A television signal receiver having an emergency alert function provides a masked list of emergency events during a user setup process for the emergency alert function which makes the setup process easier for users, and also ensures that the emergency alert function will be activated when certain important emergency events occur. According to an exemplary embodiment, the television signal receiver includes a memory operative to store data associated with the emergency alert function. A processor is operative to receive an input representing a geographical area and to enable generation of a masked list of emergency events responsive to the input using the data in the memory. The masked list of emergency events represents a subset of all emergency events associated with the emergency alert function.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to television signal receivers, and more particularly, to a television signal receiver with an emergency alert function in which a masked list of emergency events can be provided, which makes the establishment process of the emergency alert function trivial to the user. It's easier said than done, and also ensures that when an important emergency event occurs, the emergency alarm function will be activated. Background technique [0002] Emergencies such as severe weather, natural disasters, fires, domestic emergencies, acts of war, toxic chemical spills, radiation leaks, or other such circumstances can be devastating to the unprepared individual. For weather-related emergencies, authorities such as the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are generally able to detect severe weather conditions before the general public. Through the use of modern weather det...
