    1 METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING AN ANCHORING LOCATION OF A MARINE VESSEL Background [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to determining an anchoring of a marine vessel, and more specifically, to a system and method for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel based on location data of the marine vessel. [0002] Finding an anchoring berth is not supported by current technology. Lack of knowledge on this subject at best can make some situations frustrating and difficult, and at worse cause one to lose a boat or even a life. Many factors must be considered when determining where to anchor a boat, such as: shelter from wind, boat traffic, "swinging room" availability, a depth of water, and a terrain of the sea floor. However, even with current technology, finding a proper location to anchor a boat can be an extremely difficult and time consuming task, especially in areas a mariner is not familiar with. Summary [0003] In one aspect, a system for detecting an anchoring location of a marine vessel is provided. 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. [0004] In another aspect, a computing device for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel is provided. The computing device includes a memory area, a location component that determines location data of the marine vessel; and a processor. The processor is programmed to receive the location data of the marine vessel, determine, from the location data, a location along 2 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. [0005] In yet another aspect, a method for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel is provided. The method includes receiving location data of the marine vessel, determining, 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 identifying 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. [0006] The following paragraphs further describe some aspects of embodiments of the invention: [0007] In one embodiment, a system is provided for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel, the system comprising: 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; an anchorage database configured to store anchorage locations and a processor programmed to: receive, from the first computing device, the location data of the marine vessel; determine, from the location data, that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than a maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time; and identify the location that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than an anchoring threshold distance over the predefined period of time as an anchoring location.
    3 [0008] In a variant of the system, the processor is further programmed to provide, from the anchorage database, one or more anchorage locations within the defined radius of a particular location. [0009] In a second variant of the system, the particular location is a current location of the second marine vessel. [0010] In another embodiment, a method is provided for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel, the method comprising: receiving location data associated with the marine vessel; determining, from the location data, a location that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than a maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time; and identifying the location that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the anchoring threshold distance over the predefined period of time as an anchoring location. [0011] In a variant of the method, the location data is received from a computing device on the marine vessel and the computing device is a global positioning system (GPS) device. [0012] In a second variant of the method, the location data comprises location coordinates of the marine vessel. [0013] In a third variant of the method, the method comprises using an identification of the marine vessel is a factor in determining a length of the anchoring threshold distance. [0014] In a fourth variant of the method, the anchoring location is within a predefined distance from an additional anchoring location, and wherein the method further comprises determining an average anchorage location based on a distance between the anchorage location and the additional anchorage location. [0015] In a fifth variant of the method, the method further comprises storing the anchoring location in an anchorage database; and providing, from the anchorage database, one or more anchorage locations within the defined radius of a particular location. [0016] The variants of the embodiments may be combined.
    4 Brief Description of the Drawings [0017] The present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures. [0018] Figure 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system for use in determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. [0019] Figure 2 is an exemplary block diagram of a computing device having a memory area storing components for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. [0020] Figure 3 is an exemplary flow chart illustrating a process for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. [0021] Figures 4 and 5 are illustrative examples of possible anchoring locations determined by the systems and methods described herein. Detailed Description [0022] A Global Positioning System (GPS) can be used by a mariner to identify a current location of a marine vessel (e.g., a boat or a ship). This GPS position information can be used for supporting other systems to identify a location of other marine vessels (AIS - Automatic Identification System), a route to a particular location (Chartplotter), ocean terrain (Chartplotter), and/or current weather conditions/forecasts for the location. GPS tracking systems may also be