Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in the tire monitoring field is to efficiently match a new tire pressure sensor with a tire pressure receiver after replacement, ensuring seamless data collection and monitoring without requiring the receiver to relearn the wheel positions.

Innovation Solution

An identification configuration method and apparatus that involves sending a connection request to new tire pressure sensors, establishing communication, reading and sending identification information from the original sensor stored in the receiver, and burning this information into the new sensor, allowing it to match with the receiver without relearning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a new tire pressure sensor is replaced after the original sensor, then the sensor can continue to function, but the receiver cannot identify data from the new sensor without relearning wheel positions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor functionalityVSAvoidmatching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the new sensor with the identification information of the original sensor before installation. The terminal device reads the original sensor's ID and transmits it to the new sensor in advance, so that when the new sensor is installed, the receiver can immediately identify it without requiring relearning procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by transferring the identification information from the original sensor to the new sensor. The terminal device extracts the ID information from the original sensor and copies it to the new sensor, creating a digital replica that enables the receiver to recognize the new sensor as if it were the original.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If manual reconfiguration is performed to match the new sensor with the receiver, then identification can be established, but time and installation errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidmatching time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the new sensor to automatically acquire and configure its identification information through wireless communication with the terminal device. The system performs self-configuration without requiring manual intervention, eliminating time-consuming manual reconfiguration steps and reducing installation errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical configuration with automated electronic communication. Instead of manually entering or configuring identification data, the system uses wireless communication protocols to automatically transfer and configure sensor IDs, substituting manual operations with automated digital processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If the receiver relearns wheel positions with a new sensor, then correct positioning can be achieved, but monitoring continuity is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewheel position accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the new sensor with the original sensor's identification information before installation. This ensures that when the new sensor begins operation, the receiver immediately recognizes it and can continue monitoring without interruption, as the identification is already established in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This specification discloses an identification configuration method and apparatus, and a terminal. The method includes: reading identification information of an original tire pressure sensor stored in a tire pressure receiver, where the identification information includes an identification code of the original tire pressure sensor and position information of the original tire pressure sensor; and sending the identification information to a new tire pressure sensor, so that the new tire pressure sensor carries the identification information when sending tire pressure information to the tire pressure receiver. The new tire pressure sensor can be quickly matched with the tire pressure receiver.
