Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of rights is not limited or limited by these embodiments. The same reference numerals in each drawing denote the same members.

The terminology used in the description below has been selected to be general and universal in the related technical field, but may have other terms depending on technology development and/or changes, conventions, and preferences of the technician. Therefore, the terms used in the following description should not be understood as limiting the technical idea, but should be understood as exemplary terms for describing the embodiments.

Also, in certain cases, some terms are arbitrarily selected by the applicant, and in this case, detailed meanings will be described in the corresponding description. Therefore, the terms used in the description below should be understood based on the meaning of the term and the entire contents of the specification, not just the name of the term.

1 shows a fishing rod reel according to one embodiment. Fishing rod reel according to an embodiment is composed of a level wind 110, a drag 120, a handle 130, a mechanical brake 140, a clutch 150, a brake 160 and an electronic device 170 Can be.

Level Wind (110) allows the line to be evenly wound on the spool. In the case of turning the handle, the level wind performs a reciprocating motion from side to side, and as the level wind moves left and right, the line can be evenly wound without bunching on either side of the spool. Drag (120) can adjust the degree of loosening of the spool according to the applied force. When casting and reeling the handle (130), the clutch (150) automatically returns to its original position so that the line is not released. In the case of reeling, even if the hand is released from the handle 130, the line is prevented from being released by the clutch 150 again.

As the mechanical brake (140) is tightened, the spool shaft is adjusted according to the weight of the luer by pressing the spool shaft. A backlash phenomenon may be prevented by the mechanical brake 140. The backlash means a phenomenon in which the line is twisted due to a difference in the line emission amount by the luer and the line emission amount by the spool. More specifically, when the line emission amount by the spool is greater than the line emission amount by the lure, backlash occurs, and the spool is held with a thumb or the mechanical brake is used to slow down the rotation speed of the spool to prevent backlash. .

The clutch 150 functions as a veil of spinning, and is also referred to as a thumb bar. The clutch prevents the line from being released again.

The brake 160 may be a centrifugal brake or a magnetic brake, and complement the mechanical brake 140 using a centrifugal force or a load by a magnetic field to adjust the rotation speed of the spool.

The electronic device 170 may be attached to one side of the fishing rod reel to sense at least one of gyro data and acceleration data. The electronic device 170 may provide gyro data and acceleration data to a user terminal to analyze information on motion, speed, and the like of throwing a fishing rod.

The fishing reel detachable from the fishing rod may include a rotating part that rotates so that the fishing line is wound, a handle that transmits driving force to rotate the rotating part, and a housing that fixes the rotating part and the handle. The electronic device may be attached to one side of the housing, and the gyro sensor chip 221 measures the rotational angular velocity in a plurality of directions of the housing. In addition, the acceleration sensor chip 222 may measure acceleration in at least one direction of the housing.

Specifically, the gyro sensor chip 221 may measure the rotational angular velocity with respect to the direction in which the user throws the fishing rod. In addition, the angular velocity of rotation in the vertical direction and the direction of throwing the fishing rod can be measured together. In the vertical direction, when the direction in which the fishing rod is thrown is referred to as the X-axis direction, the maximum angular velocity in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions can be measured. That is, if the direction the user is looking at is the throwing direction of the fishing rod, the rotational angular velocity of the user's left and right and up and down directions can be measured.

Using the measured information, it is possible to calculate the throwing information or throwing speed, etc. for the up and down and left and right directions of the fishing rod thrown by the user, and by using this, the user can check his throwing motion using a separate application. have.

And the throwing height of a fishing rod can be calculated using the rotational angular velocity of the up-down direction with respect to the throwing direction. Meanwhile, the throwing speed of the fishing rod may be calculated using the acceleration data measured by the acceleration sensor chip 222, and the throwing distance may also be calculated. Measured by the gyro sensor chip 221 and the acceleration sensor chip 222. Data about the angular velocity and acceleration collected and collected may communicate with an external device through the communication chip 230. The communication chip 230 serves to establish a communication connection with an external device and exchange data. In addition, the processor 210 controls the communication unit so that the collected data can be transmitted to an external device.

When using a fishing rod reel to which an electronic device is attached, various information related to fishing can be calculated using acceleration data and angular velocity data. A posture for throwing a fishing rod, a throwing direction, a throwing speed, a throwing distance, and the like may be calculated, and according to an embodiment, an application installed on a user terminal may be used to display the user. The information calculated is only exemplary, and various information calculated using angular velocity and acceleration information is possible.

According to another embodiment, the sensor chip 220 may further include a force sensor chip. The force sensor chip (not shown) can measure the magnitude of the force applied to the fishing line. The weight of the caught fish may be calculated using the force information measured by the force sensor chip and the acceleration information measured by the acceleration sensor chip.

More specifically, it is possible to measure the rotational angular velocity in a direction perpendicular to the up and down and left and right with respect to the throwing direction of the fishing rod. It is possible to measure a plurality of directions using a single gyro sensor, and in some cases, a method including a plurality of gyro sensors is also possible. In the acceleration measurement step 420, the acceleration with respect to the throwing direction of the fishing rod may be measured by way of example and not limitation. In some cases, it is also possible to measure acceleration in multiple directions.
