A TPMS sensor for towable asset is configured to not only report a tire pressure but also whether the tire has moved. A telematics transceiver may then maintain a GNSS receiver in a sleep mode of operation (e.g., powered down) while the TPMS sensor does not report any motion.

This application relates to a tire monitoring system. In one aspect, the system includes a sensor module installed in a tire provided in a vehicle to obtain tire data and a communication module. The communication module may include a transceiver configured to transmit and receive the tire data, and an output unit configured to output one of a caution signal and a warning signal. The communication module may also include a controller configured to determine whether a state of the tire is abnormal based on the tire data and control the output unit to output one of the caution signal and the warning signal based on the determination result.

A patch is provided for an electronic device of a tire. The patch includes first and second compartments. The first compartment, which does not include an opening, is structured to house therein an electronic identification module. The second compartment, which includes a reclosable opening, is structured to house therein an electronic module having a complementary function to a function of the electronic identification module. The electronic module is adapted to receive identification data from the electronic identification module.

A method of communicating configuration data of a tire pressure monitoring device configured to be affixed to a wheel in use. 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. The configuration data signal is indicative of any of an aircraft wheel location at which the tire pressure monitoring device is intended to be located, and a security code representative of security parameters of the tire pressure monitoring device

A tire pressure detector includes: an air pressure detector to repeatedly detect air pressure of a target tire; a transmission device to wirelessly transmit air pressure information about the air pressure detected by the air pressure detector; a reception device to receive the air pressure information transmitted by the transmission device; an estimation device to calculate, when the reception device receives the air pressure information on the identical target tire a plurality of times, an estimated air pressure based on a plurality of pieces of the latest air pressure information received by the reception device, the estimated air pressure being an estimated value of the air pressure at current time; and an alarm generation device to raise an alarm when the estimated air pressure becomes equal to or less than a specified threshold.

Disclosed is a method for communicating measurement messages between a plurality of electronic measurement modules and an electronic control unit of a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of measurement (E1), by a primary emitter module, of parameter values associated with the wheel in which the module is mounted, of sending (E2), by the primary emitter module, of measurement messages to a relay module, of reception (E3) by the relay module, of the measurement messages sent, of measurement (E5), by the relay module, of parameter values associated with the wheel in which the relay module is mounted and of sending (E6), by the relay module, of the measurement messages received and of its own measurements to the electronic control unit.

An instant wireless detecting apparatus installed in a trailer which includes a detecting mechanism and a monitor. The detecting mechanism is provided for detecting a tire condition of each the plurality of tires on a bottom of a loading board. The detecting mechanism will generate an identification code corresponds to an identification code respectively and output a wireless signal to the monitor. The monitor is automatically matched with the detecting mechanism according to the identification code and the tire condition is to be determined according to the detecting signal of the detecting mechanism corresponding to the identification code. A prompted message is sent by the prompt component, such that the installation of tire pressure detecting component can be simplified and the time for the installation of the tire pressure detecting component cal also be reduced.

A tire pressure monitoring system including a monitoring unit positioned in a tractor, a first repeater positioned in the tractor, a plurality of second repeaters positioned in a plurality of trailers connected to the tractor, and a plurality of sensors positioned at tires of the tractor or the trailers. A first RF transceiving unit transceives data with the first repeater by a low power RF transmitting unit to the plurality of second repeaters.
