Abstract

The present invention is a method and system of determining and collecting data such as, location, weather, temperature, and time to users of a mobile devices. Mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, internet computers, and other hand held mobile devices may be ideal for tracking historical data based upon a user'"'"'s activities and previous locations. The affiliations are determined based upon travel of wearable devices as tracked by Internet services and activation of the system by the user. In one example, the user may tap the wearable device causing a software system to analyze data associated to locations and conditions visited by the user. Furthermore, the system may even be enhanced by use of features tailored to train the user on improving how they perform various hobbies such as fishing.

Claims

1. A system for collecting data regarding a user'"'"'s activity comprising:

a wearable device having a processor and capable of transmitting and receiving data communications;

said wearable device establishing and synchronizing data communication with a mobile device when said wearable device detects a mobile device in communication range;

a system server in data communication with said wearable device and said mobile device;

said user performing a double tap on an accessible surface of said wearable device and/or shaking said wearable device to activate the collection by said mobile device of a plurality of historical data points from the system server and collecting at least one available environmental, and time condition data sets for at least one geographic location from the system server;

selecting a data set and displaying said data set on a map associated with said mobile device for a geographic location associated with said selected data set;

initiating a system module embedded in the wearable device to capture tracking data for the user'"'"'s actions from one or more sensors in said wearable device;

saving said captured tracking data in digital storage in a cloud-based service;

transmitting said captured tracking data from the wearable device to a cloud-based service associated with said system server and storing the captured tracking data into an electronic storage repository managed by the cloud-based service;

enabling a user to interact with said collection of tracking and historical data as presented on a user interactive display available on said mobile device and in communication with said system server to enter into the user interactive display image data, species of fish, and method for catching fish;

associating collected data to the system server through a reporting of collected metrics from each wearable device that is in continuous contact with the system server; and

the system server delivering historical data to one or more mobile devices based upon the collected data points associated with each wearable device where the tracking and historical data provides a prediction for catching fish.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said wearable device comprises any of a wristwatch, smart watch or exercise band in data communication with a mobile device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein said wearable device receives preference data configured by the user.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein said system server performs an analysis of collected data to predict the probability of success in catching fish for the user.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising providing collected information from said system server to provide tutorials to assist the user in understanding whether, and how, they are improving in their fishing efforts over time.

6. The system of claim 5, further comprising providing weather information, bait information, watch configuration, water depth, water temperature, photos of fish, analytics and environmental condition information related to a fishing activity to a user.

7. The system of claim 6, further comprising automated tracking of cast motions, heart rate, pulse, and sound data.

8. The system of claim 7, further comprising analyzing collected user data to create and provide probability recommendations for a successful catch for a given fishing location.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein said software system comprises providing a data communication connection to a digital storage repository utilizing said cloud-based service;

and

permitting the user to retrieve the data associated with a trip that corresponds to the user'"'"'s activation based on the user'"'"'s activation of the system through tapping, shaking and/or pressing a button associated with the wearable device.

10. A method of processing collected data comprising:

a user performing a double tap on an accessible surface of a wearable device and/or shaking said wearable device as an initiation action to activate the collection by a mobile device of a plurality of historical data points from a system server and collecting at least one available environmental, and time condition data sets for at least one geographic location from the system server;

the tapping and/or shaking on said wearable device triggering the automatic collection of data by said system server in association with said geographic location and delivering said collection of data to a mobile device associated with said wearable device;

initiating a system module embedded in the wearable device to capture tracking data for the user'"'"'s actions from one or more sensors in said wearable device;

saving said captured tracking data in a digital database associated with the mobile device;

transmitting said captured tracking data from the wearable device to a cloud-based service associated with said system server and storing the captured tracking data into an electronic storage repository managed by the cloud-based service;

enabling a user to interact with said collection of data associated with said wearable device to enter into a user interactive display presented on an additional connected mobile device images, species of fish, and methods for catching fish;

a user retrieving one or more data records stored on the wearable device to be transmitted to said system server for storage and later retrieval; and

where the collected tracking and historical data is analyzed within said system server and used to provide statistical outputs from the system server to said mobile device to provide a prediction to the user of said user'"'"'s chances of successfully catching fish in a given location.

11. The method recited in claim 10, further comprising said wearable device providing notifications to the user through the wearable device using tones or lights.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising providing collected information from said system server regarding the operation of the wearable device to provide tutorials to assist the user in understanding whether, and how, they are improving in their fishing efforts over time.
