Method and device for associating an electronic wheel unit, which is assigned to a wheel, with a side of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of associating an electronic wheel unit with a side of a motor vehicle, wherein the electronic wheel unit is assigned to a wheel of the motor vehicle and is configured to ascertain at least one characteristic parameter of the wheel, the method which comprises:
- determining a direction of rotation of a wheel with an associated wheel unit;
comparing the direction of rotation of the wheel determined by the wheel unit with a direction of rotation of another wheel determined with a respectively associated wheel unit to form a comparison result, wherein the wheel and the other wheel are mounted on mutually different sides of the motor vehicle on a shared axle; and
depending on the comparison result, associating the wheel unit on a basis of a first procedure for associating the wheel unit with the side of the vehicle or on a basis of a second procedure for associating the wheel unit with the side of the vehicle, wherein the first procedure for associating the wheel unit utilizes the direction of rotation determined by the wheel unit, and the second procedure is independent of the direction of rotation determined by the wheel unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for assigning an electronic wheel unit, which is assigned to a wheel of a vehicle and is for ascertaining at least one characteristic parameter of the wheel, to a side of the vehicle. In this case, a direction of rotation of the wheel is determined by means of the wheel unit. The direction of rotation of the wheel which is determined by means of the wheel unit is compared with a direction of rotation of another wheel which is determined by means of another wheel unit assigned to the other wheel, wherein the wheel and the other wheel are arranged on different sides of the vehicle on a shared axle. Depending on the comparison of the determined directions of rotation of the wheel and of the other wheel, the wheel unit is assigned on the basis of a first procedure for assigning the wheel unit to the side of the vehicle or on the basis of a second procedure for assigning the wheel unit to the side of the vehicle. In this case, the direction of rotation determined by the wheel unit is utilized in the first procedure, and the second procedure is independent of the direction of rotation determined by the wheel unit.

12. A device for associating an electronic wheel unit with a side of a motor vehicle, wherein the electronic wheel unit is assigned to a wheel of the motor vehicle and is configured to ascertain at least one characteristic parameter of the wheel, the device comprising:
-
a control unit configured to; control a determination, by way of a wheel unit, of a direction of rotation of a wheel; compare the direction of rotation of the wheel determined by way of the wheel unit with a direction of rotation of another wheel determined by way of another wheel unit assigned to the other wheel, wherein the wheel and the other wheel are mounted on mutually different sides of the vehicle on a shared axle; and depending on the comparison of the direction of rotation of the wheel with the direction of rotation of the other wheel, assign the wheel unit on the basis of a first procedure for assigning the wheel unit to a side of the vehicle or on the basis of a second procedure for assigning the wheel unit to a side of the vehicle; and wherein said control unit utilizes the direction of rotation determined by the wheel unit in the first procedure, and said control unit performs the second procedure independent of the direction of rotation determined by way of the wheel unit.
