Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to receive data recorded by a wearable device during a fishing trip. The computer may receive location data that corresponds to the fishing trip. The computer may use the data recorded by the wearable device to determine a time period for a fishing activity during the fishing trip. The computer may use the location data to determine locations corresponding to the time period.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
receive data recorded during a fishing trip, wherein the fishing trip is by one or more fisherman using a vessel on a body of water, wherein the data comprises at least fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by at least a wearable device or the fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by at least the wearable device in combination with at least one of location data, speed and engine data, or sonar data, wherein the wearable device is worn by a user and comprises one or more integrated sensors, and wherein the data sensed and recorded by the wearable device comprises a record of at least one of catches, casts, or bites;
determine, based on the received data, at least three different types of fishing activity and a corresponding time period for each determined type of fishing activity during the fishing trip, wherein the types of fishing activity include at least three of running, finding fish, trolling, or fishing, wherein at least one of the determined three types of fishing activity is fishing, wherein determining a time period for fishing comprises using at least the fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by the wearable device,
wherein a time period for running corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the vessel is traveling to or from a location on the body of water,
wherein a time period for finding fish corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is attempting to locate fish,
wherein the time period for fishing corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is attempting to catch fish,
wherein a time period for trolling corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is traveling at a consistent, predetermined low speed;
determine, based on the received data, one or more portions of a route of the fishing trip that correspond to each of the determined at least three types of fishing activity such that the corresponding type of fishing activity was performed at one or more locations corresponding to the one or more portions of the route; and
cause a screen of a marine electronic device to display the one or more portions of the route that correspond to each of the determined at least three types of fishing activity in relation to the route of the fishing trip such that the one or more portions of the route are distinct from at least any remaining portions of the route.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein both the data sensed and recorded by the wearable device and the location data are time series data.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a start period and end period of a time period corresponding to a type of fishing activity is indicated by a gesture from the user.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the gesture from the user is detected automatically by the wearable device.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computer to:
cause the screen of the marine electronic device to display the determined at least three different types of fishing activity on a chart or graph along with a time ratio of a total time for the type of fishing activity to a total time of the fishing trip.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computer to:
cause display of one or more portions of the route corresponding to the fishing activity of running using a first color or pattern;
cause display of one or more portions of the route corresponding to the fishing activity of finding fish using a second color or pattern;
cause display of one or more portions of the route corresponding to the fishing activity of trolling using a third color or pattern; and
cause display of one or more portions of the route corresponding to the fishing activity of fishing using a fourth color or pattern.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computer to:
determine one or more time periods for the fishing activity of running using at least one of location data or speed and engine data;
determine one or more time periods for the fishing activity of finding fish by using at least one of speed and engine data or sonar data;
determine one or more time periods for the fishing activity of fishing by using at least one of speed and engine data, sonar data, location data, or fishing log data; and
determine one or more time periods for the fishing activity of trolling by using at least one of speed and engine data or data received from a user interface.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computer to determine one or more time periods during the fishing trip for each of the fishing activity of running, the fishing activity of finding fish, and the fishing activity of fishing.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
receive data recorded during a fishing trip, wherein the fishing trip is by one or more fisherman using a vessel on a body of water, wherein the data comprises at least fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by at least a wearable device or the fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by at least the wearable device in combination with at least one of location data, speed and engine data, or sonar data, wherein the wearable device is worn by a user and comprises one or more integrated sensors, and wherein the data sensed and recorded by the wearable device comprises a record of at least one of catches, casts, or bites;
determine, based on the received data, at least three different types of fishing activity and a corresponding time period for each determined type of fishing activity during the fishing trip, wherein the types of fishing activity include at least three of running, finding fish, trolling, or fishing, wherein at least one of the determined three types of fishing activity is fishing, wherein determining a time period for fishing comprises using at least the fishing log data that is sensed and recorded by the wearable device;
wherein a time period for running corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the vessel is traveling to or from a location on the body of water,
wherein a time period for finding fish corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is attempting to locate fish,
wherein the time period for fishing corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is attempting to catch fish,
wherein a time period for trolling corresponds to a time period during the fishing trip where the one or more fisherman is traveling at a consistent, predetermined low speed; and
cause a screen of a marine electronic device to display the determined at least three different types of fishing activity on a chart or graph along with a time ratio of a total time for the type of fishing activity to a total time of the fishing trip.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the sonar data comprises data received by a transducer.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the
