procedure, identity codes are sent by the transmitter 1. The receiver turns on a visual device 7 as soon as its identity code is received. This visual signal is relayed to the transmitter through mechanical action actuated by the human. The transmitter will stop sending identity codes and ends the identification procedure. ...
