Combined tire pressure monitoring and keyless entry receiver
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring conditions within a tire comprising:
- a sensor assembly disposed within each tire of a motor vehicle,a transmitter in communication with said sensor assembly to transmit a frequency shift keyed transmission indicative of current tire conditions;
a remote transmitter for actuating a remote keyless entry system, said remote transmitter emitting an amplitude shift keyed transmission to actuate a function of said keyless entry system;
a receiver assembly for receiving said frequency shift keyed transmission signal indicative of said current tire conditions and said amplitude shift keyed transmission signal to actuate a function from said remote transmitter, wherein said transmission indicative of current tire conditions includes an amplitude shift keyed wake-up signal for alerting said receiver assembly of an incoming frequency shift keyed transmission signal.

Abstract
A system for monitoring conditions within a tire (12) including a sensor assembly (14) including a pressure sensor (36), an accelerometer (34), a temperature sensor (32), and a transmitter (40) to transmit signals indicative of current tire conditions. A remote transmitter (22) for actuating a remote keyless entry system (19) emits a signal to actuate a function of the keyless entry system (19) such as unlocking doors (20) of the motor vehicle (10). A receiver assembly (16) includes an amplitude shift keyed receiver (52) and a frequency shift keyed receiver (58) selectively engagable to receive radio frequency transmissions from the tire monitoring system or the remote keyless entry system (19).
