Description

交互式报告系统
本申请为于2008年9月18日提交、申请号为200780009597.4、发明名称为“交互式报告系统”的中国专利申请的分案申请。所述母案申请的国际申请日为2007年1月16日,国际申请号为PCT/US2007/001035。
技术领域
本发明涉及信息处理,具体地涉及交互式报告系统。
背景技术
近年间,对于诸如气象信息的详细信息的需求急剧上升。因为其收集,处理,发送与接收数据的能力,各种个人计算机及通讯设备提升了对更多信息的要求。结果,专业化情报和增值服务的需求量很大。最终用户不再希望收集,处理及评价原始的数据。例如,没有什么地方这种状况比横跨北美的气象服务更明显。
多年前,无线电和电视广播公司从它们的受众处认识到对气象信息不断增加的需求,并因此把增加气象部分的广播数量作为提高市场地位的手段。现今,对气象信息中的特定内容的需求已经超过广播公司满足这些需求的能力。实际上商务及个人活动的每个方面都连续地受到天气好坏的影响。
在美国等大多数国家,政府机构(美国国家气象局)承担为公众制作气象产品的重要责任。诸如报告,陈述和预报等的这些产品被制作出来并且使其可以被诸如广播公司,报纸,因特网网站,寻呼公司及其他等的第三方得到,这些第三方转而将其向公众发布。然而,这样的数据管理的信道是单向的。
现今的生活方式是快节奏的和复杂的。在特定应用中对于详细气象信息的要求在数量上超过了政府处理这些信息的能力。然而,遵守它们被授予的职责,国家气象局为公众提供每日两次的一般产品。这种状况迫使公众解读一般的和过时的报告来满足他们的需要。往往,这些解读都被错误地得出。甚至更糟,这些产品通常是区域性或国家范围内的,以及可能不能应用于正在进行各种局部活动的具体地点。
举例来说,气象警报通过广播站点在全美国范围内广播。这些警报在指定的范围内标识一定的天气影响。在大多数情况下,警报区域包括一个或多个县,覆盖几十到几百平方英里。往往,这些威胁(例如大雷暴,龙卷风等)仅影响警报区域内非常小的区域。这些威胁也会迅速地移动。当影响接近特定区域时,实际上也正在远离警报区域内的其他区域。基本上,现有的报告系统不能胜任对个人危险性作出具体的标识和适当的警告。此外,如果威胁逼近,现有的系统不能以及不会为每个接近或者处于威胁之下的用户提供防护性措施。因此,由于这些缺陷,当威胁可能正在远离远处的或未受影响的用户所在位置时,这些用户仍被不必要地置于"警戒状态"。
另一个普通的实例进一步阐明该问题。激动地将要参加即将到来的周末冠军垒球赛的某个家庭密切地监听本地天气预报。整整一周的预报都报告比赛日的天气为晴到少云。比赛日一早预报变更为少云,傍晚有百分之三十的降雨可能。相信降雨的可能性低于他们感觉的危险度,该家庭决定参加该比赛。该家庭不知道的是,在正午,密集的阵雨不断加强,并且在比赛场上将有危险的闪电。而上午的天气预报是不完全错误的,但是参与者和观众都被暴露于危险之中。如果后来被问起,则可能该家庭的成员没有听到或者不记得天气预报。他们也没有能将他们有限的气象知识与他们自己的需要以及危险暴露相联系。他们没有监控气象情况的变化。最可能的是,他们不具备监控比赛中正在显露的危险的能力。很明显,这些人不得不解读过时的及有限的信息并将其用于他们具体的应用场合。
因此,存在对能自动地和连续地向消费者提供与消费者定义的要求水平或动态的空间位置相关的定制的记录,报告,警报,预测及警告的系统的需要。本发明针对的就是这样一种系统。
发明内容
本发明提供了一种交互式报告系统及传递个性化信息的方法。更具体地说,本发明涉及用于向远程通信装置有选择地传送个性化输出信号的广播网。该广播网包括用户输入数据库,通信装置位置数据库,分析单元和通信网络。
用户输入数据库包含用户定义参数,以及每一个用户定义参数理想地包括空间范围标识符和用户概况。每一个用户定义参数中的用户概况至少标识与特定用户相关联的通信装置。通信装置位置数据库包含指示通信装置空间位置的实时数据。在本发明的一个优选方案中,通信装置位置数据库由通信装置自动地和/或不断地更新。
信息数据库包含数据,诸如用于至少是包含在通信装置位置数据库中的空间位置的实时气象数据。术语"数据"描述的是各式各样的产品,包括但不限于过去和现在的气象事件的状况,文本产品,图形产品等。分析单元接收来自信息数据库的实时数据,并自动地和不断地将包括在用户定义参数中的空间范围标识符和包含在通信装置位置数据库中的相应通信装置的空间位置与实时数据进行比较,并且根据用户的要求乃至不断地在由用户定义参数的空间范围标识符标识的空间范围内产生诸如气象信息的个性化输出信号。当由通信装置位置数据库定义新的位置时,信息数据库被实时自动地更新。
通信网络向包括在相应于实时数据和事件预测的用户定义参数中的用户概况中定义的特定通信装置传送每一个个性化输出信号。因此,用户可以接收对于用户即时空间位置特定的实时信息而不考虑用户的位置在整个时段是否保持固定或动态。
在一个实施例中,本发明被用于定位处于远离广播网的位置的至少一个已知的或未知的个体。
通过下文结合附图的详尽叙述和附后的权利要求,本发明的其他优点及特征对于本领域的熟练技术人员而言是显而易见的。

具体实施方式
下文将参照附图并且更具体地参照以框图形式在本文中显示的图1说明根据本发明构成的交互式气象报告系统的形式的本发明的一个实施例。气象报告系统8配备用于向远程通信装置11有选择地传送个性化气象输出信号的广播网10。广播网10包括气象分析单元12,用户输入数据库14,通信装置位置数据库16和通信网络20。气象分析单元12从气象信息数据库21实时接收气象数据。气象信息数据库21可以位于广播网10中或者远离广播网10。气象分析单元12,用户输入数据库14,通信装置位置数据库16,气象信息数据库21和通信网络20通过信号通路22,24,26,28,30和32相互关联并通信。
