Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line information learning system. Background Art

[0002] Conventional fishing reels, such as electric fishing reels, have a learning mode (see Patent Document 1). In learning mode, the relationship between the length of the fishing line wound around the spool and the rotational position of the spool is learned and set. This allows the electric reel to estimate the position of a trap or the distance it will fly. In this type of electric fishing reel, the angler operates multiple operation keys to input and set learning mode settings, such as the thickness (gauge) and type of fishing line, the length of the reel, and other fishing line information.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-65127 Summary of the Invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] Conventional electric reels require multiple keys to be operated for setup in a learning mode. However, due to space constraints on key placement, conventional electric reels can only accommodate a small number of keys. This increases the number of key operations required during the learning mode setup process, complicating the setup process.

[0008] Furthermore, in conventional electric reels, when winding a fishing line onto the spool in learning mode, the relationship between the fishing line length and the spool's rotational position is set. However, if the settings are not made correctly in learning mode, such as due to incorrect input of information or power failure during winding, the fishing line will need to be rewound.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing line information learning system that can easily set information of a fishing line used in a learning mode.

[0010] Means used to solve problems

[0011] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a fishing line information learning system includes a fishing reel and an electronic device. The fishing reel includes a spool having a pair of flanges and a winding body for winding the fishing line between the flanges; and a first communication unit. The electronic device includes a camera capable of photographing the spool; a second communication unit capable of communicating with the first communication unit; and a first memory for storing first information acquired by the camera.

[0012] At least one of a fishing reel and an electronic device includes a second memory and a controller. The second memory stores a calculation formula used to calculate the amount of fishing line wound from a first time point at which fishing line winding begins to a second time point at which fishing line winding ends. The controller estimates a final winding diameter at the second time point based on first information at the second time point, and calculates the winding amount based on the final winding diameter at the second time point and the calculation formula.

[0013] In the fishing line information learning system according to the first technical solution, a camera of an electronic device captures an image of the spool of a fishing reel. At this point, a first memory of the electronic device acquires the first information acquired by the camera. A controller of at least one of the fishing reel and the electronic device estimates a final line diameter at a second time point based on the first information at a second time point. The second time point is when the fishing line is wound. The controller calculates the line winding amount based on the final line diameter at the second time point and a calculation formula stored in the second memory.

[0014] As described above, in the present fishing line information learning system, the angler can easily set the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode by acquiring the first information at the second time point from the camera without performing complicated operations or work.

A controller calculates the winding amount based on the final winding diameter at the second point in time, the initial winding diameter information, the second information, and a calculation formula.

[0018] In the fishing line information learning system according to the third aspect, by preparing the final winding diameter at the second time point, the initial winding diameter information, the second information, and the calculation formula, the fishing line information used in the learning mode can be easily set.

[0019] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the first aspect is configured as follows: a fishing reel includes a measuring unit for measuring the rotational speed of a spool. At least one of a first memory and a second memory stores initial winding diameter information corresponding to the outer diameter of a winding body or an initial winding diameter at a first point in time.

[0020] The controller identifies the final winding diameter at the second time point as the first final winding diameter. The controller identifies the spool rotation speed measured by the measuring unit between the second time point and the third time point when the predetermined length of fishing line is drawn as the measured rotation speed. The controller estimates the second final winding diameter at the third time point based on the first information at the third time point. The controller calculates the winding amount based on the first final winding diameter, the initial winding diameter information, the measured rotation speed, the second final winding diameter, and a calculation formula.

[0021] In the fishing line information learning system according to the fourth aspect, a predetermined length of fishing line is drawn out between the second time point and the third time point. The rotational speed is measured by the measurement unit. A camera of the electronic device captures an image of the fishing reel spool at the third time point. At this time, first information at the third time point is acquired. A second final winding diameter at the third time point is estimated based on the first information at the third time point.

[0022] By preparing the first final winding diameter at the second time point, initial winding diameter information, measurement rotation speed, second final winding diameter at the third time point, and calculation formula, the fishing line information used in the learning mode can be easily set.

An identification information display portion containing third information related to the spool is provided on at least one of the flange portion and the winding body portion. The identification information display portion contains at least one of a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, and character information. When the identification information display portion is imaged by a camera, the controller stores the third information related to the spool in at least one of the first memory and the second memory.

