System and method for displaying surf information to a user

摘要

This disclosure relates to a system configured to display current surf information to a user on a device worn by the user, track physical surfing activity of the user across multiple surf sessions, and/or alert the user when current surf conditions match previously highly rated surf conditions and/or any user selected criteria based on surf/weather forecast data. The system may comprise a first device (a watch) worn by the user, a second device (the user's smartphone) associated with the user but physically separate and unconnected from the first device, external resources, and/or other components.

1. A method for displaying surf information to a user via a user interface carried by a first device worn by the user, the method comprising:
obtaining information related to a desired physical, geographic surf location of the user with a second device, the second device being physically separate and unconnected from the first device, and being associated with the user; obtaining, with the second device, surf information for the desired surf location of the user, wherein the surf information for the desired surf location is regularly obtained from one or more external sources of information accessed via a wireless communication network such that the obtained surf information reflects substantially current surf information for the desired surf location of the user; wherein the surf information includes:
crowd sourced information related to current physical observable surf conditions; andcurrent oceanic conditions conveyed by oceanic sensor output signals; wirelessly communicating the obtained surf information to the first device responsive to the first device being in proximity to the second device to facilitate communication between the first device and the second device; and displaying the communicated surf information to the user via the user interface carried by the first device such that the crowd sourced information related to current physical observable surf conditions and the current oceanic conditions conveyed by oceanic sensor output signals are displayed to the user in separate fields of a single view of the user interface carried by the first device.