用户输入数据库14允许多个用户输入相应于气象记录,报告或预报的数据,以使个性化的气象记录,报告或事件预测可以传输到每一个单个用户。用户输入数据库14包含代表与多个用户中的每一个用户相关联的至少一个用户定义参数的数据。在本发明的一个方案中,每一个用户定义参数包括与气象输出信号有关的各种信息,诸如空间范围标识符,用户概况,用于标识特定气象模型的一个或多个气象内容标识符,用于标识用户可能要求气象产品的特定时间或时间间隔的一个或多个时间标识符,空间位置固定或动态代码,以及如果空间位置固定或动态代码显示空间位置将被固定时用于标识对用户有意义的特定空间位置的空间位置标识符。每一个用户定义参数中的用户概况至少包括用于标识与特定用户关联的特定通信装置11的用户标识符代码。
例如,用户标识符代码可以是标识在这一情况下可以是例如移动电话或寻呼机的一个通信装置11的移动电话号码。气象内容标识符可以是标识一种或多种气候状况或事件,诸如龙卷风、雷暴、雹暴、闪电暴雷、阵雨、暴风雪、雪暴、疾风、高空风,气压的快速上升下降或其他这样的气象模型或状况的计算机代码。时间标识符理想地可以是用于标识用户要求交互式气象报告系统8向用户传递气象数据或监视特定时间和/或日期的实时气象数据的特定时间,次数或时间间隔的计算机代码。空间位置标识符26可以是标识诸如举例但不限于世界上任何地方的经纬度,城镇,县,镇区,地址,邮政编码,海拔高度及其组合的特定的预定空间位置的计算机代码。
如上所述,空间位置标识符标识世界上任何地方的特定空间位置和/或海拔高度。空间范围标识符标识围绕空间位置标识符的特定的空间范围。每一个用户能够选择空间位置标识符和空间范围标识符以便接收由空间位置标识符标识的空间位置的和由空间范围标识符标识的空间范围内的天气预报和/或气象报告或任何其它的气象信息。
例如,参考图2,图中显示图解由本发明的不同用户选择的四个空间位置标识符和四个空间范围标识符的坐标系。也就是,一个用户选择空间位置标识符(X1,Y1,Z1)和空间范围标识符(R1)。另一个用户选择空间位置标识符(X2,Y2,Z2)和空间范围标识符(R2)。
选择空间位置标识符(X1,Y1,Z1)和空间范围标识符R1的用户将接收到有关由空间位置标识符(X1,Y1,Z1)和空间范围标识符R1标识的空间范围的气象产品和报告,如在其用户输入数据库中预先定义的那样。选择空间位置标识符(X2,Y2,Z2)和空间范围标识符R2的用户将接收到有关由空间位置标识符(X2,Y2,Z2)和空间范围标识符R2标识的空间范围的气象产品和报告,如在用户输入数据库14中预先定义的那样。同样,选择空间位置标识符(X3,Y3,Z3)和(X4,Y4,Z4)以及空间范围标识符R3和R4的用户将接收到有关由空间位置标识符(X3,Y3,Z3),(X4,Y4,Z4)和空间范围标识符R3,R4标识的空间范围的气象产品和报告,如在用户输入数据库14中预先定义的那样。
空间范围标识符R1,R2,R3和R4的数值可以不同或相同。此外,空间范围标识符R1,R2,R3和R4的数值能够广泛地改变和由用户按要求选择。
特定的用户能够通过任何合适的方法将用户定义参数输入到用户输入数据库14中。例如,用户输入数据库14理想地配置成诸如逐字地通过电话客户服务网,配备无线应用协议技术的移动电话网,电子邮件,个人数字助理,便携式计算机或交互式网站从各个由用户优选的可选源获取其数据。此外,用户能够将用户定义参数邮寄到广播网10,并且在广播网10中的个体能够通过键盘或其它类似的输入装置将用户定义参数直接输入到用户输入数据库14中。在一个实施例中,用户通过用户的通信装置11将所选择的信息输入到用户输入数据库14中。
气象信息数据库21包含至少是包含在通信装置位置数据库16中的空间位置和用户输入数据库14中的由空间位置标识符标识的空间位置的实时气象数据。气象分析单元12基于实时气象数据产生所有气象事件的预测。气象信息数据库21从诸如举例但不限于政府气象信息资源,私营气象信息资源及其他各种气象资源的多个可能资源中的至少一个资源按要求接收实时气象数据。实时气象数据也能够在气象信息数据库21的实际地点直接输入,或者通过移动电话网,配备无线应用协议的移动电话网,因特网,飞机通信系统,电子邮件,个人数字助理,便携式计算机,台式计算机或其它无线设备输入。
或者,气象信息数据库21可以包含至少是包含在通信装置位置数据库16中的空间位置和用户输入数据库14中的由空间位置标识符标识的空间位置的气象预测数据和/或天气预报数据。在本实施例中,气象分析单元12根据实时气象数据产生所有气象事件的预测。
通信装置位置数据库16是本发明的一个可选特征,并且当用户请求在用户通信装置11的动态空间位置的实时气象报告或事件预测时能通过信号通道22实现。通信装置位置数据库16被不断地更新,使通信装置位置数据库16包含指示通信装置11的空间位置的实时数据。在一个实施例中,用户概况中的用户标识符代码通过信号通道22传输到通信装置位置数据库16。通信装置位置数据库16通过诸如移动电话网,配备无线应用协议技术的移动电话网,全球定位卫星技术,因特网,远距离无线电导航技术,雷达技术,转发(transponder)技术或任何其它类型的能够追踪通信装置11的空间位置并将这样的通信装置11的位置传送到广播网10的通信装置位置数据库16的技术的各种可能资源中的至少一种资源按要求从由用户标识符代码标识的通信装置11接收数据。更好,通信装置位置数据库16诸如通过无线应用协议技术对每一个通信装置11的位置进行不断的并且自动的更新。或者,通信装置位置数据库16可以根据用户的要求对每一个通信装置11的位置进行更新,如通过无线应用协议技术。
通信网络20可以是举例但不限于移动电话网,配备无线应用协议技术的移动电话网,因特网,传真网,卫星网络(单路或双路),RF无线电网,或从源向终端用户传输信息的任何其他手段。
通信装置11可以是双向的或单向的通信装置。通信装置11可以是举例但不限于诸如移动电话,智能电话,寻呼机,便携式计算机或个人数字助理的便携式设备,或能够接收气象信息数据的任何其它电子设备。此外,通信装置11可以结合到被用户使用或用户可以接近的物体中,诸如头盔,汽车或飞机中。虽然为了说明的目的在图1中仅出现了三个通信装置11,但是交互式气象报告系统8预期能够利用大量通信装置11。
