Detailed Description

< embodiment 1 >

Hereinafter, a fishing-use electric reel 1 as a line length management device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the following description, the case where the electric reel 1 for fishing is a dual-bearing reel will be exemplified. In fig. 1 and 2, the scale of each structural member may be changed as needed so that the size of each structural member can be visually confirmed.

[ construction example of electric reel for fishing ]

Fig. 1 and 2 show an external appearance example of an electric fishing reel 1 according to the present embodiment. The electric reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment mainly includes a reel body 2 that can be attached to a fishing rod not shown in the drawings, a handle 3 that is rotatably attached to the reel body 2 about a handle axis O1, a spool 4 that is rotatable to the reel body 2 about a spool axis O2 parallel to the handle axis O1 and around which a fishing line not shown in the drawings is wound, and a clutch mechanism 6 having a clutch lever 5.

The electric fishing reel 1 of the present embodiment includes a motor (not shown), and the motor (not shown) is disposed in a motor housing tube 7 provided in the reel body 2 to rotationally drive the spool 4.

The electric reel 1 for fishing is provided with a motor mount 9, and the motor mount 9 is combined with the reel body 2 so as to close the motor housing tube 7, and the motor is fixed to the reel body 2.

In the present embodiment, the handle axis O1 and the spool axis O2 are arranged parallel to each other, and the direction along these axes is defined as the left-right direction L1. Further, a direction perpendicular to the left-right direction L1 and along the line paying-out direction wound around the reel 4 is defined as a front-rear direction L2.

Further, the direction in which the fishing line is paid out from the reel 4 is defined as the front in the front-rear direction L2, the opposite direction is defined as the rear, and the line of sight of the fishing reel 1 is defined as the left-right direction when viewed from the rear side (user side). Accordingly, fig. 1 is a perspective view of the fishing reel 1 as seen obliquely upward and leftward and rearward.

The reel body 2 includes a main body frame 10, side covers 20 covering both left and right sides of the main body frame 10, and a front cover 30 covering a front side of the main body frame 10.

The main body frame 10 is a molded part made of, for example, synthetic resin or metal (for example, aluminum casting). The main body frame 10 includes a 1 st side wall 11 and a 2 nd side wall 12 arranged to face each other in the left-right direction L1 via the roll 4, and a connecting member 13 connecting the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 to each other in the left-right direction L1.

The 1 st side wall 11 is a left side wall disposed on the left side (LH) with respect to the roll 4. In contrast, the 2 nd side wall 12 is a right side wall disposed on the right side (RH) with respect to the roll 4. The handle 3 is disposed on the right side (RH) of the 2 nd side wall 12, and is attached to the main body frame 10 by the 2 nd side wall 12.

Therefore, the fishing-use electric reel 1 of the present embodiment is a right-hand grip type reel. The 2 nd side wall 12 is formed to protrude downward from the 1 st side wall 11 in terms of attachment of the joint portion 23 and the like.

The connecting member 13 is formed in a plate shape connecting the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 to each other in the left-right direction L1, and is disposed in the vicinity of the lower portion of the 1 st side wall 11. Thus, the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 are firmly connected via the connecting member 13.

In addition, a mounting leg piece 14 for mounting the fishing electric reel 1 to a fishing rod is formed to extend in the front-rear direction L2 at a central portion of the connecting member 13 in the left-right direction L1.

At least the motor housing tube 7, the spool 4, the clutch lever 5, and the like, which house the motor therein, are disposed between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 in the main body frame 10 configured as described above.

The spool 4 is disposed between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 so as to be located on the rear side of the handle axis O1. The motor housing tube 7 is disposed between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 so as to be located on the front side of the handle axis O1. Therefore, the electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment is of a so-called off-reel motor type in which the motor is disposed on the front side of the reel 4.

The side cover 20 includes a 1 st side cover 21 that is combined with the main body frame 10 so as to cover the 1 st side wall 11 in which the opening of the motor housing tube 7 is formed from the left side (LH), and a 2 nd side cover 22 that is combined with the main body frame 10 so as to cover the 2 nd side wall 12 from the right side (RH).

The 1 st side cover 21 is formed so as to bulge to the Left (LH), and is screwed to the 1 st side wall 11, for example.

The 2 nd side cover 22 is formed so as to bulge Rightward (RH), and is screwed to the 2 nd side wall 12, for example.

