[0097] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating an intelligent route planning method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, Figure 1 The described intelligent route planning method can be used to plan routes for any vessel (such as passenger ships, cargo ships, etc.) in any navigation area (such as inland navigation area, coastal navigation area, ocean navigation area, etc.). Specifically, this intelligent route planning method can be applied to cloud servers or local servers that plan vessel routes, such as ship monitoring platforms, or it can be applied to user terminals. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations. Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent route planning method can include the following operations:

[0098] 101. When a user requests a route planning request for a target vessel, obtain the navigation information corresponding to the route planning request.

[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, the navigation information includes at least the starting point and the ending point of the target vessel's navigation.

[0100] Optionally, the route planning request can be triggered by the user through the user terminal or by the user directly on the ship monitoring platform. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the scope of the request.

[0101] 102. Based on navigation information, determine the navigation area of ​​the target vessel.

[0102] In this embodiment of the invention, the navigation area is used to represent the area that the target vessel needs to pass through from the starting point to the destination. For example, if the starting point is Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and the destination is Guangzhou, Guangdong, then the navigation area can be Guangdong.

[0114] It is evident that implementing this optional implementation method can select a target sub-region that meets the ship's navigation needs based on the navigation restrictions and available navigation resources of multiple sub-regions in the area where the ship needs to navigate, and generate corresponding optional routes accordingly. This improves the matching degree between the navigation restrictions and navigation resources in the route and the ship's navigation needs, improves the accuracy of route planning, and thus improves the safety and reliability of ship navigation.

[0115] As can be seen, implementing the embodiments of the present invention can determine the optional route matching the ship based on the ship's navigation information and the area information of the area where the ship is to navigate, realize intelligent route planning, improve the matching degree between the determined route and the ship's navigation information, thereby improving the accuracy of route planning, and thus improving the safety and reliability of ship navigation.

[0116] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include:

Based on the navigation environment information for each available route, select at least one route from the available route set that meets the preset navigation environment conditions, and use this as the updated available route set; and / or,

[0120] Predict the navigation time for each optional route.

The navigation time for each optional route may include one or more of the following: the start time of navigation, the arrival time of navigation, and the navigation duration for the target vessel to navigate based on the optional route.

[0121] As can be seen, implementing this optional embodiment can determine the navigation environment of each optional route based on the ship's pre-set sailing time, thereby selecting routes that meet the ship's navigation environment conditions, improving the matching degree between the planned route's navigation environment and the ship's needs. It can also determine optional routes that match the ship's preset sailing time based on the navigation time of the optional routes, improving the matching degree between the determined route's navigation time and the ship's needs, further improving the accuracy of route planning, and reducing the occurrence of ships failing to reach their destinations on time.

[0126] Optionally, preset navigation environment conditions may include navigation safety conditions and / or unobstructed navigation conditions.

[0127] Optionally, the vessel traffic information for a sub-region may include one or more of the following: the number of vessels, vessel type, and speed of all vessels expected to pass through the corresponding sub-region within the corresponding transit time range.

[0128] It is evident that implementing this optional method can predict the transit time range of a ship in multiple areas on an optional route based on the ship's preset sailing time, and use the predicted environmental and navigation information of these areas within the transit time range as a basis for selecting optional routes, which is beneficial to improving the safety and smoothness of ship navigation.

[0129] In another alternative embodiment, the method may further include:

[0130] Output one or more optional routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view. The route display information shall include at least the route identifier of the corresponding optional route.

[0131] Optionally, the system may output route information for one or more selectable routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view, which may include:

[0132] When the number of available routes is greater than 1, all available routes are sorted according to the sub-route information that matches the predetermined navigation elements in the route information of all available routes. The sorting result is used to indicate the recommendation priority of the available routes. Optionally, the navigation elements may include one or more of the following: navigation distance, route safety, route risk, navigation time, number of bridges, number of times the route has been sailed, number of times the route has stopped, route smoothness, route congestion, and number of detour areas.

[0133] Based on the sorting results, output one or more optional routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view. Optionally, the route display information may also include sub-route information that matches the navigation elements in the route information of the corresponding optional route.

