Method and Apparatus of Transmitting, Receiving, Displaying and Playing Weather Data
First Claim
1. A method of remotely monitoring a first location from a second location comprising:
- transmitting from a transmitter time synchronized data through a tower access, said transmission comprising header information;
based on header information in the transmission, activating one or more receiver systems at intervals to receive data,wherein each of the one or more receiver systems are configured to receive and display data for multiple different locations over a geographic region determined by the header information in the transmission, andwherein one or more sensor devices are located at each of the multiple different locations, and said sensor devices are used for remote monitoring.

Abstract
A transmitter transmits time synchronized data via a pager/WiMax/802.x access to a receiver system, wherein the receiver system is programmed to receive data for specific geographic locations. The geographic locations may be specified by the user or by the receiver system, and includes state, zip codes, towns, counties, towns, or cardinal regions. The receiver is able to find its location when outside its cell region and is able to synchronize to the data transmitted in the new cell region. Further, the receiver system is able to remotely monitor weather data and other information at a different location via wireless Internet or voice over IP. A transceiver may also be used to receive weather or alert data. In response to receiving data, the transceiver transmits the data to low powered devices in a house using a different frequency band than the frequency band it received the data.
