[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Addressing the technical problems of the background technology: anglers need to concentrate for extended periods to observe float 2, making it difficult to effectively monitor subtle changes in multiple fishing rods. This leads to fatigue, distraction, or inadequate monitoring, causing them to miss the optimal time to set the hook, especially in multi-rod fishing scenarios where the monitoring difficulty and risk of omissions significantly increase. This invention provides an intelligent fishing system that enables real-time signal interaction between the system and float 2 via a remote control device, achieving automated monitoring and immediate alarm of float status. An alarm signal is generated immediately upon float 2 malfunctioning, alerting the angler. Simultaneously, the system supports efficient management in multi-rod fishing scenarios.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a logical structure diagram of an embodiment of the intelligent fishing system provided by the present invention. The intelligent fishing system of this embodiment includes at least one float 2 and a remote control device 1. The remote control device 1 includes a control unit 11 and a first communication unit. The float 2 includes a second communication unit 211 that interacts with the first communication unit 12 in real time. The control unit 11 is connected to the second communication unit and is used to detect whether the real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit 12 and the second communication unit 211 is interrupted. If so, an alarm signal is generated.

[0040] Regarding the above embodiments, it should be noted that the remote control device 1 has a built-in control unit 11 and a first communication unit 12, while each float 2 is equipped with a second communication unit 211 that can exchange signals with the first communication unit 12 of the remote control device 1 in real time. This implements an instant feedback mechanism: the control unit 11 continuously monitors the stability of the communication connection with the float 2. Once a fish bites the hook and drags the float 2 into the water, causing the communication link between the two to be interrupted due to physical obstruction (such as the conductivity of water and signal attenuation), the control unit 11 will immediately recognize this change and trigger an alarm signal.

[0041] Furthermore, considering that many fishing enthusiasts are skilled at using multiple rods, this system is equally capable of handling this scenario. By equipping each fishing rod with a float 2 and managing them all through a remote control device 1, anglers can easily monitor the movement of all rods. Even if multiple floats 2 simultaneously experience signal interruptions, they can quickly react via the alarm indication from the remote control device 1, greatly enhancing the enjoyment and efficiency of fishing. Simultaneously, each fishing rod can be equipped with its own float 2 and connected to its dedicated remote control device 1.

[0042] Automatic monitoring of the float 2's communication is achieved through real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit 12 and the second communication unit 211. The control unit 11, connected to the first communication unit 12, is responsible for detecting the continuity of signal interaction between the two. Once a signal interruption is detected, it indicates that the float 2 may be malfunctioning, such as being dragged away by a fish, and the system quickly generates an alarm signal. This method not only reduces the burden on anglers who need to concentrate on observing the float 2 for extended periods but also ensures that anglers can quickly respond to changes in the float 2 through an instant feedback mechanism, thus avoiding missing the optimal time to set the hook.

[0043] Figure 2 This is a logical structure diagram of a second embodiment of the intelligent fishing system provided by the present invention. The intelligent fishing system of this embodiment includes at least one float 2 and a remote control device 1. The remote control device 1 includes a control unit 11 and a first communication unit 12. The float 2 includes a second communication unit 211 that interacts with the first communication unit 12 in real time.

[0044] The control unit 11 is connected to the first communication signal and is used to detect whether the real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit 12 and the second communication unit 211 is interrupted. If so, an alarm signal is generated.

[0045] Figure 3 This is a logical structure diagram of the second embodiment of the intelligent fishing system of the present invention. In this embodiment, the float 2 includes an upper float 21 and a lower float 22. The upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are detachably connected. The lower float 22 includes a hollow structure for providing buoyancy to the upper float 21. The second communication unit 211 is disposed in the upper float 21.

[0046] Specifically, float 2 consists of two parts: an upper float 21 and a lower float 22, which are detachably connected for flexible combination. This detachable connection allows for the replacement of the lower half with different sizes to accommodate baits of varying weights, enabling personalized fishing setups. The lower float 22 can be hollow, which not only reduces overall weight but also provides sufficient buoyancy for the upper float 21, ensuring stable buoyancy of float 2 in the water. Furthermore, float 2 features a self-balancing design; a counterweight structure at the bottom of the lower float 22 allows float 2 to automatically adjust its posture in the water to maintain balance. The top of float 2 is designed with a swing amplitude of less than 30 degrees, effectively preventing it from being completely submerged and ensuring uninterrupted communication with the remote control device 1. To further enhance fishing convenience, float 2 is connected to the fishing line using a universal joint connection. This design not only reduces the possibility of rope tangling but also improves flexibility and smoothness during fishing.

