Surf Conditions
A seaside community audiotex application gives the ocean tides that day,
as well as temperature and conditions for swimming and surfing.
Ski Reports
A computer Telephony system provides information on skiing conditions,
weather, and travel accommodations. The system is programmed to accept
status reports from numerous ski resorts. Callers are prompted to enter
the resort and slope they are interested in so they can hear a report
on current conditions.
Golf Tee Time Scheduling
Process systems can provide flexible scheduling for golfers and help to
match up players in search of partners. Club members call the system and
enter the day, time, and number of persons in their party. A party with
an odd number of players is asked to respond if they would like to add
another player. Single players are matched to this party when they call
in. A similar service could be developed for tennis players.
Sports Scores
Callers interested in finding out the latest sports scores call a Computer
Telephony system and select from a menu of current events. Scores are
updated several times an hour. Results of events that have a global following,
such as the Olympics or World Cup Soccer, could be provided in multiple
languages.