Figure 4AAs shown, the spool 35 includes a pair of flanges 35a and a winding body 35b. The flanges 35a are disposed opposite each other. The winding body 35b is disposed between the flanges 35a. For example, by rotating the handle 33, the fishing line is wound onto the winding body 35b. Alternatively, by rotating a motor (not shown) located within the reel body 31, the fishing line is wound onto the winding body 35b.

[0057] like Figure 4B As shown, one of the pair of flanges 35a is provided with an identification information display portion 36. Specifically, the identification information display portion 36 is provided on the outer surface of the flange 35a. More specifically, the outer surface of the flange 35a is provided with a recessed portion 35c, and the identification information display portion 36 is provided in the recessed portion 35c.

[0058] In this embodiment, the identification information display portion 36 is provided on the outer surface of the flange portion 35a. However, the identification information display portion 36 may also be provided on the axially outer side of the winding body portion 35b. In this case, the recessed portion 35c is provided on the axially outer side of the winding body portion 35b, and the identification information display portion 36 is provided in the recessed portion 35c.

[0059] The identification information display unit 36 includes reel information (an example of the third information) related to the reel 35. Specifically, the identification information display unit 36 includes at least one of a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, and character information. At least one of the one-dimensional barcode, the two-dimensional barcode, and the character information includes the reel information or an access mechanism for obtaining the information.

[0060] The reel information includes information specific to the reel, such as the name of the reel 35, the type of reel 35, the flange diameter of the reel 35, the winding width of the reel 35, and the outer diameter R1 of the winding body 35b. The identification information display portion 36 is captured by the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. In this case, the reel information is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the second display unit 37 is provided on the reel body 31. The second display unit 37 displays various information related to the electric reel 5. The various information related to the electric reel 5 includes information on the learning mode. Figure 2 As shown, the second display unit 37 is controlled by the second control unit 43.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the second input unit 39 is arranged around the second display unit 37. The second input unit 39 is used to switch the display of various information on the second display unit 37, provide various information to the electric reel 5, and the like.

[0063] The second input unit 39 is an input unit such as a physical button. The second input unit 39 may also be an input unit such as a touch panel. When the second input unit 39 is realized by a touch panel, the second input unit 39 is integrated into the second display unit 37. Figure 2 As shown, the input of the second input unit 39 is controlled by the second control unit 43 .

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the second communication unit 41 is configured to be able to communicate with the first communication unit 17. For example, the second communication unit 41 has a communication function such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The second communication unit 41 can be connected to the first communication unit 17 wirelessly or by wire. The second communication unit 41 is controlled by the second control unit 43.

[0065] The second communication unit 41 transmits various information to the first communication unit 17 in response to an operation of at least one of the first input unit 15 and the second input unit 39. Alternatively, the second communication unit 41 may automatically transmit various information to the first communication unit 17 without operating the first input unit 15 and the second input unit 39.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the second control unit 43 includes a second memory 43a and a second controller 43b. The second memory 43a is a nonvolatile memory. The second memory 43a includes ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The second memory 43a stores various programs for operating the electric reel 5. The second memory 43a stores various data used in the various programs.

[0067] For example, the second memory 43a stores wire diameter information obtained from the smartphone 3, various information related to the electric reel 5, and various information used in the learning mode. The second memory 43a also stores fishing line information related to the fishing line. The fishing line information in the second memory 43a can also be transmitted and received between the smartphone 3 and the electric reel 5 via the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 and the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5.

[0068] Second memory 43a stores equations used to calculate various information used in learning mode. For example, the equation is used to calculate the amount of fishing line wound between a first time point when winding begins and a second time point when winding ends. Second memory 43a stores the values of the coefficients and variables used in the equation.

[0069] like Figure 2As shown, the second controller 43b includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The second controller 43b reads various programs from the second memory 43a and executes them. For example, the second controller 43b controls the electric reel 5. The second controller 43b reads various electric reel programs for operating the electric reel 5 from the second memory 43a and controls the electric reel 5. The second controller 43b controls the display of the second display unit 37 and the motor drive control for controlling the rotation of the spool 35.

