1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an electronic air pump, a target pressure for an object;
measuring, by the electronic air pump, a current air pressure of the object;
determining, by the electronic air pump, that the current air pressure of the object is greater than the target pressure; and
in response to determining that the current air pressure of the object is greater than the target pressure;
automatically deflating, by the electronic air pump, the object for a predetermined time period;
waiting a specified period of time after closing a solenoid valve before measuring a second air pressure of the object, andoutputting, by the electronic air pump, an indication that the object has been pressurized to the target pressure.

Abstract
An electronic air pump pressurizes object in either manual or automatic mode. In automatic mode, the electronic air pump determines air pressure needed to adjust an object to a set target pressure. The electronic air pump inflates or deflates the ball automatically until the air pressure inside the ball matches the preset value. In manual mode regulation of the air pressure is adjusted by a user.

2. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by an electronic air pump, a target pressure for an object; measuring, by the electronic air pump, a current air pressure of the object, wherein measuring a current air pressure of the object comprises averaging a plurality of air pressure sample measurements taken at specified intervals; determining, by the electronic air pump, that the current air pressure of the object is less than the target pressure; in response to determining that the current air pressure of the object is less than the target pressure; automatically inflating, by the electronic air pump, the object for a predetermined time period; and outputting, by the electronic air pump, an indication that the object has been pressurized to the target pressure. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
