Abstract

An alert control system includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: receive a first input of an anchorage instruction or a second input indicating an anchorage state, and perform, in accordance with the first input or the second input, control to reduce a number of kinds of triggers which output an alert.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An alert control system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein
the processor is configured to:
determine whether a mode of a ship is a navigation mode indicating that the ship is in a navigation state or a mooring mode indicating that the ship is in a mooring state;
output, when determining that the mode of the ship is the navigation mode, an alert based on a first kind of alert triggers including a first alert trigger which is specific to the navigation mode and causes dangerous object determination and a second alert trigger which causes other-ship approach determination; and
output, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, an alert based on a second kind of the alert triggers including a third alert trigger which is specific to the mooring mode and the second alert trigger and causes to anchor dragging determination.

2. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor excludes, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by an approach to a shoal based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

3. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor excludes, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a reef based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

4. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor excludes, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a fishing net based on a the first kind of the alert triggers.

5. An alert control method comprising:
determining whether a mode of a ship is a navigation mode indicating that the ship is in a navigation state or a mooring mode indicating that the ship is in a mooring state;
outputting, when determining that the mode of the ship is the navigation mode, an alert based on a first kind of alert triggers including a first alert trigger which is specific to the navigation mode and causes dangerous object determination and a second alert trigger which causes other-ship approach determination; and
outputting, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, an alert based on a second kind of the alert triggers including a third alert trigger which is specific to the mooring mode and causes to anchor dragging determination and the second alert trigger.

6. The alert control method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by an approach to a shoal based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

7. The alert control method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a reef based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

8. The alert control method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a fishing net based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an alert control program which causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
determining whether a mode of a ship is a navigation mode indicating that the ship is in a navigation state or a mooring mode indicating that the ship is in a mooring state;
outputting, when determining that the mode of the ship is the navigation mode, an alert based on a first kind of alert triggers including a first alert trigger which is specific to the navigation mode and causes dangerous object determination and a second alert trigger which causes other-ship approach determination; and
outputting, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, an alert based on a second kind of the alert triggers including a third alert trigger which is specific to the mooring mode and causes to anchor dragging determination and the second alert trigger.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by an approach to a shoal based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a reef based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , further comprising:
excluding, when determining that the mode of the ship is the mooring mode, as an alert to be output, an alert which is triggered by approach to a fishing net based on the first kind of the alert triggers.

13. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the alert based on the first alert trigger is output when the dangerous object determination determines that a position of an object is included in a first range which is obtained by rotating, in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, a segment which extends from a position of the ship up to a predetermined distance in a traveling direction of the ship.

14. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the alert based on the second alert trigger is output when the other-ship approach determination determines that a position of another ship is included in a second range of a first radius from a position of the ship.

15. The alert control system according to claim 1 , wherein the alert based on the third alert trigger is output when the anchor dragging determination determines that a position of the ship deviates from a third range of a second radius based on a water depth and a length of an anchor rope from a position of the ship.

16. The alert control method according to claim 5 , wherein the alert based on the first alert trigger is output when the dangerous object determination determines that a position of an object is included in a first range which is obtained by rotating, in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, a segment which extends from a position of the ship up to a predetermined distance in a traveling direction of the ship.

17. The alert control method according to claim 5 , wherein the alert based on the second alert trigger is output when the other-ship approach determination determines that a position of another ship is included in a second range of a first radius from a position of the ship.

18. The alert control method according to claim 5 , wherein the alert based on the third alert trigger is output when the anchor dragging determination determines that a position of the ship deviates from a third range of a second radius based on a water depth and a length of an anchor rope from a position of the ship.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the alert based on the first alert trigger is output when the dangerous object determination determines that a position of an object is included in a first range which is obtained by rotating, in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, a segment which
