WEATHER INFORMATION INTERFACE SYSTEM WEATHER INFORMATION INTERFACE SYSTEM

摘要

A real time weather information interface system having central switching and interface unit accessed at least in part via a commercial telephone network. A remote weather station is selected by the incoming caller by means of a "decision tree" process using a touch tone phone, and the central switching and interface unit makes contact with a local interface unit at the selected geographically remote weather reporting station. Weather information being produced and broadcast locally by the weather reporting station is then provided to the geographically remote incoming caller on a real time basis via the local interface unit, being in communication with said central switching and interface unit, and thence to individual callers desiring said real time weather information.
