UNIVERSAL MONITORING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE TIRES
First Claim
1. A universal monitoring device for monitoring one or several state variables of a vehicle tire, comprisingat least one sensor for detecting a state variable of the vehicle tire;
- at least one transmitter for transmitting a wireless coded signal depending on the detected state variable;
at least one control apparatus which is in connection with the sensor and the transmitter in order to control the detection of the state variable and the transmission of the signal, whereina memory is assigned to the control apparatus or is integrated therein, in which a computer program which is executable by the control apparatus is stored, which controls the detection of the state variable and the transmission of the signal;
characterized in thatthe computer program comprises a plurality of functional modules that can be activated individually or in groups, which modules are designed to change the content and the coding of the signal to be transmitted depending on their activation or deactivation;
the control apparatus is assigned a receiver for receiving a parameter set;
the memory is designed for storing the parameter set received by the receiver, andthe computer program is designed to activate and deactivate its functional modules depending on parameters of the stored parameter set, and to determine the change in the content and the coding of the signal to be transmitted by the functional modules depending on parameters of the stored parameter set.
