IMAGE RECOGNITION FACILITATED MOVABLE BARRIER OPERATIONS METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A movable barrier operator system (10) having a movable barrier operator (11) and a wireless remote control (13) also has an automatic image recognizer (14) operably coupled to at least one of the preceding elements. In a preferred embodiment this automatic image recognizer comprises one or more image capture device (15). So configured, automated operational control decisions can be predicated, at least in part, on image- based information regarding a likely relative position of the wireless remote control with respect to the movable barrier operator.
