Fishing site selection system, fishing site selection method, and server for selecting fishing site

A fishing site information providing method comprising:

• causing a communication device to transmit to a server a fishing-related watercraft operating function executed in a watercraft and execution information including a site of execution of the fishing-related watercraft operating function;
• causing the server to estimate a recommended fishing site or sea route based on the fishing-related watercraft operating function and the execution information;
• causing the server to transmit to the communication device the recommended fishing site or sea route estimated by the server;
• and
• causing a display to display the recommended fishing site or sea route estimated by the server;
• wherein
• the fishing-related watercraft operating function includes a position maintaining function and a predetermined navigation function;
• the position maintaining function maintains the watercraft in a predetermined position, and the predetermined navigation function navigates the watercraft in a predetermined sea route pattern;
• and
• the server estimates (1) a sea area as the recommended fishing site when the position maintaining function has been executed a number of times greater or equal to a first predetermined value and within a range of a first predetermined distance after execution of the predetermined navigation function, or (2) a sea route to the sea area as the recommended sea route when the predetermined navigation function has been executed a number of times greater or equal to a second predetermined value and within a range of a second predetermined distance.

A server comprising:

• a reception section to receive a fishing-related watercraft operating function executed in a watercraft and execution information including a site of execution of the fishing-related watercraft operating function;
• an estimation section to estimate a recommended fishing site or sea route based on the fishing-related watercraft operating function and the execution information;
• and
• a transmission section to transmit the recommended fishing site or sea route estimated by the estimation section to a communication device of the watercraft;
• wherein
• the fishing-related watercraft operating function includes a position maintaining function and a predetermined navigation function;
• the position maintaining function maintains the watercraft in a predetermined position, and the predetermined navigation function navigates the watercraft in a predetermined sea route pattern;
• and
• the estimation section estimates (1) a sea area as the recommended fishing site when the position maintaining function has been executed a number of times greater or equal to a first predetermined value and within a range of a first predetermined distance after execution of the predetermined navigation function, or a sea route to the sea area as the recommended sea route when the predetermined navigation function has been executed a number of times greater or equal to a second predetermined value and within a range of a second predetermined distance.