[0134] In this optional embodiment, when the number of optional routes is greater than 1, route display information of all optional routes can be output. Alternatively, optional routes with a recommendation priority greater than a preset recommendation priority threshold, such as the top 3 optional routes, can be output. Route display information of the remaining optional routes will only be output when the user needs to view the remaining optional routes. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations.

[0135] As can be seen, implementing this optional embodiment can also output route display information of the determined optional routes to the user, thereby facilitating the user's route selection. It also helps the user to correct the navigation information in a timely manner when the planned route is inaccurate, further improving the accuracy and reliability of route determination. Furthermore, when multiple optional routes are determined, the recommendation priority of all routes can be sorted according to navigation factors, making it easier for the user to choose routes that are shorter, safer, and smoother, thereby improving the efficiency, safety, and smoothness of ship navigation.

[0136] In yet another alternative embodiment, before determining the navigation area of ​​the target vessel based on navigation information, the method may further include:

[0137] Based on navigation information, determine whether there is at least one available route matching the target vessel in the pre-built route database;

[0138] When the judgment result is yes, the above-mentioned operation of outputting one or more optional route display information to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request is triggered for the user to view;

[0139] If the judgment result is negative, the above-mentioned operation of determining the target vessel's navigation area based on navigation information is triggered.

[0140] Optionally, after determining the set of possible routes matching the target vessel based on navigation information and area information, the method may further include:

[0141] By associating the route information of the optional routes with the navigation information, the relationship between the optional routes and the navigation information can be obtained;

[0142] The route information, navigation information, and the relationship between the optional routes and navigation information are stored in the route database.

[0143] As can be seen, when implementing this optional embodiment, if a ship's route needs to be planned, the system first queries the database to see if a matching optional route already exists. If so, the existing optional route is directly output; otherwise, the required optional route is generated. This helps improve the efficiency of optional route planning. Furthermore, after the required optional route is generated, its route information and navigation information are associated and stored in the database for subsequent queries, reducing the need for repeated route planning steps.

[0144] Example 2

[0145] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another intelligent route planning method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, Figure 2 The described intelligent route planning method can be used to plan routes for any vessel (such as passenger ships, cargo ships, etc.) in any navigation area (such as inland navigation area, coastal navigation area, ocean navigation area, etc.). Specifically, this intelligent route planning method can be applied to cloud servers or local servers that plan vessel routes, such as ship monitoring platforms, or it can be applied to user terminals. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent route planning method can include the following operations:

[0146] 201. When a user requests a route planning request for a target vessel, obtain the navigation information corresponding to the route planning request.

[0147] 202. Based on navigation information, determine the navigation area of ​​the target vessel.

[0148] 203. Obtain the area information of the area to be navigated.

[0149] 204. Based on navigation information and regional information, determine a set of optional routes that match the target vessel.

[0150] In this embodiment of the invention, for other descriptions of steps 201-204, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101 to 104 in Embodiment 1. These descriptions will not be repeated in this embodiment of the invention.

[0151] 205. When a user-triggered route selection command is detected, the target route selected by the user is determined according to the route selection command.

[0152] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the target route selected by the user can be an optional route from a pre-determined set of optional routes, or it can be a route set by the user himself. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations.

[0153] 206. Based on the route information and navigation information of the target route, determine one or more early warning points in the target route that match the target vessel.

[0154] In this embodiment of the invention, the warning point may optionally be one or more of the following: bridge area, water service area, water operation area, lane separation navigation system area, mooring area, dam area, no-navigation area, warning area, traffic control area, anchorage, U-turn area, sheltered area, safe operation area, water transfer area, aquaculture area, fishing area, fishery, sand mining operation area, water wind farm, military area, shoal area, pollution prevention equipment area, helicopter landing point, and information on water management agencies. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the scope of the warning point.

[0155] 207. For one or more warning points, based on the warning information matching the warning point, conduct navigation warning processing for relevant personnel to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point.

[0156] Optionally, relevant personnel may include navigation personnel of the target vessel and / or staff at early warning points. Further optionally, relevant personnel may also include first- or multi-level regulatory personnel corresponding to the vessel monitoring platform.

