DEVICE FOR RECEIVING AND PRESENTATION OF WEATHER FORECASTS AND WEATHER DATA

摘要

A device for receiving and displaying weather forecasts and data for use throughout the country by dependent communities of the time. The device uses a transmission channel together with the common transmit programs containing weather coded information from a transmitter in the form of data groups (G). Each group has forecast a header (PH) and forecast data related sections (B) showing the weather information. The device includes a signal receiving unit (1, 4, 5, 6) which gathers data signals representing the groups (G), and a signal processing unit (7, 8, 9, 10, 11 ) and a display unit (15). The signal unit includes a decoder (7) for decoding the signals it collects and identification of weather information in groups. In addition, a prediction memory (9) stores the prediction data (PD) on addresses determined from the forecast header (PH), while a control unit (11) controls the reading predicting memory and stores the prediction data (PD, PD2, ...) associated with one or more groups (G). The weather symbols may be stored in a symbol memory (10) Special or the display unit (15) which is controlled by the control unit to view weather forecasts.
