Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fishing rod technologies lack the ability to detect, record, and reproduce the entire fishing state, including the period between casting and landing, limiting the simulation and analysis of fishing actions.

Innovation Solution

A fishing state management device equipped with a grip portion, vibration generation unit, detection unit, recording unit, and processing unit to detect, record, and reproduce fishing states, including movement, vibration, tension, and line length, and allow data sharing and display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a device capable of simulating a fishing rod is used, then a predetermined experience of fishing can be obtained, but the simulation is limited merely to the fish bite state and cannot reproduce the entire fishing process from casting to landing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation coverageVSAvoidfishing state information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The fishing rod is divided into multiple sections with different detection units positioned at strategic locations (tip, middle, grip portion). Each detection unit monitors specific parameters (vibration, acceleration, tension, line length) to comprehensively capture the entire fishing process from casting to landing, not just the fish bite moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system integrates multiple types of sensors (vibration detection unit, acceleration detection unit, tension detection unit, line length detection unit) that can detect various fishing states including casting, line dropping, fish biting, and landing. This multi-functional approach enables comprehensive reproduction of the entire fishing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If a detection device for nibble is used, then fish bite can be detected, but it is difficult to know the state between casting and landing other than fish bite

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefish bite detectionVSAvoidfishing process information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of fishing states before fish biting occurs, including casting motion, line dropping to water, and bait presentation. By continuously monitoring vibration, acceleration, tension, and line length from the beginning of the fishing action, the system captures complete fishing process information rather than only the fish bite moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides continuous feedback about the fishing state through the vibration generation unit that reproduces detected vibrations in the grip portion. This feedback mechanism allows the user to感知 different fishing stages (casting, line dropping, fish approaching, biting, landing) and improves both detection accuracy and information retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If multiple detection units are integrated into the fishing rod, then comprehensive fishing state detection is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefishing state dataVSAvoiddetection system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple detection units (vibration, acceleration, tension, line length) are merged into a single integrated detection system within the fishing rod. The control unit centrally processes data from all sensors, and the vibration generation unit provides unified feedback, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The fishing rod is designed as a multi-functional platform that combines fishing functionality with comprehensive detection and feedback capabilities. A single integrated system performs multiple functions: detecting various fishing states, processing data, and providing vibration feedback, thereby managing complexity while achieving information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