In a portion of the 2 nd side cover 22 located at the front lower portion, a power supply cord for supplying electric power from an external power supply or a joint portion 23 for connecting a mobile power supply is fitted in a state where a connection end, not shown in the drawing, is downward. In the drawings, the connection end is protected by the protection cap 24.

The front cover 30 is combined with the main body frame 10 so as to cover the front portion of the main body frame 10 from the front. Specifically, the front cover 30 is combined with the front portions of the 1 st and 2 nd side walls 11 and 12 in such a manner as to cover the motor accommodation cylinder 7 from the front, and is fixed, for example, by screws with respect to the 1 st and 2 nd side walls 11 and 12. The front cover 30 is attached so as not to block the movement region of the horizontal wire twister 55 described later.

A counter case 40 is provided at the upper portion of the main body frame 10 configured as described above. The counter case 40 is fixed to the upper portion of the 1 st side wall 11 and the upper portion of the 2 nd side wall 12 in a state of being arranged between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12, for example, by screw fixation or the like.

The upper surface of the main body of the counter housing 40 is configured to display an operation panel 41. The display operation panel 41 is a portion for performing display to a user using the fishing-use electric reel 1 and operation of an operation tool such as a button or a switch by the user.

The handle 3 is used for an operation of manually winding up the fishing line. The handle 3 is disposed on the right side (RH) of the main body frame 10 and the 1 st side cover 21. The handle 3 includes a handle shaft portion 50 rotatably disposed about a handle axis O1, a handle arm 51 non-rotatably fitted to the handle shaft portion 50, and a handle grip 52 rotatably fitted to an end portion of the handle arm 51 about an axis parallel to the handle axis O1.

A drag device 53 (star drag device) disposed coaxially with the handle axis O1 is provided between the handle arm 51 and the 1 st side cover 21. The drag device 53 applies an arbitrary drag force to the spool 4 to brake the rotation of the spool 4 when winding the fishing line, thereby contributing to suppression of the cutting action of the fishing line.

The rotational torque from the handle 3 thus constituted is directly transmitted to the spool 4 via a rotation transmission mechanism not shown in the drawings when the clutch mechanism 6 is in the clutch-on state.

In the present embodiment, the so-called one-handle type in which the handle grip 52 is attached to one end of the handle arm 51 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this case. For example, a so-called two-handle type electric fishing reel 1 may be configured such that a handle grip 52 is attached to both ends of a handle arm 51 and a central portion of the handle arm 51 is attached to a handle shaft portion 50 so as not to be rotatable.

The spool 4 is disposed between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 of the frame body, and is rotatably supported by each of the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 about a spool axis O2 via a bearing not shown in the figure.

The spool 4 includes a spool rotation shaft portion, not shown, which rotates about the spool axis O2, and a spool body portion 4a which is disposed coaxially with the spool rotation shaft portion and rotates in conjunction with the spool rotation shaft portion.

The clutch mechanism 6 can be switched between a clutch-on state in which rotational torque from the handle 3 can be transmitted to the spool 4 via a rotation transmission mechanism not shown in the drawings and a clutch-off state in which transmission is disabled by operation of the clutch lever 5. Accordingly, in the clutch-on state, the handle 3 is rotated, so that the rotational torque associated with the rotation operation of the handle 3 can be transmitted to the spool 4, and the spool 4 can be rotated about the spool axis O2. Thereby, a manual winding operation can be performed.

When the clutch mechanism 6 is in the clutch-off state, the rotational torque associated with the rotational operation of the handle 3 is not transmitted to the spool 4, and the spool 4 is in a freely rotatable state (spool-free state).

The clutch lever 5 is a switching lever for switching the clutch mechanism 6 between a clutch on state and a clutch off state. The clutch lever 5 is disposed between the 1 st side wall 11 and the 2 nd side wall 12 at a position rearward of the spool 4, and is movable up and down so as to swing about the spool axis O2.

The rotation transmission mechanism is configured to transmit the rotation torque to the spool 4 in a state in which the rotation of the handle 3 is accelerated. Further, the rotation transmission mechanism is configured to transmit not only the rotational torque associated with the rotation operation of the handle 3 to the spool 4 but also to a horizontal wire twisting mechanism (not shown) when the clutch mechanism 6 is in the clutch-on state. The horizontal wire twister mechanism is a mechanism for uniformly winding the fishing line around the spool 4 without being biased to one side.

