DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Common constituent elements in the drawings are assigned the same reference numerals. Note that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to an accurate scale for the sake of convenience of explanation.

[0032] First, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 , the basic structure of the fishing information management system 100 will be described.Figure 1 The structure of a fishing information management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the fishing information management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is composed of a fishing reel 10, a fishing rod 20, a hook assembly 30, a fishing information processing device 40, and an external device 50.

[0034] The fishing reel 10, like a general fishing reel, can perform the following operations.

[0035] The fishing line 28 is wound around the spool 11, and the state in which the fishing line 28 can be released from the spool 11 and the state in which the fishing line 28 cannot be released from the spool 11 are switched, and if a tension of a set value or more is applied to the fishing line 28, the spool 11 idles (trolling function), and the set value of the above-mentioned tension is set as a threshold value. In addition, the braking force for preventing backlash when the rod is jerked is adjusted (only two-axis type). The fishing reel 10 according to the present embodiment can detect the above-mentioned operations and states and transmit them to the information processing device 40. Details will be described later.

[0036] The fishing rod 20, like a general fishing rod, holds the fishing reel 10 and guides the fishing line 28. The user can manipulate the fishing line 28 as needed by operating the fishing rod 20. The fishing rod 20 according to the present embodiment can detect some or all of the operations and states of the fishing rod 20 and transmit them to the information processing device 40. Details will be described later.

[0037] The hook assembly 30 is attached to one end of the fishing line 28 and has a hook 29 for making a fish take the bait. In the present embodiment, the hook 29 is attached inside a lure (artificial bait) 32. In addition, various hook assemblies are used according to the targeted fish and the fishing method, and a float, a sinker, a bait container, a balance, etc. are used as needed, but are not limited thereto.

[0038] In the present embodiment, a part of the hook assembly is provided with a motion detection unit such as an acceleration sensor, and the motion of the lure 32 is transmitted to the information processing device 40. As needed, the motion detection unit is waterproofed together with a power source, a storage unit, a communication unit, and is enclosed in a part of the hook assembly.

[0039] Hereinafter, the reel 10, the fishing rod 20, and the hook assembly 30 are collectively referred to as the apparatus. In addition, the information processing device 40 accumulates detection results from each element constituting the apparatus, and creates an operation information list that collects operation information at the time of each start of the fishing line release. Details will be described later. The information processing device 40 can be, for example, a portable information terminal (smartphone) or the like. Also, the fishing information processing device 10 can be assembled in the fishing reel 1 or the fishing rod 20, and constitute a part of them. Alternatively, a part of the fishing information processing device 10 can be assembled in the fishing reel 1 or the fishing rod 20. A part or all of the information processing device 40 can also be in a server (cloud) on the Internet.

[0040] The external device 50 is a device for acquiring information related to fishing that cannot be acquired by the apparatus, and is capable of transmitting various information to the information processing device 40 by having a transmission unit. The information processing device 40 is capable of associating the received information with the operation information list. In addition, more specifically, the external device 50 can be configured as a camera 51, a hook assembly recognition device 52, an event recording device 53, an environmental sensor 54, an information terminal 55, a fish finder 56, or the like, but is not limited thereto. The external device 50 can be configured in the same device as the information processing device 40, or can be a device that can be mounted on the reel 10 or the fishing rod 20.

[0041] Figure 2 is a diagram showing the mechanical component structure of the reel 10, Figure 2 (a) of FIG. 1 shows a case where a type called a dual axle reel is used as the reel 10, Figure 2 (b) of FIG. 1 shows a case where a type called a spinning reel is used. First, the dual axle reel 10A will be described.

[0042] The spool 11A is capable of winding the fishing line 28, and if it is rotated in the forward direction by the operation unit 14A, it is capable of winding the fishing line 28. The clutch 12 is capable of selecting connection / release of power transmission to the operation unit 14A. In the connected state, winding based on the operation unit 14A is possible. In the open state, the spool 11A is capable of freely rotating in the forward and reverse directions, and the fishing line 28 is capable of being released.