气象分析单元12从信号通道24,26和28接收用户输入数据库14,通信装置位置数据库16和气象信息数据库21中的数据。气象分析单元12可以是举例但不限于理想地编程为自动地并且不断地比较用户输入数据库14,通信装置位置数据库16和气象信息数据库21中的数据以便产生包括由空间范围标识符标识的空间范围内的用于用户输入数据库14中的每个用户定义参数的气象信息的个性化气象输出信号的计算机。气象输出信号通过信号通道32传输到通信网络20。
气象分析单元12从气象信息数据库21收集实时气象数据。本文使用的术语"实时气象数据"指的是被连续地更新以便指示当前的或接近当前的信息的气象数据。在有些情况下,"实时气象数据"可以滞后例如5分钟,15分钟或30分钟的相对小的增量。在其他情况下,"实时气象数据"可以基本上不配备滞后。可以期望的是,当通信网络和气象相关的技术变得更快时所述增量将变得更小。
气象分析单元12产生所有气象相关事件的预测并且比较包含在气象信息数据库21中的过去的和当前的事件(诸如将来的位置,强度,轨道等)以构建四维的数据库。数据库的三维空间定义地表上或地表上方的物理位置(空间位置标识符(X1,Y1,Z1))。第四维是时间,过去的,现在的或将来的时间(标识为T1,T2,T3,T4)。通过使用实时高速计算机处理器,气象分析单元12将特定位置(X1,Y1,Z1,T1)的所有事件(过去,当前和预测)与完全相同的用户提供的数据(用户输入数据库-X1,Y1,Z1,R1,T1)进行比较,并且通过通信网络20和通讯装置11标识与用户的任何匹配(气象输出信号)。
通信网络20通过信号通道32和30接收气象输出信号和用户标识代码。作为对其的响应,通信网络20通过信号通道34a,34b和34c将个性化的气象输出信号传送到与用户标识代码相关联的通信装置11,这样,每一个用户接收到被请求的个性化的气象信息。
信号通道34a,34b和34c是指允许电子通信的任何合适的通信连接。举例来说,信号通道34a,34b和34c可以是点对点共用的和专用的通信通道,红外线连接,微波连接,电话连接,CATV连接,卫星和无线电连接以及光纤连接。
气象信息的各种组合可以结合到用户输入数据库14中以便向用户提供经选择的和特定的气象信息。例如,在其汽车中旅行的用户在其从起点旅行到目的地时可能希望由交互式气象报告系统8通知他关于以其交通工具方圆2.5英里半径的区域内所有雹暴的信息。用户例如通过在其交通工具中与带有无线应用协议的移动电话网络(通信网络20)协同工作的智能电话(通信装置11)将所选择的信息,也就是用户的智能电话号码(用户标识符代码),冰雹(气象内容标识符),2.5英里半径(空间范围标识符24)和动态的空间位置(用户的智能电话的空间位置于是被自动地并不断地受到监控)等输入到用户输入数据库14中。
于是,在旅行期间,交互式气象报告系统8监控气象分析单元12中的气象信息和事件预测,如果雹暴被探测到或者高度可能在沿交通工具的旅行路线上交通工具方圆2.5英里半径内形成,则向用户的智能电话传送个性化的气象输出信号。
个性化气象输出信号可以是音频,视频,文本和/或图形数据信号。例如,个性化气象输出信号可以是.WAV文档或者包含真实的或假想的个体对用户讲述个性化消息的动画形象的其他适合的文档。在上文给出的实例中,个性化信息可以是雹暴在交通工具前方2.5英里处,因此,用户应该考虑停车一小段时间以便躲过雹暴。或者,个性化信息可以是雹暴在交通工具前方2.5英里处,因此,用户应该考虑停车,直至由另一个个性化气象输出信号进一步通知以便躲过雹暴。换句话说,气象分析单元12可以通过通信网络20和通信装置11向用户传送另一个个性化气象输出信号,通知用户由气象内容标识符标识的气象状况已经过去或者超出由空间范围标识符标识的空间位置。
作为另一个实例,用户可能希望被通知特定的动态空间位置的特定空间范围内的所有实时气象数据和事件预测。例如,用户可能对从Oklahoma城飞向Tulsa,Oklahoma时其飞机是否会遭受结冰的危险感兴趣。为了提供合适水平的舒适感和安全性,用户可能希望被通知其飞机的动态空间位置10英里内的结冰情况。用户例如通过在其飞机中与带有无线应用协议的移动电话网络(通信网络20)协同工作的智能电话或其他适当的航空电子设备(通信装置11)将所选择的信息,也就是用户的智能电话号码(用户标识符代码),结冰(气象内容标识符),10英里半径(空间范围标识符24)和动态的空间位置输入到用户输入数据库14中。当飞机从(X1,Y1,Z1,T1)到(X4,Y4,Z4,T4)穿过时间和空间时,用户的智能电话或其它合适的航空电子设备的空间位置于是被自动地和不断地受到监控。然后交互式气象分析单元12监控气象信息数据库21中的实时气象数据和气象分析单元12中的预测事件,以便向用户的智能电话或其它航空电子设备传送标识与飞机的10英里半径相关的是否探测到结冰或者是否高度可能形成结冰的个性化气象输出信号。
作为还有一个实例,或许用户仅对在特定的固定空间位置及特定空间范围内特定的气象模型感兴趣,而不考虑通信装置11的直接位置。为了达到用户的请求,广播网10不利用通信装置位置数据库16。用户将所选择的信息,也就是用户的电话号码(用户标识符代码),用户感兴趣的特定气象模型的代码(气象内容标识符),用户感兴趣的空间位置周围的空间范围(空间范围标识符),和用户感兴趣的空间位置(空间位置标识符)输入到用户输入数据库14中。然后气象分析单元12监控气象信息数据库21中的实时气象数据和气象分析单元12中的预测事件,以便传送与用户请求的空间位置和范围中的气象模型相关的个性化气象信息。
