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 automatically receiving fishing data recorded during a fishing trip. The computer may receive a selection of a first group of subscribers that can access the fishing data. The computer may grant permissions to the first group of subscribers to access the fishing data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
automatically receive, via wireless transmission from a wearable electronic device comprising a motion sensor, fishing data corresponding to one or more fishing statistics recorded during a fishing trip in a marine vessel on a body of water, wherein the one or more fishing statistics comprise at least one of cast information, bite information, or catch information, and wherein the fishing data is detected by the motion sensor of the wearable electronic device, wherein the wearable electronic device and the motion sensor are not directly connected to a fishing line;
determine one or more locations traveled by the marine vessel associated with the fishing data such that each of the one or more fishing statistics is associated with at least one location;
receive a selection of a first group of subscribers that can access the fishing data, wherein each subscriber in the first group of subscribers is identified in the selection by a username;
grant permissions to the first group of subscribers to access the fishing data; and
transmit the fishing data to at least one of the subscribers in the first group of subscribers based on the permissions.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to:
select a set of fishing data from the received fishing data; and
display the selected set of fishing data as an activity column, a dashboard, or a leaderboard.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fishing data is automatically recorded in memory by the wearable electronic device or a marine electronics device.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fishing data is received during a fishing trip.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fishing data comprises a number of casts, number of bites, a number of catches, the weight of a caught fish, the length of a caught fish, a type of cast, or combinations thereof.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fishing data comprises water temperature, location data, sonar data, overhead conditions, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric temperature, current data, or combinations thereof.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fishing data comprises atmospheric temperature, tidal data, weather, moon phase, sunrise, sunset, water levels, historic fishing data, or combinations thereof.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to:
receive a selection of a second group of subscribers with whom statistics describing the fishing data can be shared; and
grant permissions to the second group of subscribers to access the statistics describing the fishing data.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the statistics comprise an average or total number of casts, an average or total number of catches, an average or total number of bites, an average or total weight of caught fish, an average or total length of caught fish, or combinations thereof.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that cause the computer to grant permissions to the first group of subscribers to access the fishing data comprises instructions that cause the computer to allow the first group of subscribers to access the received fishing data in a database.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
receive data corresponding to a subscriber;
receive fishing data from multiple fishermen, wherein the fishing data corresponds to one or more fishing statistics wirelessly received from a one or more wearable electronic devices and is automatically recorded during one or more fishing trips in one or more marine vessels, wherein the one or more fishing statistics comprise at least one of cast information, bite information, or catch information for each fisherman, wherein each of the casts is detected by a motion sensor of a wearable electronic device, wherein the wearable electronic device and the motion sensor are not directly connected to a fishing line;
receive location information corresponding to one or more locations traveled by the one or more marine vessels associated with the fishing data, wherein each of the one or more fishing statistics is associated with at least one location;
receive a selection of at least a portion of the fishing data; and
transmit the at least the portion of the fishing data to display the at least the portion of the fishing data.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions that cause the computer to receive the fishing data from multiple fisherman comprises instructions that cause the computer to access fishing data stored in a database.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the fishing data is automatically recorded in memory by the one or more wearable electronic devices, one or more marine electronics devices, one or more smartphones, or combinations thereof.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least the portion of the fishing data comprises an average or total number of casts, an average or total number of catches, an average or total number of bites, an average or total weight of caught fish, an average or total length of caught fish, or combinations thereof.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions that cause the computer to select at least the portion of the fishing data comprises instructions that cause the computer to select the portion of the fishing data based on a requested time period.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions that cause the computer to select at least a portion of the fishing data comprises instructions that cause the computer to select the portion of the fishing data based on the preferences of the subscriber.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions that cause the computer to display the at least a portion of the fishing data comprises instructions that cause the computer to display the at least the portion of the fishing data chronologically.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the data corresponding to the subscriber is a username or login.

19. A method for storing fishing data, comprising:
detecting, by a motion sensor of a wearable electronic device, fishing data corresponding to one or more fishing statistics recorded during a fishing trip in a marine vessel on a body of water, wherein the one or more fishing statistics comprise at least one of cast information, bite information, or catch information, wherein the wearable electronic device and the motion sensor are not directly connected to a fishing line;
determining one or more locations traveled by the marine vessel associated with the fishing data such that each or the one or more fishing statistics is associated with at least one location;
recording the fishing data on the wearable electronic device;
wirelessly transmitting the fishing data by the wearable electronic device;
receiving, v
