Transmitter for wheel assemblies
A transmitter is configured to be attached to each of wheel assemblies in a vehicle and execute a process in accordance with a command included in a trigger signal. The transmitter includes a condition detecting section, a trigger receiving section which receives, as the trigger signal, an unmodulated wave having a received signal strength indication a transmitting section, and a controlling section. When the trigger receiving section receives the unmodulated wave, the controlling section causes the transmitting section to transmit the signal in response to the unmodulated wave. The controlling section is configured to execute an accumulation process to accumulate reception time of the unmodulated wave from a starting point in time, and shift into a restriction state to restrict a response to the unmodulated wave when the accumulated reception time reaches a predetermined time.

Tire theft monitoring system, tire theft monitoring apparatus, and tire theft monitoring method
A tire theft monitoring system includes a transmitter attached to a tire and configured to transmit tire ID information, a second database configured to store the vehicle ID information of the vehicle and contact information of an owner of the vehicle in association with each other, and a monitoring apparatus mounted on a vehicle to be monitored, and the monitoring apparatus includes a reader configured to perform near field communication with the transmitter attached to the tire mounted on the vehicle to be monitored, to acquire the tire ID information, and a controller configured to, in a case where the reader cannot acquire the tire ID information, determine that the tire identified with the tire ID information has been stolen and make a notification to contact information stored in the second database in association with vehicle ID information of the vehicle to be monitored.
Reduced number of states in a tire pressure monitoring system
At a control circuit of a TPM sensor, one or more of a first adjustment to the periodicity, a second adjustment to the content, and a third adjustment to the length of a message are determined based upon the operational history of the sensor. The adjustments are applied to the messages and adjusted messages are transmitted.
System and method for making protocol changes to a tire pressure monitoring sensor
Received acceleration or motion information are analyzed and when the analysis of this information indicates that motion or acceleration is detected, received burst patterns from the other sensors are analyzed. Based upon analyzing the detected burst patterns from the other sensors, a first burst pattern is selectively altered to transmit according to a single communication format, the single format being for a single vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE FITTING SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREIN FOR SENSOR DISCRIMINATION
A tire fitting system and a method for discriminating between tire sensors of a wheel to be assembled on a vehicle is provided. The tire fitting system comprising a processing circuitry configured to receive an identity of an RFID tag mounted on a rim, or in a tire, of a wheel. The processing circuitry is also configured to receive, from the at least two tire sensors, tire sensor signals comprising status information indicating how their respective tire sensor was activated. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine which identity of the at least two tire sensors is to be associated with the identity of the RFID tag based on the status information.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Learning Method, Device, Sensor, System and Medium
Provided is a tire pressure monitoring system learning method, device, sensor, system and medium. The tire pressure monitoring system learning method comprises following steps: receiving low-frequency data sent by a low-frequency trigger equipment; determining a command type corresponding to the low-frequency data; acquiring a preset tire pressure data in the low-frequency data if the command type is a sending command of custom high-frequency data, wherein the preset tire pressure data is used for simulating data sent by the tire pressure sensor to a vehicle-mounted ECU in a preset learning scene; generating high-frequency data based on a pre-stored high-frequency configuration parameter and the preset tire pressure data, and sending the high-frequency data to the vehicle-mounted ECU. The technical solution of the application enables the tire pressure sensor to send high-frequency data which can be identified by different vehicle-mounted ECUs, thus improving the adaptability of the tire pressure sensor.
VEHICLE-MOUNTED SYSTEM
A vehicle-mounted system provided in a vehicle including a tire includes a detector attached to the tire, the detector transmitting a detection signal, and a monitoring unit that determines a position of the tire based on a plurality of detection signals received from the detector. The detector determines a direction of revolution of the tire, and when the detector determines that the direction of revolution of the tire has changed, it switches a frequency of transmission of the detection signal from a first frequency to a second frequency higher than the first frequency.
