Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive electronic equipment technology, specifically to a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation activation system and method. Background Technology

[0002] With the current trend in automotive safety technology, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) have become standard equipment in most vehicles. This system uses built-in tire pressure sensors to collect tire pressure and temperature data in real time. Once an abnormality is detected, it immediately issues a warning, effectively preventing tire blowouts caused by improper tire pressure and significantly improving driving safety. However, tire pressure sensors have a limited lifespan and may fail due to accidental damage, requiring timely replacement to ensure the system's continued effectiveness. During replacement, the new sensor needs to undergo a specific programming and activation process to match the original vehicle's communication protocol, enabling the vehicle's central control system to accurately recognize and connect to the new sensor.

[0003] While tire pressure sensing systems are crucial for improving driving safety, this relatively niche and specialized market has a limited number of participating companies, directly leading to a scarcity and limitations of tire pressure sensor diagnostic equipment on the market. Currently, most mainstream solutions rely on comprehensive "vehicle diagnostic tools," which are originally designed to cover fault diagnosis across the entire vehicle system, thus integrating tire pressure sensor diagnostic and programming functions as an add-on. However, this "all-encompassing" design approach results in high operational complexity and high costs, and due to a lack of targeted optimization, the user experience is less than ideal.

[0004] More critically, existing vehicle diagnostic tools often lack network communication modules, and their software programs and databases are typically pre-installed internally. This not only increases the risk of local data leakage but also limits the device's compatibility with future vehicle brands and models. With the continuous advancement of automotive technology and the rapid iteration of vehicle models, this static data storage method can no longer meet the ever-increasing demand for updated programming data, severely impacting the device's practicality and long-term value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation system and method to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems. It aims to overcome the limitations of existing equipment through innovative design and improve the efficiency and safety of tire pressure sensor replacement and programming.

[0022] The tire pressure sensor programmer writes the ID of the original vehicle sensor into the tire pressure sensor; or...

[0023] The tire pressure sensor programmer queries the sensor information database, automatically generates a sensor ID according to the rules in the sensor information database, and writes it to the tire pressure sensor.

[0024] Furthermore, the system also includes a vehicle OBD module; when the ID of the tire pressure sensor is different from the ID of the original vehicle sensor and cannot be learned through static learning and self-learning, the tire pressure programming module writes the ID of the tire pressure sensor to the vehicle central control system through the vehicle OBD module.

[0025] A method for activating a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter, applied to any of the vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter activation systems described above, the method comprising the following steps:

[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application of a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1-2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation activation system includes: a mobile communication device 1, a tire pressure programming module 2, a tire pressure sensor programmer 3, a tire pressure sensor 4, and a cloud module 6.

[0043] Tire pressure programming module 2 includes tire pressure programming software set on mobile communication device 1. Tire pressure programming module 2 sends the original vehicle sensor information originally used to measure vehicle tire pressure to cloud module 6.

[0044] The cloud module 6 matches the corresponding target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program based on the original vehicle sensor information and sends it to the tire pressure programming module 2. The tire pressure programming module 2 sends control commands to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 based on the target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program.

[0045] The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 writes data to the tire pressure sensor 4 according to the control instructions, and sends the feedback results of the tire pressure sensor 4 to the cloud module 6 through the tire pressure programming module 2.

[0046] Preferably, the mobile communication device 1 has built-in network communication function, Bluetooth communication module, storage function and screen display function.