[0070] The second controller 43b controls the second display unit 37. For example, the second controller 43b controls the second display unit 37 based on a display program stored in the second memory 43a. As a result, various information in the second memory 43a is displayed on the second display unit 37.

[0071] The second controller 43b recognizes input from the second input unit 39. For example, if the second input unit 39 is operated, the second controller 43b receives an operation signal from the second input unit 39 and executes a command corresponding to the operation signal. The second controller 43b stores input information input from the second input unit 39 and input information selected by the second input unit 39 in the first memory 21a.

[0072] The second controller 43b controls the second communication unit 41. For example, the second controller 43b issues commands to the second communication unit 41 regarding the transmission and reception of information. Specifically, the second controller 43b issues commands to the second communication unit 41 to read various types of information from the second memory 43a and transmit the various types of information to the first communication unit 17. The second controller 43b also issues commands to the second communication unit 41 to receive information transmitted from the first communication unit 17.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the measuring unit 45 measures the rotational speed of the spool 35. For example, the measuring unit 45 includes a spool sensor 45a and a counter 45b. The spool sensor 45a is provided on the reel body 31. The spool sensor 45a is arranged to face the magnet provided on the spool 35. When the spool 35 rotates, the spool sensor 45a detects the rotational direction of the spool 35. Data indicating the rotational direction of the spool 35 is stored in the second memory 43a and recognized by the second controller 43b.

[0074] Figure 2The counter 45b shown is provided on the reel body 31. The counter 45b detects the signal output from the spool sensor 45a. Based on this detection, the counter 45b measures the rotational speed of the spool 35 and the rotational speed of the spool 35. Data indicating the rotational speed of the spool 35 and the rotational speed of the spool 35 are stored in the second memory 43a and recognized by the second controller 43b.

[0075] (Fishing Line Information Learning System)

[0076] In the fishing line information learning system 1 having the above structure, the Figure 5 The flowchart of FIG. 1 illustrates the form of setting the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode. In addition, in this learning mode, the full length of the wound fishing line is known in advance.

[0077] First, at the first moment of starting to wind the fishing line, the smartphone 3 obtains the reel information of the electric reel 5 (S11). In this embodiment, the reel information is obtained by photographing the identification information display unit 36 with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. For example, by photographing the identification information display unit 36 with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3, the outer diameter R1 of the winding body 35b of the reel information is obtained. In detail, the reel information is read from a two-dimensional barcode representing various numerical information including the outer diameter R1. Alternatively, the two-dimensional barcode may also represent a link to the reel information stored in the server 100, and various numerical information is read from the server 100. The reel information can also be obtained by input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3.

[0078] like Figure 4A As shown, at the first time point, when the bottom line H is wound on the winding body 35b, the reel 35 is photographed by the camera 11 of the smartphone 3, and the initial winding diameter R2 at the first time point is obtained as the winding diameter information. Specifically, the first controller 21b analyzes the image data taken by the camera 11 and estimates / obtains the initial winding diameter R2. In the case where the angler is able to measure or grasp the initial winding diameter R2, the initial winding diameter R2 can also be obtained with the help of input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3. The reel information is stored in the first memory 21a. The winding diameter information is sent from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5, and is also stored in the second memory 43a (S21).

[0079] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 identifies the winding start diameter information of the reel 35 (S12). For example, the first controller 21b obtains the outer diameter R1 of the winding body 35b or the initial winding diameter R2 of the bottom line H contained in the reel information (see Figure 4A ), identified as the initial winding diameter information (Dm).

[0080] Next, the fishing line is wound onto the winding body 35b of the spool 35. The amount of line wound from the first time point to the second time point after the second time point at which the winding of the fishing line is completed, i.e., the total length of the wound fishing line, is input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 and stored in the first memory 21a (S13). The total length of the fishing line is transmitted from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5 and is also stored in the second memory 43a (S23). Alternatively, the total length of the fishing line can be obtained from the server 100 as fishing line information by photographing or reading (e.g., scanning) the packaging, label, and barcode of the wound fishing line, and inputting / storing the information in the first memory 21a.

[0081] Next, after the second time point at which the winding of the fishing line is completed, the camera 11 of the smartphone 3 captures an image of the spool 35. Thus, the smartphone 3 acquires an image of the winding state at the second time point (S14).

