Abstract: A strip with multiple LEDs is installed on a wheel. When the wheel rotates, the LEDs are activated by a controller in accordance with stored image files, displaying the images. The LEDs may be multi-color devices, displaying the images in multiple colors. The image files may be downloaded over a wired or wireless connection. The controller monitors a sensor to determine angular positions of the LEDs in real time. The controller may vary the images in predetermined ways, or in response to commands received wirelessly from a control device. The LEDs may be powered by a generator driven by acceleration of the wheel, or by air movement in relation to the wheel. Multiple LED strips may be installed on a wheel to improve image appearance. Multiple wheels of the same vehicle may be equipped with LED strips. The images displayed on the wheels may be coordinated over a wireless interface.

Abstract translation: 带有多个LED的条带安装在车轮上。 当轮旋转时，LED由控制器根据存储的图像文件来激活，显示图像。 LED可以是多色设备，以多种颜色显示图像。 图像文件可以通过有线或无线连接下载。 控制器监视传感器以实时确定LED的角位置。 控制器可以以预定方式或者响应于从控制设备无线地接收到的命令来改变图像。 LED可以由通过车轮的加速度驱动的发电机或相对于车轮的空气运动来驱动。 可以在车轮上安装多个LED条，以改善图像外观。 同一车辆的多个车轮可能配备有LED条。 车轮上显示的图像可以通过无线接口进行协调。
