  • Patent number: 11951404
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring an attribute of wildlife/marine life and confirming that measurement as legitimate by matching a digital code of the measurement device with a digital lock of the system is provided. A user may capture image data using a camera of a computing device, wherein the image data may contain measurement data that may be extracted and saved to a user's user profile. The system may determine if the data is legitimate based on a digital code contained within the image data and a digital lock of the system. The system may also create a digital fingerprint using a cryptographic hash function and data associated with the image data. The system may subsequently watermark a digital image with said digital fingerprint to create a watermarked digital image, wherein said digital image was created using said image data having said associated data.

  • Patent number: 11900351
    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.

  • Patent number: 11396347
    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.
