ABSTRACT:
A real time weather information access and distribution system having a 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. The central interface unit includes means for allowing a plurality of incoming callers to be simultaneously provided with the same local weather information from the same desired locality, without said incoming callers being able to interact with other callers or affect operation of said central interface unit. At least one of the local interface units includes a bridge tap coupled to the NOAA weather radio console.
