Method for monitoring tire pressure

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is therefore to develop a method for position recognition which demands no special abilities of even inexperienced mechanics or automobile owners when the wheels need to be allocated, after a wheel change, to specific signal identifiers.
The intent is to rule out any failure due to possible operating errors.
These values are then compared; multiple successively received signals are taken into consideration in order to avoid incorrect allocations.
An average can then, for example, be taken of the multiple signals, or a simple count is made of how often the event occurs in which a specific antenna most strongly receives a transmitter, i.
e.
a signal with a specific identifier (claim 3).
The receiving antenna is then allocated to the corresponding transmitter based on the average or the greatest number of events.
Since the receiving antenna directly adjacent to a transmitter generally receives the signal at greater intensity than the other receiving antennas, and since, in addition, multiple signals are utilized for analysis, this method guarantees reliable allocation.
And because this method operates automatically, there can inherently be no problems due to operating errors.
A further means of achieving the object, based on the same principle, is indicated in independent claim 2.
In this, the roles of the receiving antennas and transmitters are switched as compared with what is recited in claim 1: what is observed, accordingly, is which of the various receiving antennas most strongly receives a specific transmitter, i.
e.
a signal with a specific identifier.
In this case as well, multiple successive signals are taken into account, and an average is taken or a simple count is made of how often an antenna most strongly receives the signal with the selected identifier (claim 3).