[0082] The first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 estimates the final winding diameter at the second time point based on the winding state image at the second time point (S15). For example, the first controller 21b estimates the final winding diameter at the second time point based on the winding state image at the second time point and the flange diameter of the reel 35 in the reel information.

[0083] Specifically, based on the winding state image at the second time point, the first controller 21b performs processing to average the outer circumference of the fishing line wound on the winding body portion 35b of the spool 35. The first controller 21b calculates the ratio of the diameter of the outermost circumference of the fishing line to the flange diameter of the spool 35 to calculate the final winding diameter at the second time point.

[0084] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 obtains the calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the reel 35 (S16). For example, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 requests the calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the reel 35 from the electric reel 5, and the electric reel 5 sends the calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the reel 35 to the smartphone 3 (S22). The calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the reel 35 is a formula for calculating the rotational speed (d) of the reel 35 in the range from the first time point to the second time point. The calculation formula can also be obtained from the server 100 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3. Alternatively, it can also be obtained as the reel information of the identification information display unit 36.

[0085] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 calculates the total rotation speed (dt) of the spool 35 required to wind the full length of the fishing line onto the spool 35 based on the total length (LT) of the fishing line, the initial winding diameter information (Dm), and the final winding diameter (DL) at the second time point (S17). The actual winding amount (LT) is the amount of line actually wound onto the spool 35 from the first time point to the second time point. The total length (LT) of the fishing line is a known value. In this embodiment, the calculation formula is expressed as "d = 2LT / (DL + Dm)".

[0086] The total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 is stored in the first memory 21a. The total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 is transmitted from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5 and is also stored in the second memory 43a (S23).

[0087] Next, the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 generates first table data indicating the correspondence between the reel information and the calculation formula, and stores the data in the second memory 43a (S24). The first table data is transmitted from the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5 to the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 and is also stored in the first memory 21a (S18). The first table data is used when replacing the reel, etc.

[0088] When calculating the winding amount, use Figure 6 The first-order function shown. Figure 6 In FIG. 1 , the horizontal axis represents the rotation speed (x) of the drum 35 and the vertical axis represents the winding diameter (y). A linear function is expressed as "y=Ax+B" using a slope (A) and an intercept (B).

[0089] Figure 6 The intercept is the initial winding diameter information (Dm). The winding diameter (y) corresponding to the total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 is the final winding diameter (DL) at the second time point. The slope (A) represents the rate of increase of the outer diameter. The slope (A) is calculated by "A = (y-Dm) / x = (DL-Dm) / dt = (DL 2 -Dm 2 ) / 2LT". The slope (A) is stored in the second memory 43a. Thus, the learning is completed.

[0090] The second controller 43b detects the rotational speed of the spool 35 and calculates the line length (FS) (S25). Specifically, the second controller 43b calculates the line length (FS) by calculating "FS = ∫(y = Ax + Dm); x = 0 to d." In this embodiment, the line length (FS) is calculated as "FS = d(Ad + 2Dm) / 2." The second controller 43b displays the value obtained by subtracting the line length FS from the total length of the fishing line (LT) as the fishing line drawout amount L on the second display unit 37 (S26).

[0091] Here, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S19).

[0092] In the fishing line information learning system 1 having the above-described configuration, the angler can easily calculate the winding amount (FS) by obtaining the winding line diameter information at the second time point (T2) without performing complex operations or work. Specifically, the fishing line information learning system 1 can easily set the fishing line information used in the learning mode by preparing the final winding line diameter (DL) at the second time point (T2), the initial winding line diameter information (Dm), the actual winding amount (LT), and the calculation formula (d).

[0093] [Second embodiment]

[0094] In the fishing line information learning system 1 of the second embodiment, descriptions of substantially the same components as those of the first embodiment are omitted. The omitted descriptions are based on the description of the first embodiment. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the total length of the fishing line is unknown, but the material and thickness of the fishing line are known.

[0095] In the second embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, first, the smartphone 3 performs a process (S31) corresponding to step 11 (S11) of the first embodiment and a process (S32) corresponding to step 12 (S12) of the first embodiment. The electric reel 5 performs a process (S41) corresponding to step 21 (S21) of the first embodiment.