[0157] As an optional implementation, for one or more warning points, based on the warning information matching the warning points, warning processing for relevant personnel may include:

[0158] Before the target vessel proceeds along the target route, relevant personnel are alerted based on the first warning information matching the warning point, in order to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point. The warning information matching the warning point may include the first warning information matching the warning point; and / or,

[0159] When the target vessel is sailing on the target route, the real-time position of the target vessel is monitored. When the real-time position of the target vessel matches the position of the warning point, the relevant personnel are given a warning based on the second warning information that matches the warning point, so as to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point. The warning information that matches the warning point may include the second warning information that matches the warning point.

[0160] Optionally, the first warning information and / or the second warning information may include one or more of the following: the target vessel's vessel identification, the target vessel's navigation information, the target route information, the predicted arrival time and / or actual arrival time of the target vessel at the warning point, and navigation instructions for the target vessel, wherein the navigation instructions for the target vessel are used to indicate whether the target vessel is allowed to pass through the warning point.

[0161] It is evident that implementing this optional method can provide early warnings to ship crew and personnel at warning points before the ship embarks on its journey, i.e., advance prediction and early warning before navigation, which helps reduce the probability of ship navigation accidents. Furthermore, it can provide early warnings when the ship's real-time position matches the warning point, i.e., prediction and early warning during navigation, thereby alerting crew and personnel at the warning point as the ship approaches the warning point, increasing their attention, and further helping to reduce the probability of ship navigation accidents.

[0162] As can be seen, implementing the embodiments of the present invention can determine the optional route matching the ship based on the ship's navigation information and the area information of the area where the ship is to navigate, realizing intelligent route planning, improving the matching degree between the determined route and the ship's navigation information, thereby improving the accuracy of route planning, and thus improving the safety and reliability of ship navigation. In addition, after the user selects the route to be navigated, the warning points in the route are determined in advance, and warnings are given to the ship's navigation personnel and the personnel at the warning points. Compared with the prior art, which issues warnings only when the detection equipment at the warning point detects the ship, the embodiments of the present invention can make predictions and issue warnings in advance, which helps to reduce the probability of ship navigation accidents.

[0163] In this optional embodiment, as an alternative implementation, the method may further include:

[0164] When the target vessel is sailing on the target route, the system detects whether the target vessel is moving toward the warning point based on its real-time movement trajectory.

[0165] When it is detected that the target vessel is moving toward the warning point, it is determined whether the distance between the real-time position of the target vessel and the position of the warning point is less than the warning distance threshold corresponding to the warning point.

[0166] When it is determined that the distance between the real-time position of the target vessel and the position of the warning point is less than the warning distance threshold corresponding to the warning point, it is determined that the real-time position of the target vessel matches the position of the warning point, and the second warning information based on the matching of the warning points is triggered to issue a warning to relevant personnel, so as to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point.

[0167] It is evident that implementing this optional implementation method can provide early warnings to relevant personnel when the ship is about to approach the warning point. This not only provides timely warnings to relevant personnel but also reduces the waste of warning resources caused by premature warnings.

[0168] In this optional embodiment, as another optional implementation, when the real-time position of the target vessel matches the position of the warning point, the method may further include:

[0169] Based on the monitoring equipment corresponding to the warning point and / or the navigation status monitoring equipment of the target vessel, determine whether the target vessel has abnormal navigation behavior;

[0170] When abnormal navigation behavior of the target vessel is detected, a third early warning information matching the early warning point is generated based on the abnormal navigation behavior. Based on the third early warning information matching the early warning point, early warning measures are taken for relevant personnel to warn of the abnormal navigation behavior of the target vessel.

[0171] It is evident that implementing this optional method can continue to provide early warnings to relevant personnel when a ship exhibits abnormal navigation behavior, which is beneficial for staff at the early warning point and ship navigators to correct the abnormal navigation behavior in a timely manner and reduce the probability of ship safety accidents.

[0172] Example 3

[0173] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a ship monitoring system disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the ship monitoring system includes at least a ship monitoring platform 301, which can be used to plan the routes of any ship (such as passenger ships, cargo ships, etc.) in any navigation area (such as inland navigation area, coastal navigation area, ocean navigation area, etc.). Specifically, the ship monitoring platform 301 is used to execute the steps in the intelligent route planning method described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0174] As can be seen, the ship monitoring system described in this embodiment of the invention can determine the optional route matching the ship based on the ship's navigation information and the area information of the area where the ship is to navigate, thereby realizing intelligent route planning, improving the matching degree between the determined route and the ship's navigation information, thereby improving the accuracy of route planning, and thus improving the safety and reliability of ship navigation.