[0047] In this embodiment, the vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation system integrates several key components, including a mobile communication device 1, a tire pressure programming module 2, a tire pressure sensor programmer 3, a tire pressure sensor 4, and a cloud module 6, aiming to provide users with an efficient and convenient tire pressure sensor adaptation and activation solution. The system uses the mobile communication device 1 as its core operating platform. The mobile communication device 1 can directly use common technologies such as mobile phones or tablets. The mobile communication device 1 not only has powerful network communication capabilities, enabling real-time data exchange with the cloud module 6, but also has a Bluetooth communication module, enabling data exchange with the tire pressure sensor programmer 3. It also has ample built-in storage space and a clear screen display function, allowing users to easily view operation progress and system information. The tire pressure programming module 2, as key software on the mobile communication device 1, undertakes important tasks such as communicating with the cloud module 6, sending original vehicle sensor information, and receiving and processing target tire pressure sensor communication protocol programs from the cloud. The cloud module 6 possesses a sensor information database, capable of quickly matching and returning the corresponding target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program based on the received original vehicle sensor information. This process greatly improves the system's compatibility and flexibility, enabling users to easily find suitable tire pressure sensor communication protocols for different brands and models of vehicles. The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 exchanges data with the tire pressure sensor 4 wirelessly, and writes data to the tire pressure sensor 4 according to control commands sent by the tire pressure programming module 2. During this process, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 monitors and provides feedback on the writing results in real time, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data writing. The cloud module 6 can also continuously update and improve the sensor information database according to the user's actual needs, ensuring that the system can continuously provide users with high-quality services.

[0048] The vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation system proposed in this invention has the advantages of simple operation, strong compatibility, high level of intelligence, and low cost, and can provide users with an efficient and convenient tire pressure sensor adaptation and activation solution.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of tire pressure programming software according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a cloud module according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a cloud module according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 . Figure 3-5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the tire pressure programming module 2 sends the original vehicle sensor information used to measure vehicle tire pressure to the cloud module 6, including:

[0050] The tire pressure programming module 2 activates the original vehicle sensors, obtains the ID information of the original vehicle sensors, and sends it to the cloud module 6;

[0051] or,

[0052] The tire pressure programming module 2 uploads photos of the original vehicle sensors to the cloud module 6. The cloud module 6 analyzes the photos, automatically identifies the original vehicle sensor manufacturer information, and obtains the corresponding target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program.

[0053] or,

[0054] By manually inputting the part number of the original vehicle sensor through the tire pressure programming software, the cloud module 6 queries the sensor information database based on the part number of the original vehicle sensor, automatically identifies the original vehicle sensor manufacturer information, and obtains the corresponding target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program.

[0055] Preferably, the cloud module 6 includes a sensor information database; the sensor information database records the operation data of the vehicle tire pressure sensor in each operation, including the vehicle models that the sensor part number can be matched with, the torque value of the vehicle's tire nuts and the sensor printing number, as well as the tire pressure sensor communication protocol program corresponding to each original vehicle sensor.

[0056] In this embodiment, the tire pressure programming module 2 and the cloud module 6 work together to achieve intelligent processing and programming of vehicle tire pressure sensor information. Specifically, this solution has multiple flexible information collection methods to adapt to different scenario requirements.

[0057] First, the tire pressure programming module 2 activates the original vehicle sensors via the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 and automatically captures their ID information. This crucial data is then sent to the cloud module 6 for further processing. This method is direct and efficient, especially suitable for vehicles already equipped with ID-identifying sensors.

[0058] To address the limitation in obtaining sensor ID information, an alternative information input method can be used: the tire pressure programming module 2 can take photos of the original vehicle's sensors using the camera built into the mobile communication device 1 and upload these photos to the cloud module 6. The cloud module 6 utilizes advanced image recognition technology to perform in-depth analysis of the photos, automatically identifying key information such as the vehicle's brand, model, and production year, thereby indirectly obtaining relevant sensor data. This method broadens the information sources and improves the system's compatibility and usability.

[0059] In addition to the two methods mentioned above, the tire pressure monitoring module 2 also provides a manual input option, allowing users to directly input the part number of the original vehicle's sensors through the tire pressure monitoring software. Upon receiving the part number, the cloud module 6 immediately accesses its built-in sensor information database. This database records detailed matching information between various sensor part numbers and their corresponding vehicle models, tire nut torque values, sensor serial numbers, and specific tire pressure sensor communication protocol programs. Through this step, the system can accurately identify and configure suitable programming parameters for the sensor, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the tire pressure monitoring system.

[0060] The sensor information database of Cloud Module 6 not only stores a wealth of historical operation data, but is also continuously updated to cover the latest vehicle models and sensor technologies. This provides great convenience to users, while also ensuring the long-term applicability and advanced nature of the software.

[0061] This invention achieves intelligent acquisition and processing of vehicle tire pressure sensor information through the collaborative operation of the tire pressure programming module and the cloud module. It not only supports an efficient way to directly activate the sensor to obtain ID information, but also provides diverse information acquisition methods such as photo upload and manual input of part numbers. Combined with the powerful sensor information database of the cloud module, it ensures the accuracy and adaptability of the tire pressure monitoring system programming, greatly improves the user experience and system compatibility, and maintains the long-term advanced nature and practicality of the software.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 includes a communication unit for wireless communication with the original vehicle sensor, the tire pressure sensor 4 and the mobile communication device 1.

[0063] Preferably, the communication distance of the communication unit is 1 meter.

[0064] Preferably, the communication unit supports Bluetooth communication, Wi-Fi communication, and Zigbee communication.

[0065] In this embodiment, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 includes a communication unit that supports multiple wireless frequency bands, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee. It has the capability to wirelessly communicate with the original vehicle sensors, tire pressure sensors 4, and mobile communication device 1, ensuring the stability and flexibility of data transmission. The optimized design of the communication unit allows for a communication distance of approximately 1 meter, ensuring ease of operation while effectively avoiding signal interference and preventing accidental triggering of another tire. Each tire pressure sensor 4 is equipped with a unique ID device number, ensuring accurate identification and pairing even when sensors of the same vehicle model are nearby. The tire pressure sensors 4 not only support wireless communication across multiple frequency bands but also have unlimited rewriting capabilities, greatly enhancing their applicability and durability. With its powerful software rewriting and activation functions, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 can easily activate the original vehicle sensors and obtain their ID information, while simultaneously supporting the programming of up to 20 sensors, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0066] The tire pressure sensor programmer of this invention integrates a communication unit that supports multiple wireless frequency bands, enabling stable and flexible wireless communication with original vehicle sensors, tire pressure sensors, and mobile communication devices. Its communication distance of approximately 1 meter ensures convenient operation and avoids signal interference. Combined with the unique ID number of the tire pressure sensor, it ensures accurate identification and pairing. In addition, the unlimited erasure and rewrite function and powerful software program erasure, rewrite, and activation capabilities support simultaneous programming of up to 20 sensors, significantly improving work efficiency and applicability.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 writes data to the tire pressure sensor 4 according to control commands, including:

[0068] Tire pressure sensor programmer 3 writes the ID of the original vehicle sensor into tire pressure sensor 4;

[0069] or,

[0070] The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 queries the sensor information database, automatically generates a sensor ID according to the rules in the sensor information database, and writes it to the tire pressure sensor 4.

[0071] Preferably, the system further includes: a vehicle OBD module 5; when the ID of the tire pressure sensor 4 is different from the ID of the original vehicle sensor and cannot be learned through static learning and self-learning, the tire pressure programming module 2 writes the ID of the tire pressure sensor 4 to the vehicle central control system through the vehicle OBD module 5.

[0072] In this embodiment, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 possesses efficient and flexible data writing capabilities. When the original vehicle sensor ID is available, the programmer 3 can directly write the original sensor ID into the new tire pressure sensor 4. When the original vehicle sensor ID is unavailable, the programmer 3, with the support of a sensor information database, can automatically generate and write a sensor ID that conforms to the rules, preserving the same ID rules so the original vehicle can recognize it, while ensuring that the sensor ID is not duplicated. Simultaneously, when the ID of the new tire pressure sensor 4 does not match the original vehicle ID, and the vehicle does not support static or automatic learning of new devices, the programmer 3 transmits the new device (new tire pressure sensor 4) data to the vehicle's central control center via the vehicle's OBD module 5, enabling the vehicle to recognize and authenticate the new device. Furthermore, this solution incorporates a built-in duplicate warning mechanism to effectively avoid ID duplication. If the original vehicle sensor is activatable, the programmer can directly obtain its ID and write it; if it is not activatable, it can read the sensor's printed ID or generate a new ID according to the rules and write it. Specifically, each tire pressure sensor chip has a unique original ID. Combined with vehicle ID rules in the database, this ensures that the generated IDs both meet vehicle identification requirements and avoid duplication. Simultaneously, the cloud system can query existing IDs, further reducing the probability of duplication and ensuring the uniqueness and accuracy of each tire pressure sensor ID.

[0073] The tire pressure sensor programmer of this invention directly writes the original vehicle sensor ID or automatically generates a compliant ID and writes it to the new sensor. Combined with the vehicle's OBD module, it realizes the identification and authentication of new devices. It has a built-in duplicate reminder mechanism to avoid ID conflicts. At the same time, it uses the unique original ID of each sensor and cloud query function to ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of each tire pressure sensor ID, thus realizing efficient, flexible, safe and reliable tire pressure sensor data writing and management.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter activation system includes: a mobile communication device 1, a tire pressure programming module 2, a tire pressure sensor programmer 3, a tire pressure sensor 4, a vehicle OBD module 5, and a cloud module 6.

[0076] The functions of each part are as follows:

[0077] Mobile communication device 1

[0078] Mobile phones or tablets, for example, have more powerful built-in network communication capabilities, Bluetooth communication capabilities, storage capabilities, and screen display capabilities than the vehicle fault diagnostic tools used in existing technologies.

[0079] Tire pressure programming module 2

[0080] The tire pressure programming module 2 includes tire pressure programming software, which is operated on the mobile communication device 1. For example, the tire pressure programming software uses the camera on the mobile communication device 1 to take a picture of the original vehicle sensor. The tire pressure programming module 2 uploads the picture to the cloud module 6, which automatically identifies the vehicle model and year of the sensor based on its appearance and part number. Alternatively, the user can manually enter the part number of the original vehicle sensor, select the vehicle brand, model, and year on the tire pressure programming software. The tire pressure programming module 2 then retrieves the corresponding tire pressure sensor communication protocol program from the cloud module 6. Based on the obtained tire pressure sensor communication protocol program, the tire pressure programming software sends instructions to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3, instructing the programmer 3 to write data to the tire pressure sensor 4. The tire pressure programming module 2 records the read and write data and uploads it to the cloud program for storage. Users can also query records from the cloud program by operating the tire pressure programming software on the mobile communication device 1.

[0081] Tire pressure sensor programmer 3

[0082] The dedicated tire pressure sensor programmer 3 is specifically developed for the diagnosis, programming, adaptation, and activation of tire pressure sensors 4, offering more powerful functions and a more convenient operating environment. The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 features Bluetooth and wireless communication units, allowing connection to mobile phones (mobile communication devices 1) and tire pressure sensors 4. The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 has software program writing and activation functions, enabling activation of original vehicle sensors to obtain sensor IDs; it can support simultaneous programming of 20 sensors, improving efficiency.

[0083] Tire pressure sensor 4

[0084] Each tire pressure sensor 4 has a unique ID device number to avoid misidentification with nearby sensors of the same vehicle model. The tire pressure sensor 4 supports multiple frequency bands such as 433 and 315 for wireless communication and supports unlimited rewriting.

[0085] Vehicle OBD module 5

[0086] After the new tire pressure sensor 4 is written with data, if the sensor ID is inconsistent with the original ID, and the original vehicle does not support static learning and automatic learning, the data of the new device (the new tire pressure sensor 4) needs to be transmitted to the vehicle's central control center via the vehicle's OBD module 5 so that the vehicle can recognize and authenticate the new device. Some vehicles have an adaptive self-recognition function for new devices, so this operation is not required.

[0087] Cloud Module 6

[0088] Cloud module 6 includes a cloud program that records data from each operation and builds a database for later retrieval. The database also guides operators on correct procedures. Examples include: accessing learning guides, querying sensor part numbers compatible with the same vehicle model, sensor ID location photos, compatible vehicle models for each sensor part number, tire nut torque values, and sensor printing numbers.

[0089] This invention has significant advantages over existing "vehicle fault diagnostic tools". Specifically:

[0090] 1. Cost-effectiveness and performance improvement: The tire pressure sensor programmer effectively reduces costs by simplifying component design, such as eliminating the display screen. At the same time, utilizing the high-definition display of a mobile phone or tablet not only provides a clearer image but also enhances overall performance and professional functions.

[0091] 2. Cloud Data Interaction and Protocol Updates: The tire pressure sensor programmer has a built-in Bluetooth module, enabling easy connection to smartphones / tablets with internet communication capabilities. This design allows the programmer to download the latest data from the cloud in real time via mobile communication devices, updating the vehicle communication protocol promptly and greatly enhancing its adaptability to different vehicles.

[0092] 3. Unrestricted Communication Distance and User-Friendly Operating Environment: Thanks to Bluetooth protocol support, the communication distance between the tire pressure sensor programmer and the tire pressure sensor in this invention is no longer limited, providing operators with a more relaxed and user-friendly working environment. In contrast, traditional vehicle diagnostic tools require close contact between the two devices when reading and writing tire pressure sensor data, making operation inconvenient.

[0093] 4. Highly Efficient Barcode Scanning and Photo Recognition Functions: This invention fully utilizes the barcode scanning and photo-taking functions of mobile phones and tablets, enabling quick and accurate identification of information such as the ID number, part number, and printing number of the tire pressure sensor. This improvement not only increases work efficiency but also effectively avoids operational errors caused by manual input mistakes.

[0094] 5. Multiple methods for reading tire pressure sensor ID numbers and device codes: The vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter activation system proposed in this invention provides the following multiple efficient and accurate methods for reading tire pressure sensor ID numbers and device codes: (1) VIN scanning and matching: Users can scan the vehicle's VIN, and the system will automatically identify and recommend the corresponding communication protocol, simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency. (2) Manual selection of brand and model: Under the guidance of the mobile APP tire pressure programming software, users can manually select the communication protocol according to the vehicle's brand and model. This method is highly flexible and applicable to various vehicle models and needs. (3) Original vehicle sensor information scanning: By scanning the part number and ID number of the original vehicle tire pressure sensor, the system can quickly call and apply the corresponding communication protocol to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. (4) Manual input of ID number: For special or emergency situations, users can manually input the ID number of the original vehicle sensor for writing, which enhances the system's compatibility and flexibility. (5) Sensor activation and ID recognition: This invention supports the activation of the original vehicle tire pressure sensor and automatically identifies its ID according to the protocol rules without additional operation, further improving the convenience and intelligence of operation.

[0095] This invention demonstrates significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, performance improvement, cloud data interaction, communication distance, and recognition efficiency, providing a brand-new solution for programming, adapting, and activating vehicle tire pressure sensors.

Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter activation method is applied to any vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adapter activation system of the present invention. The method includes the following steps:

[0098] In step S102, the mobile communication device 1 loads the tire pressure programming software of the tire pressure programming module 2 and sends an activation command to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 by operating the tire pressure programming software.

[0099] Step S104: The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 obtains the original vehicle sensor information according to the activation command and feeds it back to the mobile communication device 1;

[0100] Step S106: The mobile communication device 1 sends the original vehicle sensor information to the cloud module 6.

[0102] In step S110, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 writes data to the tire pressure sensor 4 according to the control command, and sends the feedback result of the tire pressure sensor 4 to the cloud module 6 through the tire pressure programming module 2.

[0103] In this embodiment, the vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation method aims to achieve rapid and accurate programming and activation of vehicle tire pressure sensors through intelligent means. This method is applicable to any of the vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation systems of this invention. The mobile communication device 1 serves as the user interface and is loaded with tire pressure programming software. After the user issues an activation command through the tire pressure programming software, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 responds to this command, collecting and feeding back information from the original vehicle sensors to the mobile communication device 1. Subsequently, the mobile communication device 1 uploads this information to the cloud module 6. Based on the received information, the cloud module 6 intelligently matches and sends a target tire pressure sensor communication protocol program that matches the target tire pressure sensor to the tire pressure programming module 2 on the mobile communication device 1. The tire pressure programming module 2 then sends specific control commands to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3, which in turn writes data to the new tire pressure sensor 4 according to these commands, such as writing the sensor ID and other necessary information. After the entire process is completed, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 also feeds back the operation results to the tire pressure programming module 2, and records and verifies them through the cloud module 6 to ensure the success and accuracy of programming and activation.

[0104] The vehicle tire pressure sensor programming adaptation and activation method of the present invention achieves intelligent, fast and accurate programming and activation of vehicle tire pressure sensors through the collaborative work of mobile communication devices, tire pressure sensor programmers and cloud modules, ensuring the correct matching and writing of sensor information. At the same time, the reliability and accuracy of the whole process are improved by recording and verifying in the cloud.

[0109] Step S203: The original vehicle sensor returns the operation result to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3;

[0110] In step S204, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 then feeds back the result to the tire pressure programming module 2 on the mobile communication device 1;

[0116] In step S210, the tire pressure sensor 4 feeds back the programming result to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3;

[0117] In step S211, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 then feeds back the operation result to the mobile communication device 1;

[0118] Step S212: Mobile communication device 1 sends a write ID command to vehicle OBD module 5;

[0119] Step S213: The vehicle OBD module 5 writes an ID to the vehicle central control system according to the command.

[0120] In step S214, the vehicle central control system sends the write ID result back to the vehicle OBD module 5;

[0121] In step S215, the vehicle OBD module 5 sends the operation result back to the mobile communication device 1.

[0122] This embodiment proposes a method for programming, adapting, and activating a vehicle tire pressure sensor, applicable to any of the vehicle tire pressure sensor programming, adapting, and activating systems of this invention. This system includes a mobile communication device 1, a tire pressure programming module 2, a tire pressure sensor programmer 3, a tire pressure sensor 4, a vehicle OBD module 5, and a cloud module 6. Through the coordinated operation of these modules, rapid and accurate adaptation and activation of the tire pressure sensor are achieved. The method includes: the mobile communication device 1 (such as a smartphone or tablet) sends an activation command to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 through the tire pressure programming module 2. This step is crucial for initiating the entire adaptation and activation process. After receiving the activation command, the tire pressure sensor programmer 3 begins activating the original vehicle sensor. This step is to confirm the status of the original vehicle sensor, preparing for subsequent programming. After the original vehicle sensor completes activation, it returns the operation result to the tire pressure sensor programmer 3. The tire pressure sensor programmer 3 then feeds this result back to the tire pressure programming module 2 on the mobile communication device 1. The mobile communication device 1 uploads the received operation result to the cloud module 6. The cloud module 6, acting as a data processing center, further analyzes and processes this information. Based on the uploaded activation results, cloud module 6 determines the type of tire pressure sensor using algorithm analysis. This step is fundamental for subsequent programming operations. Cloud module 6 feeds back the determined tire pressure sensor type to mobile communication device 1 for subsequent programming command transmission. Mobile communication device 1 sends the corresponding programming command to tire pressure sensor programmer 3 based on the tire pressure sensor type fed back by cloud module 6. After receiving the programming command, tire pressure sensor programmer 3 programs tire pressure sensor 4. After programming, tire pressure sensor 4 feeds back the programming result to tire pressure sensor programmer 3, which then feeds back the result to mobile communication device 1. Based on the programming result, mobile communication device 1 sends a write ID command to vehicle OBD module 5. This step is to write the information of tire pressure sensor 4 into the vehicle's central control system, enabling the central control system to recognize the new ID. After receiving the write ID command, vehicle OBD module 5 performs the write ID operation on the vehicle's central control system. After completion, the vehicle's central control system feeds back the write ID result to vehicle OBD module 5, which then feeds back the operation result to mobile communication device 1.

[0123] This invention automates the tire pressure sensor adaptation and activation process by coordinating mobile communication devices, a tire pressure sensor programming module, a tire pressure sensor programmer, a cloud module, and the vehicle's OBD module, reducing manual intervention. The cloud module uses algorithm analysis to determine the tire pressure sensor type, improving the accuracy and compatibility of programming commands. Users can complete the tire pressure sensor adaptation and activation operation solely through a mobile communication device, requiring no specialized knowledge or complex operations. This invention provides an efficient, accurate, and convenient solution for the adaptation and activation of vehicle tire pressure sensors.
