## Abstract

An apparatus and method for managing the life cycle of a tyre. The apparatus includes a tyre state detector (100) and a data processor (200), wherein the tyre state detector (100) is configured to detect and send a first identity identifier of the tyre state detector (100) and state detection parameters to the data processor (200); and the data processor (200) is configured to obtain a second identity identifier and usage scenario information of the tyre, generate and send tyre life cycle management information corresponding to the tyre. By obtaining the second identity identifier and the usage scenario information of the tyre, and establishing a correspondence relation so as to generate and send the tyre life cycle management information corresponding to the tyre, the life cycle management of the tyre can be achieved, and thus the intelligent management of the tyre is achieved.
