VALVE IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION REGISTRATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A valve identification information registration system that registers identification information of a tire valve of a vehicle to a controller for a tire pressure monitoring system of the vehicle, the valve identification information registration system comprising:
- a door sensor that detects an open state and closed state of a door of the vehicle;
a transmitter arranged in an interior of a vehicle, wherein the transmitter transmits a tire valve activation signal in response to a detection of the door sensor indicating that the door is in the open state; and
a registration control circuit that receives a wireless response signal transmitted from the tire valve activated by the tire valve activation signal, which emanates from the vehicle interior from the open door, wherein the registration control circuit registers the identification information of the tire valve, which is included in the received wireless response signal in association with a tire location corresponding to the detection of the door sensor.

Abstract
A valve identification information registration system includes a door sensor that detects an open vehicle door. A transmitter is arranged in a vehicle to transmit a tire valve activation signal when the door sensor detects the open door. A tire valve is attached to a vehicle tire and activated by the tire valve activation signal that emanates from the vehicle from the open door and transmits a response signal including identification information. A registration control circuit receives the response signal from the tire valve and registers the identification information of the tire valve included in the received wireless response signal in association with a tire location corresponding to the detection of the door sensor.
