Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Some conventional fishing reels, such as electric reels, have a learning mode (see Patent Document 1). In learning mode, the relationship between the length of fishing line wound onto the spool and the rotational position of the spool is learned and set. This allows the electric reel to estimate the position of the tackle or the casting distance of the tackle. With this type of electric reel, the angler operates multiple operation keys to input and set learning mode settings, such as fishing line information such as the line thickness (size), type, and length of line to be wound.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-65127 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In conventional electric reels, the setting work in learning mode is performed by operating multiple operation keys. However, in conventional electric reels, the space for arranging the operation keys is limited, so only a small number of operation keys can be used, and the setting work in learning mode requires a large number of operation keys to be operated. In other words, there is a problem that the setting work is complicated.

[0005] In addition, with conventional electric reels, the relationship between the length of the fishing line and the rotational position of the spool is set when the fishing line is wound onto the spool in the learning mode. However, if the setting is not done correctly in the learning mode, for example, if the information is entered incorrectly or if the power supply is cut off during winding, the fishing line must be rewound again.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing line information learning system that can easily set information about a fishing line to be used in learning mode. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] 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 has a spool including a pair of flanges and a line winding body around which the fishing line is wound between the pair of flanges, and a first communication unit. The electronic device has a camera configured to be able to photograph the spool, a second communication unit capable of communicating with the first communication unit, and a first memory that stores first information acquired by the camera.

[0008] At least one of the fishing reel and the electronic device has 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 when winding of the fishing line begins to a second time point when winding of the fishing line ends. The controller estimates the final line wound diameter at the second time point based on the first information at the second time point, and calculates the line wound amount based on the final line wound diameter at the second time point and the calculation formula.

[0009] In a fishing line information learning system according to a first aspect, a camera of an electronic device photographs a spool of a fishing reel. At this time, a first memory of the electronic device acquires first information acquired by the camera. A controller of at least one of the fishing reel and the electronic device estimates a final line wound diameter at a second time point based on the first information at the second time point. Here, the second time point is the time point when winding of the fishing line is completed. The controller calculates the line wound amount based on the final line wound diameter at the second time point and the calculation formula in the second memory.

[0010] In this way, with this fishing line information learning system, the angler can easily set the fishing line information to be used in learning mode by obtaining the first information at the second point in time from the camera without having to perform any complicated operations or tasks.

[0011] With respect to the second aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the first aspect is configured as follows: At least one of a first memory and a second memory stores the outer diameter of the bobbin trunk or initial line wound diameter information corresponding to the initial line wound diameter at a first point in time. A controller calculates the line wound amount based on the final line wound diameter at a second point in time, the initial line wound diameter information, the actual line wound amount within the range, and a calculation formula.

[0012] In the fishing line information learning system according to the second aspect, the fishing line information to be used in the learning mode can be easily set by preparing the final line winding diameter at the second point in time, the initial line winding diameter information, the actual line winding amount within the above range, and a calculation formula.

[0013] With respect to the third aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the first aspect is configured as follows: At least one of a first memory and a second memory stores initial wound diameter information corresponding to the outer diameter of the bobbin trunk or the initial wound diameter at a first point in time, and second information related to the fishing line. A controller calculates the wound amount of fishing line based on the final wound diameter at the second point in time, the initial wound diameter information, the second information, and a calculation formula.

[0014] In the fishing line information learning system according to the third aspect, the fishing line information to be used in the learning mode can be easily set by preparing the final line winding diameter at the second point in time, the initial line winding diameter information, the second information, and a calculation formula.

[0015] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the first aspect is configured as follows: The fishing reel has a measuring unit that measures the number of rotations of the spool, and at least one of a first memory and a second memory stores the outer diameter of the bobbin trunk or initial line wound diameter information corresponding to the initial line wound diameter at a first point in time.

[0016] The controller recognizes the final line wound diameter at the second time point as the first final line wound diameter. The controller recognizes the number of spool rotations measured by the measurement unit from the second time point to a third time point when a predetermined length of fishing line has been unwound as the measured number of rotations. The controller estimates the second final line wound diameter at the third time point based on the first information at the third time point. The controller calculates the line wound amount based on the first final line wound diameter, initial line wound diameter information, the measured number of rotations, the second final line wound diameter, and a calculation formula.

