Abstract
A system and method for outputting weather data associated with a user-specified location based on a user-specified weather inquiry, including weather data output based on user-specified weather conditions, locations output based on a user-specified weather inquiry, notifications output regarding weather-related warnings, and notifications output based on weather-related notification thresholds.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a weather information database configured to store weather data associated with a plurality of geographic locations;
- a graphical user interface configured to receive a plurality of user-specified locations and a user-defined query from a user, the user-defined query including at least one user-specified weather condition or at least one weather-related warning;
- a user information database configured to store the user-specified locations and the user-defined query received from the user via the graphical user interface;
- and
- an analysis unit configured to simultaneously output the user-specified locations that satisfy the user-defined query via the graphical user interface in either a list or a map that includes visual indications of the user-specified locations.
-74. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving weather data associated with a plurality of geographic locations;
- receiving a plurality of user-specified locations and a user-defined query from a user via a graphical user interface, the user-defined query including at least one user-specified weather condition or at least one weather-related warning;
- storing the user-specified locations and the user-defined query received from the user via the graphical user interface;
- and
- simultaneously outputting user-specified locations that satisfy the user-defined query via the graphical user interface in either a list or a map that includes visual indications of the user-specified locations.
The method of claim 75, further comprising:
- receiving via a network a location of a mobile computer system from the mobile computer system, the location of the mobile computer system determined by a location detection unit configured to determine the location of the mobile computer system;
- and
- determining the user-specified location based on a location of a mobile computer system,

-148. (canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to:
- receive weather data associated with a plurality of geographic locations;
- receive a plurality of user-specified locations and a user-defined query from a user via a graphical user interface, the user-defined query including at least one user-specified weather condition or at least one weather-related warning;
- store the user-specified locations and the user-defined query received from the user via the graphical user interface;
- and
- simultaneously output user-specified locations that satisfy the user-defined query via the graphical user interface in either a list or a map that includes visual indications of the user-specified locations.
