Apparatus And Method For Activating A Localization Process For A Tire Pressure Monitor
First Claim
1. A method of initializing a tire pressure monitor, the method comprising:
- tuning a receiver device to monitor for first transmissions at a first time according to a first criterion and to monitor for second transmissions at a second time according to a second criterion;
when the receiver device initially recognizes one of the first transmissions being transmitted according to the first criterion or the second transmissions being transmitted according to the second criterion, verifying that the recognized transmission is valid;
when the transmission is recognized as valid, sending an indication to a receiver so that a localization procedure can be executed.

Abstract
A receiver device is tuned to monitor for first transmissions at a first time according to a first criterion and to monitor for second transmissions at a second time according to a second criterion. When the receiver device initially recognizes one of the first transmissions being transmitted according to the first criterion or the second transmissions being transmitted according to the second criterion, the recognized transmission is verified as being valid. When the transmission is recognized as valid, a transmission apparatus is activated to transmit an indication to a receiver so that a localization process can be executed.
