Abstract

A method for transmitting individualized real-time work assignments to a plurality of employees located remotely from a broadcast network. An analysis unit compares user profiles, dynamic locations stored in the communicator location database, fixed locations, and job assignments entered into the analysis unit. A data set of at least one individualized work assignment is generated and the individualized work assignment is transmitted to the employee via the employee's communicator device. A method of generating individualized real-time weather and environmental data including the steps of receiving a plurality of user profiles with at least two of the user profiles identifying communicator devices, designated locations and identifications of pre-determined weather and environmental sensors associated with the designated locations, analyzing a weather and environmental information database as well as sensor data from the pre-determined weather and environmental sensors to generate individualized weather output signals and transmitting the weather and environmental output signals to communicator devices identified in the user profiles.

receiving a plurality of user profiles with at least two of the user profiles identifying communicator devices, designated locations and identifications of pre-determined weather and environmental sensors associated with the designated locations;

analyzing a weather and environmental information database as well as sensor data from the pre-determined weather and environmental sensors to generate individualized weather and environmental output signals; and

transmitting the weather and environmental output signals to communicator devices identified in the user profiles.
