EP3869361A1 — Interactive remote guidance system for seaborne vessels

USPTO Abstract

Techniques for providing instructions to an operator of a sea vessel (301) via a computing device (502, 900, 1000) are described. The computing device (502, 900, 1000) can request, from another computing device (306, 309, 900, 1000), instructions regarding one or more of an intended course and action plan for the sea vessel (301), which can include at least one navigational instruction and/or deployment instruction. The computing device (502, 900, 1000) can send data to a display device (303) to cause a prompt to be displayed. The prompt can include options regarding the at least one instruction. The computing device (502, 900, 1000) can send state information of the sea vessel (301) to the other computing device (306, 309, 900, 1000). The state information can include the received input and location information of the sea vessel (301). Additionally, data can be received by the computing device (502, 900, 1000) from a shore based operator and data can be sent to one or more clients on shore.