Further, the rotation transmission mechanism can transmit the rotation torque associated with the driving of the motor to the spool 4 when the motor is driven with the clutch mechanism 6 in the clutch-on state. Thereby, an automatic winding operation can be performed. The rotation transmission mechanism transmits the rotational torque to the spool 4 without decelerating the rotation of the motor.

[ concerning zero setting processing and winding length display ]

The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment can calculate and store the length (winding length) of the fishing line wound around the spool 4.

In addition, in actual fishing, for example, in a state where a fishing line is in water in a fishing line end mounted, there is a case where "high-position disconnection" occurs in which the fishing line is disconnected halfway, not in the fishing line section. When the high-level disconnection occurs, the fishing line discharged from the spool 4 is short of a length corresponding to a portion of the fishing line that is closer to the end than the high-level disconnection position. Accordingly, the high-level disconnection occurs, and the winding length becomes shorter in accordance with the length of the fishing line that is lost due to the high-level disconnection.

Since the amount of reduction in the winding length due to the high-level disconnection is relatively large, there is a possibility that a problem such as the inability to feed the fishing line set to the target water depth (fish (square)) occurs depending on the winding length after the high-level disconnection. Therefore, it is preferable that the user can immediately grasp what the remaining winding length is wound around the spool after the high-position disconnection.

Therefore, as described below, the fishing reel 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to notify the user of the winding length after the high-level disconnection in association with the high-level disconnection.

High-order disconnection occurs in real fishing. In this case, the user performs, for example, the following operations: the fishing line is wound around the reel 4 to a payout length that enables the fishing line to be attached to the end of the fishing line after the fishing line is disconnected at a high position. The user reattaches the fishing line to the end of the fishing line. In the stage of reconnecting the fishing line in this way, the electric reel 1 for fishing measures the water depth displayed by the display unit, and the user winds the fishing line to a certain extent as described above to display a value shallower than the water depth measured at the time of high-level disconnection, but still displays a value of a considerable degree of water depth. Therefore, the user performs the zero setting operation in a state where the fishing line is aligned with the water surface, for example.

The zero setting operation is an operation indicating zero setting processing. In correspondence with the zero setting operation, the fishing-use electric reel 1 sets the current reel revolution number to zero (resets) as the zero setting process.

A zero reel revolution indicates a zero water depth. The water depth is increased (deepened) in accordance with the reel rotation number changing in accordance with the line being released from the state where the reel rotation number is zero. In the present embodiment, the measured water depth is treated as the length of the fishing line (the payout length) paid out from the spool 4.

By performing the zero setting operation in response to the high-level disconnection in this way, the water depth can be set again so as to be suitable for the discharge position of the fishing line after the high-level disconnection.

As the zero setting process corresponding to the zero setting operation of the present embodiment, two different processes of the high-order disconnection correction and the tension correction can be selectively performed. The zero setting process as the high-order disconnection correction corresponds to the case of the high-order disconnection as described above. The tension correction is zero setting processing executed in response to an error caused by a non-zero water depth when the fishing line is positioned on the water surface, for example, by a tension acting on the fishing line.

The high-order disconnection correction and the tension correction are different in the content of the process performed as the zero setting process. In this way, the high-order disconnection correction and the tension correction may be instructed by different operations. However, the user is the same in performing zero setting, and therefore, for example, the user can perform common zero setting operation.

The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment performs one of the zero setting process of the high-order disconnection correction and the tension correction in accordance with the value of the water depth measured at the time of the zero setting operation. Specifically, the fishing reel 1 may perform the high-level disconnection correction when the measured water depth value at the time of the zero setting operation is, for example, greater than 10 meters, and may perform the tension correction when the measured water depth value is not greater than 10 meters.

Further, since the high-level disconnection corresponds to the length of the line missing at the end of the high-level disconnection, the spool winding length is reduced. The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment performs the zero setting operation in the process of the sequence performed by the user in response to the high-level disconnection as described above, performs the zero setting process as the high-level disconnection correction in response thereto, and calculates the winding length of the spool 4 again.

The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment stores a winding length in advance. Further, the fishing electric reel 1 calculates the line payout length by counting the number of rotations of the spool, and displays the water depth corresponding to the calculated payout length. The fishing reel 1 can calculate the winding length after the high-level disconnection again by subtracting the payout length immediately before the reset by the zero setting process from the winding length stored up to now. The fishing-use electric reel 1 updates the stored value of the winding length to the recalculated value of the winding length.

