The present invention is generally a movable barrier operator configured for remote actuation, and more specifically, to a movable barrier operator configured to generate a barrier command in response to an authorized mobile device joining wireless network. The authorization may be established by connecting the mobile device to the operator through a wireless communication means. The wireless communication means may include known protocols such as Bluetooth™, Wi-Fi, NFC, ZigBee™, or any other type of wireless communication.

1. A method performed by an onboard computer on a vehicle for controlling a movable barrier, comprising: receiving a communication initiated by a movable barrier operator, the communication including an invitation from a movable barrier operator to join a local wireless network of the movable barrie
1. A method performed by an onboard computer on a vehicle for controlling a movable barrier, comprising: receiving a communication initiated by a movable barrier operator, the communication including an invitation from a movable barrier operator to join a local wireless network of the movable barrier operator;sending a request to join the local wireless network, wherein the request includes a unique identifier associated with an authorized user;launching an application in response to receiving the invitation, the application for requesting a user input associated with actuation of the movable barrier;detecting whether the onboard computer has joined the local network; andautomatically generating a movable barrier actuation command in response to the vehicle onboard computer joining the local wireless network. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending user credentials to confirm the identity of the authorized user to the movable barrier operator. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the invitation from the movable barrier operator includes an instruction to automatically launch the application on the onboard computer. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the application launched by the onboard computer comprises graphical user interface (GUI). 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the GUI includes an output for requesting the user input for authenticating the user. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: providing via an output of the GUI historical data concerning times during which the onboard computer has accessed the movable barrier. 7. A method performed by an onboard computer on a vehicle for controlling a movable barrier, comprising: detecting a message initiated by a movable barrier operator, the message inviting the onboard computer on the vehicle to join a local wireless network of the movable barrier operator whenever the onboard computer is within a programmable proximity of the movable barrier;launching an application, in response to the message, requesting a user input associated with actuation of the movable barrier;sending an access request in response to receiving the user input; andjoining the local wireless network of the movable barrier operator, wherein joining the local wireless network causes the movable barrier operator to automatically generate a movable barrier actuation command for moving the movable barrier. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: determining the distance of the vehicle to the movable barrier using received signal strength indication (RSSI). 9. The method of claim 7, wherein joining the local wireless network comprises joining a wireless personal area network (WPAN), and the WPAN utilizes the ZIGBEE protocol, the BLUETOOTH protocol, Near Field Communication (NFC), or the WI-FI protocol to communicate with the movable barrier operator. 10. A method performed by a movable barrier operator, comprising: initiating a communication with an onboard computer on a vehicle to join a local wireless network of the movable barrier operator, wherein initiating the communication includes transmitting an invitation from the movable barrier operator to the onboard computer;receiving a request from the onboard computer to join the local wireless network, wherein the request includes a unique identifier associated with an authorized user;accessing a database to match the unique identifier to authenticate the onboard computer;authorizing the onboard computer to join the local wireless network; andgenerating a movable barrier command in response to the onboard computer joining the local wireless network. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the invitation to the onboard computer includes an instruction for the onboard computer to automatically launch an application. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising: receiving from the onboard computer user input comprising user credentials to confirm the identity of the authorized user. 13. The method of claim 10, further comprising: sending a request to the onboard computer for user input comprising user credentials to confirm the identity of the authorized user; andreceiving from the onboard computer the user input comprising the user credentials to confirm the identity of the authorized user. 14. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining the distance of the vehicle to the movable barrier using received signal strength indication (RSSI). 15. The method of claim 10, wherein accessing the database includes: retrieving one or more sets of temporary user identification codes associated with one or more mobile devices with a temporary authorization to access the movable barrier. 16. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining whether to allow the onboard computer to join the local wireless network based on user permissions associated with the unique identifier. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the user permissions include a time designation during which the onboard computer associated with the unique identifier may access the movable barrier. 18. The method of claim 10, further comprising: providing a user interface for managing the database. 19. The method of claim 10, further comprising: providing a user interface for accessing historical data concerning times during which the onboard computer has accessed the movable barrier. 20. The method of claim 10, further comprising: accessing a server in communication with the movable barrier operator, the server for managing the database.
