TIRE IDENTIFICATION CODE REGISTRATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A tire identification code registration system for use with a plurality of tire pressure detectors and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) receiver, each of the tire pressure detectors includes a unique tire identification code and is configured to be coupled to a tire, each of the tire pressure detectors is configured to detect pressure of the corresponding tire and transmit a tire pressure signal that includes tire pressure information, and the receiver is configured to receive the tire pressure signal and monitor the pressure of the corresponding tire based on the received tire pressure signal, the tire identification code registration system comprising:
- a storage manager configured to store, in a memory, tire identification codes included in wireless signals received during a predetermined storage period as candidate tire identification codes; and
a registration unit configured to register the candidate tire identification codes in the memory as formal tire identification codes after the storage performed by the storage manager when the number of the candidate tire identification codes in the memory is equal to a predetermined storage number.

Abstract
A tire identification code registration system for use with tire pressure detectors and a tire pressure monitoring system (TMPS) receiver. Each tire pressure detector, which includes a unique tire identification code, is coupled to a tire to detect the pressure of the tire and transmit a tire pressure signal. The receiver receives the tire pressure signal and monitors the pressure of the tire. The tire identification code registration system includes a storage manager that stores, in a memory, tire identification codes included in wireless signals received during a predetermined storage period as candidate tire identification codes. A registration unit registers the candidate tire identification codes in the memory as formal tire identification codes after the storage performed by the storage manager when the number of the candidate tire identification codes in the memory is equal to a predetermined storage number.

13. A controller for a tire pressure monitoring system, the controller comprising:
-
a volatile memory element; a nonvolatile memory element; and a computer processor coupled to the volatile memory element and the nonvolatile memory element and configured to; store, in the volatile memory element, a tire identification code included in each tire pressure signal received during a predetermined storage period as a candidate tire identification code, register, to the nonvolatile memory element, each candidate tire identification code as a formal tire identification code if the number of the candidate tire identification codes in the volatile memory element when the predetermined storage period ends is equal to a predetermined storage number; and delete a candidate tire identification code that meets a deletion condition from the volatile memory element if the number of the candidate tire identification codes in the volatile memory element when the predetermined storage period ends is greater than a predetermined storage number. - View Dependent Claims (14)