[0175] Optional, such as Figure 3As shown, the ship monitoring system may further include a user terminal 302, which is used to send a route planning request triggered by a user for a target ship to the ship monitoring platform 301 when it receives such a request. Optionally, the user terminal 302 is also used to display one or more optional route display information output by the ship monitoring platform 301 for the user to view. Even more optionally, the user terminal 302 is also used to send a route selection command triggered by the user to the ship monitoring platform 301 when it detects such a command. Therefore, the user terminal described in this embodiment of the invention enables interaction between the user and the ship monitoring platform, meeting the user's needs for ship route planning, route viewing, and route selection.

[0176] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the ship monitoring system may further include a first early warning terminal 303 and / or a second early warning terminal 304. The first early warning terminal 303 may be one or more of the following: a user terminal for the navigation personnel of the target ship, a communication terminal configured on the target ship, or a prompting device configured on the target ship. The second early warning terminal 304 may be one or more of the following: a user terminal for the staff at the early warning point, a communication terminal configured on the early warning point, or a prompting device configured on the early warning point. The prompting device may be one or more of the following: an audio prompting device, a display prompting device, or a flashing prompting device. This embodiment of the invention is not limited to any particular type. Further optionally, the ship monitoring platform 301 is also used to send early warning information matching the early warning point to the first early warning terminal 303 and / or the second early warning terminal 304. The first early warning terminal 303 is used, upon receiving the early warning information sent by the ship monitoring platform 301, to perform early warning processing on the navigation personnel of the target ship based on the early warning information, so as to warn that the target ship will pass through the early warning point. The second early warning terminal 304 is used, upon receiving the early warning information sent by the ship monitoring platform 301, to perform early warning processing on the staff at the early warning point based on the early warning information, so as to warn that the target ship will pass through the early warning point. As can be seen, the first and second early warning terminals described in the embodiments of the present invention can receive early warning information sent by the ship supervision platform, thereby providing timely warnings to ship navigators and staff at early warning points, which helps to reduce the probability of ship navigation accidents.

[0177] Optional, such as Figure 3As shown, the ship monitoring system may further include navigation monitoring equipment 305. Navigation monitoring equipment 305 may include one or more of the following: navigation status monitoring equipment on the target ship, monitoring equipment set in the monitoring area corresponding to the ship monitoring system, communication base stations, positioning base stations, navigation guidance equipment, etc. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the scope of the invention. Further optionally, navigation monitoring equipment 305 is used to collect the real-time position of the target ship and upload the real-time position of the target ship to the ship monitoring platform 301. It is evident that the navigation monitoring equipment described in this embodiment of the invention can monitor the real-time position of the ship, thereby facilitating timely warnings when the ship reaches a warning point.

[0178] Example 4

[0179] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent route planning device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The described intelligent route planning device can be used to plan routes for any vessel (such as passenger ships, cargo ships, etc.) in any navigation area (such as inland navigation area, coastal navigation area, ocean navigation area, etc.). Specifically, the intelligent route planning device can be applied to a cloud server or local server for planning vessel routes, such as a ship monitoring platform, or it can be applied to a user's user terminal. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations. Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent route planning device may include:

[0180] The acquisition module 401 is used to acquire the navigation information corresponding to the route planning request when it receives a route planning request from a user for a target vessel. The navigation information includes at least the starting point and the destination of the target vessel.

[0181] The determination module 402 is used to determine the navigation area of ​​the target vessel based on the navigation information. The navigation area represents the area that the target vessel needs to pass through from the starting point to the end point of the navigation.

[0182] The acquisition module 401 is also used to acquire area information of the area to be navigated.

[0183] The determination module 402 is also used to determine a set of optional routes that match the target vessel based on navigation information and area information. The set of optional routes includes at least one optional route.

[0184] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described device can determine the available routes that match the ship based on the ship's navigation information and the area information of the area where the ship is to navigate, thus realizing intelligent route planning, improving the matching degree between the determined route and the ship's navigation information, thereby improving the accuracy of route planning, and further improving the safety and reliability of ship navigation.

