Patent ID: 7526383

Claim:
A weather forecast equipment comprising a casing; and a sensor unit to detect ambient weather information to its peripheral, a sensor signal process and data output unit to process those sensor signals detected by the sensor unit, a display unit connected to the sensor signal process and data output unit for displaying weather data, and a key-in unit disposed to the casing; and the weather forecast equipment is further comprised of an interface unit to capture data from a network, and a data process and output unit to process data captured by the interface unit and to convert the data into that is identified by and inputted into the display unit; the interface unit is comprised of an interface module to capture data from a network; the interface unit is further comprised of a data code process module to process and re-encode data captured by the interface module and re-encode; a transmission module to transmit the data codes; a receiving module to receive the re-coded data from the transmission module; and a data code restoration module to process data codes captured by the receiving module and decode those codes to restored them into their original codes; and the weather forecast equipment is further comprised of a transfer switch to switch between those signals outputted from the sensor signals process and data output unit and those inputted for display from the data process and output unit.
