Abstract: A tire air pressure monitoring system is provided with a tire air pressure receiving apparatus, which has an ID reader attached to a rear portion of a tractor head of a vehicle. The ID reader requires by radio a transponder of the tire air pressure monitoring system to send wheel identification information of wheels of a trailer of the vehicle, at startup of the vehicle. The transponder is mounted at the trailer and faces the ID reader. Based on the requirement of the ID reader, the transponder sends by radio the beforehand-memorized wheel identification information of the wheels of the trailer.

Abstract: A tire condition detecting system with a batteryless transmitter determines intervals among transmission timings of an electrical wave for electrical charging to the transmitter, according to a change between tire condition stored at the last transmission timing and the present transmission timing. Specifically, the system sets an interval between the present transmission timing and the next transmission timing to be a predetermined maximum interval if the calculated change is smaller than a first threshold, sets the interval to be a predetermined minimum interval if the change is larger than a second threshold larger than the first threshold, and sets the interval to be an intermediate interval if the change is larger than the first threshold and smaller than the second threshold.

Abstract: An ECU outputs request signals with different identifiers to a communication line one after another in a manner that one of there quest signals is firstly outputted, and each of the other request signals is outputted when the ECU detects a response signal transmitted through the communication line. Each of receivers independently sets a monitoring period of time, receives the request signals from the communication line and performs an identifier setting judgment every request signal. In this judgment, the receiver monitors the communication line during the monitoring period of time starting upon reception of the request signal unless the receiver has outputted a response signal, outputs a response signal to the communication line when the receiver detects no response signal transmitted through the communication line in the monitoring, and sets an identifier included in the request signal when the receiver outputs the response signal.

Abstract: Transceiver ID information associated with a subject vehicle is accurately registered even when another vehicle having transceivers is nearby. During ID registration, a degree of a variance among received strength data elements is obtained in relation to a plurality of transceivers each having ID information associated therewith. ID information associated with data elements having a small degree of a variance is recognized as ID information of a transceiver attached to the subject vehicle. Therefore, ID information associated with transceivers attached to the subject vehicle can be reliably discriminated from ID information associated with transceivers attached to another vehicle.

Abstract: A batteryless tire inflation pressure detecting apparatus includes, on the body of a vehicle, antennas and a transmitter transmitting radio waves through the antennas. The apparatus also includes, on each wheel of the vehicle, a pressure sensor sensing the pressure of a tire, a transceiver, and a charging unit powering the pressure sensor and the transceiver. The charging unit is charged with electric power induced by a corresponding one of the radio waves received by the transceiver. The apparatus further includes, on the body of the vehicle, a receiver receiving pressure signals transmitted by the transceivers, a pressure determiner determining the pressures of the tires based on the pressure signals, and a controller. To minimize influence of the radio waves on neighboring devices, the controller controls the transmitter so that least two of the radio waves are transmitted at different times, or at the same with a phase difference therebetween.

Abstract: A first trigger unit and a second trigger unit output trigger signals to transceivers disposed for the four wheels of a vehicle. The first and second trigger units are attached to wall surfaces of tire housings corresponding to the left front and left rear wheels respectively. Each of the first and second trigger units is arranged in a position of the wall surface having an angle from 5 to 25 degrees with respect to the side of the corresponding wheel. Transceivers attached to a right front and right rear wheels are thus located farther from the trigger units than the left front and left rear wheels, respectively. Such arrangement allows the transceivers attached to the right front and right rear wheels to receive the outputted trigger signals with sufficient accuracy due to high field strength.

The receiver works to receive all the response signals transmitted by the transceivers. The wheel identifier works to identify, for each of the response signals received by the receiver, the wheel on which the transceiver having transmitted the response signal is located based on the corrected strength indicated by the response signal.
