RETRIEVING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A retrieving device for retrieving an object, the retrieving device comprising:
- a retriever pole including a scooping device positioned at a distal end of the retriever pole, wherein the scooping device is configured to retrieve the object when the scooping device is positioned over the object;
a camera configured to record image data of an area within a viewing range of the camera and image data associated with the object;
a monitor positioned near a proximal end of the retriever pole, wherein the monitor is electrically coupled to the camera via an insulated electrical wire that is configured to wrap around a portion of the retriever pole that lies between the monitor and the camera, wherein the monitor is configured to display the image data of the area and the image data associated with the object recorded by the camera; and
a power source electrically coupled to the monitor and the camera, wherein the power source is configured to provide electrical power to the monitor and the camera.

Abstract
A retrieving device for retrieving an object may be provided. The retrieving device may include a retriever pole that may include a scooping device positioned at one end of the retriever pole. The scooping device may be configured to retrieve the object when positioned over the object. Additionally, the retrieving device may include a camera configured to record image data of an area within a viewing range of the camera and image data associated with the object. The retrieving device may also include a monitor positionable at the other end of the retrieving pole, which may be electrically coupled to the camera via an insulated electrical wire. The monitor may display the image data of the area and the image data associated with the object recorded by the camera. Furthermore, the retrieving device may include a power source that may be electrically coupled to the monitor and the camera.