[0043] The drag device 13 is capable of freewheeling the spool 11 when a load of a set tension or more is applied to the fishing line 28. In addition, the operation unit 14A is configured as a handle, for example, and transmits a user's rotation operation to the spool 11A through a transmission mechanism such as a gear, and is capable of rotating the spool 11A in the forward direction. In addition, the operation unit 14 can also be a combination of an operation member such as a lever and a power source such as a motor. In addition, the brake device 15 is capable of applying a braking force to the spool. Thereby, kickback at the time of rod casting is suppressed. The braking force can be set by the brake force setting unit 151.

[0044] Next, the reel 10B will be described. The spool 1 IB is fixed to the reel body via the drag device 13B. The drag device 13B enables the spool 1 IB to idle when a load above a set tension is applied to the fishing line 28. The fishing line 28 is guided by the line guide 12B and is wound around the spool 1 IB by the line guide 12B rotating around the spool 1 IB. The line guide 12B is held at the front end of a rotor supported so as to be able to rotate with respect to the reel body, and the guidance of the fishing line 28 is switched by opening and closing of the line arm. When the line arm is in the open state, winding is not possible and the fishing line 28 can be paid out. When the line arm is in the closed state, winding is possible and the fishing line 28 cannot be paid out. The operation portion 14B is configured as a handle, for example, and transmits the rotational operation of the user to the rotor via a gear or the like transmission mechanism, so that the line guide 12B can be caused to rotate in the forward direction.

[0045] Figure 3 is a diagram showing the basic structure of the reel 10. The reel 10 has a detection portion 19 for detecting various operations of the user, the state of the reel. The detection result is transmitted to the arithmetic portion 16, an arithmetic process is performed as necessary, temporarily saved in the storage portion 18, and transmitted to the information processing device 40 via the communication portion 17. Depending on the detected information, the structure, it is also possible to transmit the detection result directly from the detection portion 19 to the information processing device 40.

[0046] As the detection portion 19, the following structures can be given. Due to limitations in cost, size, and the like, a part thereof can be omitted. In addition, the tension detection portion 191 detects the tension acting on the fishing line 28. This can be realized by a publicly known technique of detecting the force acting on the rotational shaft of the pulley guiding the fishing line 28, or the like, using a strain sensor.

[0047] The spool rotation detection portion 192 detects the rotation of the spool 1 1. This can be realized by a publicly known unit such as an incremental type rotation sensor using a photo interrupter, a magnetic sensor. In order to realize smooth rotation of the spool 1 1, a non-contact type rotation sensor is preferable. The winding operation detection portion 193 detects the rotation of the operation portion 14. This is realized by mounting a rotation sensor on the operation portion 14 or a gear or the like rotating in conjunction therewith. This can be realized by a publicly known unit such as an incremental type rotation sensor using a photo interrupter, a magnetic sensor. In order to realize smooth rotation of the operation portion 14, a non-contact type rotation sensor is preferable. By obtaining the difference between the winding operation detection portion 193 and the spool rotation detection portion 192, the amount of rotation idling by the drag device 13 can be calculated.

[0048] The castability state detection section 194 detects whether or not the fishing line 28 can be cast from the reel 10. In the example of the dual shaft reel 10A described above, this can be achieved by detecting the connection state of the clutch 12. A limit sensor or the like can be installed on a part of the member that operates the clutch. In the example of the spinning reel 10B, a limit sensor or the like can be installed on a part of the member that operates the arbor.

[0049] The setting drag force detection section 195 detects the setting tension that is the threshold value for the idling of the spool 11. This can be achieved by detecting the applied force to the friction member in the drag device by a pressure sensor or the like.

[0050] The setting brake force detection section 196 detects the setting value of the brake force for back lash suppression. This can be achieved by providing a bulk resistance or the like in the brake force setting section 151. In a brake device of the type in which the brake force is set by a computer, the setting brake force detection section 196 can be achieved by obtaining the command value to the brake device.