[0096] Next, fishing line information is input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3 (S33). Similar to the first embodiment, fishing line information can also be obtained from the server 100 by photographing the packaging, label, and barcode of the wound fishing line with the camera 11. The fishing line information is transmitted from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric fishing reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a (S42). Fishing line information can also be input from the second input unit 39 of the electric fishing reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a.

[0097] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 reads from the first memory 21a the third table data representing the correspondence between fishing line information and the rate of increase in outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) empirically determined based on the fishing line information (S34). Based on the third table, the first controller 21b identifies the rate of increase in outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) corresponding to the fishing line information (S35). The rate of increase in outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) corresponding to the fishing line information is transmitted from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric fishing reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a (S43). This third table data can also be obtained from the server 100 as fishing line information.

[0098] Next, the smartphone 3 executes a process ( S36 ) corresponding to step 14 ( S14 ) of the first embodiment and a process ( S37 ) corresponding to step 15 ( S15 ) of the first embodiment.

[0099] Next, the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 obtains the calculation formula of the total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 from the second memory 43a and sends it to the smartphone 3 (S44). The first memory 21a of the smartphone 3 stores the calculation formula of the total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 (S38). The calculation formula can also be obtained from the server 100 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3. Alternatively, it can be obtained as the reel information of the identification information display unit 36. The first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 calculates the total rotation speed (dt) of the reel 35 based on the initial winding diameter information (Dm), the final winding diameter (DL) at the second time point (T2) and the increase rate of the outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) (S39).

[0100] In this embodiment, the total rotational speed (dt) of the spool 35 is calculated by the equation "dt = (DL - Dm) / A." The rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 is stored in the first memory 21a. The rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 is transmitted from the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 to the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5 and is also stored in the second memory 43a (S45).

[0101] After the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 performs the processing corresponding to step 18 (S18) of the first embodiment, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S40).

[0102] In this embodiment, the total length LT of the fishing line is calculated by "LT = dt(A·dt + 2Dm) / 2." Similar to the first embodiment, the winding amount FS is calculated in step 46 (S46) using the equation "FS = d(A·d + 2Dm) / 2," and the fishing line withdrawal amount L is displayed on the second display unit 37 in step 47 (S47).

[0103] In this way, when the outer diameter increase rate (the slope of the linear function; A) is determined based on the fishing line information, the second controller 43b can easily calculate the rotational speed (d) and the winding amount (FS) of the spool 35 as described above. In other words, the angler can easily set the fishing line information used in the learning mode by obtaining the winding state image at the second time point (T2) without performing complex operations or work.

[0104] [Third embodiment]

[0105] In the fishing line information learning system 1 of the third embodiment, descriptions of substantially the same components as those of the first embodiment are omitted. The omitted descriptions are based on those of the first embodiment. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the full length, material, and thickness of the fishing line are also unknown.

[0106] In the third embodiment, the following processing is performed when the electric reel 5 is set to the learning mode. The learning mode is a mode for learning the relationship between the length of the fishing line wound on the spool and the rotation of the spool. Figure 8 As shown, in the third embodiment, first, the smartphone 3 performs a process (S51) corresponding to step 11 (S11) of the first embodiment and a process (S52) corresponding to step 12 (S12) of the first embodiment. The electric reel 5 performs a process (S71) corresponding to step 21 (S21) of the first embodiment.

[0107] Next, the smartphone 3 executes a process (S53) corresponding to step 14 (S14) of the first embodiment and a process (S54) corresponding to step 15 (S15) of the first embodiment. In step 54 (S54), the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 recognizes the final winding diameter at the second time point as the first final winding diameter (DL1).

[0108] Next, a predetermined length of fishing line is drawn out while the fishing line is wound around the winding body 35b of the spool 35. In this embodiment, the point in time when the predetermined length of fishing line is drawn out is recorded as a third point in time.

[0109] Here, the measuring unit 45 of the electric reel 5 measures the rotation speed of the spool 35 during the period from the second time point to the third time point (S72). The rotation speed of the spool 35 is stored in the second memory 43a. The second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 recognizes the rotation speed of the spool 35 measured by the measuring unit 45 during the period from the second time point to the third time point as the measured rotation speed. Figure 9 As shown, the measured rotation speed between the second time point and the third time point is represented by the symbol "c". The measured rotation speed c between the second time point and the third time point is stored in the first memory 21a from the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel via the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 (S55).