[0017] In a fishing line information learning system according to a fourth aspect, a predetermined length of fishing line is unwound between a second time point and a third time point. At this time, the number of rotations is measured by a measuring unit. A camera of the electronic device photographs the spool of the fishing reel at the third time point. At this time, first information at the third time point is acquired. A second final line winding diameter at the third time point is estimated based on the first information at the third time point.

[0018] By preparing the first final winding diameter at the second point in time, the initial winding diameter information, the measured rotation speed, the second final winding diameter at the third point in time, and a calculation formula, the fishing line information used in the learning mode can be easily set.

[0019] With respect to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a fishing line information learning system according to any one of the first to fourth aspects is configured as follows: An identification information display unit including third information about the spool is provided on at least one of the flange portion and the bobbin trunk portion. The identification information display unit includes at least one of a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, and text information. When the identification information display unit is photographed by the camera, the controller stores the third information about the spool in at least one of the first memory and the second memory.

[0020] In the fishing line information learning system according to the fifth aspect, the third information about the spool can be easily acquired by photographing the identification information display section with a camera.

[0021] With respect to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the fifth aspect is configured as follows: The electronic device has a display unit for displaying information in the first memory, and the display unit displays third information about the spool.

[0022] In the fishing line information learning system according to the sixth aspect, the angler can grasp the information about the spool by looking at the third information on the display unit.

[0023] With respect to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the fifth aspect is configured as follows: The controller generates table data indicating the relationship between third information about the spool and the calculation formula, and the controller stores the table data in at least one of the first memory and the second memory.

[0024] In the fishing line information learning system according to the seventh aspect, the third information about the spool is linked to the calculation formula, so that the calculation formula corresponding to each spool can be stored.

[0025] With regard to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the fishing line information learning system according to the fifth aspect is configured as follows: At least one of the flange portion and the bobbin trunk portion has a recess, and the identification information display portion is provided in the recess.

[0026] In the fishing line information learning system according to the eighth aspect, the identification information display portion is provided in the recess, thereby preventing the identification information display portion from peeling off. [Effects of the Invention]

The fishing line information includes the fishing line size, diameter, type (material) of the fishing line, etc.

[0034] The first controller 21b includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The first controller 21b reads various programs from the first memory 21a and executes the programs. For example, the first controller 21b estimates the line diameter of the spool by analyzing image data captured by a camera and stores the estimated line diameter information in the first memory 21a.

[0035] The first controller 21b controls the first display unit 13. For example, the first controller 21b controls the first display unit 13 based on a display program stored in the first memory 21a.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the spool 35 includes a pair of flanges 35a and a line winding trunk 35b. The pair of flanges 35a are disposed opposite each other. The line winding trunk 35b is provided between the pair of flanges 35a. For example, by rotating the handle 33, fishing line is wound onto the line winding trunk 35b. Alternatively, fishing line can be wound onto the line winding trunk 35b by rotating a motor (not shown) disposed inside the reel body 31.

[0040] 4B, one of the pair of flange portions 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 portion 35a. More specifically, a recess 35c is provided on the outer surface of the flange portion 35a, and the identification information display portion 36 is provided in the recess 35c.

[0041] In this embodiment, the identification information display section 36 is provided on the outer surface of the flange section 35a, but the identification information display section 36 may also be provided on the axially outer surface of the bobbin trunk section 35b. In this case, a recess 35c is provided on the axially outer surface of the bobbin trunk section 35b, and the identification information display section 36 is provided in this recess 35c.

[0042] The identification information display unit 36 ​​includes spool information (an example of third information) related to the spool 35. In particular, 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 spool information or an access means for obtaining the same.

[0043] The spool information includes spool-specific information such as the name of the spool 35, the type of the spool 35, the flange diameter of the spool 35, the line winding width of the spool 35, and the outer diameter R1 of the line winding trunk 35b. The identification information display section 36 is photographed by the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. In this case, the spool information is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 3, 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 about the learning mode. As shown in FIG. 2, the second display unit 37 is controlled by the second control unit 43.

[0045] 3, the second input unit 39 is disposed around the second display unit 37. The second input unit 39 is used to switch between various pieces of information displayed on the second display unit 37 and to provide various pieces of information to the electric reel 5.

