Abstract
Abstract The inventive cellular telephone includes a telephone for transmitting outgoing telephone call signals and receiving incoming telephone call signals and a transmitter for producing a wireless control signal to operate a remote device. The remote device may be a remote keyless entry system, a garage door opener, an estate gate opener, a home security system, a home lighting system, or some other system. To reduce cost, a single transmitter may produce both the control signal and the outgoing telephone call signals. In a preferred embodiment, the transmitter may be programmed to reproduce one or more unique control signals to operate several remote devices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A combination transceiver comprising: a telephone including a transmitter for transmitting outgoing telephone call signals and a receiver for receiving incoming telephone call signals, wherein said transmitter is further for transmitting outgoing wireless control signals and said receiver is further for receiving incoming wireless control signals; a controller including a memory, wherein said controller is responsive to a first incoming control signal received by said receiver to store in said memory information identifying a first outgoing control signal, and wherein said controller is further responsive to the stored information to cause said transmitter to transmit the first outgoing control signal, and wherein the first outgoing control signal is intended to operate a remote device; and an oscillator circuit for producing the outgoing telephone call signals and the outgoing control signals by modulation, wherein said controller controls said oscillator to modulate the outgoing telephone call signals and the outgoing control signals, said controller further controlling demodulation of the incoming telephone call signals and the incoming control signals received by said receiver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A combination transceiver comprising: a telephone including a transmitter for transmitting outgoing telephone call signals and a receiver for receiving incoming telephone call signals, wherein said transmitter is further for transmitting outgoing wireless control signals and said receiver is further for receiving incoming wireless control signals; a controller including a memory, wherein said controller is responsive to a first incoming control signal received by said receiver to store in said memory information identifying a first outgoing control signal, and wherein said controller is further responsive to the stored information to cause said transmitter to transmit the first outgoing control signal, and wherein the first outgoing control signal is intended to operate a remote device; and an oscillator circuit for producing the outgoing telephone call signals and the outgoing control signals by modulation, wherein said controller controls said oscillator to modulate the outgoing telephone call signals and the outgoing control signals, said controller further controlling demodulation of the incoming telephone call signals and the incoming control signals received by said receiver.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The transceiver of claim 1 , wherein said controller controls said transmitter to transmit the outgoing telephone call signals.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
The transceiver of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of input switches for producing input signals providing operational information to said controller.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
