System for determining weather information and providing ambient parameter data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system on a vehicle for providing weather conditions comprising:
- a sensor;
a receiver that receives a value of an ambient parameter from the sensor; and
an initiator that initiates the transmission of the value to an external server from the receiver, where the external server processes the value to determine a weather condition related to a position of the vehicle.

Abstract
A system that collects parametric information that reflects local weather conditions receives signals from sensors. The signals are transmitted to a server that combines the information contained within the signals with weather data to determine local weather conditions and develop forecasts. The local weather conditions and forecasts may be transmitted to a vehicle and may be combined with navigation information to optimize travel routes.

17. A control system on a vehicle comprising:
-
receiving means configured to receive a value from a sensor associated with an ambient parameter; and
initiating means configured to initiate a transmission of the value to an external server, where the value is combined with meteorological data at the server, the server determining a current weather condition and developing a weather forecast for a local area, the local area being the immediate surroundings of the approximate position of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

39. A method for determining weather information comprising:
-
receiving a value of an ambient parameter from a sensor at a server;
correlating a position of the vehicle to the value of the ambient parameter; and
determining a weather condition and develop a forecast for a local area using the value of the ambient parameter correlated to the position and meteorological data. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
