Fishing Reel Event Data for Casting and Drop Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing reels lack the ability to transmit and display a variety of fishing information beyond basic line length measurements, limiting the utility for fishermen.
Innovation Solution
A fishing information management system that includes a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line, equipped with sensors to detect operation and environment information, which can display this data in selectable modes such as list, detailed, and statistical views, using a fishing rod, reel, and external devices to gather and process fishing data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a fishing reel displays only basic line length measurement information, then the device complexity is low, but the information completeness is insufficient for fishermen's needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary to transmit fishing data between the reel and external devices (smartphones, tablets). This allows comprehensive fishing information to be displayed on external devices without adding complex display hardware to the reel itself, thus improving information completeness while keeping the reel's device complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multiple detection functions within the reel system, including line length measurement, winding speed detection, and casting distance measurement. By integrating these multi-functional detection capabilities into a single reel system, the patent improves information completeness while achieving functional consolidation rather than adding separate devices.
2Loss of information
If multiple types of fishing information are collected and displayed, then the information completeness improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a display mode switching mechanism that allows fishermen to dynamically select between different information presentation modes (detailed view, list view, statistical view) based on their immediate needs. This dynamic adaptability enables comprehensive information to be available while maintaining ease of operation through user-friendly interface selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments fishing information into different categories and display modes: detailed information for specific events, list information for multiple events, and statistical information for analysis. This segmentation allows fishermen to access only the type of information they need at any given moment, reducing information overload while maintaining comprehensive data availability.
3Loss of information
If detailed information is displayed for each casting and dropping, then the information completeness improves, but the productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming data analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent automatically performs data processing and statistical calculations in the background as fishing events occur, preparing information in advance for different display modes. This preliminary action ensures that when fishermen need information, it is already processed and ready for immediate display, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual analysis and improving fishing productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates multiple copies of the same fishing data in different formats and organizational structures (detailed records, summarized lists, statistical aggregates). These pre-prepared copies allow fishermen to access information in the most convenient format for their current needs without requiring time-consuming data transformation or analysis, thus improving productivity while maintaining information completeness.

AI summary
A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool is attached, and includes an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use, a storage that stores the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools when in use, a display that displays said information, wherein the display is capable of displaying at least one of the list view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools for each casting and dropping, the detailed view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools at the predetermined time of casting and dropping, or the statistical information view of statistical information calculated from the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools for each casting and dropping.
