Fishing Reel Casting Data Transmission Prioritization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing reels struggle to transmit fishing information, such as casting data, to external terminals in a timely and reliable manner, leading to user dissatisfaction due to incomplete or delayed information.
Innovation Solution
A fishing information management system that includes a fishing reel and an external communication terminal, capable of transmitting casting information each time a casting is performed, with prioritization of transmitting essential data from the last casting immediately, even if previous casting data was not fully transmitted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If casting information is transmitted each time a casting is performed, then the information availability is improved, but the transmission reliability deteriorates when data capacity is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transmission of casting information by prioritizing essential data (casting number, date/time, spool rotation points, line dimensions, spool diameter, maximum speed) over detailed data (speed history, brake settings, rod motion). This segmentation allows critical information to be transmitted reliably even when communication capacity is limited, while less critical data can be omitted or transmitted later.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting essential casting information immediately when a casting event occurs, before the communication channel may become unavailable or overloaded. This ensures that critical data is captured and transmitted during the optimal time window, improving both information availability and transmission reliability.
2Loss of information
If all casting information is transmitted completely, then the information completeness is improved, but the transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides casting information into essential and detailed categories, transmitting only essential information in real-time to minimize transmission time, while detailed information can be transmitted later or omitted based on communication conditions. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing timely essential data without the time penalty of transmitting all data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by transmitting only the essential portion of casting information (casting number, date/time, key parameters) rather than complete information. This partial transmission achieves the goal of timely information delivery while avoiding the time cost of transmitting comprehensive data sets.
3Loss of information
If transmission continues during ongoing castings, then the information freshness is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses preliminary action by transmitting essential casting information immediately when the casting event is detected and the basic parameters are available, rather than waiting for complete data collection. This approach maintains information freshness while avoiding the complexity of continuous data gathering and buffering during the casting process.

AI summary
A fishing information management system includes a fishing reel and an external information communication terminal capable of communicating with the fishing reel, transmits casting information from the fishing reel to the external information communication terminal each time a cast is performed, and is configured to stop the transmission of the casting information on the last cast but one, and to transmit at least part of the casting information on the last cast, when the casting information on the last cast but one is not transmitted or has not been completely transmitted to the external information communication terminal upon the ending of the last cast.
