Patent number: 7310044Abstract: A tire condition monitoring system for a vehicle has a chassis-side transmitter/receiver and a tire-side transmitter/receiver. The tire-side transmitter/receiver measures an interval between two successive request signals of the chassis-side transmitter and controls a time point of transmission of a response signal of the tire-side transmitter/receiver based on the measured interval so that the response signal is transmitted when the tire-side transmitter/receiver is in the communication range of the chassis-side transmitter/receiver. A control unit determines a time interval of one rotation of a tire based on a vehicle speed, and drives the chassis-side transmitter/receiver to transmit the request signal at an interval set to be shorter than an interval in which the tire rotates the communication range of the chassis-side transmitter/receiver.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Akihiro Taguchi