[0047] A second communication unit 211 is installed in the float 21, which maintains real-time signal interaction with the first communication unit 12 in the remote control device 1. The remote control device 1 has a built-in control unit 11, which continuously monitors the communication status with the float 2 through the first communication unit 12. Once an interruption in signal interaction is detected, such as when the float 2 is dragged into the water due to a fish biting the hook and thus blocking the signal, the control unit 11 will immediately trigger an alarm signal to promptly remind the angler to take action.

[0048] Furthermore, the remote control device 1 also includes an alarm unit 13. The alarm unit 13 is connected to the control unit 11 and is used to generate alarm prompt information when receiving an alarm signal. The alarm prompt information includes one or more of the following: sound information, light information, and vibration information.

[0049] Specifically, the remote control device 1 includes an alarm unit 13. The alarm unit 13 is connected to the control unit 11, and once it receives an alarm signal from the control unit 11, it will immediately trigger the corresponding alarm prompt information. These alarm prompt information are designed to be both intuitive and diverse, including but not limited to sound information, light information, and vibration information, which can be used individually or in combination to meet the personalized needs of different anglers.

[0050] Under normal operating conditions, when the remote control device 1 successfully receives the real-time signal from the float 2, it indicates that the float 2 is in a stable floating state, and no alarm information will be generated. However, once the float 2 is hooked by a fish and dragged into the water, causing the remote control device 1 to fail to receive the signal from the float 2, the system will automatically determine this as an abnormal situation and immediately trigger the alarm unit 13. It is understandable that the remote control device 1 can also send a signal to the float 2. Anglers can choose the appropriate alarm method based on personal preference and the current environment. For example, in a quiet fishing environment, an audible alarm may be more suitable, as it can quickly attract the angler's attention with a loud alarm sound; while in dimly lit or discreet situations, a light alarm or vibration alarm may be more appropriate, as they can effectively remind the angler of changes in the float 2's status without disturbing the surrounding environment.

[0051] Furthermore, the remote control device 1 also includes a start unit 14; the start unit 14 is connected to the control unit 11 and is used to receive user input to generate a start signal; the first communication unit 12 is also used to send the start signal to the second communication unit 211 under the control of the control unit 11; the float 2 device includes a prompt unit 213, the prompt unit 213 is connected to the second communication unit 211 and is used to generate prompt information when receiving the start signal.

[0052] Specifically, the activation unit 14 is connected to the control unit 11 and is responsible for receiving input commands from the user and generating an activation signal accordingly. This design gives anglers the ability to remotely control the float 2 via the remote control device 1. Specifically, the activation signal can be a signal to activate the prompting device. When the activation unit 14 receives the user's activation command, it immediately transmits the generated activation signal to the control unit 11. Subsequently, the first communication unit 12 is activated, responsible for accurately sending the activation signal to the second communication unit 211 on the float 2. The float 2 device internally includes a prompting unit 213 connected to the second communication unit 211. Once it receives the activation signal from the remote control device 1, the prompting unit 213 will respond quickly and generate corresponding prompt information. This design is not limited to sound or light prompts; it can also be customized with diverse prompting methods to meet the needs of different fishing scenarios.

[0053] In particular, to enhance the convenience and safety of night fishing, a night light is specially installed on float 2. This night light can be remotely controlled via the activation unit 14 of the remote control device 1, enabling the light-emitting element to be turned on and off. Anglers can simply press a button to adjust the brightness and flashing mode of the night light according to their needs, ensuring clear observation of the dynamic changes of float 2 even at night. Simultaneously, the night light also possesses environmental adaptability. Through built-in sensors, it can sense changes in the ambient light intensity and color, and automatically adjust its own brightness and flashing mode accordingly, ensuring the best visual experience for anglers under any nighttime conditions.

[0054] Furthermore, the second communication unit 211 includes a signal transmitting module 2111, which is connected to the first communication unit 12 and is used to generate a preset number of transmission signals within a fixed duration. The first communication unit 12 includes a signal receiving module 121, which is connected to the second communication unit 211 and is used to receive the transmission signals sent by the first communication unit 12. The control unit 11 detects whether the preset number of transmission signals has been received within a fixed duration; if not, it generates an alarm signal. 。 The fixed-duration transmission of a preset number of signals includes: transmitting 5 signals every 1 second.