[0051] The values obtained by the detection sections 19 described above are operated by the operation section 16 as necessary, whereby the state and operation information of the reel 10 can be obtained or calculated. More specifically, the tension applied to the fishing line, the winding amount of the fishing line, the cast amount of the drag device, the setting drag force, the castability state, and the setting value of the brake force are obtained. Furthermore, the time differential values thereof, i.e., the winding speed and the tension change amount can also be calculated.

[0052] Next, the basic structural elements of the fishing rod 20 will be described in detail. Figure 4 The fishing rod 20 has a detection section 21 for detecting various operations of the user, the state of the fishing rod 20. The detection results are sent to the operation section 16, operated as necessary, temporarily stored in the storage section 18, and then sent to the information processing device 40 via the communication section 17. Alternatively, the operation section 16, the communication section 17, and the storage section 18 at this time can be shared with the reel 10 by using a wired connection or the like, or can be dedicated to the fishing rod 20. They can be disposed in the reel 10 or on the fishing rod 20.

[0053] As for the detection section 21, the following will be exemplified. Some of them can be omitted depending on the cost, size, and the like. The flex detection section 211 detects the flex (bend) of the fishing rod 20. This can be achieved by providing a strain sensor on each part of the fishing rod 20.

[0054] The orientation detection section 212 can detect the orientation in which the fishing rod 20 is directed by detecting the direction of the geomagnetism. The acceleration detection section 213 detects the acceleration of the fishing rod 20 in the direction of translation. This can be achieved by using a publicly known acceleration sensor of the piezoresistive type, electrostatic capacity detection type, or the like.

[0055] The angular velocity detection section 214 detects the angular velocity (speed of the direction of rotation) of the fishing rod 20. This can be achieved by a gyroscope sensor known as a means using the frequency change of a piezoelectric element that detects vibration, or the like.

[0056] In addition, by using a sensor called a nine-axis motion sensor that detects the orientation, acceleration, and angular velocity of each of the three axes in the vertical direction, the orientation detection section 212, the acceleration detection section 213, and the angular velocity detection section 214 can be formed. Hereinafter, these will be referred to as motion sensors. By performing arithmetic processing on the detection results of these, the posture and the motion of the fishing rod 20 can be obtained. In addition, the motion sensors can also be disposed in the reel 10.

[0057] Next, the processing method of the results detected by the detection sections 19 and 21 will be described. Normally, during fishing, the user repeatedly performs the casting and the retrieval of the hook assembly in the following order.(1) The clutch or the line winding arm is operated so that the fishing line 28 becomes a state in which it can be cast.(2) The hook assembly is cast by swinging the rod, or the fishing line 28 is cast by dropping the hook assembly by the weight of the sinker.(3) After the hook assembly reaches a predetermined place, the state in which the fishing line 28 can be wound (cannot be cast) is obtained by the reverse operation of (1).(4) The bait is made to swim by operating the operation unit 14, or is left as it is, and the like, and the fish is waited for to bite the bait by the unit corresponding to the type of fish and the fishing method.(5) After the fish is hooked, or after a predetermined time has elapsed, the fishing line 28 is wound by operating the operation unit 14, and thus the hook assembly is retrieved.(6) After the winding is completed, the fish is retrieved as necessary, or the hook and the bait are replaced, and the process returns to 1 again.

[0058] Therefore, if the operation information accumulated in the information processing device 40 is listed each time the hook assembly is cast (each time the casting of the fishing line is started), the user can easily grasp this, and this is convenient. In the embodiment of the present application, this operation information can be displayed in three modes, a list display state, a detailed display state, and a statistical information display state.

[0059] In the list display state, a list display of the detection results is performed. Thus, an index function for selecting detailed information, and an overview of all the data can be performed. In addition, in the detailed display state, the detailed contents of each cast can be displayed. Thus, the detailed events and the state in the cast can be grasped. Furthermore, in the statistical information display state, the temporal change of each data, and the correlation of the data with each other can be displayed. Thus, the long-term tendency of each item can be grasped. Figure 5 The display images of each mode are shown. The user can switch the respective display modes by operating the operation section 35.

