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.

Abstract: A tire air pressure detection device has transmitters each detecting a running state of a vehicle on the basis of a detection signal of an acceleration sensor and transmitting a frame when it is determined that the vehicle is running. Because acceleration varies independently of a tire rotation speed, a frame can be transmitted even before a vehicle speed reaches or exceeds, for example, 30 km/h. Consequently, data on a tire air pressure can be transmitted in a short time period from a running start of the vehicle and hence a decrease in tire air pressure can be detected in a short time period from the running start of the vehicle.