作为进一步的实例,或许用户仅对特定时间在空间位置和特定空间范围内特定的气象状况感兴趣。用户将所选择的信息,也就是用户的电话号码(用户标识符代码),用户感兴趣的特定气象模型的代码(气象内容标识符),用户感兴趣的空间位置周围的空间范围(空间范围标识符和用户感兴趣的空间位置的空间位置标识符)和用户希望被通知在感兴趣的空间位置的气象状况的时间和日期(时间标识符)输入到用户输入数据库14中。作为对其的响应,气象分析单元12从气象信息数据库21监控由空间范围标识符和空间位置标识符标识的空间位置和范围的实时气象数据以确定特定的气象类型在由时间标识符标识的时间发生的可能性。气象分析单元12通过信号通道32向通信网络20发送个性化气象输出信号。通信网络20通过信号通道30从用户输入数据库14接收用户标识符代码并将从气象分析单元12接收到的气象输出信号传送到由用户标识符代码标识的特定的通信装置11。这样,用户接收到与由用户请求的空间位置,空间范围和时间相关的个性化气象信息。
信号通道22,24,26,28,30和32可以是用于实现本发明的各种软件和/或硬件之间的逻辑的和/或实体的连接。应该理解的是,为了清楚地说明本发明的各个组件之间传输的信息和逻辑通信的单一目的,每一个信号通道22,24,26,28,30和32在本文被分别显示和描述。在运行中,信号通道可以不是分离的信号通道而可以是单个信号通道。此外,各种信息并不是必须在本发明的组件之间按图1所示的方式流动。例如,虽然图1显示用户标识符代码通过信号通道30直接从用户输入数据库14传送到通信网络20,但是用户标识符代码也可以通过信号通道24传送到气象分析单元12然后通过信号通道32传送到通信网络20。
应该理解的是,虽然用户已经被描述为人工将用户标识符代码输入到用户输入数据库14中,但是用户标识符代码也可以由通信装置11自动地输入到用户输入数据库14中。
一旦用户定义参数已被输入到用户输入数据库14中,用户定义参数就可以与用于目标市场行为的气象内容标识符一起由气象分析单元12进行分析。多个供应商36可以被提供通过多个信号通道38a,38b和38c对广播网10的气象分析单元12的访问。供应商36可以独立地将搜索信息输入到气象分析单元12中,用于搜集对供应商36有用的信息数据组。
例如,出售吹雪机业务的特定供应商36a可以将气象内容标识符和时间标识符输入到气象分析单元12中,以便请求在美国下周预计遭受至少10英寸积雪的所有空间位置的列表。于是,气象分析单元12将基于存储在气象信息数据库21中的至少一个气象内容标识符,时间标识符和实时气象数据搜集在美国下周预计遭受至少10英寸积雪的所有空间位置的数据组。然后该数据组被输出到供应商36a。根据这些数据组,供应商36a可以向数据组中标识的区域发送广告或追加的吹雪机。
作为另一个实例,出售吹雪机业务的特定供应商36a可以将气象内容标识符和时间标识符输入到气象分析单元12中,以便请求标识居住在美国下周预计会遭受至少10英寸积雪的空间位置的所有用户的用户概况的列表。于是,气象分析单元12将基于存储在气象信息数据库21中的至少一个气象内容标识符,时间标识符,用户概况和实时气象数据搜集在美国下周预计遭受至少10英寸积雪的所有空间位置的数据组。然后该数据组被输出到供应商36a。根据这些数据组,供应商36a可以向数据组中标识的用户发送广告。
可以预期,用户将订购由广播网10提供的服务。在这一点上,广播网10可以向用户收取服务费或者可以不收费。此外,广播网10可以因一项收费提供某些服务,以及以更高的收费提供其他服务。
为了节约处理能力,气象分析单元12可以定期地确定哪一个通信装置11被关闭或者处在范围之外。一旦这些被确定,气象分析单元12于是将不为这些关闭的或者处于范围之外的通信装置11产生任何个性化气象输出信号。一旦特定的一个通信装置11被打开或进入范围内,气象分析单元12于是将尝试为这样的通信装置11产生个性化气象输出信号。换句话说,为了节约处理能力,气象分析单元12可以仅为活动的和处在范围内的通信装置11产生个性化气象输出信号。
气象分析单元12可以位于广播网10中。或者,气象分析单元12可以与广播网10的其他部分分离并且作为向广播网10的一种服务而设置。
在一个优选实施例中,不是用户向用户输入数据库14提供用户定义参数或者除了用户向用户输入数据库14提供用户定义参数之外,用户输入数据库14被编程为提供多个预定义的用户概况,每一个预定义的用户概况针对由用户指定的活动并选择性地包括该活动的日期和时间。所述活动可以是商务的,个人的或娱乐的需要。例如,商务需要可以是取决于天气状况或被天气状况影响开展想要的活动的任何工作,例如但不限于牧场主,承包商,农场主或油漆工。个人的需要可以是正面地或负面地受到天气状况影响的任何活动,例如但不限于由房主履行的职责,诸如割草坪,油漆房屋,修剪树木等。娱乐的需要可以是依赖于天气状况的任何娱乐或其他室外活动,例如但不限定于高尔夫球,骑脚踏车,划船,徒步,钓鱼或滑雪。
在该情况中,用户选择或提供一种活动或种类或者向用户输入数据库14提供该活动或种类。用户输入数据库14检索关于这样的活动或种类的预定义信息并存储这样的预定义信息或者将其用户的用户概况相链接。于是,如上所述,广播网10和/或气象分析单元12的功能是提供气象警报或关于包含在用户的用户概况中的信息的其他信息。
例如,用户可能打算在特定周末的上午9:00到下午4:00的时间内打高尔夫球。在该情况下,用户将选择用于"打高尔夫球"的预定义用户概况和这样的计划活动的时间框架。计划活动的位置还可以输入到用户输入数据库14中,或者通信装置11的位置可以由通信装置位置数据库16监控。包含在预定义用户概况中的信息输入到用户输入数据库14中,然后如上所述产生被输出的气象警报和预测。
预定义用户概况由标识通常适合于和/或不利于各个指定活动的天气状况的广播网10和/或气象分析单元12的构成部件确定。这样,例如,用于"打高尔夫球"的预定义用户概况将包含诸如风况,闪电,雨,温度及其他条件的将正面地或负面地影响高尔夫球活动的数据。预定义用户概况中的数据可以在用户选择活动前后确定。
