Abstract
Systems, methods and one or more computer readable storage media are configured to facilitate entry by a user into a first electronic device of information associated with an animal harvest, where the information includes at least one of an animal species, a geographic location indicating where the animal harvest occurred, and a date of the animal harvest. Harvest data is uploaded from the first electronic device to a second electronic device, where the harvest data includes the information entered by the user.
Claims14
One or more computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- facilitate entry by a user into a first electronic device information associated with an animal harvest, wherein the information comprises an animal species selected from a list of animal species provided within a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed by the first electronic device, wherein the selected animal species is associated with an animal code;
- upload harvest data from the first electronic device operated by the user to a second electronic device operated by an entity other than the user, wherein the harvest data includes the information entered by the user and the second electronic device collects harvest data from the user and from other electronic devices operated by other users, the harvest data further including a geographic reference code (GRC) associated with a geographic location indicating where the animal harvest occurred and the animal code for the harvested animal;
- and
- associate the uploaded harvest data with a hunting or fishing license of the user of the first electronic device, wherein the associating the uploaded harvest data with the hunting or fishing license of the user of the first electronic device includes associating the uploaded harvest data with a number of harvested animals by the user and further comparing the number of harvested animals by the user with a maximum number of animals allowed to be harvested by the user based upon a number of animals the user has registered to harvest via the user's license.
A computer-implemented method for recording an animal harvest, the method comprising:
- receiving information into a first electronic device information by a user, the information being associated with an animal harvest, wherein the information comprises an animal species selectable from a list of animal species provided within a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed by the first electronic device, wherein the selected animal species is associated with an animal code;
- uploading harvest data from the first electronic device operated by the user to a second electronic device operated by an entity other than the user, wherein the harvest data includes the information entered by the user and the second electronic device collects harvest data from the user and from other electronic devices operated by other users, the harvest data further including a geographic reference code (GRC) associated with a geographic location indicating where the animal harvest occurred and the animal code for the harvested animal;
- and
- associating the uploaded harvest data with a hunting or fishing license of the user of the first electronic device, wherein the associating the uploaded harvest data with the hunting or fishing license of the user of the first electronic device includes associating the uploaded harvest data with a number of harvested animals by the user and further comparing the number of harvested animals by the user with a maximum number of animals allowed to be harvested by the user based upon a number of animals the user has registered to harvest via the user's license.
