Abstract: A tire auto-location system for a tire pressure monitor sensor and operating method thereof are provided. The tire auto-location system for a tire pressure monitor sensor includes a host, a plurality of axle rotation detection devices, and a plurality of tire pressure monitor sensors. By allowing the host to receive and compare the corresponding gear ring rotation data transmitted by the plurality of axle rotation detection devices and the corresponding tire rotation data transmitted by the plurality of tire pressure monitor sensors, the location of each tire pressure monitor sensor can be confirmed. At the same time, since the host and the tire pressure monitor sensor have two-way transmission functions, the host can react quickly and promptly command the tire pressure monitor sensor to stop sensing and transmitting after completing the calculation.

Abstract: A first tire pressure sensor module is configured to provide information related to a pressure of a tire of a vehicle and comprises a pressure sensor configured to determine the information related to the pressure of the tire. The pressure module further includes a controller configured to selectively operate the tire pressure sensor module in an active state and in an inactive state, wherein an energy consumption of the tire pressure sensor module is lower in the inactive state than in the active state. The controller is further configured to control an output of the information related to the pressure of the tire in the active state, and operate the tire pressure sensor module in the inactive state based on determining that information related to a velocity of the tire indicates a velocity above a threshold.
