DEFINITION

Classification: 455/352

Remote control of receiver:

(under subclass 130) Subject matter wherein the operation of the receiver is controlled by at least one or more devices from a point geos:graphically spaced from the receiver.

(1) Note. The control system to be found in this and indented subclasses will include both means whereby the control function is performed electrically from a remote point over intervening wired or radio circuits and means whereby the control function is performed mechanically by mechanical means such as a Bowden wire or flexible shaft.

(2) Note. The term geos:graphically spaced means located at a distance of an order of magnitude comparable to, or greater than the receiver dimensions.

(3) Note. Radio wave remote control of a receiver, per se, is classified herein. Radio wave remote control of an external device (e.g., garage door opener) is classified in Class 340, subclasses 694+.