[0055] Specifically, the first communication unit 12 includes a signal transmitting module 2111, which is connected to the second communication unit 211 to ensure accurate signal transmission within a preset number of times over a fixed period of time. Specifically, this mechanism is set to transmit 5 signals per second, and the transmission frequency can be set according to actual conditions. The first communication unit 12 includes a signal receiving module 121, which is specifically responsible for receiving transmitted signals from the second communication unit 211 (i.e., the end of float 2). The control unit 11 monitors the working status of the signal receiving module 121 to detect whether the preset number of transmitted signals has been successfully received within a fixed period of time. Once an abnormal signal reception is detected, i.e., failure to receive a sufficient number of signals within the specified time, the control unit 11 will immediately trigger an alarm mechanism, generating an alarm signal to alert the angler. In practical applications, the wireless communication device of float 2 will send wireless signals to the remote control at a preset frequency (e.g., 5 signals per second). When the remote control successfully receives these signals, it indicates that float 2 is currently in a normal floating state. However, if the remote control fails to receive a signal from float 2 within 2 consecutive seconds, or within any other reasonable timeframe, the system will automatically determine this as an abnormal situation and immediately trigger the alarm unit 13. Various alarm methods are available, including sound alarms, flashing alarms, or a combination of sound and light alarms, allowing anglers to choose the most suitable alarm method based on their personal preferences and the current environment.

[0056] Furthermore, the float 2 also includes a sensing unit 214, which is connected to the second communication unit 211 and is used to acquire the float status. The second communication unit 211 is also used to send the float status to the first communication unit 12. The control unit is used to receive the float status and determine whether the float is in the water. If so, it detects whether the real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit and the second communication unit is interrupted. If so, it generates an alarm signal. The sensing unit 214 includes a capacitive-resistive sensor.

[0057] Specifically, the float 2 includes a sensing unit 214. This sensing unit 214 is closely connected to the second communication unit 211 and is responsible for acquiring various status information of the float 2 in real time. In particular, the sensing unit 214 incorporates a capacitive resistance sensor, enabling the float 2 to intelligently sense whether it is in water. The working principle of the capacitive resistance sensor is based on a key characteristic: there is a significant difference in capacitive resistance values ​​in water and in air. When the float 2 floats on the water surface, the capacitive resistance sensor is in an air environment, and its capacitive resistance value remains within a relatively stable range. However, once the float 2 is dragged into the water by a fish, the sensor quickly senses the change in environment, and its capacitive resistance value changes significantly accordingly. The intelligent fishing system accurately transmits the float status information detected by the capacitive resistance sensor to the first communication unit 12 through the second communication unit 211. Subsequently, the control unit 11, as the core processing unit of the system, receives and analyzes this status information, quickly determining whether the float 2 has fallen into the water. If the determination result is that the float has fallen into the water, and a sudden interruption of the real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit 12 and the second communication unit 211 is detected (possibly due to abnormal situations such as a broken fishing line or the float being dragged away), an alarm signal is generated to alert the angler. Simultaneously, the 2.4GHz wireless signal technology used in the intelligent fishing system not only ensures the stability and reliability of communication between the float 2 and the remote control but also improves the speed and efficiency of data transmission. It can monitor the dynamic changes of the float 2 in real time, thereby making more accurate and timely responses. Even in complex and changing aquatic environments, the intelligent fishing system can maintain a stable communication connection, providing anglers with comprehensive support and protection.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides an intelligent fishing method, applied to the control unit 11 of the remote control device 1 of the intelligent fishing system described above, the method comprising the following steps: controlling the first communication unit 12 in the remote control device 1 to perform real-time signal interaction with the second communication unit 211 in the float 2; determining whether the real-time signal interaction has been interrupted; if so, generating an alarm signal.

[0059] This invention utilizes real-time signal interaction between the first communication unit 12 and the second communication unit 211. The control unit 11, connected to the first communication unit 12, is responsible for detecting the continuity of signal interaction between the two. Once a signal interruption is detected, it indicates that the float 2 may be malfunctioning, such as being dragged away by a fish, and the system quickly generates an alarm signal. This method not only reduces the burden on anglers who need to concentrate on observing the float 2 for extended periods but also ensures that anglers can quickly respond to changes in the float 2 through an instant feedback mechanism, thus avoiding missing the optimal time to set the hook.

[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
