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.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- a communicator location database that repeatedly receives real-time data indicative of spatial locations of a plurality of communicator devices and is updated to reflect an updated spatial location of at least one of the plurality of communicator devices;
- a user input database containing a user profile, the user profile including a user identifier code identifying the at least one communicator device;
- and
- an analysis unit configured to:
- compare the spatial location of the at least one communicator device with real-time data;
- generate an individualized output signal based on the comparison of the spatial location of the at least one communicator device with the real-time data;
- and
- output the individualized output signal to a communication network for transmittal to the at least one communicator device.
A system, comprising:
- a communicator location database that repeatedly receives real-time data indicative of spatial locations of a plurality of communicator devices and is updated to reflect an updated spatial location of at least one of the plurality of communicator devices;
- a user input database containing a user profile, the user profile including a user identifier code identifying the at least one communicator device;
- and
- an analysis unit configured to:
- output the data indicative of the spatial location of the at least one communicator device with a request to generate an individualized output signal based on a comparison of the spatial location of the at least one communicator device with real-time data;
- receive the individualized output signal generated based on the comparison of the spatial location of the at least one communicator device with the real-time data;
- and
- output the individualized output signal to a communication network for transmittal to the at least one communicator device.
A method of outputting an individualized output signal, the method comprising:
- receiving a user profile, the user profile including a user identifier code identifying a communicator device;
- repeatedly receiving real-time data indicative of a spatial location of the communicator device;
- updating the communicator location database to reflect an updated spatial location of the communicator device;
- and
- outputting the individualized output signal to a communication network for transmittal to the communicator device, wherein the individualized output signal is generated based on a comparison of the spatial location of the communicator device with real-time data.
