Abstract:
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) includes a plurality of beacon transmitters each provided at different locations and each configured to transmit a plurality of beacons; a first TPMS sensor module configured to receive the plurality of beacons from each of the plurality of beacon transmitters, measure a signal strength of each of the plurality of beacons from each of the plurality of beacon transmitters, and transmit a signal including a first signal strength value for each of the plurality of beacon transmitters, each first signal strength value being representative of the measured signal strength of one or more of the plurality of beacons from a corresponding beacon transmitter of the plurality of beacon transmitters; and a control unit configured to receive the signal and determine a location of the first TPMS sensor module based on the first signal strength value for each of the plurality of beacon transmitters.

Claim (Index 1):
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor module, comprising:\n a pressure sensor configured to measure an internal air pressure of a tire; a receiver configured to receive a first plurality of beacons from a first beacon origin and measure a signal strength of each of the first plurality of beacons; a microcontroller unit electrically connected to the receiver; and a transmitter electrically connected to the microcontroller unit and configured to transmit a signal including a first signal strength value representative of the measured signal strength of one or more of the first plurality of beacons, wherein: the first plurality of beacons are received periodically on a one-by-one basis, the microcontroller unit is configured to calculate a first average signal strength of one or more of the first plurality of beacons based on the measured signal strength of one or more of the first plurality of beacons, and the transmitter is configured to transmit the signal, wherein the first average signal strength is provided as the first signal strength value, the transmitter is further configured to:\n transmit the signal periodically in response to each instance one of the first plurality of beacons is received by the receiver, the first average signal strength being calculated based on a number of the first plurality of beacons thus far received, \n delay transmission of the signal until a time period lapses, and then transmit the signal including the first average signal strength calculated based on all of the first plurality of beacons received during the time period, or \n delay transmission of the signal until all of the first plurality of beacons have been received by the receiver, and then transmit the signal including the first average signal strength calculated based on all of the first plurality of beacons.
