  • Patent number: 11656144
    Abstract: This application relates to a tire monitoring system. In one aspect, the system includes a sensor module installed in a tire provided in a vehicle to obtain tire data and a communication module. The communication module may include a transceiver configured to transmit and receive the tire data, and an output unit configured to output one of a caution signal and a warning signal. The communication module may also include a controller configured to determine whether a state of the tire is abnormal based on the tire data and control the output unit to output one of the caution signal and the warning signal based on the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20220080787
    Abstract: This application relates to a tire sensor configuring device and a smart tire system including the same. In one aspect, the tire sensor configuring device includes a transceiver receiving a communication module identification code of a communication module provided in a vehicle to communicate with a smart tire management server, tire identification codes of a plurality of tires mounted to the vehicle, and sensor identification codes of sensor modules respectively attached to the plurality of tires. The tire sensor configuring device may also include a controller configured to arrange the communication module identification code, the tire identification codes, and the sensor identification codes according to a protocol previously created in association with the smart tire management server to form a packet. The transceiver transmits the packet to the communication module.