[0046] The second input unit 39 is an input unit such as a physical button. The second input unit 39 may be an input unit such as a touch panel. When the second input unit 39 is realized as a touch panel, the second input unit 39 is integrated into the second display unit 37. As shown in FIG. 2 , the input of the second input unit 39 is controlled by a second control unit 43.

[0047] 2, 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 may be connected to the first communication unit 17 wirelessly or by wire. The second communication unit 41 is controlled by a second control unit 43.

[0048] The second communication unit 41 transmits various information to the first communication unit 17 by operating at least one of the first input unit 15 and the second input unit 39. 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.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 2, the second control unit 43 has a second memory 43a and a second controller 43b. The second memory 43a is a non-volatile memory. The second memory 43a includes a read-only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM). 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.

[0050] For example, the second memory 43a stores line diameter information acquired from the smartphone 3, various information related to the electric reel 5, and various information used in the learning mode. The second memory 43a stores fishing line information related to the fishing line. The fishing line information in the second memory 43a may 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.

[0051] The second memory 43a stores calculation formulas for calculating various information used in the learning mode. For example, the calculation formulas are used to calculate the amount of fishing line wound from a first time point when winding of the fishing line begins to a second time point when winding of the fishing line ends. The second memory 43a stores coefficients and variable values ​​used in the calculation formulas.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 2, the second controller 43b includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The second controller 43b reads various programs from the second memory 43a and executes the various programs. 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 executes display control of the second display unit 37 and motor drive control for controlling rotation of the spool 35.

[0053] 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 types of information in the second memory 43a are displayed on the second display unit 37.

[0054] The second controller 43b recognizes the input from the second input unit 39. For example, when the second input unit 39 is operated, the second controller 43b acquires an operation signal from the second input unit 39 and executes a command corresponding to the operation signal. The second controller 43b stores the input information input from the second input unit 39 and the input information selected by the second input unit 39 in the first memory 21a.

[0055] The second controller 43b controls the second communication unit 41. For example, the second controller 43b issues commands related to the transmission and reception of information to the second communication unit 41. In detail, the second controller 43b reads various types of information from the second memory 43a and issues commands to the second communication unit 41 to transmit the various types of information to the first communication unit 17. The second controller 43b issues commands to the second communication unit 41 to receive information transmitted from the first communication unit 17.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 2, the measurement unit 45 measures the number of rotations of the spool 35. For example, the measurement 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 disposed facing a magnet provided on the spool 35. When the spool 35 rotates, the spool sensor 45a detects the rotation direction of the spool 35. Data indicating the rotation direction of the spool 35 is stored in the second memory 43a and recognized by the second controller 43b.

[0057] The counter 45b shown in Figure 2 is provided on the reel body 31. The counter 45b detects a signal output from the spool sensor 45a. Based on this detection, the counter 45b measures the number of rotations and the rotational speed of the spool 35. Data indicating the number of rotations and the rotational speed of the spool 35 is stored in the second memory 43a and recognized by the second controller 43b.

[0058] (Fishing Line Information Learning System) In the fishing line information learning system 1 having the above configuration, the manner in which the fishing line information used in the learning mode is set will be described using the flowchart in Figure 5. In this learning mode, the total length of the fishing line to be wound is known in advance.

[0059] First, at a first time point when winding of the fishing line begins, the smartphone 3 acquires spool information of the electric reel 5 (S11). In this embodiment, the spool information is acquired by photographing the identification information display unit 36 ​​with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. For example, the outer diameter R1 of the bobbin trunk 35b in the spool information is acquired by photographing the identification information display unit 36 ​​with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. More specifically, the spool information is read from a two-dimensional barcode indicating various pieces of numerical information including the outer diameter R1. Alternatively, the two-dimensional barcode may indicate a link to spool information stored on the server 100, and the various pieces of numerical information may be read from the server 100. The spool information may also be acquired by input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 4A , when the bobbin line H is wound around the bobbin trunk 35b at a first time point, the initial line wound diameter R2 at the first time point is acquired as line wound diameter information by capturing an image of the spool 35 with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. Specifically, the first controller 21b analyzes the image data captured by the camera 11 to estimate and acquire the initial line wound diameter R2. If the angler is able to measure or know the initial line wound diameter R2, the initial line wound diameter R2 may be acquired by input from the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3. The spool information is stored in the first memory 21a. The line wound diameter information 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 (S21).

