First Claim
1. A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized output signals to at least one of a plurality of communicator devices remotely located from the broadcast network, the broadcast network comprising:
- a user input database containing a plurality of user-defined parameters with each of the user-defined parameters including a user profile, the user profile in each of the user-defined parameters including a user identifier code identifying a communicator device associated with a particular user, at least one of the user defined parameters is a spatial range identifier;
a communicator location database containing real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices;
an analysis unit automatically and continuously comparing the spatial locations of the communicator devices contained in the communicator location database with data to generate individualized output signals; and
a communication network receiving the individualized output signals and transmitting the individualized output signals to the communicator devices identified by the user identifier codes.

Abstract
A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized output signals to remote communicator devices. The broadcast network is comprised of a user input database, a communicator location database, an information database, an analysis unit and a communication network. The user input database contains user-defined parameters and each of the user-defined parameters includes a user profile. The user profile in each of the user-defined parameters utilizes a user identifier 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 information database contains real-time data for the spatial locations contained in the communicator location database. The analysis unit repeatedly compares the spatial location of each communicator device contained in the communicator location database with the real-time data and generates an individualized output signal.
