Abstract
The navigation device is provided with processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a recommended route connecting two or more waypoints on a chart. Further, the processing circuitry receives a start point and an end point to generate an optimal route for a ship. Furthermore, the processing circuitry determines a cost associated with a plurality of routes and a cost associated with the recommended route. Finally, the processing circuitry generates the optimal route between the start point and the end point based on the cost of the plurality of routes and the cost of recommended route.
Claims20
A navigation device to be mounted on a ship, the navigation device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- acquire a recommended route connecting two or more waypoints on a chart;
- receive a start point and an end point to generate an optimal route for the ship;
- determine a cost associated with a plurality of routes and a cost associated with the recommended route, wherein the cost associated with the recommended route is relatively less than the cost associated with other routes from the plurality of routes;
- and
- generate the optimal route between the start point and the end point based on the cost associated with the plurality of routes and the cost associated with the recommended route.
A navigation method comprising:
- acquiring a recommended route connecting two or more waypoints on a chart;
- receiving a start point and an end point to generate an optimal route for a ship;
- determining a cost associated with a plurality of routes and a cost associated with the recommended route, wherein the cost associated with the recommended route is relatively less than the cost associated with other routes from the plurality of routes;
- and
- generating the optimal route between the start point and the end point based on the cost associated with the plurality of routes and the cost associated with the recommended route.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- acquire a recommended route connecting two or more waypoints on a chart;
- receive a start point and an end point to generate an optimal route for a ship;
- determine a cost associated with a plurality of routes and a cost associated with the recommended route, wherein the cost associated with the recommended route is relatively less than the cost associated with other routes from the plurality of routes;
- and
- generate the optimal route between the start point and the end point based on the cost associated with the plurality of routes and the cost associated with the recommended route.
