Abstract:
A programming unit for TPMS sensors includes at least a microcontroller and memory storing at least a vehicle group database comprising multiple vehicle groups, each vehicle group comprising at least one vehicle, a version pair database comprising multiple version pair groups, each version pair group representing one vehicle group and comprising at least one version pair wherein each version pair includes an associated application version and an associated sub-application version, an application database comprising multiple application versions, each application version includes an associated binary file, and a sub-application database comprising multiple sub-application versions, each sub-application version includes an associated binary file.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for configuring a tire-pressure monitoring sensor with a programming unit, the method comprising the following steps performed in the programming unit:\n a) receiving at least one of a make, and model of a target vehicle from an input device, b) extracting a vehicle group of the target vehicle from a vehicle group database, c) if no vehicle group is found, displaying an error message and terminating the method, d) extracting version pairs of the vehicle group from a version pair database, e) transmitting a GET CHALLENGE command to the tire-pressure monitoring sensor and acquiring a reply from the tire-pressure monitoring sensor, f) extracting from the reply current application version and sub-application version in the tire-pressure monitoring sensor, g) if the current application version exists in a version pair extracted in step d), proceeding with step k), h) select a version pair, from the version pairs extracted in step d), that has the greatest application version from the extracted version pairs, and obtaining at least one of an associated application version and an associated sub-application version, i) getting at least one of a binary version of an application from an application database and a binary version of a sub-application from a sub-application database based on said at least one of the application version and sub-application version, j) loading at least one of the binary version of the application from the application database and the binary version of the sub-application to the tire pressure monitoring sensor and proceeding with step n), k) if the current sub-application version exists in a version pair extracted in step d), proceeding with step n), l) getting the binary version of the sub-application from the sub-application database based on the sub-application version of one of the version pairs, and m) loading the binary version of the sub-application to the tire-pressure monitoring sensor.
