Abstract
A method for providing information to a plurality of vendors located remotely from a broadcast network. A plurality of user-defined parameters are received by a user input database with at least one of the user-defined parameters including a user profile. Each of the user profiles includes a user identifier code identifying a communicator device associated with a particular user. Real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices is received by a communicator location database. Search information is received independently from a plurality of vendors and a data set is generated for each vendor.
Claims30
A system for outputting individualized output signals to a plurality of communicator devices, the system comprising:
- a communicator location database stored on non-transitory computer readable storage media remotely located from the communicator devices containing real-time data indicative of spatial locations of the plurality of communicator devices;
- a user input database stored on non-transitory computer readable storage media remotely located from the communicator devices containing a plurality of user profiles, wherein each of the user profiles is associated with a user and includes a content identifier identifying data of interest to the user and a user identifier code identifying one of the plurality of communicator devices;
- and
- an analysis unit including one or more computer processors remotely located from the communicator devices, the analysis unit configured to:
- receive data associated with spatial locations;
- generate individualized output signals for each user by selecting the data identified by the content identifier stored in the user profile associated with the user and associated with the spatial location of the communicator device associated with the user stored in the communicator location database;
- and
- output the individualized output signals to a communication network for transmittal to the plurality of communicator devices.
A method for outputting individualized output signals, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time data indicative of spatial locations of a plurality of communicator devices;
- storing the real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the plurality of communicator devices in a communicator location database stored on non-transitory computer readable storage media remotely located from the communicator devices;
- receiving a plurality of user profiles, wherein each of the user profiles is associated with a user and includes a content identifier identifying data of interest to the user and a user identifier code identifying one of the plurality of communicator devices;
- storing the user profiles in a user profile database stored on non-transitory computer readable storage media remotely located from the communicator devices;
- receiving data associated with spatial locations by an analysis unit including one or more computer processors remotely located from the communicator devices;
- generating individualized output signals for each user, by the analysis unit, by selecting the data identified by the content identifier in the user profile associated with the user for the spatial location of the communicator device associated with the user stored in the communicator location database;
- and
- outputting the individualized output signals to a communication network for transmittal to the plurality of communicator devices.
