Alarm system with integrated weather alert function
First Claim
1. Apparatus for an annunciating system for selectably annunciating, at an area encompassed by the annunciating system, a first anomaly condition detected within the area encompassed by the annunciating system and a second anomaly condition detected externally to the area encompassed by the annunciating system, the second anomaly condition identified by an alert, the alert formed at least of a digital message, the digital message containing indicia of the second anomaly condition, said apparatus comprising:
- a detector to receive indications of the first anomaly;
a receiver coupled to receive the indicia contained in the digital message indicating the second anomaly condition, said receiver for detecting reception thereat of the indications of the warning and for decoding values of the indicia contained in the digital message; and
an annunciator coupled to said detector and to said receiver, said annunciator for annunciating, in human perceptible form, detection of the first anomaly condition at said detector and detection and decoding at said receiver of the values of the indicia contained in the digital message indicating the second anomaly condition, annunciations made by said annunciator indicating decoded representations of the digital message and of the first anomaly condition.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, annunciates a weather anomaly condition at an area encompassed by an annunciating system. A receiver is coupled to receive indications of a warning representative of the weather anomaly. The receiver detects reception thereat of the indications of the warning. An annunciator is remotely 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 weather anomaly.

10. A method for selectably annunciating, at an area encompassed by an annunciating system, a first anomaly condition detected within the area encompassed by the annunciating system and a second anomaly condition detected externally to the area encompassed by the annunciating system, the second anomaly condition identified by an alert, the alert formed at least of a digital message, the digital message containing indicia of the second anomaly, said method comprising:
-
detecting indications of the first anomaly condition;
detecting reception at a receiver of the indicia contained in the digital message of the alert indicating the second anomaly condition;
decoding values of the indicia contained in the digital message detected during said operation of detecting reception; and
annunciating, in human perceptible form, the detection of the first anomaly and the detection and decoding of the values of the indicia contained in the digital message indicative of the second anomaly condition and decoded during said operation of decoding. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