[0061] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 recognizes information about the initial winding diameter of the spool 35 (S12). For example, the first controller 21b obtains from the first memory 21a the outer diameter R1 of the bobbin trunk 35b included in the spool information, or the initial winding diameter R2 around which the bobbin thread H is wound (see FIG. 4A), and recognizes this as the initial winding diameter information (Dm).

[0062] Next, the fishing line is wound onto the line winding trunk 35b of the spool 35, and after the second time point when the winding of the fishing line is completed, the amount of line wound between the first time point and the second time point, i.e., the total length of the wound fishing line, is input through 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). The total length of the fishing line may be obtained from the server 100 as fishing line information by photographing or reading (scanning) the package or label of the fishing line to be wound, and the barcode on the package or label, and then input and stored in the first memory 21a.

[0063] Subsequently, after the second time point when the winding of the fishing line is completed, the spool 35 is photographed by the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. As a result, an image of the line winding state at the second time point is acquired by the smartphone 3 (S14).

[0064] 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 spool 35 in the spool information.

[0065] Specifically, based on the line winding state image at the second time point, the first controller 21b executes a process to average the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line wound around the bobbin trunk 35b of the spool 35. The first controller 21b calculates the ratio of the diameter of the outermost peripheral surface of the fishing line to the flange diameter of the spool 35, and calculates the final line winding diameter at the second time point.

[0066] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 acquires a formula for calculating the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 (S16). For example, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 requests the formula for calculating the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 from the electric reel 5, and the electric reel 5 transmits the formula for calculating the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 to the smartphone 3 (S22). The formula for calculating the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 is a formula for calculating the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 in the range from the first time point to the second time point. The calculation formula may be acquired from the server 100 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3. Alternatively, it may be acquired as spool information of the identification information display unit 36.

[0067] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 calculates the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 required to wind the entire length of the fishing line onto the spool 35 based on the total length of the fishing line (LT), the initial line wound diameter information (Dm), and the final line wound diameter (DL) at the second time point (S17). The actual line wound amount (LT) is the amount of line actually wound onto the spool 35 between the first time point and the second time point. The total length of the fishing line (LT) is a known value. In this embodiment, the calculation formula is expressed as "d=2LT / (DL+Dm)".

[0068] The total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 is stored in the first memory 21a. The total number of rotations (dt) 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 (S23).

[0069] Next, the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 generates first table data indicating the correspondence between the spool information and the calculation formula, and stores it 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 spool, etc.

[0070] When calculating the amount of line wound, a linear function shown in Figure 6 is used. In Figure 6, the horizontal axis represents the number of rotations (x) of the spool 35, and the vertical axis represents the line wound diameter (y). The linear function is expressed as "y = Ax + B" using a slope (A) and an intercept (B).

[0071] The intercept in FIG. 6 is the initial wound diameter information (Dm). The wound diameter (y) corresponding to the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 is the final wound diameter (DL) at the second point in time. The slope (A) indicates the rate of increase in the outer diameter. The slope (A) is given by: A = (y - Dm) / x = (DL - Dm) / dt = (DL 2 -Dm 2 ) / 2LT". The slope (A) is stored in the second memory 43a. This completes the learning.

[0072] The second controller 43b detects the rotation speed of the spool 35 and calculates the wound line amount (FS) (S25). Specifically, the second controller 43b calculates the wound line amount (FS) by calculating "FS = ∫(y = Ax + Dm); x = 0 to d." In this embodiment, the wound line amount (FS) is calculated by "FS = d(Ad + 2Dm) / 2." The second controller 43b subtracts the wound line amount FS from the total fishing line length LT, and displays the resulting value as the fishing line let-out amount L on the second display unit 37 (S26).

[0073] Here, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S19).

[0074] In the fishing line information learning system 1 having the above configuration, the angler can easily calculate the line wound amount (FS) by acquiring the line wound diameter information at the second time point (T2) without performing any complicated operations or tasks. In detail, in the fishing line information learning system 1, by preparing the final line wound diameter (DL) at the second time point (T2), the initial line wound diameter information (Dm), the actual line wound amount (LT), and the calculation formula (d), the angler can easily set the fishing line information used in the learning mode.

