Interactive weather advisory system
First Claim
1. A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather output signals to 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 the user-defined parameters, a spatial range identifier, a time identifier, a weather content identifier, and 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;
a communicator location database containing real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices;
a weather analysis unit comparing the user-defined parameters with the real-time weather data so as to generate an individualized weather output signal for a plurality of user-defined parameters responsive to the weather content identifiers corresponding to real-time weather data received from a weather information database in the spatial locations identified by the spatial locations in the communicator location database and the spatial range identifiers at the time identified by the time identifiers in the plurality of user defined parameters; and
a communication network receiving the user identifier codes in the user-defined parameters and transmitting each individualized weather output signal to the particular communicator device identified by the user identifier code in the user profile included in the user-defined parameter matched with the real-time weather data.

Abstract
A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather output signals to at least one of a plurality of communicator devices remotely located from the broadcast network. The broadcast network comprises a user input database, a communicator location database, a weather analysis unit, and a communication network. The user input database contains a plurality of user profiles. At least some of the user profiles contains parameters provided from a pre-defined user profile. Each user profile includes a user identifier code. The communicator location database contains real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices. The weather analysis unit automatically and continuously compares the parameters in the user input database and the spatial locations of the corresponding communicator devices contained in the communicator location database with real-time weather data to generate individualized weather output signals. The communication network receives the user identifier codes and the individualized weather output signals. The communication network transmits each individualized weather output signal to the particular communicator device identified by the user identifier code.
