System and method for tire pressure monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for associating a tire pressure sensor positioned within a tire to a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a receiver coupled to the vehicle, the receiver being configured to;
store a set of unique identifiers that are associated with tires of the vehicle,receive a pairing request signal indicative of a request to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver, andtransmit a unique member of the set of unique identifiers that is associated with a first tire of the vehicle in response to the pairing request signal; and
a transmitter of the tire pressure sensor configured to transmit the pairing request signal and to store the unique member of the set of unique identifiers received from the receiver to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver.

Abstract
A system and method for tire pressure monitoring. The system includes a receiver having a storage memory, and a transmitter corresponding to a tire. The storage memory includes a set of unique identifier. The transmitter includes a programmable memory. The receiver is configured to receive a signal, determine when the signal corresponds to a member of the set of unique identifiers, and process the signal when the signal corresponds to a member of the set of unique identifiers. The transmitter is configured to receive a unique member of the set of unique identifiers, store the unique member in the programmable memory, and transmit a signal corresponding to the unique member and the air pressure in the tire.

8. A method for associating a tire pressure sensor positioned within a tire to a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
storing a set of unique identifiers that are indicative of a position of at least one tire of the vehicle in a receiver, receiving, at the receiver, a pairing request signal indicative of a request to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver, and transmitting, from the receiver, a unique member of the set of unique identifiers that is indicative of the position of a first tire of the vehicle in response to the pairing request signal; transmitting, from a transmitter of the tire pressure sensor, the pairing request signal; and storing the unique member of the set of unique identifiers received from the receiver within the transmitter to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for associating a tire pressure sensor positioned within a tire to a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
storing a set of unique identifiers that are associated with tires of the vehicle in a receiver, transmitting a control signal indicative of a request to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver with a programmable device; transmitting, from the receiver, a unique member of the set of unique identifiers that is associated with a first tire of the vehicle in response to the control signal; and storing the unique member of the set of unique identifiers received from the receiver within the transmitter to associate the tire pressure sensor to the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
