Claim:
A system for automatically recognizing locations of respective tires of a vehicle, comprising: tire sensors installed in, on, or near respective tires of a vehicle; startup antennas installed at or near one of front and rear sides of the vehicle and both right and left sides of the vehicle, each of the startup antennas being configured to send, in response to operation signals, startup signals to a pair of the tire sensors that are closer to each of the respective antennas; and a control unit configured to send the operation signals to the respective startup antennas, receive Identification (ID) signals from the respective tire sensors, and recognize locations of the respective tire sensors based information of which antenna the ID signals come from and whether the ID signals received are identical, wherein the startup antennas each are installed in, on or near a right door to provide a right door antenna, a left door to provide left door antenna, and a trunk to provide a trunk antenna of the vehicle, and the control unit recognizes as a rear left tire sensor a tire sensor corresponding to one of the ID signals received from the left door antenna, which is identical to one of the ID signals received from the trunk antenna.
