       [0001]    This is the U.S. national stage of application No. PCT/JP2014/071314, filed on Aug. 12, 2014. Priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) and 35 U.S.C. §365(b) is claimed from Japanese Application No. 2013-176843, filed Aug. 28, 2013, the disclosure of which is also incorporated herein by reference. 
     
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a remote server acquiring an income distribution of a fishing ground. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0003]    A remote server provides a distant user with some service. For example, in a field of fishery, a global positioning system (GPS) as one of remote servers acquires present location information on a ship. JP 10-197622 A discloses that the remote server acquires the location information on the ship and makes a track chat by displaying the information on a map. 
         [0004]    On the other hand, in a field of longshore fishery for collecting shellfishes and seaweeds, a ship is often anchored at a spot to be operated. In a fishing ground (for example, the sea near the shore, or the lake), if a catch of fish is considered as income, income distribution of the fishing ground is acquired by obtaining the information on the ship operating in the fishing ground including operating days, anchor spots, and the catch of fish.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0016]    A remote server system  100  is explained using  FIG. 1 . 
         [0017]      FIG. 1  schematically shows the remote server system  100 . 
         [0018]    The remote server system  100  is a system according to an embodiment according to the present invention. The remote server system  100  provides a distance user with some service. The remote server system  100  in the present embodiment provides some service to a user using a fishing boat  4  operating in a lake A (see  FIG. 3 ) from a remote information center  110  through overseas communication companies  130  in countries of the world and domestic communication companies  120 . 
         [0019]    The remote server system  100  is further explained using  FIG. 2 . 
         [0020]      FIG. 2  schematically shows the remote server system  100 . 
         [0021]    The remote server system  100  in the present embodiment provides the user using the fishing boat  4  operating in the lake A with a collection spot distribution map  55  and an income distribution map  56  described below. In the present embodiment, the fishing boat  4  operates to collect corbiculae. 
         [0022]    The remote server system  100  is configured such that a remote server  5  disposed in the remote information center  110  (see  FIG. 1 ) can communicates with a terminal server  6  disposed in the operating fishing boat  4 . 
         [0023]    The remote server  5  is configured to communicate with many terminal servers  6  at the same time. For example, the remote server  5  is configured to communicate with a terminal server  6  disposed in a fishing boat operating in the lake A and a terminal server  6  disposed in a fishing boat operating in another fishing ground (a river, a lake or the like). 
         [0024]    In the present embodiment, the terminal servers  6  of the fishing boat  4  operating in the lake A sends at least operating days, positions and a catch (weight) of the corbiculae of the fishing boat  4  to the remote server  5 . 
         [0025]    The remote server  5  makes the collection spot distribution map  55  and the income distribution map  56  described below based on information of the lake A, sent by the terminal servers  6 , on the operating days, the positions and the catch of the corbiculae of the fishing boat  4 . 
         [0026]    The collection spot distribution map  55  is explained using  FIG. 3 . 
         [0027]      FIG. 3  schematically shows the collection spot distribution map  55 . 
         [0028]    The collection spot distribution map  55  expresses, for example, distribution of the collection spot by the fishing boat  4  in the lake A in a fishing season of the corbiculae. In the present invention, the collection spot is a spot where the fishing boat  4  is at anchor for a long time in order to collect the corbiculae. 
         [0029]    The collection spot distribution map  55  expresses distribution of the collection spot in the lake A in a planar view. The collection spot distribution map  55  according to the present embodiment classifies spots in the lake A depending on an anchor time level. The anchor time level is divided into four levels indicated by circles having shading depending on the time at each spot in the lake A when the fishing boat is at anchor. 
         [0030]    For example, many dark circles are illustrated in a spot where a river B or a river C joins the lake A. This shows that the fishing boat  4  is at anchor for a long time in the spot. On the other hand, light dark circles are illustrated in a spot of the north coast of the lake A. This shows that the fishing boat  4  is at anchor for a short time in the spot. 
         [0031]    The income distribution map  56  is explained using  FIG. 4 . 
         [0032]      FIG. 4  schematically shows the income distribution map  56 . 
         [0033]    The income distribution map  56  expresses, for example, distribution of income of the lake A in the fishing season of the corbiculae. In the present embodiment, the income is the catch (weight) of the corbiculae which the fishing boat  4  collects. 
         [0034]    The income distribution map  56  expresses distribution of the income in the lake A in a planar view. The income distribution map  56  according to the present embodiment classifies spots in the lake A depending on to an income level. The income level is divided into four levels indicated by an open circle, a triangle, a square and a filled circle in descending order of the income at each spot in the lake A. 
         [0035]    For example, many squares and filled circles are illustrated in a spot where the river B or the river C joins the lake A. This shows that the fishing boat  4  collects a large catch of the corbiculae at the spot, namely that the fishing boat  4  is at anchor for a long time at the spot. 
         [0036]    On the other hand, many open circles and triangles illustrated in a spot of the north coast of the lake A. This shows that the fishing boat  4  collects a small catch of corbiculae in the spot, namely that the fishing boat  4  is at anchor for a short time at the spot. 
         [0037]    A fuel consumption map  57  is explained using  FIG. 5 . 
         [0038]      FIG. 5  schematically shows the fuel consumption map  57 . 
         [0039]    The fuel consumption map  57  expresses, for example, distribution of fuel consumption of the operating fishing boat  4 . 
