Protocol Misinterpretation Avoidance Apparatus And Method For A Tire Pressure Monitoring System
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of avoiding protocol misinterpretation in a tire pressure monitoring system, the method comprising:
- determining whether a frame to be transmitted according to a first protocol is susceptible to being incorrectly interpreted by a receiver in a vehicle as being transmitted according to a second protocol;
when the frame is determined to be susceptible to an incorrect interpretation, adjusting an internal value of the frame, the adjusting being effective to prevent an incorrect interpretation of the frame being transmitted from the tire pressure monitor to the receiver.

Abstract
A determination is made as to whether a frame to be transmitted according to a first protocol is susceptible to being incorrectly interpreted by a receiver in a vehicle as being transmitted according to a second protocol. When the frame is determined to be susceptible to an incorrect interpretation, an internal value of the frame is adjusted, and the adjustment is effective to prevent an incorrect interpretation of the frame being transmitted from the tire pressure monitor to the receiver. The adjusted frame can then be transmitted.

8. An apparatus for avoiding protocol misinterpretation in a tire pressure monitoring system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a transmission buffer configured to store a frame to be transmitted according to a first protocol; a transmitter coupled to the transmission buffer; a controller coupled to the transmission buffer and the transmitter, the controller configured to determine whether the frame to be transmitted according to the first protocol is susceptible to being incorrectly interpreted by a receiver as being transmitted according to a second protocol, and when the frame is determined to be susceptible to an incorrect interpretation, to adjust an internal value of the frame, the adjustment being effective to prevent an incorrect interpretation, the controller further configured to effect transmission of the frame from the transmission buffer via the transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

21. A computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to configure a controller of an apparatus for avoiding protocol misinterpretation in a tire pressure monitoring system, such that the following means are formed on the controller:
-
means for determining whether a frame to be transmitted according to a first protocol is susceptible to being incorrectly interpreted by a receiver as being transmitted according to a second protocol; means for, when the frame is determined to be susceptible to an incorrect interpretation, adjusting an internal value of the frame, the adjusting being effective to prevent an incorrect interpretation of the frame being transmitted from the tire pressure monitor to a receiver in a vehicle.
