Smart tire pressure monitoring system
First Claim
1. A method of operation of a wireless portable tire monitoring system, the method comprising:
- at a wireless portable tire monitor having at least one processor and a memory for storing sensor mappings and vehicle profiles;
receiving sensor information from one or more tire-mounted sensors, each sensor being associated with a tire according to a sensor mapping, and each tire and associated sensor being associated with a vehicle according to a vehicle profile; and
monitoring a status of at least one of the one or more tires.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for a wireless portable tire monitoring system are provided. According to one aspect, wireless portable tire monitoring system includes a portable monitor that receives sensor information from one or more tire-mounted sensors, each sensor being associated with a tire, and each tire being associated with a vehicle, and monitors tire status. Multiple vehicles may be monitored from the same portable monitor, and tires can be dynamically associated with or disassociated from a particular vehicle. Tire status may be displayed to the user in a manner that provides a graphic association between the tire status and the vehicle to which the tire is associated, including showing the location of the tire on the vehicle. The system may asynchronously alert the user if threshold conditions, such as low tire pressure, are detected.
