Vehicle Tire Pressure Filling Using Image Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for filling vehicle tires with pressurized air are often manual and lack accuracy in determining the correct tire pressure, which depends on tire and vehicle types, as well as load conditions, leading to potential errors in pressure settings.
Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing image recognition software to capture and analyze tire and vehicle images, along with tire pressure tables, to automatically determine the correct tire pressure, which can be displayed or input into a filling system, considering vehicle type, load condition, and temperature for precise filling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual methods are used for filling vehicle tires, then the operation is simple to perform, but the accuracy of determining correct tire pressure is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated optical system. Image capture devices photograph the tire pressure table, and image recognition software automatically extracts pressure data, substituting the manual reading and transcription process with optical character recognition and automated data processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing images of the tire and vehicle, recognizing the tire type and vehicle model, retrieving the correct pressure data from the pressure table image, and providing the recommended pressure without requiring manual intervention for data collection or interpretation.
2Measurement precision
If automated image recognition is used to determine tire pressure, then the accuracy of tire pressure determination is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated optical system. Image capture devices photograph the tire pressure table, and image recognition software automatically extracts pressure data, substituting the manual reading and transcription process with optical character recognition and automated data processing.
3Reliability
If manual tire pressure setting is used, then the process is quick and simple, but errors in pressure settings occur frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing images of the tire and vehicle, recognizing the tire type and vehicle model, retrieving the correct pressure data from the pressure table image, and providing the recommended pressure without requiring manual intervention for data collection or interpretation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing images of the tire pressure table and storing the pressure data in advance. When a tire needs filling, the system has already retrieved and prepared the correct pressure information, eliminating the need for manual lookup during the actual tire filling process.

AI summary
Method for filling vehicle tires with pressurized air comprising the following steps: capturing an image of a tire to be filled, in particular the side wall of a tire, determining the type of the tire of the captured tire by means of an image recognition software, capturing the image of a vehicle or part of a vehicle having the tire to be filled, in particular the number plate of the vehicle or FIN code or a bar code/ QR code or other vehicle identification means and determining the vehicle type by means of an image recognition software and/or capturing the image of a tire pressure table provided with the vehicle, reading out the tire pressure data of the table by means of a text recognition software; and determining a correct tire pressure on the basis of the determined tire type and the determined vehicle type and/or on the basis of the data of the tire pressure table, providing the correct tire pressure data to a display and/or a tire pressure filling system.
