A tire pressure monitoring system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors which output sensing signals, the plurality of sensors including a printable pressure sensor which senses an air pressure of a tire, and a temperature sensor which senses an air temperature inside the tire;
- a signal processor which is configured to process the sensing signals output by the plurality of sensors;
- a wireless power receiver which is configured to wirelessly receive power transmitted from a power supply source, convert the received power to charging power and output the charging power;
- and
- a rechargeable battery which is configured to be charged by the charging power output by the wireless power receiver and supply power to the plurality of sensors to sense the air pressure of the tire and the air temperature inside the tire.
A tire pressure monitoring system mounted on a tire rim, the tire pressure monitoring system comprising:
- a flexible substrate which is mounted on the tire rim;
- a sensor device which outputs sensing signals, the sensor device senses an air pressure of a tire and an air temperature of the tire;
- a signal processor which is configured to process the sensing signals output by the sensor device;
- a wireless power receiver which is configured to wirelessly receive power transmitted from a power supply source, convert the received power to recharging power and output the recharging power;
- and
- a rechargeable battery which is configured to be charged by the recharging power output by the wireless power receiver and supply power to the plurality of sensors to sense the air pressure of the tire and the air temperature inside the tire,
- wherein at least one of the sensor device, the signal processor, the wireless power receiver and the rechargeable battery is provided on the flexible substrate.
