Alarm System
First Claim
1. An anti-theft alarm system for vehicle wheels, wherein the alarm system comprises:
- at least one wireless measuring module (102A, 102B, 200, 400, 502A to 502C, 606) for determining kinetic state information characterizing the kinetic state of a vehicle wheel on the basis of acceleration measurement, the wireless measuring module (102A, 102B, 200, 400, 502A to 502C, 606) being further configured to be attached to the vehicle wheel, to generate a wireless data transfer signal on the basis of the kinetic state information and transmit the wireless data transfer signal; and
at least one wireless central processing unit (106, 300, 420, 504), which is configured to receive the wireless data transfer signal and execute a predetermined alarm function when the wireless data transfer signal fulfils predetermined conditions.
