A movable barrier operator (303) that is configured and arranged to selectively control movement of a barrier (302), upon detecting (101) motion of an objec t, can automatically modify (102) near term automated movement options for that barrier. As but one example in this regard, this can comprise automatically temporarily modifying planned movement of the barrier as was instigated by reception of a remote control command from a wireless remote control transmitter. By one approach, this can further comprise taking such action as function of the relative distance of the object from a given location. This can provide the basis, for example, of automatically modifying near term automat ed movement options of the barrier when the object is relatively far from the given location and not modifying such options when the object is relatively close to the given location. |
