Abstract:
Natural-phenomenological information is personalized to the unique requirements of a subscriber and distributed to the subscriber. Natural-phenomenological data is gathered from a variety of sources, such as current ground observations, forecast conditions, satellite images, and radar data. Personal preferences of the subscribers are also gathered and stored, such as activities of the subscriber, geographic locations of the activities, sensitivities of the subscriber to natural-phenomenological conditions, calendar information of the subscriber, and modes of delivery. The personal preferences of the subscriber are used as a filter to identify the natural-phenomenological data that is particularly useful to the subscriber, and the resulting information is delivered to the subscriber. The subscriber identifies the destination device that the information is delivered to. The invention is extensible to support new sources of natural-phenomenological information and new output devices.

International Classification:
G06F015/16 H04Q007/20
US Classification:
709/203000, 455/457000
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided through which a radar image centered on a location of interest, is displayed. Alternatively, other predetermined personal locations that are within the range of the radar display are also displayed in the radar image. The personal locations are stored in a database, and the location of interest is selected from the personal locations. The radar image is dynamic, and changes when a different location of interest is selected from the list of personal locations. In another embodiment, the location of interest is the current physical location of the computer.

International Classification:
G01C 21/00
US Classification:
701213000, 709203000, 340989000
Abstract:
A geo-temporal information display system includes a wireless telecommunications device connected to a geo-temporal information server. The wireless telecommunications device includes a display. The geo-temporal information server contains geo-temporal information and at least one map. The map includes at least one particular location which, for example, may be the location if the telecommunications device. The telecommunications device receives a user-customized subset of the geo-temporal information. The subset may be a specific type of weather data, such as precipitation or lightning. The subset may also represent other geo-temporal information. This subset is displayed concurrently with the map on the display of the wireless telecommunications device.
An information distribution system includes at least a first partner device and a second partner device. The first partner device is configured to execute partner software including an obtain module and a transmit module. The obtain module configured to obtain information from surroundings of the first partner device and the transmit module configured to transmit the obtained information. The second partner device is configured to execute partner software including a receive module and a display module. The receive module is configured to receive the information transmitted by the first partner device and the display module is configured to display the information received from the first partner device.
Systems And Methods For Organizing An Event And Tracking Attendance Status

International Classification:
G06F 17/30 G06F 7/00
US Classification:
707001000
Abstract:
A user accesses an organization device and schedules a location-specific event. The user has the option of inviting event participants, who can send to the organization device a response regarding the participation status of the invitee. The organization device tracks the participation status of each invitee. The organization device can also provide the participation status of each invitee to other invitees. In some cases, the organization device can communicate with a portable, location-aware electronic device of one or more of the invitees. In such cases, the organization device can also track and provide the arrival status of these invitees.
Method And System For Display Of Weather-Related Information

Assignee:
EarthWatch Communications, Inc. - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
G06F16900
US Classification:
702 3
Abstract:
A method and a system for the display of weather-related information are described. The display is interactive, three-dimensional, and weather forecaster-immersive. A three-dimensional image from a computer is integrated with a video feed source of a weather forecaster preferably in real time, so that the resulting image is a weather forecaster who is inside or a part of the visualized weather information. The integrated images of the forecaster and the weather display are preferably generated quickly, so that they appear animated when shown in succession.
Method For Creating A 3-D Image Of Terrain And Associated Weather

International Classification:
G06F 1554
US Classification:
364420
Abstract:
A weather visualization system retrieves a static terrain map which is merged with dynamic weather information. The dynamic weather information may be provided from weather radar, weather satellite or remote weather observation sites. The terrain map is combined with the weather information to provide a three-dimensional weather image relative to the terrain map. The system can generate a sequence of images to provide a "fly by" animation. Path data can also be input so that a fly by of a projected storm path can be displayed. Other dynamic information can be displayed relative to the terrain map such as the locations of fires and accidents. Weather information which can be displayed includes storms, clouds, rain, snow, hail, tornadoes and severe weather. The system includes time and date information to generate appropriate shadows in the three-dimensional image.
