Description

Fishing rod theft and loss prevention device { Fishing rod theft and loss prevention device}

The present invention relates to a device that is mounted on a fishing rod and can prevent theft and loss of the fishing rod by linking with an application through a user terminal such as a smartphone.

Recently, with the improvement of living standards, participation in leisure and sports activities has increased, and interest in fishing while appreciating the scenery in lakes, rivers, or the sea has also increased, and as a result, demand for expensive fishing rods is increasing.

Especially in the case of freshwater fishing, there are many cases where the fishing rod is fixed for a long time and rested, and depending on the species of fish, fishing is often done at night or even until dawn, so there is a high risk of the fishing rod being lost to the fish while the user is resting, or in the case of an expensive fishing rod, being stolen.

Previously, there was a system that detected when a fishing rod was detached and notified the user, but there was a problem that the noise could cause nearby fish to run away or cause damage to nearby anglers by notifying the user that the rod was stolen even when it was detached by a fish.

Additionally, there is no platform where anglers can share information about stolen fishing rods, making it difficult to recover lost fishing rods.

FIG. 8 is a drawing showing the initial screen of an application displayed on a screen of a user terminal linked with a fishing rod theft and loss prevention device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The application connected to the fishing rod theft and loss prevention device is a program that the user can download and install on the user terminal, and the user terminal can install and use the application including a smartphone, tablet PC, etc., and all devices capable of wired and wireless communication can be applied without limitation.

Referring to Figure 8, the initial screen of the application consists of a login tab (T1), an equipment connection management tab (T2), an alarm management tab (T3), an item location map tab (T4), a device management tab (T5), a notification to other users tab (T6), and a voice connection tab (T7).

When you select the login tab (T1), you can log in and sign up by entering your ID and password.

When you select the Equipment Connection Management tab (T2), you can check the currently connected devices and register or disconnect new devices.

When the alarm management tab (T3) is selected, the operation method and intensity of the light unit (500) and speaker unit (600) can be selected, and the alarm can be terminated.

For example, when the application determines theft or loss, it can operate only one of the light unit (500) or the speaker unit (600), or operate both, and can select the intensity and blinking cycle of the light unit (500), and can select the volume and type of sound of the speaker unit (600). In addition, it can transmit a voice message from the speaker unit (600) saying, "This fishing rod is a stolen fishing rod."

In addition, when terminating an alarm through the alarm management tab (T3) or the power supply (800) of the device, the application can verify the identity of the user through the user terminal and terminate the alarm only if the user is the user.

When you select the Item Location Map tab (T4), you can check the location of devices with GPS connection functions, and the distance from the user, arrival time, and arrival method can be output.

For example, the user's terminal can check whether there is another user's device within a Bluetooth connection range, connect to it, and notify the other user of this fact along with the user's location, so that the other user can check the location of his or her device outside of the Bluetooth range. In addition, users can communicate with each other through chat, etc., so that information about stolen fishing rods can be shared among anglers.

When the voice connection tab (T7) is selected, the device and user terminal can be connected by voice, so that the user's voice is transmitted and the user's intention is directly conveyed to the thief.

FIG. 9 is a drawing of a method for determining whether a fishing rod has been stolen or lost by an application connected to a fishing rod theft and loss prevention device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fishing rod theft and loss prevention device according to an embodiment of the present invention may also include a sensor unit (not shown), and the sensor unit may include a shock detection sensor that detects shock applied to the fishing rod, a motion sensor that detects motion of an object around the fishing rod, and a contact detection sensor that detects contact between the fishing rod and the device.

A shock detection sensor and a motion sensor may be provided in the case (300), and a contact detection sensor may be provided in the grip portion (100), and may be formed in the first contact portion (112) of the first grip portion (110) and the second contact portion (122) of the second grip portion (120), respectively, to detect contact with a fishing rod. The control unit (400) detects a signal from the sensor portion and transmits it to a user terminal, and an application of the user terminal can determine theft or loss of the fishing rod through this signal.

Referring to Fig. 9, first, the shock detection sensor of the device can detect the movement of the fishing rod (S11). When the control unit (400) transmits this shock signal to the user terminal, the application enables the control unit (400) to transmit the motion signal detected by the motion sensor to the user terminal, thereby determining whether there is a person (S11). The motion sensor can be used without limitation on the type as long as it is a sensor that can detect the movement or existence of an object, such as an infrared, ultrasonic, or laser sensor.

Here, the application can determine that the impact is caused by a person if motion is detected, and can determine that the impact is caused by a fish if no motion is detected. If it is determined that the impact is caused by a fish, a loss alarm (S15) caused by a fish can be sent to the user terminal or device.

For example, when a loss alarm (S15) by a fish is loudly generated by the speaker unit (600), the fish may run away due to the noise and may disturb other anglers resting nearby, so it may be set to operate only by the light unit (500), and this can be set in the alarm management tab (T3) of the application.

On the other hand, if it is determined that a human impact has occurred, it is possible to determine whether to release the device or disable Bluetooth (S14), or to notify the user terminal that a human impact has occurred.

When the device is detected to be released from the contact detection sensor or when Bluetooth is turned off, the application can have the user verify his/her identity (S17) through the user terminal. This can be done by entering a password, pattern, etc., or through a biometric method such as fingerprint, face, or iris recognition, and any method utilized in the industry can be used without limitation.

If the identity is confirmed, the theft or loss determination is terminated without reporting the theft (S18). On the other hand, if the identity is not confirmed within a specified time, the theft can be reported to the user terminal or device (S16).

Meanwhile, in the step of detecting the movement of the fishing rod by the shock detection sensor of the device (S11), if the movement of the fishing rod is not detected, but the device release is detected or Bluetooth is disabled, the status of the device can be notified through the user terminal (S19), and if the device or Bluetooth is not disabled, the theft or loss determination can be terminated without theft notification (S18).

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented in this specification, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention will be able to easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components within the scope of the same spirit, but this will also be considered to fall within the spirit of the present invention.
