Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ship reverse-run detection system includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: detect a direction of change in a position of a ship based on position information of the ship which is detected by a position detection device which is mounted on the ship, specify a traveling direction associated with a navigation region of the ship which is specified based on the position information, by referring to a storage which stores the navigation region and the traveling direction in association with each other, and detect reverse run of the ship in the navigation region based on the magnitude of an angle between the direction of the change and the traveling direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A ship reverse-run detection system comprising: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: detect a direction of change in a position of a ship based on position information of the ship which is detected by a position detection device which is mounted on the ship; specify a traveling direction associated with a navigation region of the ship which is specified based on the position information, by referring to a storage which stores the navigation region and the traveling direction in association with each other; and detect reverse run of the ship in the navigation region based on the magnitude of an angle between the direction of the change and the traveling direction. 2 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor transmits, when a reverse run of the ship is detected, information indicating an occurrence of the reverse run and information of an identification of the ship regarding the reverse run to a specific destination. 3 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor detects a reverse run of the ship in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is within a specific range and a continuous migration length of the ship is a specific length or more. 4 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 3 , wherein the specific length is 30 meters or more. 5 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor detects a reverse run of the ship in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is equal to or larger than a specific angle exceeding 90°. 6 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor detects a reverse run of the ship in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle exceeds 160° or 165°. 7 . A ship reverse-run detection method comprising: detecting, by a computer, a direction of change in a position of a ship based on position information of the ship which is detected by a position detection device which is mounted on the ship; specifying a traveling direction associated with a navigation region of the ship which is specified based on the position information, by referring to a storage which stores the navigation region and the traveling direction in association with each other; and detecting reverse run of the ship in the navigation region based on the magnitude of an angle between the direction of the change and the traveling direction. 8 . The ship reverse-run detection method according to claim 7 , further comprising: transmitting, when a reverse run of the ship is detected, information indicating an occurrence of the reverse run and information of an identification of the ship regarding the reverse run to a specific destination. 9 . The ship reverse-run detection method according to claim 7 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is within a specific range and a continuous migration length of the ship is a specific length or more. 10 . The ship reverse-run detection method according to claim 9 , wherein the specific length is 30 meters or more. 11 . The ship reverse-run detection method according to claim 7 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is equal to or larger than a specific angle exceeding 90°. 12 . The ship reverse-run detection system according to claim 7 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle exceeds 160° or 165°. 13 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a ship reverse-run detection program which causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising: detecting a direction of change in a position of a ship based on position information of the ship which is detected by a position detection device which is mounted on the ship; specifying a traveling direction associated with a navigation region of the ship which is specified based on the position information, by referring to a storage which stores the navigation region and the traveling direction in association with each other; and detecting reverse run of the ship in the navigation region based on the magnitude of an angle between the direction of the change and the traveling direction. 14 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , further comprising: transmitting, when a reverse run of the ship is detected, information indicating an occurrence of the reverse run and information of an identification of the ship regarding the reverse run to a specific destination. 15 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is within a specific range and a continuous migration length of the ship is a specific length or more. 16 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 15 , wherein the specific length is 30 meters or more. 17 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle is equal to or larger than a specific angle exceeding 90°. 18 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein a reverse run of the ship is detected in the navigation region when the magnitude of the angle exceeds 160° or 165°.
