Abstract
Provided is a nautical drift managing device. The nautical drift managing device includes an input circuitry to receive destination position information for a watercraft. Further, the nautical drift managing device includes a sensor circuitry to obtain external force information associated with the watercraft. Furthermore, the nautical drift managing device includes processing circuitry to determine, based on the destination position information and the external force information, a drift line associated with a drifting movement of the watercraft when an engine of the watercraft is stopped or neutral.
Claims20
A nautical drift managing device, comprising:
- an input device configured to:
- receive destination position information for a watercraft, wherein the destination position information is associated with a destination position;
- and
- receive drift time information associated with the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position;
- sensor circuitry configured to obtain external force information associated with the watercraft;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to determine, based on the destination position information, the received drift time information, and the external force information, a drift line associated with a drifting movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from the specific position when an engine of the watercraft is stopped or in neutral.
A nautical drift managing method, comprising:
- receiving destination position information for a watercraft, wherein the destination position information is associated with a destination position;
- receiving drift time information associated with the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position;
- obtaining external force information associated with the watercraft;
- and
- determining, based on the destination position information, the received drift time information, and the external force information, a drift line associated with a drifting movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from the specific position when an engine of the watercraft is stopped or neutral.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform a method that comprises:
- receiving destination position information for a watercraft, wherein the destination position information is associated with a destination position;
- receiving drift time information associated with the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position;
- obtaining external force information associated with the watercraft;
- and
- determining, based on the destination position information, the received drift time information, and the external force information, a drift line associated with a drifting movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from the specific position when an engine of the watercraft is stopped or in neutral.