The fishing reel 1 displays the updated winding length on the display unit 102. That is, the fishing-use electric reel 1 notifies the user of the winding length that becomes shorter in accordance with the high-level disconnection.

Fig. 3 shows an example of a display mode of the winding length of the display unit 102. In the figure, a mode in which the winding length is displayed on the pop-up window screen PU by the display unit 102 is shown. The pop-up window screen PU of the figure shows that the recalculated winding amount (winding length) is 300 meters.

Such a display of the map is immediately performed by the display unit 102 in response to the user performing the zero setting operation corresponding to the high-order off state. That is, the user can immediately confirm the winding length shortened by the high-level disconnection at the timing of performing the zero setting operation. That is, in the present embodiment, the winding length changed in response to the high-level disconnection is notified to the user at an appropriate timing.

The pop-up window screen PU may be displayed for a predetermined time period of about several seconds, for example, and then may disappear. Alternatively, the pop-up screen PU may disappear in response to a predetermined confirmation operation by the user, for example. The confirmation operation in this case may be an operation to a predetermined button, or may be a predetermined operation to the display surface of the display unit 102 (for example, an operation to tap the area of the pop-up window screen PU) when the display surface of the display unit 102 functions as an operation panel such as a touch panel or a non-contact operation panel.

For example, the winding length may be displayed as one item of the menu screen. However, in this case, the user needs to perform a predetermined operation and perform an operation of tracing back the hierarchy of the screen until the winding length is reached. In contrast, if the display unit 102 displays the data in accordance with the zero setting operation as described above, the user does not need to perform the operation of tracing the hierarchy of the screen as described above. That is, according to the present embodiment, the user can confirm the winding length after the high-order disconnection without boring an operation, and can appropriately notify the user of the winding length in terms of operability.

In the present embodiment, the winding length may be displayed on the menu screen displayed by the user through the operation as described above, in addition to the display of the winding length on the pop-up window screen PU. The winding length displayed in this way is obtained based on the winding length information stored in the winding length information storage section 141.

[ functional configuration example of electric reel for fishing ]

A functional configuration example of the fishing-use electric reel 1 will be described with reference to fig. 4. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in fig. 1 and 2, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

The electric reel 1 for fishing in this figure includes an operation unit 101, a display unit 102, a control unit 103, a storage unit 104, a motor drive circuit 105, a motor 8, a spool 4, and a rotation sensor 106.

The communication unit 107 and the user terminal 200 connected to the communication unit 107 correspond to embodiment 2, and therefore the description thereof is omitted here.

The control unit 103 performs various controls of the fishing-use electric reel 1. The function as the control Unit 103 is realized by a program executed by a central processing Unit (CPU, centralProcessing Unit) provided in the fishing-use electric reel 1.

The control unit 103 includes a calculation unit 131, a reset unit 132, an update unit 133, and a display control unit 134.

The calculating unit 131 calculates the payout length (payout length information). The payout length is the length of the fishing line that is paid out from the spool 4. The calculating unit 131 calculates the payout length based on the spool revolution detected by the rotation sensor 106.

The resetting section 132 performs zero setting processing corresponding to the zero setting operation. The reset unit 132 includes a high-order disconnection correction unit 1321 (an example of the 1 st correction unit) and a tension correction unit 1322 (an example of the 2 nd correction unit) as functional units that execute zero setting processing in response to a zero setting operation.

The high-order disconnection correcting unit 1321 executes zero setting processing as high-order disconnection correction.

The tension correction unit 1322 performs zero setting processing as tension correction. In the resetting section 132, the high-order disconnection correcting section 1321 and the tension correcting section 1322 reset the spool revolution number at the time of performing the zero setting operation to zero as common zero setting processing.

Both the high-order disconnection correcting unit 1321 and the tension correcting unit 1322 reset the spool revolution to zero, and the payout length (corresponding to the water depth) calculated based on the spool revolution is also reset to zero.

The updating unit 133 updates the winding length information in accordance with the zero setting process performed by the high-order disconnection correcting unit 1321 of the resetting unit 132. That is, the update unit 133 performs the zero setting process by the high-order disconnection correction unit 1321 in response to the zero setting operation, subtracts the payout length (payout length information before reset) calculated by the calculation unit 131 immediately before reset from the payout length indicated by the payout length information currently stored in the payout length information storage unit 141, and calculates the payout length after high-order disconnection again. The updating unit 133 updates the winding length information stored in the winding length information storage unit 141 based on the recalculated winding length.

