Selectable Water Current Flow Simulation Layers for Fish Finders

The patent segments the water body into multiple discrete cells or grid points, with each cell containing simplified current flow parameters (direction and speed). This segmentation allows the complex continuous hydrodynamic model to be represented as a manageable discrete structure that can be stored and processed by consumer electronics devices, resolving the contradiction between comprehensive information representation and device complexity.

The patent creates simplified copies of the complex hydrodynamic model by pre-calculating and storing current flow data at discrete locations based on environmental conditions (tide phase, wind direction, etc.). These copied data representations enable comprehensive current information to be displayed without requiring the full computational complexity of the original hydrodynamic models on consumer devices.

The patent implements dynamic current flow simulations that adapt to changing environmental conditions by selecting from pre-calculated scenarios based on real-time inputs such as tide phase, wind direction, and wind speed. Rather than storing all possible simulation data, the system dynamically generates appropriate current flow patterns by combining base models with environmental parameters, achieving high adaptability with reduced data storage requirements.

The patent uses parameter changes to represent different fishing scenarios by modifying key variables (tide phase, wind direction, wind speed) in the hydrodynamic model. By varying these parameters, the system generates multiple simulation scenarios from a single base model, enabling adaptability across diverse fishing conditions without proportionally increasing the quantity of stored data.