         [0040]    The fuel consumption map  57  expresses the distribution of fuel consumption of the operating fishing boat  4  in a planar view. The fuel consumption map  57  according to the present embodiment classifies anchor spots (collection spots) in the lake A depending on a fuel consumption level. The fuel consumption level is divided into four levels indicated by an open circle, a triangle, a square and a filled circle in descending order of the fuel consumption of the fishing boat  4  operating in the lake A. 
         [0041]    For example, many open circles and triangles are illustrated in a spot near a fishing port A in the lake A. This shows that the fishing boat  4  operates with small fuel consumption in the spot. On the other hand, many squares and filled circles illustrated in a spot far the fishing port A. This shows the fishing boat  4  operates with large fuel consumption in the spot. 
         [0042]    An income-expenditure distribution map  58  is explained using  FIG. 6 . 
         [0043]      FIG. 6  schematically shows the income-expenditure distribution map  58 . 
         [0044]    The income-expenditure distribution map  58  expresses, for example, distribution of income and expenditure of the lake A. The income and expenditure indicates the sum of income and expenditure in the fishery production. In the present embodiment, the income is the catch of corbiculae by the fishing boat  4 . The expenditure is the fuel consumption of the fishing boat  4 . 
         [0045]    In the income-expenditure distribution map  58 , the catch and the fuel consumption are converted into the market price in order to sum up the income and the expenditure. 
         [0046]    The income-expenditure distribution map  58  expresses the distribution of the income and the expenditure of the lake A in a planar view. The income-expenditure distribution map  58  according to the present embodiment classifies spots in the lake A depending on income-expenditure level. The income-expenditure level is divided into four levels indicated by A, B, C and D in descending order of a ratio of the income to the expenditure. In the income-expenditure distribution map  58 , the income-expenditure level of each spot is expressed by shading. 
         [0047]    A flow of income distribution acquisition control S 100  is explained using  FIG. 7 .  FIG. 7  shows the flow of the income distribution acquisition control S 100  using a flowchart. 
         [0048]    In the income distribution acquisition control S 100 , the above-mentioned collection spot distribution map  55  and income distribution map  56  are acquired based on operation result of the fishing boat  4  in the lake A in the fishing season. 
         [0049]    In a step S 110  and a step S 120 , the above-mentioned collection spot distribution map  55  is acquired. 
         [0050]    In the step S 110 , the remote server  5  acquires the operating day and position of the fishing boat  4 . Specifically, the remote server  5  acquires an average position of the fishing ship  4  in a predetermined period of the operating day. The remote server  5  considers a spot having most average positions in acquired average positions of the fishing ship  4  as a collection spot in the operation. 
         [0051]    In the step S 120 , the remote server  5  converts anchor time at the collection spot acquired in the step S 110  into the anchor time level and then plots the anchor time level on the collection spot distribution map  55 . 
         [0052]    In a step S 130  and a step S 140 , the income distribution map  56  is acquired. 
         [0053]    In the step S 130 , the remote server  5  acquires the catch of corbiculae in the operating day. Specifically, the remote server  5  acquires the catch (weight) of corbiculae input by an operator after the operation. 
         [0054]    In the present embodiment, the weight is not limited as a unit of the catch of corbiculae inputted by the operator after the operation. For example, the catch of corbiculae may be converted into the market price. 
         [0055]    In the step S 140 , the remote server  5  converts the catch of corbiculae acquired in the S 130  into the income level and then plots the income-expenditure level at the collection spot acquired in the S 110  of the income distribution map  56 . 
         [0056]    In a step S 150  and a step S 160 , the fuel consumption map  57  is acquired. 
         [0057]    In the step S 150 , the remote server  5  acquires the operating day, the position and the fuel consumption of the fishing boat  4 . Specifically, the remote server  5  acquires the fuel consumption at the anchor spot of the operating day. 
         [0058]    In the step S 160 , the remote server  5  converts the fuel consumption acquired in the S 150  into the fuel consumption level at the anchor spot and then plots the fuel consumption level on the fuel consumption map  57 . 
         [0059]    The remote server  5  repeats the steps S 110  to S 160  with respect to each operating day and each fishing season. 
         [0060]    In step S 170 , the remote server  5  makes the above-mentioned income-expenditure distribution map  58  based on the collection spot distribution map  55 , the income distribution map  56  and the fuel consumption map  57 . 
         [0061]    In this way, the remote server  5  can make the collection spot distribution map  55  and the income distribution map  56  of the lake A. The collection spot distribution map  55  and the income distribution map  56  is provided for users and is used for, for example, a fishery plan of the lake A of next year and beyond. 
         [0062]    Effects of the remote server system  100  and the income distribution acquisition control S 100  are explained. 
         [0063]    The remote server system  100  and the income distribution acquisition control S 100  make it possible to acquire income and operating time at each spot on each operating day, thus enabling to acquire the income distribution of the lake A. 
         [0064]    The present invention is not limited to acquire the income distribution of the lake A of the present embodiment. For example, instantaneous fuel consumption of the fishing boat  4  may be acquired and an income-expenditure distribution map may be made such that the income is the catch of corbiculae and the expense is the instantaneous fuel consumption. An income rate map may be made, expressing the income for investment such that the income is the catch of corbiculae and the expense is the instantaneous fuel consumption. 
         [0065]    The present invention is not limited to acquire the collection spot distribution and the income distribution of the lake A focusing on one fishing boat  4  of the present embodiment. For example, the collection spot distribution and the income distribution of the lake A are acquired focusing on a plurality of fishing boat  4  belonging to a fisheries union or the like.
