Intelligent embedded system device for monitoring car wheel performance
First Claim
1. A tire monitoring method implemented by a tire monitoring system, the method comprising:
- collecting, at a sensor mounted to a wheel or a wheel cover of an automobile, information from signals emitted from at least one sensor mounted to another wheel cover;
collecting at a controller circuitry mounted to a wheel cover of the automobile wheel, route information from a global positioning system (GPS) receiver disposed on an automobile;
collecting at the controller circuitry time information from a clock;
analyzing at the controller circuitry collected signals, the time information, and the route information to identify at least one trigger factor based on tire characteristics;
determining at the controller circuitry whether the at least one triggering factor exceeds a triggering threshold based on the collected signals the time information and the route information;
deriving at the controller circuitry when the at least one triggering factor exceeds the triggering threshold, a triggering priority indicating an order in which the triggering factor and other triggering factors are processed based on the collected signals, time information and route information;
triggering a tire monitoring procedure based on the collected information, the triggering threshold and the triggering priority; and
displaying at a display screen results of the tire monitoring procedure and providing a visual indication of the tire characteristic that caused the triggers factor to exceed the triggering threshold.

Abstract
A monitoring system includes sensors, clocks, global positioning systems (GPS) receiver, display screens and a controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured to analyze the collected signals, the time information, and the route information to identify at least one trigger factor based on a tire characteristic; determine whether the identified at least one triggering factor exceeds an triggering threshold based on the collected signals and information; derive when the identified triggering factor exceeds the triggering threshold, an triggering priority indicating an order in which the triggering factors are processed based on the collected signals and route information; trigger a tire monitoring procedure based on the collected information, the triggering threshold and the triggering priority; and display at the display screen, results of the tire monitoring procedure to provide a visual indication of the tire characteristic that caused the triggers factor to exceed the triggering threshold.