如果用户想要,则广播网10和/或气象分析单元12可以承担产生空间范围标识符的合适尺寸的责任(如用户概况或预定义用户概况的情况一样)。或者,空间范围标识符可以由气象事件的性质决定。在后一种情况下,广播网10和/或气象分析单元12的构成部件将确定围绕各个将要或可能发生的气象事件的"关注区域",并且通信网络20则将向可能与该关注区域接触的任何用户或通信装置11发送通知。
例如,龙卷风可能有1/2英里宽,以及广播网10和/或气象分析单元12将根据其经验,知识和/或能力确定关注区域为1/2英里宽和8英里长并向东北方向移动。如上所述,任何包含在用户输入数据库14中的用户将会被通知用户的位置是否将与"关注区域"接触。
该系统的其他用途
如图3-4所示的是可以用于传递其他类型的信息或用于更精确地预测气象相关事件的报告系统8a和8b。报告系统8a和8b除了如下所述的方面以外在结构上和功能上与气象报告系统8相似。为了明确性的目的,为类似的组件提供相同的数字前缀和不同的字母后缀。
报告系统8a配备广播网10a。在一个实施例中,广播网10a用于例如从雇主向雇员传送个性化的实时工作任务。广播网10a配备分析单元12a,通信装置位置数据库16a和通信装置11a和11b。这里的通信装置11a被称作"雇主通信装置",通信装置11b被称为"雇员通信装置"。通信装置位置数据库16a被不断地更新以包含指示通信装置11a和11b的空间位置的实时数据。按与如上所述类似的方式,分析单元12a在用户概况(以方框80a代表),存储在通信装置位置数据库16a中的动态位置,以方框82a代表的固定位置和从一个雇主通信装置11a输入分析单元12a的工作任务之间进行比较。系统8a可以进一步描述为说明在系统8a内输送的信息类型的雇主系统40a和雇员系统42a。
例如,用方框84a代表,雇主使用雇主通信装置11a将诸如工作地点,工作进度,熟练要求,个性品质及其他标准的雇员信息和/或标准输入到雇员用户概况中。进一步,雇主将诸如工作地点,工作进度,熟练要求,个性品质及其他标准的劳动或工作任务标准输入到分析单元12a中。雇主将上述标准输入到一个雇主通信装置11a中,该雇主通信装置11a可以是例如计算机,个人数字助理(PDA),移动电话,移动电话/PDA的组合体,或可以向分析单元12a传送雇员信息和/或工作任务标准的任何其他设备。分析单元12a可以是例如计算机或网络服务器。分析单元12a将雇员用户概况标准与工作任务标准进行匹配以产生至少一个个性化工作任务的数据组。
个性化实时工作任务根据工作任务标准与雇员用户概况的匹配传输到一个雇员通信装置11b。数据组能够传输到雇主通信装置11a,使雇主能够复核该数据组并将工作任务分配到特定的一个雇员,或者,分析单元12a能够自动地将工作任务分配到特定的一个雇员,从而不要雇主的任何介入便将工作任务传送到雇员的通信装置11b。雇员的通信装置11b可以是例如PDA,移动电话,移动电话/PDA的组合体,寻呼机或分析单元12a或雇主能向雇员传送信息的任何其他设备。
每一个雇员的用户概况包括诸如个性,销售风格,穿着,熟练度,位置,进度的与雇员的特性有关的信息,或与特定的雇员有关的任何其他品质或特性。此外,用户概况最好可由雇主通信装置11a和雇员通信装置11b访问。然而,优选的是雇主通信装置11a有权访问完全的用户概况,而雇员通信装置11b仅有权访问用户概况的子集。因此,可由雇主系统40a访问的用户概况可能不同于可由雇员系统42a访问的用户概况。
例如,可由雇主系统40a访问的用户概况可以包括与特定雇员相关的对雇员保密或不可知的特性。例如,用方框86a代表,雇员可以有权访问存储在其用户概况中的信息,诸如位置,进度,熟练度及其他标准,以及当需要时能够被提供对其用户概况的访问以更新信息。除了上述雇员可访问的信息之外,雇主可以有权访问雇员用户概况以输入和访问雇员特性,诸如个性,销售风格,穿着和熟练度,以及可以在需要时被提供访问以更新这些信息。
在另一个实施例中,系统8a用于根据货物载体的实时位置传送货物。更具体地,系统8a可用于接纳买主在线定购的产品以便快速而有效地向买主指定的位置发送货物。
分析单元12a加载雇员用户概况和位置。分析单元12a标识位于买主位置附近的递送人(雇员)。雇员用户概况的一部分可以包括雇员运货车上的货物清单。雇员不需要知道位于他的运货车上的是什么货物,只需要知道他的递送目的地。
例如,买主可以在线定购新鲜的产品。雇主可以将买主的定购(工作任务)输入到雇主通信装置11a(其将工作任务输入到分析单元12a中)中,使分析单元12a可以确定哪个递送人能向买主有效地递送指定货物。还有,通过在线订购,买主可以将他的订单直接发送到分析单元12a,使分析单元12a自动地确定向买主递送货物的合适的递送人,并通过雇员的通信装置11b向该递送人发送任务。此外,雇主更新用户概况以追踪并监控位于雇员的运货车上的确切的货物,正被递送的货物,以及可能被从运货车偷窃的任何货物。
在还有另一个实施例中,系统8a可以用于向招揽新客户的区域派遣销售人员。例如,公司可以接收到来自某一销售引导人的询价。有关该引导人的信息作为来自雇主通信装置11a的工作任务输入分析单元12a。然后分析单元12a基于存储在推销员的用户概况中的信息确定派遣到该引导人处的合适的推销员。推销员的用户概况可以包括诸如推销员位置,个性品质,穿着风格的信息或用于确定哪个推销员可以是派遣到引导人处的合适人选的其他属性。
如图4所示的是根据本发明构成的另一个报告系统8b。报告系统8b包括广播网10b。除了广播网10b包括个性化的传感器网络48a外,广播网10b在结构上和功能上与上述广播网10类似,该个性化的传感器网络48a具有气象与环境传感器48b,这些传感器具体地与地理区域相关联,该地理区域与预定的用户相关联。
例如,气象与环境数据收集点在世界上的成长区域中是非常稀疏的。在衣阿华州,只有少量的国家气象局数据收集点存在。因为不存在密集气象数据点网,因此气象数据的不足妨碍农场主作出与他们的农作物有关的重大决策。例如,当土壤温度数据,农作物含水量数据和降水概率数据得不到的时候,你怎么能知道160英亩土地将施什么肥?
