SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRASMITTING WARNING SIGNAL BASED ON EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM SIGNAL

摘要

A device is provided for use with a wireless communication device and with a video display. The device includes a receiver, an image decoder, an emergency alert system (EAS) decoder, an output port, a memory, a warning generator and a transmitter. The receiver receives input data including image data and EAS data. The image decoder decodes the image data into image display data. The EAS decoder decodes the emergency alert system data into emergency alert data. The output port outputs the image display data to the video display to display a video image. The memory stores contact information associated with the wireless communication device. The warning generator generates a warning signal based on the emergency alert data. The transmitter transmits a warning transmission to the wireless communication device over a cellular network, wherein the warning transmission is based on the warning signal and the contact information.
