A garage door operation control apparatus includes a door operating system for opening and closing the main door of a garage, a main detection circuit for detecting the open or closed condition of the main door, an auxiliary detection circuit for detecting an open condition of a window or an auxiliary door of the garage, a fire in the garage or generation of a special gas therein, an alarm and a signal processing circuit. Electrical signals from the detection circuit are logically analyzed thereby to control the door operating system and the alarm.

Garage door operation control apparatus

A door operation control apparatus comprising a memory circuit for storing a programmed data on door control processes in the form of a combination of command codes is disclosed. A door operation input signal, a mode or condition detection signal from a door operating device and the condition of the program being executed are used to determine logically the optimum door operating mode, thus controlling the door operating device.
