Abstract

A method for the configuration of a tyre pressure sensor for a vehicle, including the following steps: production of a data communication connection between a mobile radio device and a tyre pressure sensor, selection of at least one specific sensor parameter for the vehicle via a mobile radio device, and activation of the at least one selected sensor parameter and the tyre pressure sensor.

Claims

1-11. -11. (canceled)

12. A method for the configuration of a tyre pressure sensor for a vehicle, comprising:

producing a data communication connection between a mobile radio device and a tyre pressure sensor,

selecting at least one specific sensor parameter for the vehicle via a mobile radio device,

activating the at least one selected sensor parameter and the tyre pressure senor, wherein the data communication connection is established as a wireless connection.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the data communication connection is established in a direct manner with the tyre pressure sensor.

14. The method according to claim 12, wherein the data communication connection is established in an indirect manner via a control device of the vehicle.

15. The method according to claim 12, wherein the selection of at least one sensor parameter specific for the vehicle occurs from a memory unit of the tyre pressure sensor.

16. The method according to claim 12, wherein the selection of the at least one sensor parameter specific for a vehicle occurs from a database in which the respective sensor parameter is saved.

17. The method according to claim 12, wherein the selection of at least two sensor parameters specific for the vehicle occurs commonly via a selection of the vehicle.

18. The method according to claim 12, wherein the method steps of the establishment of the data communication connection, the selection of at least one sensor parameter and the activation of the at least one selected sensor parameter occurs after mounting of the tyre pressure sensor on a wheel rim.

19. The method according to claim 12, wherein the data communication connection between the mobile radio device and at least two tyre pressure sensors of different wheels of a vehicle is generated for a common configuration of this tyre pressure sensors.

23. Method according to claim 12, wherein the data communication connection is established on basis of at least one of the following radio standards:
