Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) lack flexibility and convenience in replacing tire pressure detectors, as users must seek specific service centers equipped with manufacturer-specific setting apparatus to update identification codes, limiting the ease of replacing failed detectors.

Innovation Solution

A tire pressure detecting apparatus with an identification rewriteable tire pressure detector and a setting apparatus that allows direct copying of identification from a failed detector to a new one, using a micro-processing module, sensing module, transmitting module, and receiving interface, enabling easy replacement without requiring manufacturer-specific tools.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manufacturer-specific setting apparatus is used to update identification codes, then identification accuracy is maintained, but device complexity and service center requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidservice center requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The setting apparatus is designed with universal compatibility to work with multiple different tire pressure detector models from various manufacturers. The device can read, write, and copy identification codes across different detector types without requiring manufacturer-specific tools, thereby reducing service center requirements while maintaining identification accuracy through standardized communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The setting apparatus directly copies identification codes from old tire pressure detectors to new ones through wireless communication. This copying mechanism preserves the exact identification data without requiring complex reprogramming or manufacturer-specific procedures, simplifying the replacement process while ensuring accurate identification transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If manufacturer-specific setting apparatus is required, then identification code security is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification code securityVSAvoiddetector replacement convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The setting apparatus enables users to perform identification code transfers themselves without needing specialized service centers. The device automatically reads the identification code from the old detector, stores it securely, and writes it to the new detector through a simple user-initiated process, making the system self-serviceable while maintaining security through controlled access procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The identification code is copied directly from the old detector to the new one through secure wireless communication. This copying process maintains security by transferring only the necessary identification data through encrypted channels, while greatly simplifying the operation for the user who only needs to follow basic steps without specialized knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If identification is fixed in tire pressure detector, then manufacturing precision is maintained, but adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification recording accuracyVSAvoiddetector replacement flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The setting apparatus is prepared in advance with the capability to read, store, and write identification codes. Users can perform identification transfers at any time during the detector replacement process without needing to contact manufacturers or visit service centers. This preliminary preparation of the setting apparatus enables flexible, on-demand identification updates while maintaining manufacturing precision through accurate code transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The identification code in the tire pressure detector is changed from a fixed, non-modifiable parameter to a reconfigurable one. The setting apparatus enables the identification parameter to be updated by reading it from the old detector and writing it to the new detector, thereby transforming the rigid fixed identification into an adaptable parameter that can be modified during replacement while preserving the precision of the original identification data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A tire pressure detecting apparatus has an identification rewriteable tire pressure detector and a setting apparatus. The tire pressure detector is securely mounted on a valve stem inside a tire of a vehicle and has a micro-processing module, a sensing module, a transmitting module and a receiving interface, where the micro-processing module has a memory unit. The setting apparatus is capable of reading or inputting an identification from a failure tire pressure detector, transmits the identification to the identification rewriteable tire pressure detector and writes the identification into the memory unit.
