DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A golf simulation video game apparatus using the Internet according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a personal computer (P
C), a central processing unit (CPU), a storage device, a display device, an input / output device, and the like are provided, and each player uses a self-contained or Internet-based golf course at home using application software. A golf game in a tournament format can be played on a simulation golf course based on detailed data. Reference numeral 2 denotes a golf course terminal, which is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU), a storage device, a display device, an input / output device, etc., is installed at an existing famous golf course, and has a daily rough length, green grass cutting. It is possible to provide course conditions such as condition and pin position, and weather information such as weather, temperature, wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, and humidity. Reference numeral 3 denotes a golf game server, which includes a central processing unit (CPU), a storage device, a display device, an input / output device, and the like. The storage device has a personal code data file, a golf course data file, A central processing unit (CPU) processes a golf tournament-type game access from the personal computer 1 and a course condition and weather information from the golf course terminal 2.
The personal computer 1, golf course terminal 2, and golf game server 3 are connected to the Internet 5 via a communication device 4 such as a telephone line.

The golf game server 3 transmits a personal information input screen in response to communication from each player participating in the open tournament, and transmits personal code data based on personal code information transmitted from each player. Searching means for searching for a file; charging means for charging each player based on the search result of the searching means; and after the charging, the golf course data of the golf tour on the day of the open tournament of the existing golf course for each player (rough length , Data transmission means for transmitting course conditions such as the degree of cutting of green grass, pin position, etc., and weather information such as weather, temperature, wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, humidity, etc.) and a score transmitted from each player at the end of the game Ranking is performed based on storage means for storing cards and scorecards stored and stored for a certain period of time. , Formed by a ranking means for performing the results announcement. Furthermore, a prize acquirer file obtained by pooling a part of the fee paid as a participation fee in order to present a prize or a prize to the top performer of the tournament, and, when requested by each player, the prize acquirer file. It is provided with a presenting means for presenting a prize or a prize by searching.

Next, the operation of the golf simulation video game device of the present invention will be described. 1. Each player launches application software on the personal computer 1, selects an open tournament from the initial screen of the golf game,

Each player can play a golf game on the personal computer 1 by automatically loading the golf course data transmitted from the golf game server 3 into the game software. It is possible to participate in the tournament by accessing an international open tournament held at any time on the Internet, for example, the British Open, and entering a personal code. At that time, the system is charged for each game.

[0008] 6. After the game is over, each player selects card submission from the score card submission screen, and sends the score card to the golf game server 3. 7. The golf game server 3 stores the score card transmitted from each personal computer 1, stores the score card for a certain period of time, performs ranking based on the stored and saved score card, and announces the score. After the game, each player can choose whether to submit the scorecard to the tournament organizer on the Internet or not.
The organizer announces the results of each player on the Internet. 8. The golf game server 3 presents a part of the charge to the top performer as a prize or a prize, and adds the prize or the prize of the top performer to the prize acquirer file of the golf game server 3. In addition, we pool a part charged as participation fee,
In order to present a prize or a prize to the top performer of the tournament, a prize prize acquirer file is formed in the golf game server 3 and, when requested by each player, the prize prize acquirer file is searched for the prize or the prize. Is presented. 9.
