Abstract

A method for transmitting data is applied to a receiver and a plurality of transmitters. The steps comprise respectively transmitting a data to the receiver at different first transmission times within a transmission interval by the transmitters. Next, the different first transmission times are respectively added with different accumulated values to become the different second transmission times. The different accumulated values are respectively added with a multiple of the different first transmission times. Finally, the transmitters respectively transmit a next data to the receiver at the different second transmission times within a next transmission interval.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting data, from a plurality of transmitters to a receiver comprising:

respectively transmitting first data from the plurality of transmitters to the receiver at transmission times in terms of different prime numbers within a transmission interval;

respectively adding a multiplication of a predetermined multiplier multiplying the transmission times in terms of the different prime numbers and corresponding predetermined different first accumulated values together to derive different second accumulated values for the transmitters;

respectively transmitting second data from the transmitters to the receiver at transmission times in terms of the different second accumulated values within the transmission interval;

respectively adding the different transmission times in terms of the different second accumulated values and the corresponding different second accumulated values together to derive different third accumulated values for the transmitters; and

respectively transmitting third data from the transmitters to the receiver at transmission times in terms of the different third accumulated values within the transmission interval.

2. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a step of determining whether the different transmission times in terms of the different second accumulated values and the different transmission times in terms of the different third accumulated values are within the transmitting interval.

3. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 2, wherein the different transmission times in terms of the second accumulated values and the different transmission times in terms of the third accumulated values respectively minus the transmission interval when the different transmission times in terms of the second accumulated values and the different transmission times in terms of the third accumulated values are outside the transmission interval.

4. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmitters are associated with different identification codes for identifying the first data, the second data, and the third data.

5. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 1, wherein the different first accumulated values are respectively equal to the different prime numbers.

6. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first data, the second data, and the third data are tire pressure data.

7. A method for transmitting data, from a plurality of transmitters to a receiver, comprising:

respectively transmitting first data from the transmitters to the receiver at different first transmission times within a transmission interval;

respectively adding the different first transmission times and different accumulated values together to derive different second transmission times;

respectively adding the different accumulated values and a multiplication of a predetermined multiplier multiplying the different first transmission times together; and

respectively transmitting second data from the transmitters to the receiver at the different second transmission times within the transmission interval.

8. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first transmission times are set to different prime numbers.

9. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a step of determining whether the different second transmission times are within the transmission interval.

10. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 9, wherein the different second transmission times respectively minus the transmission interval when the different second transmission times are outside the transmission interval.

11. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 7, wherein the transmitters are associated with different identification codes, respectively, for identifying the first data and the second data.

12. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 7, wherein the different accumulated values are respectively equal to the different first transmission times.

13. The method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first data and the second data are tire pressure data.
