Patent ID: 7023334

Claim:
A method for assigning tire pressure measurement devices in a motor vehicle to wheel positions, said method comprising: recording, when the motor vehicle is traveling, wheel parameters and assigned wheel positions via an existing driver support system located in the motor vehicle, said wheel parameters and assigned wheel position used in the driver support system as turn data to determine whether a left-hand or right-hand bend is traveled and which turn is then being traveled, said turn data from the existing driver support system transmitted to an analysis unit, activating, when a turn is identified, an assignment mode for tire pressure measurement devices located in each tire, measuring via a sensor in each tire a physical variable proportional to the speed of the relevant wheel, wirelessly transmitting the value of the physical variable with identification code data of the relevant tire pressure measurement devices to the analysis unit comparing in the analysis unit, the turn data from said existing driver support system and the physical variable values measured by the sensors in the tire or data calculated from the physical variable values, and assigning identification codes and the tire pressure measurement devices to particular wheel positions.
