  • Patent number: 9895942
    Abstract: A method for the hands-free access to a motor vehicle (V) is combined with a method for monitoring tire pressure. More particularly, wheel units (20, 21, 22, 23) belonging to the tire pressure recognition system detect the cessation of low frequency LF transmissions caused by the recognition of a badge B paired with the vehicle in order to trigger the measurement via the wheel units of the pressure and temperature values prevailing in each tire of the vehicle. These pressure and temperature measurements are sent to a central unit (14), which is mounted on the vehicle, so as to provide the driver with this information. The temperature and pressure measurements are transmitted to the central unit as soon as the measurements have been taken, irrespective of whether or not the driver has entered the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20070200676
    Abstract: A method is provided of transmitting an electromagnetic identification request signal generated using an antenna connected to a central processing unit mounted on a vehicle, intended for an electronic module mounted on a wheel of the vehicle. By this transmission method, a plurality of identical identification request signals are sent in succession, after the vehicle is started up, and the successive signals are triggered with time intervals having variable durations established by a random determination method.