[0110] Next, at the third time point, after the fishing line is drawn out, the camera 11 of the smartphone 3 captures the fishing line wound around the spool 35 and the winding body 35b. This captures a winding state image at the third time point (S56). The winding state image at the third time point is image data that includes the spool 35 and the winding body 35b of the fishing line wound around the spool 35 at the third time point.

[0111] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 estimates the second final winding diameter at the third time point based on the winding state image at the third time point (S57). For example, the first controller 21b estimates the second final winding diameter at the third time point based on the winding state image at the third time point and the flange diameter of the reel 35.

[0112] Specifically, based on the winding state image at the third time point, the first controller 21b performs processing to average the outer circumference of the fishing line wound on the winding body portion 35b of the spool 35. The first controller 21b calculates the ratio of the diameter of the outermost circumference of the fishing line to the outer circumference of the flange portion 35a of the spool 35, calculates the second final winding diameter (DL2) at the third time point, and identifies the second final winding diameter (DL2) at the third time point (S58).

[0113] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 obtains the calculation formula of the increase rate of the outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) from the first memory 21a, and calculates the increase rate of the outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A) (S59). Figure 9 As shown, the calculation formula of the outer diameter increase rate (the slope of the linear function; A) is expressed by "A = (DL1 - DL2) / c". The outer diameter increase rate (the slope of the linear function; A) is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0114] Next, the first controller 21b obtains the calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point from the first memory 21a (S60), and calculates the rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point (S61). In the present embodiment, the calculation formula for the rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point is expressed as "d = DL1 - Dm / A = c (DL1 - Dm) / (DL1 - DL2)". The rotational speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0115] Next, the electric reel 5 obtains the rotation speed (d) of the reel 35 at the second time point from the smartphone 3 (S73), and the second controller 43b calculates the winding amount (FS) based on the first final winding diameter (DL1), the initial winding diameter information (Dm), the measured rotation speed (c) and the second final winding diameter (DL2) (S74). In this embodiment, the calculation formula of the winding amount (FS) is "FS = c (DL1 2 -Dm 2 ) / {2(DL1-DL2)}". The winding amount (FS) is stored in the second memory 43a. The second controller 43b displays the fishing line drawn amount L on the second display unit 37 (S75) in the same manner as step 26 (S26) of the first embodiment.

[0116] Here, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information of the fishing line used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S62).

[0117] By thus reeling out the fishing line between the second time point (T2) and the third time point (T3), the second controller 43b can easily calculate the rotational speed (d), the rate of increase in the outer diameter (the slope of the linear function; A), and the line winding amount (FS) of the spool 35 at the second time point (T2), as described above. In other words, the angler can easily set the fishing line information used in the learning mode by acquiring the line winding state image at the second time point (T2) and the line winding state image at the third time point (T3), without performing complex operations or work.

[0119] While one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the first to third embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. In particular, the multiple embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be arbitrarily combined as needed.

[0120] (A) In the first to third embodiments described above, examples were shown in which the amount of fishing line is calculated on the smartphone 3. The amount of fishing line can also be calculated on the electric reel 5. In this case, the information required to calculate the amount of fishing line is stored in the second memory 43a of the electric reel 5. Furthermore, information about the fishing line used in the learning mode is transmitted from the second communication unit 41 of the electric reel 5 to the first communication unit 17 of the smartphone 3 and stored in the first memory 21a.

[0121] (B) In the first to third embodiments described above, examples were shown in which reel information was automatically acquired by photographing the identification information display unit 36 with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. Reel information may also be manually input from at least one of the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 and the second input unit 39 of the electric reel 5.

[0122] Furthermore, the identification information display unit 36 may also include the individual identification information of the spool 35. With this configuration, the learning results are associated with the individual identification information and stored in the smartphone 3 or electric fishing reel 5. Even if the spool 35 is replaced, the learning results corresponding to the spool 35 and the fishing line wound on it can be retrieved by reading the information from the identification information display unit 36. Furthermore, this information may be stored in the server 100 via the Internet.