传感器网络48a包括暂时性或永久性的数据收集传感器48b,该传感器可以安装在例如在系统8b的订购者或用户的土地上10英亩到40英亩的网格中。每个传感器48b可以有与其相关联的诸如五英里或二十英里半径的唯一的空间范围。与每个传感器48b相关联的空间范围可以由用户选择并被指定为传感器48b类型和目的以及传感器网络48a的密度的结果。例如,如果用户为了安排施肥而对土壤水分感兴趣,则与所选的传感器48b相关联的空间范围可以设定在例如375英尺。在另一个实例中,为了在土地上播种,用户可能对土壤温度感兴趣,以及与所选传感器48b相关联的想要的空间范围可以是例如2000英尺。系统8b的用户包括如上所述的用户概况,该用户概况用有关与用户相关联的传感器48b的信息例如安装在用户的土地上或附近的信息补充。传感器48b向气象分析单元12b传送地点专用的个性化信息,以便可以在为用户产生地点专用气象信息时更详细的信息被气象分析单元12b利用。
传感器48b可以是产生可用于预报天气,传送当前的天气状况,传送当前的环境状况,和/或预报环境状况的任何类型的传感器。例如,传感器48b可用于采样或记录诸如但不限于气温,湿度,降水,太阳辐射,风速与风向,土壤温度,土壤水分和/或土壤中的化学组分等的参数。
例如,用户可以将用户要求传感器网络48a监控的诸如,温度,湿度和/或土壤状况的信息类型输入到其用户概况中。气象分析单元12b接收来自传感器网络48a的传感器数据并基于输入用户的用户概况的信息通过用户的通信装置50b向用户传送信息。用户也可以通过更改他的用户概况选择用于在任何给定时间监控特定区域的特定传感器。
此外,系统8b可用于向气象分析单元12b传送实时路况信息以增强传输到系统8b的用户的气象信息。虽然传感器48b可以包括其自己的电源,诸如蓄电池或太阳能电池,但是传感器48b优选地位于具有其自有电源的设备上。例如,暂时的或永久的传感器48b可以放置在沿道路的各个位置上,诸如在交通工具上,道路上或道路边,广告牌上,加油站,移动电话塔或靠道路或铁路的指示牌上,在诸如UPS和/或FedEx的专递运载工具上或在街灯上。如果传感器48b位于道路上,则可以放置在混凝土或柏油中。如果传感器48b放置在道路旁,则可以放置在例如排水沟中。传感器48b可以探测例如湿度,温度或与道路,道路旁的指示牌,街灯,诸如UPS和/或FedEx的专递运载工具或轨道车辆相关联的任何其他气象或环境状况。或者,传感器48b可用于探测交通状况或与特定的道路或铁路相关联的任何其他状况。
例如,每个传感器48b可以放置在离最近的传感器100英尺处,以便形成用于确定沿道路或铁路的指定区域的状况的传感器网络48a。此外,传感器48b可以放置在各种移动电话塔上,以便与该塔相关联的特定移动电话系统的用户可利用系统8b访问各种状况。
每一个气象传感器48a还可以包括诸如GPS系统的用于确定这样的气象传感器的当前位置的系统,以便气象传感器的当前位置被传输到气象分析单元12b。
本技术领域的熟练人员将认识到系统8b的许多用途。例如,当由位于沿道路或铁路运动的车辆上的传感器48a收集传感器数据时,气象分析单元12b可以将这样的气象信息传送到位于紧靠传感器信息正被收集的地点附近的通信装置11b。因此,假设FederalExpress的卡车位于离开订购者五英里的位置,从FederalExpress卡车上的传感器收集到的信息可以被传输到该订购者。
如图5所示的是可以用于递送其他类型信息的报告系统8c。除了如下所述的方面以外,报告系统8ac在结构上和功能上与气象报告系统8a相似。为了明确性的目的,为类似的组件提供相同的数字前缀和不同的字母后缀。
报告系统8c配备广播网10c。在一个实施例中,广播网10c用于定位处于远离广播网10c的位置的至少一个已知的或未知的个体。广播网10c配备分析单元12c,通信装置位置数据库16c和至少一个通信装置11c,最好是至少两个通信装置11c和11d。通信装置11c在这里被称为"定位者(locator)通信装置",通信装置11d在这里被称为"被定位者(locatee)通信装置"。本文所用的术语"定位者"的意思是设法定位被定位者的人。本文所用的术语"被定位者"的意思是将要被定位的人。通信装置位置数据库16c被不断地更新以包含指示定位者通信装置11c和被定位者通信装置11d的空间位置的实时数据。
按与如上所述类似的方式,分析单元12c在从远程通信装置11c和11d之一输入到分析单元12c中的用户概况(包括指示独特的个人特质的信息)(用方框80c代表),存储在通信装置位置数据库16c中的动态位置,和以方框82c代表的固定位置之间进行比较。系统8c可以被进一步描述成定位者系统40c和被定位者系统42c以说明系统8c内正被输送的信息的类型。
例如,定位者利用定位者通信装置11c将他的或她的诸如个人特征(即,身高,体重,年龄,眼睛颜色,头发颜色,性别,种族,职业等),个性特性(即,支出,爱交际的饮酒者,非吸烟者等),照片,定位者的音频表现,定位者的视频表现,定位者的音频/视频表现及其他用户信息和/或标准、用方框84c代表的定位者信息和/或标准输入到他的或她的用户概况中。另外还有或两中取一,定位者将诸如个人特征,个性品质,接近程度(包括指示距定位者的固定或动态位置的距离的空间范围标识符)的被定位者想要的标准或任何其他标准输入到分析单元12c中。定位者将上述标准输入到其中一个定位者通信装置11c中,该定位者通信装置可以是例如计算机,个人数字助理(PDA),移动电话,移动电话/PDA的组合体,或可以将定位者标准传送到分析单元12c的任何其他设备。分析单元12c可以是例如计算机或网络服务器。分析单元12c将被定位者用户概况标准与定位者用户概况标准和/或定位者想要的标准进行匹配以产生匹配定位者标准的被定位者用户概况的数据组。