[0075] [Second embodiment] In the fishing line information learning system 1 of the second embodiment, explanations of components that are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment will be omitted. The omitted explanations are based on the explanations of the first embodiment. Note that in this embodiment, the total length of the fishing line is unknown, but the material, thickness, etc. of the fishing line are known.

[0076] 7, in the second embodiment, first, 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 are executed on the smartphone 3. On the electric reel 5, a process (S41) corresponding to step 21 (S21) of the first embodiment is executed.

[0077] Next, fishing line information is input through the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3 (S33). As in the first embodiment, the fishing line information may be obtained from the server 100 by using the camera 11 to photograph the package or label of the fishing line to be wound around the fishing line, and the barcodes on the package or label. 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 reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a (S42). The fishing line information may also be input through the second input unit 39 of the electric reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a.

[0078] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 reads from the first memory 21a third table data indicating the correspondence between the fishing line information and the rate of increase in outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) empirically obtained from the fishing line information (S34). The first controller 21b recognizes the rate of increase in outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) corresponding to the fishing line information based on the third table (S35). The rate of increase in outer diameter (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 reel 5 and stored in the second memory 43a (S43). This third table data may be obtained as fishing line information from the server 100.

[0079] Next, in the smartphone 3, a process (S36) corresponding to step 14 (S14) in the first embodiment and a process (S37) corresponding to step 15 (S15) in the first embodiment are executed.

[0080] Next, the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 obtains the formula for calculating the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 from the second memory 43a and transmits it to the smartphone 3 (S44). The first memory 21a of the smartphone 3 stores the formula for calculating the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 (S38). The calculation formula may be obtained from the server 100 and stored in the first memory 21a of the smartphone 3. Alternatively, it may be obtained as spool information in the identification information display unit 36. The first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 calculates the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 based on the initial line wound diameter information (Dm), the final line wound diameter (DL) at the second time point (T2), and the rate of increase in the outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) (S39).

[0081] In this embodiment, the calculation formula for the total number of rotations (dt) of the spool 35 is expressed as "dt = (DL - Dm) / A." The number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 is stored in the first memory 21a. The number of rotations (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 stored in the second memory 43a (S45).

[0082] After the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 executes processing corresponding to step 18 (S18) of the first embodiment, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S40).

[0083] In this embodiment, the total length of the fishing line LT is calculated by "LT = dt(A·dt+2Dm) / 2." In step 46 (S46), the line wound amount FS is calculated based on the formula "FS = d(A·d+2Dm) / 2," and in step 47 (S47), the line let-out amount L is displayed on the second display unit 37, similar to the first embodiment.

[0084] In this way, when the rate of increase in outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) is determined based on the fishing line information, the second controller 43b can easily calculate the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35 and the wound line amount (FS), as described above. In other words, the angler can easily set the fishing line information used in the learning mode by acquiring the line wound state image at the second time point (T2) without performing any complicated operations or tasks.

[0085] [Third embodiment] In the fishing line information learning system 1 of the third embodiment, explanations of components that are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment will be omitted. The omitted explanations are based on the explanations of the first embodiment. Note that in this embodiment, the total length, material, thickness, etc. of the fishing line are unknown.

[0086] In the third embodiment, the following processing is executed when the electric reel 5 is set to learning mode. Learning mode is a mode for learning the relationship between the length of fishing line wound around the spool and the rotation of the spool. As shown in FIG. 8, in the third embodiment, first, the smartphone 3 executes processing (S51) corresponding to step 11 (S11) of the first embodiment and processing (S52) corresponding to step 12 (S12) of the first embodiment. The electric reel 5 executes processing (S71) corresponding to step 21 (S21) of the first embodiment.

[0087] Next, 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 are executed on the smartphone 3. In step 54 (S54), the second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 recognizes the final line wound diameter at the second point in time as the first final line wound diameter (DL1).

[0088] Next, a predetermined length of fishing line is pulled out while the fishing line is wound around the bobbin trunk 35b of the spool 35. In this embodiment, the point in time when the predetermined length of fishing line is pulled out is referred to as the third point in time.

