Remote vehicle control system including common carrier paging receiver and related methods

摘要

A vehicle remote control system includes a common carrier paging receiver and an adapted remote transmitter coupled to the paging receiver to communicate with the system function controller. The system preferably includes a plurality of transmitters including at least one first transmitter for being carried by a user, and a first receiver positioned at the vehicle for receiving signals from the transmitters. The function controller is connected to wiring at the vehicle and to the first receiver. The system also preferably includes the second or paging receiver positioned at the vehicle for receiving signals via the common carrier paging network and for generating output control signals responsive to received signals from the common carrier paging network. In addition, the transmitters preferably further include a slightly modified remote transmitter connected to the second paging receiver for communicating output control signals to the controller and via the first receiver.