[0060] The method of tabulating the detection results obtained by the detection sections 19, 21 at each time the hook assembly is cast will be described. By detecting the start of casting of the hook assembly, the detection results can be divided at each time of casting.

[0061] First, the start of casting detection method of the hook assembly will be described. In the case of the dual axle reel 10A, by detecting that the clutch 12 has changed from the engaged state to the disengaged state by the casting possible state detection section 194, the above (1) can be recognized. Thereafter, by detecting the start of rotation of the spool 11A by the spool rotation detection section 192, the above (2) can be recognized.

[0062] Further, by detecting that the clutch 12 has changed from the disengaged state to the engaged state by the casting state detection section 194, the above (3) can be recognized. In the case where these three are successively generated, it can be considered that the start of casting of the fishing line 28 has been detected.

[0063] In other methods, after the casting length of the fishing line becomes equal to or less than a prescribed value, if the start of rotation of the spool 3 is detected, it can be considered that the start of casting of the fishing line has been detected. In this method, it is necessary to accurately calculate the casting length of the fishing line, on the other hand, the casting of the fishing line can be detected without using the casting state detection section 194.

[0064] In the case of the spinning reel 10B, the spool 11B does not rotate when the fishing line 31 is cast. Therefore, in the detection section within the reel 10B, it is difficult to recognize this (2). However, by the casting possible state detection section 194, it is detected that the binding member has become the open state, whereby this (1) is recognized, and by detecting that the binding member has become the closed state thereafter, this (3) is recognized. Thus, it can be considered that the start of casting of the fishing line 28 has been detected.

[0065] Further, various detection results are output along with the operation of the apparatus by the detection section 19 of the reel 10 and the detection section 21 of the rod 20. The output results are operated as necessary, whereby operation information is obtained. As examples of the operation information, there are the casting length of the fishing line, the bending of the rod, the winding speed based on the operation unit, the tension of the fishing line, etc., which are shown in Figure 6 .

[0066] As examples of other operation information, there are the casting length of the fishing line of the drag device, the casting possible state of the fishing line, the drag setting force, the brake force setting value of the brake device, the angle of elevation of the rod, the translation speed, the rotation speed, etc.

[0067] The obtained operation information is divided at each timing of detection of casting by the fishing line casting detection section 22. By arranging these in order, the operation information list can be obtained. Figure 7An example of a list display made by extracting operation information at the start of each cast is shown. In addition, in the list display state, all of the acquired data of the various kinds can be displayed, or a part of the items can be set to be non-displayed for improved visibility. In addition, the minimum value, maximum value, average value, etc. of each item can be displayed. In addition, all of the acquired cast data can be displayed at a glance, or the input data acquired within a certain period of time, such as every day or every month, can be displayed at a glance. If cast data to be displayed in detail is selected from this state, it is possible to shift to a detailed display mode. In addition, if the kind of data to be displayed statistically is selected, it is possible to shift to a statistical display mode.

[0068] Next, with reference to Figure 8 , a detailed display state will be described. Figure 8 An example of a detailed display related to one input is shown. Here, all of the data acquired or calculated related to fishing can be displayed. In this example, they are displayed in five tabs. The tab of the situation displays information related to the place where fishing is being done, the weather. In addition to the detection sections 19, 21 provided on the equipment, environmental information such as the temperature, humidity, etc. obtained from the environmental sensor 54, position information obtained using the information terminal, weather information, etc. can be displayed. In addition, the user can directly input to the information processing device 40.

[0069] In the tab of the equipment information, information related to the equipment used is displayed. The information on the equipment can be manually input by the user to the information processing device 40, or it can be acquired by attaching an identification unit such as an RFID tag to each equipment, and reading this information with the hook assembly identification device 52.

