Device for measuring tire pressure without a battery
A measurement device for measuring the pressure of a wheel (3) of a vehicle, the measurement device comprising a stationary portion (5) and a movable portion (14) for being driven in rotation by the wheel, the stationary portion including a first printed circuit (7) having at least one first track formed thereon defining a first winding, the movable portion including a second printed circuit (16) having at least one second track formed thereon defining a second winding, the second printed circuit being arranged to be connected to a pressure sensor (15), the first winding and the second winding being coupled together to form a wireless communication channel, the measurement device being arranged in such a manner that the pressure sensor is electrically powered by the stationary portion via the wireless communication channel, and in such a manner that uplink data comprising pressure measurement data is transmitted to the stationary portion (5) by the movable portion (14) via the wireless communication channel.
Apparatus for wheel-mounted wireless measurement of tire pressure and method for doing the same
A tire parameter measurement method, device, and system of using the same are described herein. One method includes an inflatable tire and wheel assembly with an internally mounted pressure sensor apparatus, measuring pressure values, associating the sensor to an identification reader to receive the pressure values from the pressure sensor, and notifying a user of the measured pressure.
VEHICLE SENSOR LEARNING USING A LOW POWER WAKE-UP RECEIVER
Systems and methods for vehicle sensor learning using a low power wake-up receiver is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a tire monitoring that comprises a low power receiver and a transceiver receives, at the low power receiver, a radio frequency (RF) activation signal from a remote device, transitions to a wake state in response to receiving the activation signal, and transmits, via the transceiver, an RF response signal including an identification code to the remote device. The remote device, such as a handheld activation tool or an activation station in an assembly line, transmits the activation signal, receives the response signal, and associates the identification code of tire monitoring sensor with a location on the vehicle. The identification code and location may be provided to the vehicle control system.
AIRCRAFT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A method of communicating configuration data of a tire pressure monitoring device configured to be affixed to a wheel is disclosed. The method includes, at the tire pressure monitoring device, receiving a request to confirm configuration data, and responsive to receipt of the request to confirm configuration data, transmitting a configuration data signal which encodes the configuration data. The configuration data signal is configured to be received and understood by a human.
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.

PROGRAMMING METHOD AND DEVICE BASED ON TIRE PRESSURE SENSING
The present application provides a programming method and a programming device based on tire pressure sensing, which is related to the technical field of pressure sensing. The programming method includes: transmitting a region identification including at least one of a country, a region and a customer to an intelligent terminal through near-field communication for requesting the intelligent terminal to automatically match a database with the region identification and return a manufacturer code corresponding to a preset vehicle model identification from the database; receiving the manufacturer code sent by the intelligent terminal through near-field communication; and programming the tire pressure sensing device based on the manufacturer code. The programming method avoids an operator frequently manually switching countries, regions and customers on the intelligent terminal to match with the database, and also avoids a situation that the tire pressure sensing device cannot work normally due to error of manual switching.