used to record a route a marine vessel has taken as well as record a time the marine vessel has spent at various locations along the route. However, even with the information provided by current technology, if a mariner does not have previous experience anchoring in a particular location or does not have documentation showing ideal anchoring locations, finding a proper location to anchor a marine vessel can be an extremely difficult and time consuming task. Further, unless a mariner chooses to document/identify various locations along the route the marine vessel has anchored, these anchoring locations are not captured in the record/tracking of the route. [0023] The present disclosure enables an anchoring location of a marine vessel to be automatically determined from location data within the recorded/tracked route information 5 associated with a marine vessel. However, one of ordinary skill in the art guided by the teachings herein will appreciate that while embodiments of the disclosure are illustrated and described herein with reference to using information captured by a GPS tracking system to determine an anchoring location of a marine vessel, aspects of the disclosure are operable with any system that performs the functionality illustrated and described herein, or its equivalent. [0024] An exemplary technical effect of the methods and systems described herein includes at least one of (a) receiving location data associated with a marine vessel; (b) determining, 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 (c) identifying 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. [0025] With reference now to Figure 1, an exemplary block diagram of a system 100 for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel is provided. Embodiments of the disclosure enable a mobile communication device with navigation functionality, such as a first computing device 102, to record location data for a route of, for example, a marine vessel. In some embodiments, first computing device 102 is a mobile communication device with GPS capabilities for gathering the location data. In some embodiments, first computing device 102 stores the location data in memory (not shown), which can later be accessed by a second computing device 104. In other embodiments, second computing device 104 can access the location data from first computing device 102 in real time, for example, via a network 106. In one embodiment, system 100 also includes an anchorage database 108 that stores anchorage locations. As such, marine vessels can search anchorage database 108 for anchorage locations in a particular area, for example, a current location of a marine vessel or a particular location along a route the marine vessel. [0026] While embodiments of the disclosure are illustrated and described herein with reference to a computing device or mobile computing device such as a laptop, embedded device, telephone, or a personal digital assistant, aspects of the disclosure are operable with any computing device that performs the functionality illustrated and described herein, or its equivalent. For example, embodiments of the disclosure are operable with a desktop computing 6 device, a laptop computer, and other portable and non-portable computing devices capable of providing navigation functionality. [0027] Referring now to Figure 2, second computing device 104 includes a memory area 202, at least one processor 204, and one or more optional displays 206 for displaying navigation information to a user. Although processor 204 is shown separate from memory area 202, embodiments of the disclosure contemplate that memory area 202 may be onboard processor 204, such as in some embedded systems. The diagram of Figure 2 is merely illustrative of an exemplary computing device that can be used in connection with one or more embodiments of the disclosure, and is not intended to be limiting in any way. [0028] Memory area 202, or other computer-readable media, stores computer-executable components for determining and identifying anchoring locations of marine vessels. Exemplary components include, but are not limited to, an interface component 208 and a location component 210. Memory area 202 further stores location data such as location information associated with a route as well as a time spent at various locations along the route. For example, the location information may include location coordinates for each location along a route of a marine vessel. As such, a detailed and accurate path of a marine vessel along a route can be stored in memory area 202. [0029] In one embodiment, computer-executable instructions for determining an anchor location of a marine vessel may be stored and executed from a memory area remote from second computing device 104. For example, instructions may be stored in a cloud service, a database, or other memory area accessible by second computing device 104. Such embodiments reduce the computational and storage burden on second computing device 104. [0030] Referring again to Figure 2, interface component 208 receives, from first computing device 102, via a connection such as network 106, location data associated with the marine vessel. In embodiments, location component 210 determines location data of the marine vessel upon receipt of the location data from first computing device 102, which can either be accessed in real time or anytime thereafter. [0031] In one embodiment, processor 204 is transformed into a special purpose microprocessor by executing computer-executable instructions or by otherwise being programmed. For 7 example, processor 204 is programmed with instructions such as is illustrated in and next described in Figure 3. [0032] With reference now to Figure 3, an exemplary flow chart illustrates a method