Abstract: A system and method for tracking the position of a smart plug on a marine vehicle is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia used to alert a user of the position of the smart plug on a marine vehicle so that the user may properly position the smart plug on the marine vehicle prior to launching said marine vehicle in a body of water. The system generally comprises a smart plug, a plug sensor, a processor operably connected to the plug sensor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon. In some preferred embodiments, a computing device having a user interface may be operably connected to the processor. At least one sensor of the smart plug collects data that may be used by the system to alert a user to secure the smart plug in the drain hole.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting alternate global positioning system coordinates is provided. The system generally comprises a geolocation device, processor operably connected to the geolocation device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions instruct the system to select alternate GPS coordinates based off geospatial data received by the processor as well as parameters of the system that may limit the alternate GPS coordinates in which the system may select. The parameters may be selected within a user interface of the system.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying elevated, polarized views of water bodies are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure are generally designed to obtain images from a vantage point located at a first location and subsequently transmit and display the same to an individual located at a second location. To this end, the system and method of the present disclosure may comprise a camera, a mounting device, and a display operably connected to the camera. The mounting device may be used to attach the camera in an elevated position on a boat to enable the camera to capture video images of the body of water surrounding the boat. To reduce glare on the body of water, the camera may have a polarized filter. Video images captured by the camera are transmitted to the display for display thereon in real time.

Abstract: A system and method for managing information related to marine activities and selectively sharing such information is provided. The system is designed to collect environmental data and create buoy profiles that may be analyzed by users to scout environmental conditions that may be conducive to catching fish in certain geolocations. Buoy profiles are updated in real time by fisherman using the system. The system is also designed to collect information pertaining to a catch and create an activity profile that may be analyzed by users to scout optimal geolocations in which to catch fish. A user's activity profiles may be shared with other users or kept private depending on permission levels within the system. Additionally, the system is designed to alert users of dangerous weather conditions and optimal fishing geolocations based on the buoy profiles and environmental states created by the system.

Abstract: A system and method for deterring theft of a marine vehicles is provided. The system is designed to collect barometric pressure data and analyze it to determine whether there has been a sudden change in elevation that may be indicative of a theft. The system is also designed to collect environmental data pertaining to a marine vehicle's normal environment and compare it to a normal environmental state of the marine vehicle in order to detect changes that may be indicative of a theft. Additionally, the system is designed to monitor equipment of the marine vehicle and alert a user if the equipment has been moved in a way that may be indicative of a theft. When the system determines an event has occurred that may be indicative of a theft, the system may alert the user by triggering an alarm via a computer readable signal.

Abstract: A system and method for managing and tracking fishing/hunting rules and regulations is provided. The system generally comprises a global positioning system (GPS), a processor operably connected to the GPS, a power supply, a display operably connected to the processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon. The system and method are designed to easily and conveniently compile and store information or data related to wildlife sports. The system may use this information to help a user comply with state and federal rules and regulations via the creation of registration strategies and via indicia.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking marine equipment is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia corresponding to the inventory level of marine equipment used for a particular marine activity. To facilitate the assignment of indicia reflecting the inventory level of marine equipment used for a marine activity, the system and method of the present disclosure uses a plurality of equipment profiles having a defined lower limit and quantity associated with each piece of marine equipment. The lower limit may be manually input or automatically generated. The quantity may be tracked by the system using equipment transmitters and equipment sensors. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia indicate whether the quantity of a piece of marine equipment has fallen below a certain specified level as defined by the user. Users may purchase new marine equipment from third-party retailers via the user interface.
