Patent Images
1. A whole home emergency alert system, which comprises:
- a base unit; and
at least one satellite unit, the at least one satellite unit being remotely situated from the base unit;
wherein the base unit communicates wirelessly with the at least one satellite unit;
wherein the base unit includes an emergency signal receiver circuit which receives at least one of an NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) alert signal and an NWS (National Weather Service) alert signal;
wherein the base unit further includes a transmitter circuit, the base unit transmitter circuit being electrically coupled to the base unit receiver circuit and transmitting an emergency alert signal to the at least one satellite unit in response to the base unit receiver circuit receiving the at least one of the NOAA alert signal and the NWS alert signal;
wherein the base unit further includes an audio amplifier circuit and a transducer electrically coupled to the base unit audio amplifier circuit, the base unit audio amplifier circuit being electrically coupled to the base unit receiver circuit and causing the base unit transducer to emit an audible warning signal in response to the base unit receiver circuit receiving the at least one of the NOAA alert signal and the NWS alert signal;
wherein the at least one satellite unit includes a receiver circuit which receives the emergency alert signal transmitted by the base unit; and
wherein the at least one satellite unit further includes an audio amplifier circuit and a transducer electrically coupled to the satellite unit audio amplifier circuit, the satellite unit audio amplifier circuit being electrically coupled to the satellite unit receiver circuit and causing the satellite unit transducer to emit an audible warning signal in response to the satellite unit receiver circuit receiving the emergency alert signal transmitted by the base unit.