for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. Initially, at 302, location data of a route of a marine vessel is captured by a first computing device (e.g., first computing device 102). In one embodiment, first computing device 102 includes navigation functionality to record location data for a route of the marine vessel during a route of the marine vessel and storing the location data in a memory (not shown) of first computing device 102. [0033] At 304, the location data associated with the marine vessel is accessed by a second computing device (e.g., second computing device 104). Second computing device 104 may access the location data from first computing device 102 in real time, or anytime thereafter, for example, via a network 106. At 306, second computing device 104, and more specifically, location component 210 determines, 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. [0034] For example, with reference now to Figure 4, a first location identified in the location data of the marine vessel is shown at 402 and a second location identified in the location data of the marine vessel is shown at 404. Further, at 406, the location data provides a length 406 between first location 402 and the second location 404. As shown in Figure 4, length 406 between first location 402 and second location 404 is less than a maximum threshold distance 408. While maximum threshold distance 408 described herein is representative of a maximum distance a marine vessel travels when the marine vessel is anchored, maximum threshold distance 408 may be a predefined distance, or a distance that is based on, for example, a type/size of the marine vessel associated with the location data, a length of an anchor line for the marine vessel, a depth of the ocean at anchor point 412, the wind, and/or a combination thereof. Thus, maximum threshold distance 408 may be static or dynamic. [0035] As explained above, location component 210 not only determines, 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, location component 210 also determines, from the location data, whether the marine vessel traveled a distance less than a maximum threshold distance over 8 a predefined period of time. For example, a marine vessel may be anchored for a variety of reasons/activities, such as, for swimming, scuba diving, fishing, and/or an overnight stay. However, each of these activities typically have different anchoring times with respect to how long each activity takes as well as a time of day for each activity. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure enable an anchoring of the marine vessel to be determined based in part on a defined length of time the marine vessel is within the maximum threshold distance, and the defined length of time may be a length of time representative of a short term anchoring (e.g., anchoring for swimming), or a long term anchoring (e.g., an overnight stay). In addition, the defined length of time may be within a particular time of the day/night. For example, to identify an anchoring representative of an overnight stay, location component 210 may only identify possible anchoring locations that a marine vessel travels a distance less than a maximum threshold distance between sunset and sunrise (e.g., from dawn to dusk). [0036] With reference back to Figure 3, at 308, a 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 is identified as an anchoring location (e.g., location 410 in Figure 4). In one embodiment, the anchoring location is the average distance between first location 402 and second location 404 of the marine vessel. In another embodiment, determining where the anchoring location is identified between first location 402 and second location 404 of the marine vessel is based on weather conditions (e.g., wind and waves) during a particular time period being analyzed, a length of the anchor line, depth of anchor point 412, and/or a type/size of the marine vessel. However, once the anchoring location is determined, at 310, the anchoring location is stored in memory area 202. [0037] With reference now to Figure 5, an illustrative example of a particular area having a plurality of determined anchoring locations is provided. That is, a particular area may include pre-existing anchoring locations (e.g., anchoring locations 410, 502, and 504) stored in memory area 202. In one embodiment, once a defined maximum number of anchoring locations are within a defined minimum radius 506 from one another, location component 210 may consolidate the anchoring locations within the minimum distance into an average anchorage location 508, and thereafter, memory area 202 is updated to show average anchorage location 508.
    9 [0038] In one embodiment, a marine vessel can access anchorage database 108 to search/identify anchorage locations in a particular area. As such, marine vessels can search the anchorage database 108 for anchorage locations in a particular area, for example, a current location of a marine vessel or a particular location along a route the marine vessel. In one embodiment, a marine vessel provides anchorage database 108 with a current location of the marine vessel. Thereafter, anchorage database 108 provides the marine vessel with one or more stored anchorage locations based on the current location of the marine vessel. In another embodiment, a user searches anchorage database 108 for anchorage locations along a route of the marine vessel. In further embodiments, a user receives updates from anchorage database 108 based on new anchorage locations determined by, for example, second computing device 104. As such, as anchorage database 108 is updated in real-time, the real-time updates are also provided to marine vessels/users based on, for example, a current location of the marine vessel or a route of the marine vessel.
