ACCUMULATING AND UTILIZING PORT INFORMATION BY SENSOR RECOGNITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961559 titled 'ACCUMULATING AND UTILIZING PORT INFORMATION BY SENSOR RECOGNITION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for a boat to gather and utilize information about a port, including determining an open berth and displaying it on a screen.

  • The system includes a control unit with a processor that determines an open berth based on data obtained at different times from sensors on the boat.
  • The control unit displays the open berth on a screen for the boat operator to see.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in maritime navigation systems to help boats find available berths in ports efficiently.

Problems Solved

This system solves the problem of boats struggling to find open berths in busy ports, saving time and reducing congestion.

Benefits

- Efficient use of port resources - Reduced waiting times for boats - Improved overall port operations

Potential Commercial Applications

"Maritime Navigation System for Efficient Berth Allocation"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to maritime navigation systems or port management systems that could be relevant to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle communication with other boats in the port?

The article does not mention how the system interacts with other boats in the port to avoid conflicts or collisions.

What kind of sensors are used on the boat to gather data about the port?

The article does not specify the type of sensors used on the boat to collect information about the port.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system, adapted for a boat to accumulate and utilize information of a port, the system including a control unit having a processor configured to function as a determining part that determines an open berth of the port; and a display part that displays the open berth determined by the determining part on a display. The control unit determines the open berth based on a first data and a second data, the first data includes information of the port obtained at a first timing by a sensor disposed on the boat, the second data includes information of the port obtained at a second timing, wherein the first timing is different from the second timing, and the first timing is a present time.
