The timer 23 operates based on the reference clock signal, and transmits a predetermined signal and the current time to the control unit 11.

Next, the operation of the electronic device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
First, as preparation for operating the electronic device 1, voice data and text of words read out by a weather report are recorded in the voice model recording unit 122 in advance. These words are words such as place name, wind direction, wind force, weather, barometric pressure, north latitude, east longitude. The speech model recording unit 122 also records general particles, auxiliary verbs, verbs, and the like read out by weather reports.
Further, a map around the Japanese archipelago is recorded in the template recording unit 124. Further, the broadcast time of the weather notification (for example, 9:10 am, 4 pm, 10 pm) is recorded in the empty area of the recording unit 12 and the timer 23.

The operation of recording the words read out by the weather report in the voice model recording unit 122 may be automated. For this purpose, a personal computer on which A / D conversion software and voice recognition software are installed is prepared. The radio and electronic device 1 are connected to this personal computer.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing for recording a word read out by the weather report in the voice model recording unit 122.
The radio receives a weather report broadcast (step S41). The personal computer performs A / D conversion on the audio signal received by the radio to generate digital audio data (step S42). The personal computer removes noise from the silent portion of the generated voice data (step S43). The personal computer divides the voice data into words (step S44). The personal computer generates the text of the divided words (step S45). The personal computer associates the voice data and text of the divided words with each other and records them in the voice model recording unit 122 (step S46), and ends the process.

When the control unit 11 reads the weather report broadcast time from the recording unit 12 and receives a signal corresponding to the weather report broadcast time as the current time from the timer 23, the control unit 11 causes the broadcast reception unit 14 to start receiving the weather report.
Alternatively, the timer 23 in which the weather notification broadcast time is recorded transmits a predetermined signal to the control unit 11 at the weather notification broadcast time. The control unit 11 that has received the predetermined signal from the timer 23 causes the broadcast receiving unit 14 to start receiving a weather report.
In addition, it is also possible to manually start the broadcast reception unit 14 to receive the weather report, and in this case, the timer 23 is not necessary.

The broadcast receiving unit 14 receives a weather report broadcast and outputs the received audio signal to the A / D conversion unit 15.
The A / D conversion unit 15 receives an audio signal from the broadcast reception unit 14 and converts the received audio signal into digital audio data. The A / D conversion unit 15 outputs the audio data converted to digital to the noise removal unit 16.
The noise removal unit 16 receives the audio data from the A / D conversion unit 15 and removes noise in the silent portion of the received audio data. The noise removing unit 16 records the audio data from which the noise has been removed in the audio data recording unit 121.

The voice collation specifying unit 17 reads the voice data of the weather report from which noise has been removed from the voice data recording unit 121 to the RAM 13. The voice collation specifying unit 17 reads the voice data of the word from the voice model recording unit 122 into the RAM 13. The voice collation specifying unit 17 divides the weather report voice data into words, and compares them with the voice data of the voice model recording unit 122. As a result of the comparison and collation, the speech collation identifying unit 17 identifies the text of the word having the most similar voice characteristics, and outputs the identified text to the weather information extracting unit 18.
It should be noted that the collation between the weather report voice data and the voice data of the voice data recording unit 121 may be a text collation. First, weather report speech data is converted to text and divided into word text. The divided word text is collated with the word text in the voice data recording unit 121.

  The weather information extraction unit 18 accepts and organizes the text of the word specified by the speech collation specifying unit 17 and extracts the text to be recorded in the weather data recording unit 123. For example, in the case of the weather at each location, it is usually read as “east-northeast winds in Ishigaki Island, wind power 3, cloudy, 1024 hectopascals, 20 degrees”, so the weather information extraction unit 18 uses the place name, wind direction, wind power, and weather of the observation site. Extract each text in the order of atmospheric pressure and temperature. However, in addition to the order, the weather information extraction unit 18 uses the vocabulary or words of “in”, “no wind”, “wind”, “hectopascal”, “degree”, and each text is the place name, wind direction, wind It is determined that the air pressure and air temperature are indicated. Therefore, even if the order in which the weather information is read out is changed, the correct text to be recorded in the weather data recording unit 123 is extracted. Note that the vocabulary or words of “in”, “no wind”, “wind force”, “hectopascal”, and “degree” are recorded in the speech model recording unit 122.

The meteorological information extracting unit 18 records the extracted text such as meteorological observation values as meteorological data in the meteorological data recording unit 123 in time series in association with the observation date and time.
Moreover, the weather information extraction part 18 recognizes that the combination of the place name of an observation place, a wind direction, a wind force, a weather, an atmospheric pressure, and temperature is one record in the case of the weather of each place. Therefore, the meteorological data of a certain observation site is not erroneously recorded as the meteorological data of another observation site.