[0185] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, navigation information may also include the navigation requirements of the target vessel, and area information may include sub-area information of one or more sub-areas in the area to be navigated. Sub-area information may include navigation restrictions for the vessel in the corresponding sub-area and / or navigation resources that the corresponding sub-area can provide to the vessel.

[0186] Optionally, the specific method by which the determining module 402 determines at least one route matching the target vessel based on navigation information and area information may include:

[0187] Based on the sub-region information of each sub-region, a set of target sub-regions that meet the navigation requirements is selected from all sub-regions. The set of target sub-regions may include one or more target sub-regions.

[0188] Based on the location information, starting point, and ending point of each target sub-region, a set of optional routes matching the target vessel is generated.

[0189] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also select a target sub-region that meets the ship's navigation needs based on the navigation restrictions and available navigation resources in multiple sub-regions within the area where the ship needs to navigate, and generate corresponding optional routes accordingly. This improves the matching degree between navigation restrictions and navigation resources in the route and the ship's navigation needs, enhances the accuracy of route planning, and thus improves the safety and reliability of ship navigation.

[0190] In another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the navigation information may also include the target vessel's preset navigation time, which may include one or more of the target vessel's preset navigation start time, preset navigation arrival time, and preset navigation duration.

[0191] The device may also include:

[0192] The update module 403 is used to update the set of optional routes according to the preset sailing time when the number of optional routes in the set of optional routes is greater than 1, so as to obtain the updated set of optional routes.

[0193] Optionally, the update module 403 updates the set of optional routes according to a preset sailing time, and the specific method for obtaining the updated set of optional routes may include:

[0194] Predict the navigation environment for each available route and the preset flight time to obtain navigation environment information for each available route. Based on the navigation environment information for each available route, select at least one route from the available route set that meets the preset navigation environment conditions, and use this as the updated available route set; and / or,

[0195] Predict the navigation time for each optional route. Based on the navigation time for each optional route, select at least one route from the set of optional routes that matches the preset navigation time as the updated set of optional routes. The navigation time for each optional route may include one or more of the following: the start time of navigation, the arrival time of navigation, and the navigation duration for the target vessel to navigate based on the optional route.

[0196] It is evident that implementation Figure 5 The described device can determine the navigation environment of each optional route based on the ship's pre-set sailing time, thereby selecting routes that meet the ship's navigation environment conditions, improving the matching degree between the planned route's navigation environment and the ship's needs. It can also determine optional routes that match the ship's preset sailing time based on the navigation time of the optional routes, improving the matching degree between the determined route's navigation time and the ship's needs, further improving the accuracy of route planning, and reducing the occurrence of ships failing to reach their destinations on time.

[0197] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the update module 403 predicts the navigation environment for each optional route and the preset flight time, and the specific method for obtaining the navigation environment information for each optional route may include:

[0198] Based on the preset sailing time, predict the time range in which the target vessel passes through one or more target sub-regions in the selectable route, and use this as the corresponding transit time range for the target sub-regions.

[0199] Obtain the regional dynamic information of the predicted target sub-region within the corresponding transit time range. The regional dynamic information may include the environmental information and / or the navigation information of the corresponding target sub-region. The environmental information may include the hydrological information and / or meteorological information of the corresponding target sub-region, and the navigation information may include the vessel passage information of the corresponding target sub-region.

[0200] Based on the regional dynamic information of one or more target sub-regions in each optional route within the corresponding transit time range, determine the air traffic environment information of the optional routes;

[0201] The preset navigation environment conditions may include navigation safety conditions and / or unobstructed navigation conditions.

[0202] It is evident that implementation Figure 5The described device can also predict the transit time range of a ship in multiple areas on a selectable route based on the ship's preset sailing time, and use the predicted environmental and navigation information of these areas within the transit time range as a basis for selecting selectable routes, which helps to improve the safety and smoothness of ship navigation.

[0203] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the device may further include:

[0204] The output module 404 is used to output one or more optional route display information to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view. The route display information includes at least the route identifier of the corresponding optional route.

