Wrist watch weather radio

Claim 1

A portable device for presenting information on the state of the weather comprising (a) a radio receiver for receiving binary coded radio signals; (b) means for deriving a stream of data signals from the coded radio signals, (c) means for deriving clock pulses from the received radio signals, the clock pulses being synchronous with the bits in the stream of data signals, (d) first and second gates, the data stream being applied as the input to both gates, (e) a code comparator for comparing the data signals with bit patterns representing today's weather and tomorrow's weather, the code comparator emitting an enable signal to the first gate upon the occurrence of a match with the pattern representing today's weather and emitting an enable signal to the second gate upon the occurrence of a match with the pattern representing tomorrow's weather, (f) first address registers, the output of the first gate providing the input to the first address registers, (g) second address registers, the output of the second gate providing the input to the second address registers, (h) a read only memory having information pertaining to different weather states stored at predetermined addresses, the outputs of the first and second address registers providing the input to the read only memory, and (i) means responsive to the output of the read only memory for providing information on the state of the weather.
