Description

IoT smart lure system {IoT smart lure system}

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an IoT smart lure system.

The traditional method for detecting fish is to detect vibrations through bait (needle) -> branch line -> leash -> main line -> reel -> fishing rod, and bait (needle) -> fishing rod. There is a method to visually detect the movement of the float on the water line -> leash -> raw line -> water. Recent smart technologies can also be seen as an extension of the traditional method by measuring the momentum of a fishing rod or float above the water and transmitting it to the angler. This method has the disadvantage that it can be mistaken for a fish body despite waves, wind, and underwater topography changes on the surface, and that it is difficult to accurately and quickly deliver the fish body if the line is long. Moreover, in egg fishing, which requires accurately identifying and catching a fish at the moment it lightly grabs the bait, prior technology had limitations in detecting bite information.

In some examples, the rotary fish 101 is installed at the front of the smart lure 100 and fixed to the fishing line, and the lure head 102 may be connected to the rotary fish 101 through the stress sensor 131b. Therefore, when the target fish bites the egg needle 104 or fishing hook rig 107 coupled to the rear of the lure head 102, stress is applied to the smart lure 100, and the stress sensor 131b detects this to control the lure. Stress changes may be transmitted to the module 120.

In some examples, the light quantity sensor 131a may be mounted on the surface of the luer head 102. Therefore, when water touches the lure head 102, the light quantity sensor 131a can detect this and transmit the change in light quantity to the lure control module 102.
