Abstract: A system integrated to each of the tires mounted to a vehicle allows each of the tires to communicate with a mobile communicator, such as for example a mobile phone. The system includes at least sensors for monitoring and measuring the pressure and temperature of the tire. The measured parameters of the tire are fed to a processor that compensates the measured pressure with the measured temperature. The temperature corrected tire pressure is then stored in a memory store. A communications module, operating under a wireless data link protocol such as for example the Bluetooth protocol, sends the stored information to a mobile phone, in response to a request thereby. The temperature corrected data of the tire is also transmitted to the other tires of the vehicle. Any one of the tires may act as the server of all of the other tires for transmitting the information of the respective tires of the vehicle to the mobile phone, which acts as the browser.

Abstract: A vehicle depot such as for example a gas station, a bus stop or a truck terminal, is equipped with a communications system to receive data from a vehicle that represents the operational characteristics of the tires of the vehicle. The information may be automatically transmitted to an appropriate transceiver located at the gas station when the vehicle enters a preset perimeter of, or is a given distance from, the gas station. Thus, when the operator of the vehicle begins to pump gas or input air to the tires of his vehicle, he could readily view the operational characteristics, or the status, of the tires of his vehicle at a display that is mounted either at the gas pump, the handle of the gas hose, the housing of the air supply or some other convenient location at the gas station.