[0089] Here, the measurement unit 45 of the electric reel 5 measures the number of rotations of the spool 35 between the second time point and the third time point (S72). The number of rotations of the spool 35 is stored in the second memory 43a. The second controller 43b of the electric reel 5 recognizes the number of rotations of the spool 35 measured by the measurement unit 45 between the second time point and the third time point as the measured number of rotations. Hereinafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the measured number of rotations between the second time point and the third time point is indicated by the symbol "c." The measured number of rotations 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).

[0090] Next, after the fishing line has been unwound at a third time point, the camera 11 of the smartphone 3 captures an image of the spool 35 and the fishing line wound around the bobbin trunk 35b. This captures an image of the line wound state at the third time point (S56). The image of the line wound state at the third time point is image data including the spool 35 and the fishing line wound around the bobbin trunk 35b of the spool 35 at the third time point.

[0091] 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 spool 35.

[0092] Specifically, based on the line winding state image at the third point in time, the first controller 21b executes a process to average the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line wound around the bobbin trunk 35b of the spool 35. The first controller 21b calculates the ratio of the diameter of the outermost peripheral surface of the fishing line to the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 35a of the spool 35, calculates the second final line winding diameter (DL2) at the third point in time, and recognizes the second final line winding diameter (DL2) at the third point in time (S58).

[0093] Next, the first controller 21b of the smartphone 3 acquires a formula for calculating the rate of increase in the outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) from the first memory 21a, and calculates the rate of increase in the outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) (S59). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the formula for calculating the rate of increase in the outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) is expressed as "A=(DL1-DL2) / c". The rate of increase in the outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A) is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0094] Next, the first controller 21b obtains a calculation formula for the rotation speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point from the first memory 21a (S60), and calculates the rotation speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point (S61). In this embodiment, the calculation formula for the rotation speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point is expressed as "d=DL1-Dm / A=c(DL1-Dm) / (DL1-DL2)". The rotation speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point is stored in the first memory 21a.

[0095] Next, the electric reel 5 acquires the rotation speed (d) of the spool 35 at the second time point from the smartphone 3 (S73), and the second controller 43b calculates the wound line amount (FS) based on the first final wound line diameter (DL1), the initial wound line diameter information (Dm), the measured rotation speed (c), and the second final wound line diameter (DL2) (S74). In this embodiment, the calculation formula for the wound line amount (FS) is "FS=c(DL1)" 2 -Dm 2 ) / {2(DL1-DL2)}". The line wound amount (FS) is stored in the second memory 43a. The second controller 43b displays the fishing line let-out amount L on the second display unit 37 (S75), similar to step 26 (S26) in the first embodiment. Here, when the first input unit 15 of the smartphone 3 is operated to display information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode, the first controller 21b displays the information about the fishing line to be used in the learning mode on the first display unit 13 (S62).

[0096] In this way, by letting out the fishing line between the second time point (T2) and the third time point (T3), the second controller 43b can easily calculate the number of rotations (d) of the spool 35, the rate of increase in outer diameter (slope of the linear function; A), and the wound line amount (FS) 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 wound state image at the second time point (T2) and the line wound state image at the third time point (T3) without performing any complicated operations or tasks.

[0097] [Other embodiments] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the first to third embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. In particular, the multiple embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be combined as needed.

[0098] (A) In the first to third embodiments, an example was shown in which the wound line amount was calculated on the smartphone 3. The wound line amount may also be calculated on the electric reel 5. In this case, information required to calculate the wound line amount is stored in the second memory 43a of the electric reel 5. 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.

[0099] (B) In the first to third embodiments, an example has been shown in which spool information is automatically acquired by photographing the identification information display unit 36 ​​with the camera 11 of the smartphone 3. The spool information may 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.

[0100] The identification information display unit 36 ​​may also have individual identification information for the spool 35. With this configuration, the learning results are associated with the individual identification information and stored in the smartphone 3 or the electric reel 5, and even if the spool 35 is replaced, the learning results corresponding to the spool 35 and the fishing line wound on the spool 35 can be retrieved by reading the information from the identification information display unit 36. This information may also be stored in the server 100 via the Internet. [Explanation of symbols]
