TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A tire pressure monitoring system comprising:
- a valve-stem mountable tire pressure gauge comprising;
a pressure sensor adapted for detecting a pressure of a fluid in a tire, said pressure sensor providing an output signal indicative of the detected fluid pressure in the tire; and
a first radio frequency module for transmitting data indicative of said detected fluid pressure based on said output signal of said pressure sensor; and
a remote command device comprising;
a second radio frequency module adapted for wirelessly receiving the data transmitted by said first radio-frequency module;
a wireless communication module adapted for communicating, via a wireless network, information based at least on the data received by said second radio frequency module; and
a display for displaying at least the fluid pressure detected by said pressure sensor.

Abstract
A tire pressure monitoring using wireless network includes a remote command device and a valve-stem mountable tire pressure gauge. The tire pressure gauge includes a pressure sensor for detecting a pressure of a fluid in a tire and providing an output signal indicative of the detected fluid pressure, and a first radio-frequency module for transmitting data indicative of the detected fluid pressure based on the output signal of the pressure sensor. The remote command device includes a second radio-frequency module for wirelessly receiving the data transmitted by the data transmitted by the first radio frequency module, a wireless communication module for communicating via a wireless network, information based at least one data received by the second radio frequency module, and a display for displaying at least the fluid pressure detected by the pressure sensor.

9. A method for monitoring tire pressure comprising the steps of:
-
at a remote command device, wirelessly receiving a first signal from a removable valve stem mounted tire pressure gauge, said first signal being indicative of at least a detected automobile tire pressure; and responsive to said received first signal, transmitting a first alert from the remote command device to a telecommunication device via a wireless network, said first alert indicative at least of the detected automobile tire pressure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