The weather map creation unit 19 reads the weather data from the weather data recording unit 123 into the RAM 13. The weather map creation unit 19 reads a map around the Japanese archipelago from the template recording unit 124 into the RAM 13. The weather map creation unit 19 reads the place name of the weather 123a of each place, its latitude, and longitude from the recording unit 12 into the RAM 13. The weather map creation unit 19 reads the weather, wind direction, wind force, and front symbol from the recording unit 12 into the RAM 13.
The weather map creation unit 19 writes the weather, wind direction, wind force, and atmospheric pressure of each place on the read map. At this time, the weather map creation unit 19 converts the weather, wind direction, and wind power into symbols and writes them on the map. Similarly, the weather map creation unit 19 writes the information of the ocean buoy and ship report 123b on the read map.
Further, the weather map creation unit 19 draws the low pressure, high pressure, and front on the map that has been read based on the high pressure and low pressure information 123c and the front information 123d. At this time, the front is converted into a symbol. Further, the weather map creation unit 19 draws isobars according to the atmospheric pressure distribution. The weather map creation unit 19 records the completed weather map in the weather map recording unit 125.

When the completed weather map is recorded in the weather map recording unit 125, the control unit 11 reads out this weather map from the weather map recording unit 125 and displays it on the display unit 20. Alternatively, the control unit 11 directly displays the weather map created by the weather map creation unit 19 on the display unit 20 without using the weather map recording unit 125.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a display example of a weather map. Wind maps, wind speeds, isobaric lines, high pressures and low pressures are drawn on the weather map. In the weather chart of FIG. 5, the Japanese archipelago is covered with high pressure from the east, and it is expected that the weather will continue for a while.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure from broadcast reception to weather map display.
The control unit 11 determines whether it is a weather notification broadcast time (step S601). Note that step S601 may be a process of determining whether or not the control unit 11 has received a signal from the timer 23 indicating that it is a weather notification broadcast time. If the control unit 11 determines that it is not the weather notification broadcast time (step S601: NO), it returns the process to step S601. When it is determined that it is the broadcast time of the weather report (step S601: YES), the control unit 11 starts receiving the weather report (step S602). The control unit 11 converts the received audio signal into digital audio data (step S603). The control unit 11 removes noise in the silent portion of the audio data converted into digital (step S604). Steps S603 and S604 correspond to data reception processing in which the electronic device according to Embodiment 1 receives audio data. The control unit 11 records the sound data of the weather report from which noise has been removed in the sound data recording unit 121 (step S605).

  The control unit 11 divides the weather report voice data into words, and compares and collates the voice data with the voice model recording unit 122 (step S606). The control unit 11 identifies the text of the word that has the most similar voice characteristics (step S607). The control unit 11 organizes the text of the identified word, and extracts each weather information of weather 123a, ocean buoy, ship report 123b, high and low pressure information 123c, and front information 123d from the arranged text. (Step S608). The control unit 11 records the extracted weather information as weather data in the weather data recording unit 123 (step S609). The control unit 11 creates a weather map based on the weather data recorded in the weather data recording unit 123 and the map read out from the template recording unit 124 (step S610). The control unit 11 records the created weather map in the weather map recording unit 125 (step S611). The control unit 11 displays the created weather map on the display unit 20 (step S612) and ends the process.

The control unit 11 stops power feeding to components that are not operating in order to save power of the power source of the electronic device 1.
In the process from the reception of the weather report to the recording of the voice data in the voice data recording unit 121, the control unit 11 has the recording unit 12, RAM 13, broadcast receiving unit 14, timer 23, A / D conversion unit 15, noise removal. Power supply to components other than the unit 16 is stopped.
In the process from collation of voice data to recording weather report information as text in the weather data recording unit 123, the control unit 11 is other than the recording unit 12, the RAM 13, the timer 23, the voice collation specifying unit 17, and the weather information extraction unit 18. The power supply to the components is stopped.
In the process from creating a weather map to recording it in the weather map recording unit 125, the control unit 11 stops power supply to components other than the recording unit 12, the RAM 13, the timer 23, and the weather map creation unit 19.
In the process of displaying the weather map on the display unit 20, the control unit 11 stops power supply to the components other than the recording unit 12, the RAM 13, the timer 23, and the display unit 20.

By operating the operation unit 21, the zoom magnification of the weather map displayed on the display unit 20 is changed. Thereby, the magnification of a weather map can be raised and the weather map near the mountain in which he is present can be accurately seen.
Further, the past weather map recorded in the weather map recording unit 125 is displayed on the display unit 20 by the operation of the operation unit 21. For example, a weather map for the last two to three days is displayed like a flip book or a slide show according to a time series. Thereby, the user can predict the weather one or two days later from the past weather map. Note that the electronic device 1 according to the first embodiment can record and display weather maps past two to three days as long as the recording capacity of the weather map recording unit 125 is free.

  The electronic device 1 according to the first embodiment displays various weather data recorded in the weather data recording unit 123 on the display unit 20 in time series in addition to the weather map. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating time-series changes in temperature.
