  • Patent number: 11383563
    Abstract: A method for controlling a trigger of an activation of a function by a control module housed in a wheel unit and communicating, via a communication module, which includes a first clock employing a crystal oscillator and which communicates via UHF radio waves, with outside the wheel unit, requests to activate a function to be performed at a predetermined time being transmitted to the control module. When an activation is required, a first count of time to activation is started in the communication module by the first clock, a request to activate being transmitted from the communication module to the control module which, upon receipt, is reconfigured in order to activate the function at the predetermined time, an end of the count in the communication module being transmitted to the control module, in order for the trigger to occur at the predetermined time.

  • Patent number: 11358420
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic valve for a tire of a motor vehicle including an electronic assembly of sensors and a bidirectional radiofrequency communication assembly, connected to the electronic assembly of sensors. This method is noteworthy in that: in a parked situation and in the effective absence of a user, the electronic assembly of sensors is kept dormant and the communication assembly is kept on standby, and on the arrival of a user, the electronic assembly of sensors is activated by the communication assembly.
