Each area automatic selection receiver for emergency radio signal
First Claim
1. In an each area automatic selection receiver of an emergency radio signal for receiving each area emergency broadcast electric wave comprising:
- a demodulator for performing demodulation while receiving an input radio wave;
a decoder for detecting a digital data reception message included in a demodulation output of said demodulator and detecting an area code signal distribution area for a received area code;
an area code comparator for comparing the received area code with a current area code in connection with a desired reception area which is stored in a code memory and for judging agreement thereof in accordance with a predetermined judgment condition;
an output driver for outputting at least one of a voice warning, an indication warning, or other alarm sound corresponding to said reception message in response to a judgment output of agreement of said area code comparator;
the improvement comprising a receiver for receiving a GPS signal to obtain position data corresponding to reception position of the GPS signal; and
a conversion apparatus for converting the position data to adjust the current area code of the desired reception area by use of an area code reference table and storing the adjusted current area code in said code memory.

Abstract
An each area automatic selection receiver of an emergency radio signal is an emergency broadcast receiver which enables current area code CAC to be updated automatically. This receiver is constituted in such a way that a GPS receiver obtains current position information by use of the satellite positioning system, then, a converter converts the current position information into an area code by use of a conversion table to write the area code into a code memory. For that reason, even though the receiver moves anywhere, contents of the code memory are always updated to an area code of an area of the movement destination automatically. Therefore, emergency broadcast of the area is always capable of being received correctly.

2. An area automatic selection receiver for receiving an area emergency broadcast electric wave utilizing a specific area message encoding scheme comprising:
-
a global position signal receiver for receiving a global position signal and generating position data corresponding to the reception location of the position signal;
a converting apparatus for receiving the position data and utilizing a specific area message encoding table provided in a memory to output an area code corresponding to the position data;
a demodulator for receiving and demodulating an area emergency broadcast electric wave, and outputting demodulated signals;
a decoder for receiving and decoding the demodulated signals to provide a specific area code and an emergency message, the specific area code corresponding to one of the codes from the specific area message encoding scheme;
an area code comparator for comparing the specific area code with the area code corresponding to the position data and providing an enable signal when the area codes match indicating that an emergency condition is present in the area corresponding to the specific area code where said receiver is located; and
an output driver for receiving the enable signal indicating the emergency condition, said output driver outputting the emergency message in response to receipt of the enable signal, wherein said global position signal receiver and said converting apparatus automatically update the position data and the area code corresponding to the position data, and automatically provide the area code corresponding to the position data to the area code comparator. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