定位者标准根据定位者标准与被定位者用户概况的匹配传输到其中一个被定位者通信装置11d。如果需要,被定位者的许可可以在向定位者通信装置11c发送任何有关被定位者的信息之前获得。一旦被定位者的许可被接收(如果需要),数据组可以被传输到定位者通信装置11c,使定位者可以复核数据组以确定由文本消息或任何其它通信方式联系的被定位者,或者,分析单元12c可以不要定位者的任何介入自动地确定被联系的被定位者,从而将文本消息或其他通信方式传递到被定位者的通信装置11d。被定位者的通信装置11d可以是例如PDA,移动电话,移动电话/PDA的组合体,寻呼机,或者分析单元12c或定位者可以向被定位者传送信息的任何其他设备。
每个被定位者的用户概况包括诸如身高,体重,年龄,眼睛颜色,头发颜色,性别,种族,职业等的与被定位者个人特征有关的信息和/或诸如支出,爱交际的饮酒者,非吸烟者等的个性品质,或与特定被定位者有关的任何其他的品质或特性。被定位者的用户概况可以附加地包括用方框86c代表的被定位者的照片,被定位者的音频表现,被定位者的视频表现,被定位者音频/视频表现及其他用户信息和/或标准。
一旦被定位者的用户概况被下载到定位者的通信装置11c中,定位者就可以添加诸如定位者对被定位者的印象或意见的与被定位者有关的附加信息或定位者认为与被定位者有关的任何其他信息。这些附加信息对被定位者保密,然而,可以向报告系统8c的另外的用户广播。例如,可由定位者系统40c访问的用户概况可以包括用方框86c代表的与特定被定位者相关的对该被定位者保密或该被定位者不可知的特性。例如,如方框86c的表示,被定位者可以有权访问存储在其用户概况中的诸如已输入的个人特征和/或个性标准的信息,和可以在需要时被提供对其用户概况的访问以更新信息。除了上述被定位者可访问的信息之外,定位者可以有权访问被定位者用户概况以获取诸如个人特征和/或个性品质的被定位者特性。
例如,定位者可以在其用户概况中包括他是单身,白种人,男性,26岁,大学生,非吸烟者和轻度爱交际的喝酒者。定位者希望定位具有同样的个人特征和/或个性品质的白种人,单身,女性。定位者可以下载由报告系统8c的其他用户(被定位者)输入的用户概况。定位者可以向被定位者发送文本消息或其他通信方式以与被定位者建立进一步的联系。在本实施例中,本发明可以被认为是调情服务,约会服务或联姻服务。
在另一个实施例中,系统8c用于在具有类似用户概况的用户之间定位和提供娱乐。这样的用户的实例包括电影观众,游戏者或其他对娱乐业的特定部分感兴趣的人。更具体地说,系统8c可用于定位在娱乐业具有类似兴趣的个体和为这样的个体提供想要的娱乐。系统8c可用于定位与由定位者输入分析单元12c的指定空间范围相关的个体。或者,系统8c可用于定位个体/被定位者而不考虑被定位者的位置。
按照与如上所述同样的方法,定位者利用定位者通信装置11c向他或她的用户概况中输入如方框84c表示,诸如娱乐兴趣,想要和/或指定的空间范围(根据固定的或动态的位置)的他或她的定位者信息和/或标准及其他用户信息和/或标准。另外还有或者两中取一,定位者向分析单元12c中输入诸如娱乐兴趣,想要的和/或指定的空间范围的想要的被定位者的标准和任何其他用户想要的标准。分析单元12c按照与如上所述同样的方法将定位者信息与被定位者信息进行匹配以定位和匹配系统8c的具有对娱乐业的类似兴趣和/或接近由定位者指定的区域的其他用户。
例如,希望与系统8c的其他用户玩诸如捉人游戏的定位者可以通过其定位者通信装置11c按照与如上所述同样的方法将其定位者用户概况信息输入到分析单元12c中。这样的定位者用户概况信息的实例包括例如个人特征和/或个性品质,和/或用于定位被定位者的想要的空间范围。此外,定位者可以向分析单元12c中输入想要的被定位者的标准,诸如想要的个人特征和/或个性品质,想要的被定位者位置,和/或想要的用于定位被定位者的空间范围。
希望玩例如捉人游戏的定位者将与游戏类型,定位者的个性品质和/或个人特征有关的信息输入到分析单元12c中(通过定位者通信装置11c),以及在例如距其位置50英里的空间范围内指定其希望定位的被定位者。把世界用作参与所指定捉人游戏的"游戏板",分析单元12c将被定位者用户概况标准与定位者用户概况标准和/或定位者想要的标准进行匹配以产生匹配定位者标准的被定位者用户概况的数据组。
基于该被定位者的数据组,定位者可以选择被定位者/参与指定游戏的参与者并通过其定位者通信装置11C和被定位者通信装置11d向所指定的被定位者发送诸如"捉人游戏,就是你"的文本消息。或者,系统8c可以不需要定位者的任何介入自动地确定被联系的被定位者,从而将文本消息或其他通信方式传送到被定位者的通信装置11d。
除了定位和匹配具有对娱乐业的类似兴趣的用户之外,系统8c可由用户/游戏者用于玩或参与诸如视频游戏等的游戏和/或与其他用户/游戏者互动而玩想要的或指定的游戏。按照与如上所述同样的方法,根据包含在特定游戏(包括指示与用户的固定或动态位置的距离的空间范围标识符)中每个用户的位置(静态的或动态的),系统8c允许用户与包含在游戏中的另一个个体/用户互动。
此外,定位者可以利用系统8c检索(通过其定位者通信装置11c)特定的娱乐地点(即电影院,娱乐场等)或特定的事件(即特定的影片,特定的游戏事件等)。系统8c也可以用于根据其用户概况向娱乐事件的用户发出警告。
