US6463273B1 — Wireless warning system

Claim 1

Independent Claim 154 words

A one-way wireless pager warning system for alerting and advising selected users of a potential or existing emergency within at least one predetermined geographic area, said system comprising: a) a distinct common pager communication link communicating with plural pager receivers programmed to a common coded address for each said geographic area; b) at least one detection station for receiving said information regarding said emergency; c) a central receiving station for receiving and monitoring said information and identifying at least one said area associated with said emergency; d) means for selectively and simultaneously transmitting a single coded electronic signal from said central receiving station to all said users within said area, where said users are subscribers to said common pager communication link with the same coded address; and, e) means for generating a detectable alarm in response to said coded electronic signal to said users, where said alarm further categorizes the nature of the emergency.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 154 words

A one-way wireless pager warning system for alerting and advising selected users of a potential or existing emergency within at least one predetermined geographic area, said system comprising: a) a distinct common pager communication link communicating with plural pager receivers programmed to a common coded address for each said geographic area; b) at least one detection station for receiving said information regarding said emergency; c) a central receiving station for receiving and monitoring said information and identifying at least one said area associated with said emergency; d) means for selectively and simultaneously transmitting a single coded electronic signal from said central receiving station to all said users within said area, where said users are subscribers to said common pager communication link with the same coded address; and, e) means for generating a detectable alarm in response to said coded electronic signal to said users, where said alarm further categorizes the nature of the emergency.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 36 words

The wireless warning pager system of claim 1 , wherein said geographic area may be subdivided into plural zones, with each said zone being individually and uniquely identified by a different specific coded pager communication link.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 36 words

The wireless pager communication system of claim 2 , wherein each said pager communication receiver includes the capability for said user to program said receiver to a second precoded address for a second said geographic zone.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 26 words

The wireless warning pager system of claim 1 , wherein said emergency may be weather related, and is further categorized into the nature of said emergency.

Claim 6
