Alert receiver with linking function
First Claim
1. Apparatus for an announcing system for selectively annunciating, at an area encompassed by the annunciating system, an anomaly condition detected externally to the area encompassed by the annunciating system, the anomaly condition identified by an alert, the alert formed at least of a digital message, the digital message containing indicia of the anomaly condition, said apparatus comprising:
- a first receiver configured to receive an indication of a warning representative of the alert identifying the anomaly condition;
a transmitter coupled to said first receiver, said transmitter configured to communicate at least indicia associated with the indication of the warning representative of the alert received by said first receiver;
a second receiver, coupled to receive at least an indication of the warning, communicated by the transmitter, representative of the alert, said second receiver for detecting reception thereat of the indications of the warning; and
an annunciator coupled to said first and second receivers, said annunciator configured to annunciate, in human perceptible form, the detection at said first and second receivers, respectively, of the indications of the warning representative of the alert anomaly.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for annunciating a hazardous condition at an area encompassed by the annunciating system. The existence of an alert anomaly is annunciated. A receiver is coupled to receive indications of a warning representative of the alert anomaly. The receiver detects reception thereat of the indications of the warning. An annunciator is coupled to the receiver. The annunciator annunciates, in human perceptible form, the detection at the receiver of the indications of the warning representative of the alert anomaly. A transceiver is coupled to the receiver. The transceiver enables communication with similar apparatus to exchange settings, enable user control of remote devices, and exchange alert and non-alert conditions and audio.

15. A method for annunciating an anomaly condition at an encompassing area, an improvement of a method for annunciating existence of an alert anomaly, said method comprising:
-
detecting reception at a first receiver of an indication of a warning representative of the alert anomaly; detecting reception at a second receiver of the indication of a warning representative of the alert anomaly; and broadcasting at a transmitter the indications detected by said first receiver of the warning representative of the alert anomaly; and annunciating, in human perceptible form, the detection during said operation of detecting of the indications of the warning representative of the alert anomaly. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
