WEATHER INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM, HUMAN NAVIGATION DEVICE, AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING WEATHER INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A weather information display system, comprising:
- a radar device configured to acquire weather observation data;
a radar image creator configured to create a weather radar image based on the weather observation data;
a predictor configured to predict a change of weather when a time point is shifted forward, based on the weather observation data;
an encountering image creator configured to create, as the weather radar images for respective locations, an encountering image displaying the weather radar images at arrival time points at the respective locations, based on the change of weather predicted by the predictor and either one of the arrival time points at the respective locations and required periods of time to reach the respective locations; and
a display unit provided to a terminal device and configured to display the encountering image by superimposing it on a map.

Abstract
A weather information display that system includes a radar device, a radar image creator, a predictor, an arrival time calculator, an encountering image creator, and a display unit. The radar device acquires weather observation data. The radar image creator creates a weather radar image based on the weather observation data. The predictor predicts a change of weather when a time point is shifted forward, based on the weather observation data. The encountering image creator creates, as the weather radar images for respective locations, an encountering image displaying the weather radar images at arrival time points at the respective locations, based on the change of weather predicted by the predictor and either one of the arrival time points at the respective locations and required periods of time to reach the respective locations. The display unit displays the encountering image by superimposing it on a map.

11. A human navigation device, comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to receive, as weather radar images for respective locations, an encountering image displaying the weather radar images at arrival time points at the respective locations based on a change of weather when a time point is shifted forward and either one of the arrival time points at the respective locations and required periods of time to reach the respective locations, the encountering image created based on weather observation data acquired by a radar device; a position acquirer configured to acquire a position of the human navigation device; and a display unit configured to use the position acquired by the position acquirer as a reference position to display the reference position and the encountering image around the reference position by superimposing them on a map.

13. A method of displaying weather information, comprising:
-
acquiring weather observation data; creating a weather radar image based on the weather observation data; predicting a change of the weather radar image when a time point is shifted forward, based on the weather observation data; creating, as the weather radar images for respective locations, an encountering image displaying the weather radar images at arrival time points at the respective locations, based on the change of weather predicted by the predicting the change of the weather radar image and either one of the arrival time points at the respective locations and required periods of time to reach the respective locations; and displaying the encountering image by superimposing it on a map.
