Maintenance of correct tire pressure
First Claim
1. An apparatus for setting inflation pressure used to support a vehicle comprising a tire, said apparatus comprising:
- an air dispensary,a transponder, anda data-processing system that hosts a cloud-based application,wherein said transponder is coupled to said air dispensary,wherein said transponder is coupled to said hosted application,wherein said transponder is configured to receive, from said vehicle, a wireless transmission having first information,wherein said hosted application is configured to receive said first information by interrogating a wireless identifier associated with said first tire, and to obtain, based at least in part on said first information, second information,wherein said first information comprises information from which an appropriate inflation pressure for said first tire is obtainable, andwherein said second information comprises information indicative of an appropriate inflation pressure for said first tire that is to be provided to said air dispensary to cause said air dispensary to set a target pressure and to dispense air into said tire until pressure in said tire reaches a target pressure.

Abstract
An apparatus for setting inflation pressure used to support a vehicle comprising a tire includes an air dispensary, a transponder, and a data-processing system. The transponder is coupled to the air dispensary and to the data-processing system. It receives, from the vehicle, a wireless transmission having first information. The data-processing system executes a host process that receives the first information, and that obtains, based at least in part on the first information, second information. The first information comprises information from which an appropriate inflation pressure for the first tire is obtainable. The second information comprises information indicative of an appropriate inflation pressure for the first tire.

10. A process for setting inflation pressure used to support a vehicle comprising a first tire, said process comprising causing a data-processing system that is hosting a cloud-based hosted application to execute the steps of:
- receiving first information that has been wirelessly sent to said cloud-based hosted application by an air dispensary that has received said first information from a transponder at said air dispensary after having interrogated a wireless identifier associated with said first tire, at said hosted application, obtaining second information based at least in part on said first information, transmitting said second information to said air dispensary, and said air dispensary setting a target pressure based at least in part on said second information and dispensing air into said tire until pressure in said tire reaches said target pressure as a result of having received said second information, wherein said first information comprises information from which an appropriate inflation pressure for said first tire is obtainable, and wherein said second information comprises information indicative of an appropriate inflation pressure for said first tire.
