Apparatus for assisting registration of vehicle wheel identification data, and apparatus for assisting registration of data-processing information
First Claim
1. A wheel-identification-data registration assisting apparatus operable with a system including a body-side device disposed on a body of a vehicle and a plurality of wheel-side devices disposed on respective wheels of the vehicle, said apparatus being operable to assist said system in an operation associated with registration in said body-side device of information corresponding to wheel identification data which identify each of said plurality of wheel-side devices and which are transmitted from said each wheel-side device, said wheel-identification-data registration assisting apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of wheel-identification-data registration assisting devices, operable when located close to said wheels, respectively, to assist said system in at least a portion of the operation associated with said registration of the information corresponding to said wheel identification data in said body-side device; and
an assisting-device control device operable to control said plurality of wheel-identification-data registration assisting devices.

Abstract
An apparatus operable with a system which includes a body-side device and wheel-side devices and in which vehicle-state data such as wheel-state data representative of wheel states are transmitted by radio communication from the wheel-side devices to the body-side device, together with wheel identification data identifying the wheels. The apparatus includes antennas attached to each wheel inspecting device which is arranged to rotate the corresponding so that the antennas are sequentially aligned with the wheel-side device, and transmit trigger signals in response to which the wheel identification data are transmitted from the wheel-side device to the body-side device and registered in the body-side device. The apparatus assists the system so as to automate the registration of the wheel identification data, thereby eliminating a manual operation to bring a trigger device to the positions of the wheels to command the wheel-side devices to transmit the wheel identification data.
