Abstract
A casing device for installing a TPMS wireless transmitter in a wheel of an automobile'"'"'s tire has a lower case and an upper case, wherein the lower case adheres to the outer surface of the wheel and has the same curved surface as the wheel and the upper case includes the wireless transmitter in itself and combines with the lower case and adheres to it. And in a method for transmitting wireless data a transmitter checks predetermined data transmitting conditions before transmitting wireless data to a receiver and transmits data by using TDMA method if the data transmitting condition is satisfied, or else by using CDMA method.

11. A hybrid digital RF data transmitting method comprising the steps of:
-
a step for confirming predetermined data transmitting condition before a transmitter transmits RF data to a receiver;
a step for transmitting data by a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) type method if said predetermined data transmitting condition is satisfied by said confirming step; and
a step for transmitting data by a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) type method if said predetermined data transmitting condition is not satisfied by said confirming step. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A hybrid digital RF data transmitting method in order to check the inner state of tires of an automobile and to display warning signal, wherein an RF transmitter having a means for checking the inner state of a tire is attached to each tire and a receiver is attached to a predetermined position of the inside of an automobile in order to inform a driver the inner state of each tire and to display a warning message if necessary, wherein said hybrid digital RF data transmitting method comprising the steps of:
-
a step for starting the automobile driving;
a first determination step for determining whether said being driven automobile is in a supplying mode or in an isolating mode;
a step for stopping the operation of a transmitter if said being driven automobile is in an isolating mode after said determination;
a step for starting the operation of a transmitter if said being driven automobile is in a supplying mode after said determination;
a first checking step for checking the inner state of a tire after a transmitter begins to operate;
a step for RF transmitting of an initial state data to a receiver after entering said supplying mode;
a second determination step for determining the state of a tire at a constant interval of time;
a second checking step for checking with a basis of said determined state whether the state of a tire is a in a normal/attention state or a in a danger/emergency state in accordance with a specific reference;
a step for displaying a corresponding display information via a displaying device of a receiver in accordance with the result of said second determination; and
a step for checking whether an automobile is being driven or not and then executing said second determination step if said automobile is in a driving state or stopping said second determination step if not in a driving state. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
