Solution Overview

Problem

Finding a suitable location for fishing can be time-consuming for fishermen, as they often rely on detailed logs and do not effectively consider all available data, such as location, date, wind direction, and water temperature, to determine optimal fishing spots.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for analyzing fishing data to suggest optimal locations, using a computer-readable medium with instructions to receive and analyze input criteria like location, date, wind direction, and water temperature to display suggested fishing locations on maps, including expert suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If fishermen manually review detailed logs to determine fishing locations, then they can consider past performance data, but the process becomes time-consuming and may not effectively consider all available data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis effectivenessVSAvoidtime to determine fishing location
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of reviewing logs with an automated computer-based system that retrieves and analyzes fishing data electronically, substituting human manual analysis with automated computational processing to improve efficiency and data consideration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically retrieving fishing data from stored logs and generating location recommendations without requiring fishermen to manually review each log entry, allowing the system to serve itself in processing and analyzing the data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If fishermen consider multiple factors (location, date, wind direction, water temperature), then fishing location accuracy improves, but the complexity of data collection and analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefishing location accuracyVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computer system performs multiple functions including retrieving data, analyzing multiple parameters (location, date, wind direction, water temperature), and generating recommendations within a single integrated platform, eliminating the need for separate tools for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a computer-based intermediary that mediates between raw fishing data and decision-making, automatically processing multiple factors and presenting synthesized recommendations, thereby simplifying the complexity for the user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to receive a location, a date, a wind direction, a water temperature, a species, or combinations thereof. The computer may use the location, date, wind direction, water temperature, species, or combinations thereof to retrieve fishing data. The computer may analyze the retrieved fishing data to determine one or more suggested fishing locations.
