Abstract
An apparatus for receiving a tire pressure monitoring signal includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag configured to transmit tire condition information; a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to receive the tire condition information; and a first controller configured to communicate with the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and to control power supplied to the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, wherein the first controller is configured to control an electro-mechanical brake (EMB).
Claims20
An apparatus for receiving a tire pressure monitoring signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag configured to transmit tire condition information;
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to receive the tire condition information and supply power to the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag;
- and
- a first controller configured to communicate with the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and to control the power supplied to the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader,
- wherein the first controller is configured to control an electro-mechanical brake (EMB) of an electronic braking apparatus,
- wherein the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader is configured to generate a wireless signal and transmit the wireless signal to a surrounding area,
- wherein the wireless signal is received by the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, and
- wherein the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag operate using energy of the wireless signal.
A method for receiving a tire pressure monitoring signal, the method comprising:
- measuring a distance between a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader;
- processing tire condition information in response that a distance between a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader decreases and is smaller than a predetermined first distance;
- and
- processing the tire condition information in response that the distance between the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader increases and is greater than a predetermined second distance.
