Abstract
A networked wireless model rocket launching and tracking system. Rocket launches, users, and other activity can be remotely monitored and tracked, and stored in a remote database. Safety checking and advanced functionality to be performed wirelessly using remote servers to retrieve location information.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing computer readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- register users in a database;
- track user's purchases of model rockets and engine types;
- track user's launches and respective launched engine types;
- determine whether user's inventory of engine types falls below a threshold;
- and
- upon the user's inventory of engine types falling below a threshold, automatically suggest purchase of the respective engine types.
