Abstract
A nautical drift managing device is provided. 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 navigation device, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a destination position for a watercraft;
- receive external force information in relation to the watercraft;
- and
- determine, based on the destination position and the external force information, a drift line in relation to a movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position in case an engine of the watercraft is stopped or in neutral.
A nautical navigation method, comprising:
- receiving a destination position for a watercraft;
- receiving external force information in relation to the watercraft;
- and
- determining, based on the destination position and the external force information, a drift line in relation to a movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position in case an engine of the watercraft is stopped or neutral.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, in case executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform a method that comprises:
- receiving a destination position for a watercraft;
- receiving external force information in relation to the watercraft;
- and
- determining, based on the destination position and the external force information, a drift line in relation to a movement of the watercraft to reach the destination position from a specific position in case an engine of the watercraft is stopped or in neutral.