The display control unit 134 displays the information on the winding length indicated by the winding length information updated by the updating unit 133 in accordance with the zero setting process by the high-order disconnection correcting unit 1321 of the resetting unit 132. The display control unit 134 may display the recalculated and updated winding length on the pop-up window screen PU as shown in fig. 3, for example.

The storage unit 104 stores various information corresponding to the fishing reel 1. The storage unit 104 includes a winding length information storage unit 141.

The winding date and time storage unit 142 corresponds to embodiment 3, and therefore, the description thereof will be omitted.

The winding length information storage 141 stores winding length information indicating the length of the fishing line wound around the spool 4 (winding length). The winding length indicated by the winding length information stored in the winding length information storage 141 is updated based on the winding length calculated again by the updating unit 133.

The motor drive circuit 105 drives the motor 8 in accordance with the control of the control unit 103. The control unit 103 changes the duty ratio of the pulse width of the motor drive signal by PWM control, thereby changing the rotational speed of the motor 8.

The rotation sensor 106 detects the spool revolution number, the rotation speed of the spool 4, and the like.

[ example of processing sequence ]

An example of the processing sequence executed in relation to the calculation of the payout length of the fishing electric reel 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of fig. 5.

Step S100: in the fishing-reel electric reel 1, the calculating unit 131 determines whether the spool 4 is in a rotated state based on the detection output of the rotation sensor 106.

Step S102: when it is determined in step S100 that the spool 4 is in the rotated state, the calculating unit 131 obtains the spool revolution number detected by the rotation sensor 106 in accordance with the rotation of the spool 4.

Step S104: the calculating unit 131 calculates the payout length corresponding to the spool revolution acquired in step S102. The calculating unit 131 may store the payout length calculated in step S104 in a storage device such as a random access memory (RAM, random Access Memory) provided in the electric reel 1 for fishing.

An example of the processing sequence executed by the fishing-use electric reel 1 in association with the zero setting processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of fig. 6.

Step S200: the reset unit 132 of the fishing reel 1 waits for zero setting operation.

Step S202: when the zero setting operation is performed, the resetting unit 132 determines whether or not the zero setting operation is performed corresponding to the high-order disconnection. As described above, the resetting unit 132 may determine whether or not the zero setting operation is performed in response to the high-order disconnection, based on whether or not the value of the payout length calculated by the current calculating unit 131 is larger than a predetermined value.

Step S204: when it is determined in step S202 that the zero setting operation is performed in association with the high-order disconnection, the high-order disconnection correcting unit 1321 of the resetting unit 132 executes the zero setting process as the high-order disconnection correction. As the high-order disconnection correction, the high-order disconnection correction unit 1321 resets the number of rotations of the spool currently detected by the rotation sensor 106 to 0, and resets the payout length currently calculated by the calculation unit 131 to 0.

Step S206: the updating unit 133 calculates the winding length again, and updates the winding length information stored in the winding length information storage unit 141 based on the calculated winding length again.

Step S208: the display control unit 134 displays information on the winding length updated (recalculated) in step S206 for a predetermined time on the display unit 102. The display of this step S208 may be performed by the popup window screen PU as illustrated in fig. 3.

Step S210: when it is determined in step S202 that the zero setting operation is not performed in response to the high-level disconnection, the tension correction unit 1322 of the resetting unit 132 executes the zero setting process as the tension correction. As the tension correction, the tension correction unit 1322 resets the number of rotations of the spool currently detected by the rotation sensor 106 to 0 and resets the payout length currently calculated by the calculation unit 131 to 0. The tension correction unit 1322 corrects the length of the fishing line (unit line length) that is paid out from the spool 4 or wound in accordance with the predetermined unit spool revolution that the calculation unit 131 uses to calculate the payout length, by a predetermined calculation. As for the correction of the unit line length, heretofore known operations can be used.

< embodiment 2 >

Next, embodiment 2 will be described. The fishing-reel 1 of the present embodiment includes a communication unit 107. The communication unit 107 communicates with the user terminal 200 via, for example, bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like by short-range wireless communication.

The user terminal 200 is a terminal held by a user who performs fishing with the fishing electric reel 1. The user terminal 200 may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, for example. The user terminal 200 may be installed with a fishing assistance application, for example, related to fishing to assist a user.

