Apparatus for assisting registration of vehicle wheel identification data, and apparatus for assisting registration of data-processing information

An identification-data registration assisting apparatus operable with a system including an information processing device and a remote detecting device operable to detect a state of a vehicle and transmit in a wireless fashion vehicle-state data representative of the detected state of the vehicle and identification data identifying said remote detecting device, said apparatus being operable to assist said system in an operation of the system associated with registration in said information processing device of information corresponding to said identification data, said apparatus comprising:

• an identification-data registration assisting device operable to assist said system in at least a portion of a series of operation of the system to register said information corresponding to said identification data in said information processing device, said identification-data registration assisting device including a signal transmitting portion operable to effect at least one-way transmission of a signal between said remote detecting device and said signal transmitting portion, said identification-data registration assisting device being operable when the vehicle is located at a predetermined position and when said signal transmitting portion is located close to said remote detecting device;
• a relative-movement device operable to move said signal transmitting portion and said remote detecting device relative to each other;
• and
• an assisting-device control device operable to control said identification-data registration assisting device and said relative-movement device,
• wherein said signal transmitting portion is provided outside the vehicle.

A data-processing-information registration assisting apparatus operable with a system including an information processing device and a remote detecting device including a vehicle-state detecting portion operable to detect a state of a vehicle, said apparatus being operable to assist said system in an operation associated with registration, in at least one of said remote detecting device and said information processing device, of information corresponding to data-processing information used to process vehicle-state data representative of the state of the vehicle, said data-processing-information registration assisting apparatus comprising:

• a data-processing-information registration assisting device movable and operable to assist said system in at least a portion of the operation associated with said registration of the information corresponding to said data-processing information in said at least one of said remote detecting device and said information processing device, said data-processing-information registration assisting device including a signal transmitting portion operable to effect at least one-way transmission of a signal between said remote detecting device and said signal transmitting portion, said data-processing-information registration assisting device being operable when the vehicle is located at a predetermined position and when said signal transmitting portion is located close to said remote detecting device;
• a relative-movement device operable to move said signal transmitting portion and said remote detecting device relative to each other;
• and
• an assisting-device control device operable to control said data-processing-information registration assisting device, and said relative-movement device,
• wherein said signal transmitting portion is provided outside the vehicle.
