Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring to FIG. 1, a tire pressure monitoring system 10 is shown assembled within a vehicle 12. The system 10 includes a receiver 16 that receives communications from tire pressure monitoring devices 14 assembled within each of the vehicle's tires 18. As is understood by those skilled in the art, each of the tire pressure monitoring devices 14 are assembled within the tires 18 and communicate information indicative of conditions within the tires 18 to the receiver 16. These conditions include temperature, pressure, and any other desired information that aids in the monitoring of tire conditions.

[0014]The example system 10 includes the tire pressure monitoring devices 14 that all include a memory device 26. The memory device 26 is utilized for the storage of a plurality of communication protocols 28. The communication protocols 28 include individual and unique protocols that govern operation and communication between the tire pressure monitoring device 14 and the receiver 16....

Abstract

A tire pressure monitoring device includes a memory that includes a plurality of selectable communication protocols to govern communication and operation.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 958,203 which was filed on Jul. 3, 2007.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This disclosure relates to tire pressure monitoring devices. More particularly, this disclosure relates to a universal tire pressure monitoring device and method that is adaptable for operation according to different manufacture protocols.[0003]A tire pressure monitoring device is typically mounted to a wheel within the tire and transmits information indicative of conditions within the tire. The transmissions and order of information are defined by a defined protocol corresponding to a receiver within the vehicle. Each automobile manufacturer has a unique preferred defined protocol to meet application specific needs and designs.[0004]Disadvantageously, such different and unique protocols require corresponding unique tire pressure monitoring sensors, thereby complicating maintenance and service ope...
