INTERACTIVE WEATHER ADVISORY SYSTEM

摘要

A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather outputsignals to remote communicator devices. The broadcast network is comprised of a userinput database, a communicator location database, a weath er information database, a weather analysis unit and a communication network. T he user input database contains user-defined parameters and each of the user- defined parameters includes a spatial range identifier and a user profile. T he user profile in each of the user-defined parameters utilizes a user identifi er code and identifies a communicator device associated with a particular user. The communicator location database contains real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices. The weather information database contains real-time weather data for the spatial locations contained in the communicator location database. The weather analysis unit repeatedly compares the spatial range identifier included in the user-defined parameter s and the spatial location of each communicator device contained in the communicator location database with the real-time weather data and generates an individualized weather output signal including weather information within the spatial range identified by the spatial range identifier for each user- defined parameter. Thecommunication network transmits each individualized weather output signal to the particular communicator identified by the user identifier code defined in the user profile included in the user-defined parameter corresponding to the real-time weather data whereby a user can receive weather information in real-time specific to the user's immediate location regardless of whether or not the user's location remains fixed or dynamic throughout time.
