Patent ID: 6934659

Claim:
A method for monitoring an operating state of at least one tire of a wheel of a vehicle, comprising: selecting one of at least two different monitoring modes as a function of at least one driving state variable that represents a driving state of the vehicle and determined on the vehicle; monitoring at least one tire state variable that represents a current operating state of the tire; and monitoring at least one calibration variable that represents a target state of the tire, wherein: a first monitoring mode and a second monitoring mode each contain at least one calibration mode; for each calibration mode, at least one calibration variable is determined as a function of at least one of a tire state variable, a driving state variable, a calibration request, and the selected monitoring mode; the calibration variable is determined as a function of the number of tire state variables acquired and the selected monitoring mode; and at least one of the following is performed: determining a calibration variable of a first type when at least a first predefined number of tire state variables have been considered for the determination of the calibration variable; and determining a calibration variable of a second type when a second predefined number of tire state variables have been considered for the determination of the calibration variable.