在另一个实施例中,系统8c用于通过或不通过空间范围标识符的辅助根据个体的实时位置追踪某个个体("被定位者")。更具体地说,系统8c可用于定位在特定空间范围内移动的个体,并且当特定个体移动到指定空间范围以外时通知用户。此外,系统8c可用于不考虑个体的位置或相对于所指定空间范围的位置定位个体。
分析单元12c装载被定位者用户概况。此外,分析单元12c可以装载被定位者打算或被指令移动的想要的空间范围或路径,即被定位者打算的移动范围和/或被定位者目的地。分析单元12c追踪被定位者通信装置11d的位置并可以在被定位者通信装置11d移动到被定位者打算的移动范围和/或被定位者打算的目的地以外时向定位者通信装置11c发出警告。此外,分析单元12c可以在被定位者通信装置11d移动到地理参照坐标为"好区域"或"坏区域"时向定位者通信装置11c发出警告。系统8c可以要求被定位者同意在需要时通过被定位者通信装置11d追踪被定位者。
例如,父母可以要求通过系统8c追踪其孩子的移动。父母可以将孩子打算的目的地(有或没有想要的空间范围)输入到定位者通信装置11c中(将孩子打算的目的地输入到分析单元12c中),以便分析单元12c可以通过被定位者通信装置11d追踪孩子的移动,以及此外如果有指定的想要的空间范围并且孩子走到该想要的空间范围以外则可以通过父母的定位者通信装置11c向父母发出警告。还有,如果孩子移动到地理参照坐标为"好区域"(即学校等)或"坏区域"(即酒吧等),则分析单元12c可以通过父母的定位者通信装置11c向父母发出警告。
此外,用户可以按照与如上所述同样的方法通过追踪朋友的被定位者通信装置11d在诸如购物商场,足球场等位置中保持对朋友("被定位者")位置的追踪。在本实施例中,想要的空间范围可以或可以不被指定。此外,系统8c可以要求被定位者同意在需要时通过被定位者通信装置11d追踪被定位者。
系统8,8a,8b和8c的一个可选方面是"运行搜索"性能。本文所用的术语"运行搜索"的意思是指与物体的时间追踪相关联的物体的地理坐标参照。本文所用的术语"地理坐标参照"的意思是指对物体相关于X1,Y1坐标(预期位置或预期路径)和/或X1,Y1,Z1坐标(预期位置或预期路径)的位置O1的确定。本文所用的术语"时间追踪"的意思是指与个体和/或物体的预示和/或预期到达时间(Te)相关联的个体和/或物体的初始出发时间(Td)。运行搜索可应用于本文描述的本发明的每一个和所有的实施例。
运行搜索可以用于诸如移动商业服务(即车队管理,财产位置,以及现场销售和服务),娱乐服务(即游戏服务,个人定位服务,以及调情及其他"交际"服务),安全服务(即孩子定位服务,以及汽车路边援助),信息服务(即兴趣点标识,GPS导航支持,气象信息和数据,以及交通信息和数据),或需要利用或应用运行搜索的任何其他领域。
举例来说,一个带着其被定位者通信装置11d的小孩在上午8:00(Td)离开他的家(X1,Y1)并预期在上午8:30(Te)到达学校(X2,Y2)。小孩的父母可以通过例如将(1)标识小孩的被定位者通信装置11c的唯一标识码,(2)小孩打算的目的地(即学校)(有或没有想要的空间范围),(3)小孩的出发时间(Td)和(4)小孩的预计到达时间(Te)输入其定位者通信装置11c中而经由该定位者通信装置11c保持对小孩位置(O1)的追踪。然后定位者通信装置11c将(1)标识小孩的被定位者通信装置11c的唯一标志代码,(2)小孩打算的目的地(即学校)(有或没有想要的空间范围),(3)小孩的出发时间Td)和(4)小孩的预计到达时间(Te)输入到分析单元12c中,以使分析单元12c可以通过被定位者通信装置11d追踪小孩的移动,以及此外如果有指定的想要的空间范围并且孩子走到该想要的空间范围以外则可以通过父母的定位者通信装置11c向父母发出警告,和/或如果直到所输入的预计到达时间(Te)小孩还未到达学校则可以向父母发出警告,和/或可以关于小孩到达其打算的目的地的实际到达时间(Ta)和/或小孩的位置偏离如果有的所指定的预期位置和/或预期路径向父母发出警告。还有,如上所述,如果孩子移动到地理参照坐标为"好区域"(即学校等)或"坏区域"(即"酒吧"等),则分析单元12c可以通过父母的定位者通信装置11c向父母发出警告。
作为另一个实例,雇主使用雇主通信装置11a将雇员打算的目的地(即递送目的地)(有或没有想要的空间范围),雇员的出发时间(Td)和雇员的预计到达时间(Te)输入到雇主通信装置11a中(将雇员打算的目的地输入到分析单元12a中),以便分析单元12a可以通过雇员通信装置11b追踪雇员的移动,以及此外如果雇员走到如果有的所指定的想要的空间范围以外则可以通过雇主的雇主通信装置11a向雇主发出警告,和/或如果雇员直到所输入的预计到达时间(Te)还未到达递送目的地则可以向雇主发出警告,和/或可以关于雇员到达其打算的目的地的实际到达时间(Ta)和/或雇员的位置偏离如果有的所指定的预期路径向雇主发出警告。还有,如上所述,如果雇员移动到地理参照坐标的"好区域"或"坏区域"则分析单元12a可以通过雇主通信装置11a向雇主发出警告。
美国专利第6,505,123号,美国专利第6,754,585号,美国专利第6,836,730号和2004年1月14日申请的美国专利申请序列号第11/035,654号的全部内容通过引用而确切地结合在本文中。
通过上文的说明,很明显,本发明很适合于实现本文所述的目的和获得本文所述的以及本发明固有的优点。虽然本发明的所述优选实施例已经为其被公开的目的进行了描述,但容易理解的是,本领域的熟练技术人员将很容易在所公开的本发明的精神和范围内作出各种变化。
