METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING IDENTIFICATION SIGNALS FORMULATED ACCORDING TO N DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS, USING AN ELECTRONIC CASING PROVIDED ON A WHEEL OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting identification signals (P1-Pn) formulated according to n different protocols, using an electronic casing (5-8) provided on a wheel (1-4) of a vehicle (V), as part of a procedure for location by correlation between measurements provided by an angular sensor (9) incorporated in said electronic casing and measurements provided by a speed sensor (13-16) mounted on the vehicle (V) proximate to said wheel, said transmission method comprising:
- using an electronic casing (5-8) which is programmed to carry out, per wheel turn, x transmissions commanded for x angular positions offset from each other by predetermined angular values, and in that, during each sending operation;
determining a fixed angular position of the electronic casing (5-8), to which position is assigned the reference angular position function for determining the x transmission angular positions of said electronic casing,and transmitting a burst of n identification signals sent consecutively for transmission successive angular positions of the electronic casing (5-8), each of said signals being formulated according to one of the n protocols and including the code for identifying the electronic casing (5-8) and data for identifying the transmission angular position thereof.

Abstract
A method for transmitting n identification signals (P1-P4) formulated according to n different protocols, using an electronic casing (6) provided on a wheel (2) of a vehicle, as part of an angular correlation locating procedure. An electronic casing (6) is used, which is programmed to carry out, per wheel turn, x transmissions commanded for x angular positions offset from each other by predetermined angular values and, during each sending operation, a fixed angular position of the electronic casing (6) is determined, to which position is assigned the reference angular position function for determining the x transmission angular positions of the electronic casing, and a burst of n identification signals sent consecutively for transmission successive angular positions of the electronic casing (6) is transmitted, each of the signals being formulated according to one of the n protocols and including data for identifying the electronic casing and the transmission angular position thereof.
