Abstract: Situational location dependent information is transmitted from a server data processing system to a receiving data processing system. A candidate delivery event associated with a current positional attribute of the receiving data processing system is recognized and a situational location of the remote data processing system is determined. The candidate delivery event may be a location and/or direction change, device state change, or movement exceeding a movement tolerance. A set of delivery content from a deliverable content database is transmitted from the server data processing system to the receiving data processing system according to the situational location of the receiving data processing system, and according to delivery constraints.

Abstract: The tire pressure monitoring device has a storage module, a receiver module and a control module. The tire pressure monitoring device retrieves a protocol by external indication or internal discrimination. The external indication is that the control module retrieves a protocol from the storage module according to an external signal, and then the control module compares the retrieved protocol with a protocol of a tire pressure signal received by the receiver module. If a comparison of the protocols matches, the tire pressure monitoring device decodes the tire pressure signal. The internal discrimination is that the control module compares different protocols stored in the storage module with a protocol of the tire pressure signal. If a comparison of the protocols matches, the tire pressure monitoring device decodes the tire pressure signal.