[0205] Optionally, the output module 404 may output route information for one or more selectable routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view, and the specific methods may include:

[0206] When the number of available routes is greater than 1, all available routes are sorted according to the sub-route information that matches the predetermined navigation elements in the route information of all available routes. The sorting result is used to indicate the recommendation priority of the available routes. The navigation elements may include one or more of the following: navigation distance, route safety, route risk, navigation time, number of bridges, number of times the route has been sailed, number of times the route has stopped, route smoothness, route congestion, and number of detour areas.

[0207] Based on the sorting results, output one or more optional routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view. The route display information may also include sub-route information that matches the navigation elements in the route information of the corresponding optional routes.

[0208] It is evident that implementation Figure 5 The described device can also output route display information of the determined optional routes to the user, so as to facilitate the user to select a route. It also helps the user to correct the navigation information in a timely manner when the planned route is inaccurate, further improving the accuracy and reliability of route determination. When multiple optional routes are determined, the device can sort the recommendation priority of all routes according to navigation factors, so as to facilitate the user to select routes that are shorter, safer, and smoother, thereby improving the efficiency, safety and smoothness of ship navigation.

[0209] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the device may further include:

[0210] The judgment module 405 is used to determine, before the determination module 402 determines the navigation area of ​​the target vessel based on the navigation information, whether there is at least one optional route matching the target vessel in the pre-built route database; when the judgment result is yes, the output module 404 is triggered to perform the above-mentioned operation of outputting route display information of one or more optional routes to the user terminal corresponding to the route planning request for the user to view; when the judgment result is no, the determination module 402 is triggered to perform the above-mentioned operation of determining the navigation area of ​​the target vessel based on the navigation information.

[0211] The association module 406 is used to associate the route information of the optional routes with the navigation information after the determination module 402 determines the set of optional routes matching the target vessel based on navigation information and area information, so as to obtain the association relationship between the optional routes and the navigation information.

[0212] Storage module 407 is used to store route information, navigation information, and the relationship between the optional route and the navigation information in the route database.

[0213] It is evident that implementation Figure 5 The described device, when it is necessary to plan a ship's route, first queries the database to see if a matching alternative route already exists. If so, it directly outputs the existing alternative route; otherwise, it generates the required alternative route. This helps improve the efficiency of alternative route planning. Furthermore, after generating the required alternative route, it associates and stores its route information and navigation information in the database for subsequent queries, reducing the need for repeated route planning steps.

[0214] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the determining module 402 is also used to determine the target route selected by the user according to the route selection instruction when a route selection instruction triggered by the user is detected; and to determine one or more warning points in the target route that match the target vessel according to the route information and navigation information of the target route.

[0215] The device may also include:

[0216] The early warning module 408 is used to provide navigation warnings to relevant personnel based on the early warning information matching the early warning points for one or more early warning points, so as to warn that a target vessel will pass through the early warning point. The relevant personnel may include the navigation personnel of the target vessel and / or the staff of the early warning point.

[0217] It is evident that implementation Figure 5The described device also determines early warning points along the route after the user selects the desired navigation route, and issues warnings to the ship's navigators and the staff at the warning points. Compared to the prior art, which issues warnings only when the detection equipment at the warning point detects the ship, the present invention can predict and issue warnings in advance, which helps to reduce the probability of ship navigation accidents.

[0218] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, for one or more warning points, the specific methods by which the warning module 408 conducts warning processing on relevant personnel based on the warning information matching the warning points may include:

[0219] Before the target vessel proceeds along the target route, relevant personnel are alerted based on the first warning information matching the warning point, in order to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point. The warning information matching the warning point may include the first warning information matching the warning point; and / or,

[0220] When the target vessel is sailing on the target route, the real-time position of the target vessel is monitored. When the real-time position of the target vessel matches the position of the warning point, the relevant personnel are given a warning based on the second warning information that matches the warning point, so as to warn that the target vessel will pass through the warning point. The warning information that matches the warning point may include the second warning information that matches the warning point.

[0221] It is evident that implementation Figure 5 The described device can provide early warnings to ship crew and personnel at warning points before the ship sets sail, thus enabling advance prediction and warning before navigation, which helps reduce the probability of navigation accidents. It can also provide early warnings when the ship's real-time position matches the warning point, thus enabling advance prediction and warning during navigation. This alerts the crew and personnel at the warning point as the ship approaches the warning point, increasing their attention and further reducing the probability of navigation accidents.
