Abstract
A calling system for a personal watercraft includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: obtain a specific state signal indicating that the personal watercraft is in a given specific state; and wirelessly transmit a calling signal based on the specific state signal.
Claims19
A calling system mounted on a first personal watercraft, comprising:
- a display that displays a map screen;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly receive a calling signal from a second personal watercraft being in a trouble state or an abnormal state, the calling signal containing location information indicating a location of the second personal watercraft;
- and
- cause the map screen to display a mark indicating the location of the second personal watercraft based on the calling signal,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the map screen to display an arrow indicating a direction of the location of the second personal watercraft with respect to a location of the first personal watercraft when the second personal watercraft is outside a display range of the map screen.

A calling system mounted on a first personal watercraft, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly receive a calling signal from a second personal watercraft being in a trouble state or an abnormal state, the calling signal including information that helps to head for the second personal watercraft;
- and
- cause the display to display a mark indicating a location of the second personal watercraft based on the calling signal,
- cause the display to display information indicating content information contained by the calling signal,
- wherein the content information indicates a content of a state of the second personal watercraft, and the content is one selected from multiple types of states.

- wherein the second personal watercraft further comprising a user input interface,
- wherein the second processing circuitry is further configured to:
- receive a callback command from the user input interface after receiving the calling signal;
- and
- wirelessly transmit a callback signal to the first personal watercraft in response to the callback command, and
- wherein the first processing circuitry is further configured to:
- receive the callback signal;
- and
- inform a driver of the first personal watercraft of callback information in response to the callback signal.