[0070] In the tab of the rod swing, the state of the equipment from the start of the input of the hook assembly to the end of the input of the hook assembly (the above (1) to (3)), information related to the operation of the user is displayed. The speed, the temporal change in the position of the fishing line, the spool, the set braking force of the braking device 15 are displayed. The motion of the fishing rod 20 at the time of casting (angular velocity, change in the angle of elevation) can also be displayed. In addition, in the case where the reel wheel 10B is used as the reel 10, since the spool 11B does not rotate at the time of the input of the hook assembly, it is considered that the data that can be acquired becomes less, but at this time, the display of the tab of the rod swing can also be omitted.

[0071] The tab of the retrieval displays the state of the equipment from the end of the input of the hook assembly to the end of the recovery of the hook assembly (the above (4), (5)), information related to the operation of the user. The speed, the temporal change in the position of the fishing line, the spool, the temporal change in the tension, whether or not a backlash is generated are displayed.

[0072] In addition, in the case where the Figure 8In this case, a hit score that evaluates the likelihood of the fish biting the hook assembly is displayed. When the fish bites the hook assembly, changes such as tension acting, the reel being reversed by excessive tension through the drag device, the rod bending, and the like occur. In addition, in most cases, in response to the fish's pull, the user performs an operation of standing up the rod, winding the reel, an operation of taking a picture of the hooked fish, and the like. By detecting and calculating these changes, a hit score corresponding to the likelihood of the fish biting the hook assembly can be calculated. By displaying this hit score value in synchronization with the change in the line length or the speed change, the conditions of the fishing result can be recorded. The retrieval speed, the hit score, if displayed as a graph taking time on the horizontal axis, the change over time can be grasped. If displayed as a graph taking the line length on the horizontal axis, the change corresponding to the position of the hook assembly can be grasped.

[0073] Since the reaction when the fish bites the hook assembly has various kinds, it is not easy to calculate the hit score with high precision. Therefore, in the label of the hit score, by collecting and displaying information that can be a basis for calculation, the user himself / herself can make a judgment. In this example, the amount of drag pay-out, the presence or absence of rod operation, the image information taken, the maximum value of the calculated hit score, and the like are displayed. In addition, a free entry column of the user can be provided.

[0074] Next, the details of the statistical information display state will be described. In the statistical information display state, in order to efficiently grasp the data obtained and calculated visually, the data is arranged into a graph and displayed. In the case of being represented in a graph, in the present embodiment, the display portion of the information processing device 40 such as a smartphone is used, and therefore by performing animation display, stereoscopic display, a 3-axis graph can also be used. However, since these graphs are complex to display, it is not necessarily easy to grasp the data, but in this case, in order to easily grasp the data, the number of items displayed in the graph can be made to be 2 axes.

[0075] On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the detection portions 19, 21, about 10 kinds of sensors are used, but are not limited thereto. In addition, the information calculated from their combinations, the information that can be obtained from external devices is also large. In order to graph display, the combination method of the number of items of 2 axes selected from among these becomes large. Among them, there can be contents that are useful for the user and contents that are relatively less important. Therefore, it is considered that if the items displayed in the graph are selected as described below, they become items that are easy for the user to find useful.

[0076] First, each of the data obtained or calculated is classified into the following 4.

[0077] (a) Operation information: information related to the operation of the apparatus

[0078] (b) Status information: information related to the status of the fishing being performed

[0079] (c) fish information: information related to fish

[0080] (d) skill information: information related to skill of handling fishing tackle

[0081] Operation information is information determined by operation performed by the user himself or herself. Specifically, information related to the label of the apparatus information, information related to the setting of the brake, information related to the retrieval speed, and the like can be cited.

[0082] Condition information is information related to the use environment in which fishing is performed. Specifically, information related to the condition label can be cited.

[0083] Fish information is information related to the phenomenon generated when the fish bites the hook. The user's behavior at the time of the reaction of the fish can also be included. More specifically, information related to the hit score and the hit score value calculated therefrom can be cited. In order to calculate the hit score value with high reliability, many elements are required, but by operating them and calculating as one value, it is convenient when displayed as a graph.

[0084] Skill information is information related to the skill of handling fishing tackle. It is information determined according to the proficiency of the user, and more specifically, information related to the flight distance, information related to the generation of backlash, information related to the time of winding and unwinding the hand, and the like.

