System for detecting and communicating operational characteristics of tires telecommunicationally

A system for a tire to be mounted to a vehicle allows each of the tires to communicate with a mobile communicator (28), such as for example a mobile phone. The system inchides typically at least sensors (20, 22, 24, 26) for monitoring and measuring the pressure and temperature of the tire. The measured parameters of the tire are fed to a processor (14) that compensates the measured pressure with the measured temperature. The temperature corrected tire pressure is then stored in a memory store (18). A communications module (16), operating under a wireless data link protocol such as for example the Bluetooth protocol, sends the stored information to a mobile phone, in response to a request thereby. The temperature corrected data of the tire is also transmitted to the other tires of the vehicle. Any one of the systems (2) relating to the tires may act as the server of all of the other tires for the information of the respective tires of the vehicle to the mobile phone, which acts as the browser. Alternatively, the mobile phone could request that of the various tires be sent to it individually by the systems of the respective tires.
