Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fishing information management system including fishing tools that has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, comprising:
an operation/environment information detector configured to detect information on operation and operation environment of the fishing tools when in use including the fishing reel and the fishing rod, the operation/environment information detector being configured to detect unwinding of the fishing line;
a storage configured to store the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools when in use, the information on the operation and the operation environment being:
categorized into a plurality of types of information,
divided for each timing when the operation/environment information detector detects unwinding of the fishing line, and
arranged in sequence so as to be listed; and

a processor programed to
cause a display to display:
a list view having the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment for each of a plurality of times of casting and dropping, the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment being selectable by a user and the plurality of times being selectable by the user,
a detailed view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools at a first time of the plurality of times, and
a 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, wherein the statistical information view comprises a graph having a first axis representing a hit score and a second axis representing a rig retrieving speed, and wherein a display mode of the display is switchable among the list view, the detailed view, and the statistical information view,

in response to the first time of the plurality of times being selected by the user, switch from the list view to the detailed view of the first time of the plurality of times, and
in response to a first type of the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment being selected by the user, switch from the list view to the statistical information view, the statistical information view including the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools for the first type.

2. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the fishing tools include at least the fishing reel, the fishing rod, the fishing line, a hook, or a rig.

3. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of information on the operation environment of the fishing tools includes at least a start time and an end time for the use of the fishing tools, a weather condition when the fishing tools are used, and a location where the fishing tools are used.

4. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the operation/environment information detector includes at least a reel operation information detector configured to detect operation information of the fishing reel, and a fishing rod operation information detector configured to detect operation information of the fishing rod.

5. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing reel includes at least one of a pulled-out amount of a drag of the fishing reel, a pulling-out speed of the drag of the fishing reel, a spool rotation start point, a spool rotation end point, a spool diameter, a maximum rotation speed of the spool, a rotation speed history of the spool, a brake setting, a motion of the fishing rod, and backlash information.

6. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing rod includes at least one of a speed, an acceleration, a deformation amount, and a motion of, and a method of casting, a fishing rod.

7. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programed to cause the display to display another graph which the first axis includes either skill information or bite information, and the second axis includes any one of time, position information, weather information, or operation information.

8. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the hit score relates to catching fish.

9. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the detailed view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools at the first time of the plurality of times includes at least values of the hit score related to catching fish or information on the fish caught.

10. The fishing information management system according to claim 9 , wherein the information on the fish caught includes image data of the fish.

11. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of types of information on the operation and operation environment includes a lure used for each casting and dropping, and
the graph includes a plurality of lines representing the hit score as a function of the retrieving speed for a plurality of the lures.
