A handle operation assist device includes a handle angular velocity measuring unit, an error calculator and a notification unit. The handle angular velocity measuring unit is configured to measure a handle angular velocity based on an output of a sensor configured to detect an angular velocity corresponding to rotation of a fishing reel handle. The error calculator is configured to calculate an error in the handle angular velocity with respect to a reference angular velocity. The notification unit is configured to carry out notification regarding the error.

This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-190252, filed on Oct. 5, 2018. The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-190252 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a handle operation assist device and a handle operation assist program.
In convention fishing rhythm transmitter technology, a winding rhythm of a reel corresponding to each rotation is calculated based on a recommended retrieval speed corresponding to a moved object, such as a lure, and the winding length per one rotation of the reel handle, and the calculated winding rhythm is reported (for example, refer to Japanese Patent No. 6200787).
FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a configuration example of a handle operation assist system according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the handle operation assist system according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a view illustrating an example of a case in which an error in the handle angular velocity is reported by means of sound according to the present embodiment.
An example of a handle operation assist system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The handle operation assist system in the drawing comprises a spinning reel 100 and a user terminal 200 (one example of a handle operation assist device).
The spinning reel 100 is a type of fishing reel and is attached to a rod R when a user wishes to fish. As shown in FIG. 1, the spinning reel 100 is attached to the rod R by being mounted on a reel attachment pedestal (reel sheet), not shown, disposed on the rod R.
The user terminal 200 is a terminal device that is carried by the user. The user terminal 200 may be a smartphone, for example or a tablet or any other suitable device. If the user terminal 200 is a terminal such as a smartphone, an application corresponding to the handle operation assist (handle operation assist application) is installed in the user terminal 200. The user terminal 200 may be, for example, a dedicated terminal specialized to the handle operation assist function of the present embodiment.
