Programmable wireless sensors
First Claim
1. A programmable wireless sensor, comprising:
- a power supply;
a sensing component;
a transmitting component adapted to transmit information wirelessly, the information including information obtained by the sensing component or information derived from information obtained by the sensing component;
a receiving component adapted to receive software;
a memory component adapted to store received software; and
control logic including logic operable to execute stored software, the stored software, when executed, being operable to program at least one operating characteristic of the programmable wireless sensor.

Abstract
Programmable wireless sensors are disclosed that comprise a power supply, a sensing component, a transmitting component adapted to transmit information obtained by the sensing device or information derived from information obtained by the sensing component, a receiving component adapted to receive software, a memory component adapted to store received software, and control logic. The control logic includes logic operable to execute stored software. The stored software, when executed, is operable to program at least one operating characteristic of the programmable wireless sensor. Also disclosed are systems useful in selecting software to program or reprogram programmable wireless sensors. The programmable wireless sensors may be programmed or reprogrammed to emulate conventional wireless sensors, such as conventional TPMS sensors.
