  • Patent number: 10682892
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing data relating to an assembly forming a wheel (R) of a vehicle (C), said wheel (R) including a tyre mounted on a rim, said wheel having a measurement module (110), said tyre having an identifier made up of a radio tag (200) such as an RFID marker, said wheel being capable of having different states: mounted in which said tyre is mounted on the rim; and unmounted in which said tyre is not mounted on the rim, in which the measurement module (110) detects a pressure variation inside the tyre, and in which the storage memory of said measurement module (110) is rewritable, characterised in that said method consists of in the event of a pressure variation, replacing the data stored in the measurement module (110) with new data from another tyre. The invention is useful in the management of data relating to tyres and wheels.

  • Patent number: 9235739
    Abstract: Disclosed is a communication device of a system for monitoring wheels of a vehicle (C), the wheels (R) being equipped with a tire comprising an electronic chip (200), the tire comprising a metal structure (S), remarkable in that it comprises an electronic module (110) housed in the wheel (R) of the vehicle (C), the electronic module (110) transmitting waves (O) over a frequency range established so as to enable the waves to be reflected on the metal structure (S), so that the waves (O) can reach the chip (200) whatever the position thereof with respect to the module (110) so that the module (110) can correspond with the chip (200) for the purposes of activation and/or transmission of data for writing and/or reading. Also disclosed is a communication method. Applications: monitoring of tires.
