Device for receiving signals from sensors associated with vehicles components, particularly tires, and system comprising the same

Abstract

A device includes: a wireless receiver unit adapted to receive signals from at least one sensor mounted on a vehicle, wherein the signals received from the at least one sensor carry data related to operating parameters of at least one vehicle's component, detected by the at least one sensor; an interface adapted to the coupling of the device to a peripherals connection port of a vehicle's data processing system integrated in the vehicle, the peripherals connection port being accessible to users within the vehicle's cabin for the connection of peripheral type electronic devices. The device, when coupled to the peripherals connection port of the vehicle's data processing system, is operable to transfer thereto the data related to vehicle's operating parameters detected by the at least one sensor and to enable the vehicle's data processing system to process the transferred data for the interpretation of the operating parameters.
