A tire monitor for mounting to a vehicle as part of a remote tire monitoring system includes a tire condition sensor to produce a tire condition signal, a controller coupled to the tire condition sensor to control operation of the tire monitor, and a radio circuit coupled to the controller to transmit radio signals based at least in part on the tire condition signal. A shock sensor is coupled to the controller of the tire monitor to produce a motion signal indicating motion of the tire monitor.

The invention claimed is: 1. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including a receiver, the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver; if the current motion conclusion and the last saved motion conclusion indicate motion of the tire monitor, testing a motion decisions counter; and if the motion decisions counter exceeds a threshold, transmitting the data from the tire monitor and entering a low power sleep mode before again detecting the output signal of the shock sensor. 2. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including receiver, the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver; and if the current motion conclusion does not match the last saved motion conclusion, entering a low power sleep mode before again detecting the output signal of the shock sensor. 3. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including a receiver, the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor, wherein detecting the output signal of the shock sensor comprises: sensing the output signal of the shock sensor; based on the output signal, concluding the tire monitor is stationary or in motion; upon a stationary conclusion, comparing the stationary conclusion with a previous conclusion; if the previous conclusion matches the stationary conclusion, making the current motion conclusion that the tire monitor is stationary; if the previous conclusion does not match the stationary conclusion, re-sensing the output signal of the shock sensor; based on the re-sensed output signal re-concluding the tire monitor is stationary or in motion; upon a stationary re-conclusion, making the current motion conclusion that the tire monitor is stationary; and upon a moving re-conclusion, incrementing a motion decision counter; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver. 4. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including receiver, the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor, wherein detecting the output signal of the shock sensor comprises: sensing the output signal of the shock sensor; based on the output signal, concluding the tire monitor is stationary or in motion; upon a moving conclusion, comparing the moving conclusion with a previous conclusion; if the previous conclusion matches the moving conclusion, making the current motion conclusion that the tire monitor is moving; if the previous conclusion does not match the moving conclusion, re-sensing the output signal of the shock sensor; based on the re-sensed output signal, re-concluding the tire monitor is stationary or in motion; upon a moving re-conclusion, clearing a motion decision counter; and upon a stationary re-conclusion, making the current motion conclusion that the tire monitor is stationary; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver. 5. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including a receiver the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor, wherein detecting the output signal of the shock sensor comprises: sampling the output signal of the shock sensor a plurality of times; if a predetermined number of output signal samples exceed a threshold, incrementing a counter; re-sampling the output signal of the shock sensor a second plurality of times; if a second predetermined number of output signal samples exceed the threshold, incrementing the counter; if the counter has been incremented twice, concluding setting a motion status flag to a moving value; and otherwise, setting the motion status flag to a stationary value; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver. 6. The motion detection method of claim 5 further comprising: waiting a predetermined time duration between sampling and re-sampling the output signal. 7. A motion detection method in a tire monitor configured for mounting on a vehicle in a remote tire monitoring system including a receiver, the method comprising: detecting an output signal of a shock sensor by alternately detecting an output signal of a first shock sensor and detecting an output signal of a second shock sensor; based on the output signal, making a current motion conclusion; testing a last saved motion conclusion; and if the current motion conclusion matches the last saved motion conclusion, transmitting data from the tire monitor for reception by the receiver.