The display control unit 134 of the fishing reel 1 according to the present embodiment may display the updated information on the winding length on the display unit 102 in step S208 in fig. 6, and transmit the updated information on the winding length to the fishing assistance application of the user terminal 200 via the communication unit 107. The user terminal 200 displays the received information about the length of the winding on the fishing assistant application. As described above, the display control unit 134 according to the present embodiment can control the display unit of the user terminal 200 to display information on the updated winding length.

For example, the user terminal 200 may display the updated winding length for a predetermined time on a pop-up window screen, as in fig. 3.

< embodiment 3 >

Next, embodiment 3 will be described. The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment can display information on the progress of use of the fishing line currently wound around the spool 4 on the display unit 102.

The information related to the passage of the fishing line may be, for example, the date and time (winding date and time) when the fishing line is first wound around the spool 4. The winding date and time may be a date and time corresponding to when the fishing electric reel 1 stores winding length information indicating the length of the fishing line (initial winding length) wound when the fishing line is first wound around the spool 4 in the winding length information storage 141. The winding date and time may be displayed, for example, to date and time, and may not be displayed with respect to time.

By displaying the winding date and time, the user can grasp how much of the fishing line currently wound on the spool 4 is used.

The fishing-use electric reel 1 of the present embodiment includes a winding date and time storage unit 142 (fig. 1) in the storage unit 104. The winding date and time storage unit 142 stores the winding date and time.

The winding date and time can be displayed in accordance with a predetermined operation of a button or the like provided in the fishing-use electric reel 1. For example, when the user performs an operation to instruct the display of the winding date and time, the display control unit 134 displays the winding date and time stored in the winding date and time storage unit 142 on the display unit 102.

The information related to the passage of use of the fishing line displayed on the display unit 102 may be a period (use period) corresponding to the time from the initial winding of the fishing line on the spool 4 to the present, in addition to the winding date and time. The period of use may be expressed by days, for example.

In addition, by combining with embodiment 2, the display control unit 134 can display information related to the progress of use of the fishing line via the user terminal 200.

< embodiment 4 >

Next, embodiment 3 will be described. The display control unit 134 of the fishing-reel 1 according to the present embodiment may display a mark, a logo, or the like indicating a predetermined mode of updating the winding length by high-level disconnection at a predetermined position of the display unit 102 after finishing displaying the information on the updated winding length on the pop-up window screen PU. By performing such display, the user can recognize that the winding length is shortened by the high-level disconnection, for example, at the time of actual fishing, and can confirm the current winding length by operating the fishing electric reel 1 as needed to display the winding length, for example.

The above-mentioned marks, logos, and the like may also indicate the number of times the high-order disconnection has occurred by a predetermined method. For example, a badge indicating the number of times of occurrence of the high-order disconnection may be marked with a mark, a logo, or the like, and the number of marks, or the like indicates the number of times of occurrence of the high-order disconnection. The number of times of occurrence of the high-level disconnection displayed may indicate the total high-level disconnection of the fishing line currently wound around the reel 4, or may indicate the high-level disconnection corresponding to the actual fishing at this time.

The display of information on the winding length of the present embodiment and the display of information on the progress of the use of the fishing line can be applied to a fishing reel that is not manually wound by the electrically driven reel 4.

Further, a program for realizing the function of the above-described electric fishing reel 1 may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the processing as the above-described electric fishing reel 1 may be performed by causing a computer system to read the program recorded on the recording medium and execute the program. Here, "causing the computer system to read the program recorded on the recording medium to execute" includes installing the program on the computer system. The term "computer system" as used herein includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Further, the "computer system" may also include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication loop such as the internet, WAN, LAN, dedicated loop, or the like. The term "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a removable medium such as a floppy disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, or a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Thus, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. Further, the recording medium also includes a recording medium provided internally or externally for transmitting the program so as to be accessible from the transmission server. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the transmission server may be different from the code of the program in a form executable at the terminal device. That is, the form stored in the transmission server is arbitrary as long as the terminal device can be installed in an executable form by being downloaded from the transmission server. The program may be divided into a plurality of pieces, and the pieces may be downloaded at different timings and then integrated in the terminal device, and the transmission servers for transmitting the divided pieces of the program may be different. Further, the term "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a memory that holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a server in the case of transferring the program via a network and a volatile memory (RAM) in a computer system of a user. The above-described program may be used to realize a part of the above-described functions. Further, the functions may be realized by a combination with a program recorded in a computer system, so-called differential files (differential programs).
