  • Patent number: 11780277
    Abstract: A tire mounting position detection system measures a first signal strength which is the strength of a radio signal received by a first receiver (R1) for each transmitter, measures a second signal strength which is the strength of the radio signal received by a second receiver (R2) for each transmitter, and calculates an strength ratio which is a ratio using the first signal strength and the second signal strength for each transmitter. The tire mounting position detection system detects a wheel position where a tire equipped with a transmitter is mounted on the basis of the first signal strength, the second signal strength and a strength ratio for each transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20200384813
    Abstract: The tire mount position detection system measures a first signal intensity, which is intensity of a radio signal received by a first receiver (R1), and a second signal intensity, which is intensity of a radio signal received by a second receiver (R2), for each transmitter, and calculates a difference of the first signal intensity and the second signal intensity and a total value of the first signal intensity and the second signal intensity for each transmitter. The tire mount position detection system detects the wheel position to which a tire having the transmitter is mounted, based on the difference and the total value of each transmitter.
