Methods and systems for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel
First Claim
1. A system for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel, the system comprising:
- an anchorage database configured to store anchorage locations;
a first computing device configured to capture location data of the marine vessel along a route of the marine vessel; and
a second computing device comprising;
a memory area;
a location component that determines location data of the marine vessel; and
a processor programmed to;
receive, from the first computing device, the location data of the marine vessel, wherein the location data identifies that the marine vessel has maintained a location between a first location and a second location over a predefined period of time and does not identify the anchoring location of the marine vessel;
determine, from the location data, that a distance between the first location and the second location is less than a maximum threshold distance;
based on the determination that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time, determine that the marine vessel is anchored; and
based on the determination that the marine vessel is anchored, identify an area between the first location and the second location as the anchoring location, wherein the anchoring location is a location not identified as one of one or more anchoring locations within the anchoring database or by the second computing device prior to determining that the marine vessel is anchored.

Abstract
A system for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. The system includes a first computing device configured to capture location data of the marine vessel along a route of the marine vessel, and a second computing device. The second computing device including a memory area, a location component that determines location data of a marine vessel, and a processor. The processor is programmed to receive, from the first computing device, the location data of the marine vessel, determine, from the location data, a location along a route of the marine vessel that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than a maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time, and identify the location along the route of the marine vessel that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the anchoring threshold distance over the predefined period of time as an anchoring location.

10. A computing device for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel;
- the computing device comprising;
an anchorage database configured to store anchorage locations; a memory area; a location component that determines location data of the marine vessel; and a processor programmed to; receive the location data of the marine vessel, wherein the location data identifies that the marine vessel has maintained a location between a first location and a second location over a predefined period of time and does not identify the anchoring location of the marine vessel; determine, from the location data, that a distance between the first location and the second location is less than a maximum threshold distance; based on the determination that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time, determine that the marine vessel is anchored; and based on the determination that the marine vessel is anchored, identify an area between the first location and the second location as the anchoring location, wherein the anchoring location is a location not identified as one of one or more anchoring locations within the anchoring database prior to determining that the marine vessel is anchored. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel, the method comprising:
-
receiving location data associated with the marine vessel, wherein the location data identifies that the marine vessel has maintained a location between a first location and a second location over a predefined period of time and does not identify the anchoring location of the marine vessel; determining, by a processor, from the location data, that a distance between the first location and the second location is less than a maximum threshold distance; based on the determination that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time, determining that the marine vessel is anchored; and based on the determination that the marine vessel is anchored, identifying an area between the first location and the second location as the anchoring location, wherein the anchoring location is a location not identified as one of one or more anchoring locations within an anchoring database coupled to the processor prior to determining that the marine vessel is anchored. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
