Abstract
A watercraft includes an information acquirer and a controller. The controller starts data transmission when a communication start condition based on at least one of a reception strength of a radio wave received by a communication terminal from a base station, a rotation speed of an engine, a traveling speed of a hull, and a state of a shift device is satisfied, and does not start the data transmission when the communication start condition is not satisfied.
Claims20
A watercraft comprising:
- an information acquirer that acquires watercraft information about traveling of the watercraft or a plurality of devices on the watercraft;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to perform data transmission to transmit the watercraft information acquired by the information acquirer to a remote server via a communication terminal that performs mobile communication with a base station;
- wherein
- the controller is configured or programmed to start the data transmission when a communication start condition based on a reception strength of a radio wave received by the communication terminal from the base station and at least one of a rotation speed of an engine defining one of the plurality of devices, a traveling speed of a hull defining one of the plurality of devices, and a state of a shift device defining one of the plurality of devices is satisfied, and to not start the data transmission when the communication start condition is not satisfied.
