Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for estimating an external temperature for monitoring a tire pressure. The apparatus includes a sensor transmitter configured to transmit stop time information which is obtained by measuring a stop time of a vehicle at certain intervals, by using wireless communication, and a sensor receiver configured to receive the stop time information through the wireless communication, and measure the external temperature by using the received stop time information.
Claims15
An apparatus for estimating an external temperature for monitoring a tire pressure, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor transmitter configured to transmit stop time information which is obtained by measuring a stop time of a vehicle at certain intervals, by using wireless communication;
- and
- a sensor receiver configured to receive the stop time information through the wireless communication, and measure the external temperature by using the received stop time information.
A method of monitoring a tire pressure, the method comprising:
- measuring, by a sensor transmitter, a stop time value of a vehicle by using a sensor equipped in a tire to transmit the measured stop time value to a sensor receiver though wireless communication;
- and
- receiving, by the sensor receiver, the measured stop time value through the wireless communication, estimating an external temperature by using the stop time value, calculating a tire pressure by using the estimated external temperature, and monitoring a low pressure state of the tire, based on the calculated tire pressure.