[0085] In addition, the above-described classification method classifies according to the role, meaning of the data, and thus even if the same physical quantity, the classification place can change according to the condition, interpretation. For example, regarding the unwinding distance of the fishing line, in the case of scattering the hook assembly to a distant place, the arrival flight distance varies according to the proficiency, and thus becomes skill information. In the case of winding up the hook assembly fallen to the sea bottom to a certain depth, the operation proficiency is not required, and thus it is suitable to be classified as operation information.

[0086] For the fisherman, in order to display more useful information, the two axes constituting the graph can be selected as follows.

[0087] Vertical axis: arbitrary information among skill information, fish information

[0088] Horizontal axis: arbitrary information among condition information (including change over time), operation information

[0089] Further, operation information such as the kind of apparatus, condition information such as the fishing place can also be displayed on the graph as different from the plotting point.

[0090] By thus narrowing down the two axes of the graph to be displayed, the graph useful for the user can be efficiently selected. Next, with reference to Figures 9 to 12Specific examples thereof will be described.

[0091] Figure 9 An example in which the horizontal axis indicates time and the vertical axis indicates skill information is shown. (1) The vertical axis indicates the flight distance, (2) indicates the backlash, and (3) indicates the hand winding time. Thus, the user can grasp the change in each skill information over time. In a case where the display unit of the time axis is set to seconds or minutes, the change in skill information over one fishing session can be grasped. In this case, the flight distance of each cast can be displayed on the vertical axis.

[0092] In a case where the display unit of the time axis is set to days or months, the change in skill information over a long period can be grasped. In this case, the maximum flight distance over a certain period (for example, one day) can be displayed on the vertical axis.

[0093] Further, skill information that can be used includes the total value of the flight distance, the maximum speed of the reel, and the like, but is not intended to be limited thereto. In this way, by displaying time on the horizontal axis and displaying skill information on the vertical axis, the user can feel a sense of achievement or be motivated to improve.

[0094] In an example of Figure 10 , the horizontal axis indicates time as condition information, and the vertical axis indicates the hit score as fish information. Thus, the user can grasp the change in fishing results over time. In addition, by changing the plotted points for each fishing site or each used equipment, information that is more helpful for selection for improving fishing results can be displayed. In addition to this, as condition information that can be used for the horizontal axis, there are position information (fishing site information), air temperature, water temperature, humidity, wind power, tide, and the like, but is not limited thereto. In this way, by displaying condition information on the horizontal axis and displaying fish information on the vertical axis, it is helpful to select a condition in which fishing results are more easily improved.

[0095] Next, in an example of Figure 11 , the horizontal axis indicates the set value of the braking force as operation information, and the vertical axis indicates the flight distance of the hook assembly as skill information. Thus, the user can statistically grasp the optimal braking force for causing the hook assembly to fly away far. If the plotted points are changed for each equipment, the optimization of the braking force can be accurately performed in a wider condition.

[0096] As other operation information that can be used, there are the used equipment, the length of the cast fishing line, the set drag force, and the like. In addition to this, as skill information that can be used, there are the total value of the flight distance, the maximum speed of the reel, the occurrence rate of the backlash, the hand winding time, and the like. In this way, by displaying operation information on the horizontal axis and displaying skill information on the vertical axis, it is helpful to more effectively operate the fishing tackle.

[0097] In an example of Figure 12In the example, the horizontal axis represents the retrieval speed as operational information, and the vertical axis represents the hit score as fish bite information. This allows users to determine the retrieval speed at which fish are most likely to be caught. The optimal retrieval speed for each bait can also be determined by changing the plot point for each bait. Other usable operational information includes the equipment used, the length of the released line, and the set drag force. Thus, displaying operational information on the horizontal axis and fish bite information on the vertical axis facilitates operations that more easily improve fishing results.

[0098] In the statistical display state of the embodiments of the present invention, by selecting the two items used for graph display from the options described above, it is possible to efficiently select and display information that is useful to the user.
