METHOD OF TRANSMITTING TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION AND WIRELESS TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM

摘要

A wireless tire pressure monitor system configured for transmitting tire pressure information of a tire of a vehicle is described. The wireless tire pressure monitor system comprises a vehicle-based receiver, at least one tire pressure sensor configured to be mounted inside the tire and configured to measure the air pressure within the tire, and a transmitter electronically connected to the tire pressure sensor and configured to transmit a signal comprising the tire pressure information to the vehicle-based receiver. The wireless tire pressure monitor system is configured to transmit the signal in a first transmission mode from the transmitter to the vehicle-based receiver when the tire is rotating, and transmit the signal in a second transmission mode from the transmitter to the vehicle-based receiver when the tire is stationary. Moreover a method of transmitting tire pressure information employing a wireless tire pressure monitor system is described.
