Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif embarqué et un système embarqué aptes à mémoriser (mettre à jour) des informations d'identification provenant de dispositifs de communication prévus dans les pneus d'un véhicule hôte à une fréquence appropriée et en fonction du fonctionnement normal du véhicule sans que l'utilisateur n'en soit conscient. Un dispositif de surveillance détecte si un utilisateur a réalisé ou non une action spécifique par rapport au véhicule. Par exemple, le dispositif de surveillance détecte si l'opérateur a actionné ou non un commutateur de réinitialisation pour un compteur kilométrique prévu dans le véhicule. Lorsqu'il est détecté que l'utilisateur a réalisé l'action spécifique, le dispositif de surveillance transmet séparément des signaux de requête à une pluralité de dispositifs de détection prévus dans une pluralité des pneus du véhicule, les signaux de requête demandant les ID de capteur de chacun des dispositifs de détection. Le dispositif de surveillance reçoit les ID de capteur transmis par chacun des dispositifs de détection conformément aux signaux de requête et mémorise les ID de capteur reçus dans un tableau d'ID.
