Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for supporting player putting on a golf course green. In particular, the present invention relates to a putting support device, a method, a program, and a foldable mobile phone that improve the success rate of putting.

In recent years, an invention for reading the slope on the green has been proposed against the background of the decrease in the number of caddies on golf courses.
For example, according to Patent Document 1 below, a proposal has been made to measure a tilt between a ball and a hole by attaching a level in the shaft of a golf club.
In Patent Document 2 below, there is a proposal for electronically detecting the tilt and displaying it on an LED (light emitting diode), liquid crystal, or the like.

However, any means does not have a function of indicating the actual putting direction only by measuring the inclination, and does not necessarily lead to an improvement in the success rate of putting.
Conventionally, when putting on the green in golf play, the slope of the arbitrary place between the ball and the hole is measured, the terrain is quantitatively read, the direction of the hit ball and the strength of the hit ball are detected, and the success rate of the put is determined. In order to improve, a leveling case with a leveling level is installed in the hollow shaft of the club shaft of the golf club, and a mounting holding screw for adjusting the horizontal reference level and an adjusting holding spring or level for holding the adjusting position. There is a device comprising a holding spring for stably holding a container case and protecting it from an impact (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Therefore, a shallow hemispherical container and a steel ball that rolls freely. This hemispherical inner surface is a concentric circle centered at the deepest part, and a radial electrode is provided on the inner surface of the cover, and a high-frequency voltage is applied between the opposing electrodes in sequence to place the book on the green surface. Some of the steel balls of the invention can be discriminated between the electrodes by changing the electric capacity, and there are some that can read the inclination angle and orientation of the green accurately and quickly (for example, see Patent Document 2). .

Other conventional techniques include the following.
Conventionally, in order to provide a method for predicting and displaying a putting line from a television image, the surface shape of the green is projected onto the bird's-eye view image, and the three-dimensional coordinate information of the point on the bird's-eye view image is stored. And the bird's-eye view image are displayed on the image monitor device, the bird's-eye view image is subjected to forward conversion of enlargement / reduction / movement, the bird's-eye view image is superimposed on the television image, the coordinates of the ball and cup on the television image are read, The inverse of the forward transformation is added to the above to obtain the position and three-dimensional coordinates of the ball and cup on the bird's-eye view image, and the three-dimensional motion of the ball that is launched at the initial speed and direction such as cup-in from the ball position on the green surface The trajectory is obtained in consideration of the undulation and friction characteristics of the green surface, the 3D motion trajectory is projected onto a bird's-eye view image, and the forward transformation is applied to the projected trajectory. Calculating a putting line on Levi screen, some of which displays it on a television image (e.g., see Patent Document 3).

However, in Patent Document 3, as described above, the player does not have a function of instructing an actual putting direction and does not necessarily lead to an improvement in the success rate of putting.
Conventionally, in order to provide a portable device that provides accurate advice to the player at any golf course or course, the head speed of the swing club using a camera for shooting and a moving image of the club swing of the player is used. A means for measuring the distance from the position of the golf ball to the pin using an image in which the pin is photographed from the position of the golf ball, and a medium on which the course map of the golf course is recorded And a processing means for obtaining an appropriate club, swing strength, and ball launch direction from the calculated head speed, measured distance, and read course map. , Club swing and pin shooting screen, read course map, required club, swing strength, ball hit Display means for displaying the direction, provided on the display surface of the device, some of which having a touch panel input operation is performed (for example, see Patent Document 4).

    However, as described above, Patent Document 4 does not have a function of instructing the player on the actual putting direction on the green, and does not necessarily improve the success rate of putting.

Of the pins 203 photographed by the folding mobile phone 100 is stored as the number of pixels. This utilizes a phenomenon in which the thickness (diameter) of the pin 203 changes depending on the distance from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203 by perspective.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the putting direction data stored in the putting direction data storing unit 111B of the memory unit 111 in FIG. First, the putting direction data (θ) is (+) when putting the golf ball 202 clockwise with respect to the line connecting the pin 203 and the golf ball 202, and (−) when putting counterclockwise (−). ).

  As shown in the figure, the putting direction data storage unit 111B of the memory unit 111 has a green 204 inclination direction α = 45 °, 90 °, 135 °, 180 °, 225 °, 270 °, and 315 °, respectively. The putting direction (θ) is stored in a column corresponding to any one of β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, and 4 °. For the inclination direction α = 0 °, the putting direction θ = 0.

In the case of the inclination directions α = 0 ° and 180 °, the inclination is simple downward and upward inclination from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203, respectively, so that the inclination β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 ° Also, the putting direction θ = 0 °.
In the case of the inclination direction α = 90 °, 270 °, since the inclination is from the left to the right and the inclination from the right to the left with respect to the line connecting the golf ball 202 and the pin 203, the putting direction (θ) is (+) And (-) respectively. As a feature in this case, since there is no inclination from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203, the ideal miracle of the golf ball 202 is a symmetric parabola, and the uphill and downhill slopes of the green 204 of the golf ball 202 are the same amount. It becomes.

As an example of the putting direction (θ), when the inclination direction α = 90 °, the inclination β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 °, θ = −1 °, −2 °, −3 ° -4 ° and the inclination direction α = 270 °, the inclination β = 0 °, 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 °, θ = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 ° And
Although the magnitude of the putting direction (θ) is the same as the magnitude of the inclination (β), it can be changed depending on the lawn, hardness, and unevenness of the green 204.

Next, in the case of the inclination directions α = 45 ° and 135 °, since the inclination is downward from the left to the right with respect to the line connecting the golf ball 202 and the pin 203, the putting direction (θ) is (−). It is.
As a feature in this case, when the tilt direction α = 45 ° and 135 ° with respect to the pin 203 from the golf ball 202, the golf ball 202 with respect to the pin 203 is compared with the case where the tilt direction α = 90 °. Are the downward slope and the upward slope, respectively.

For this reason, the size of the putting direction (θ) is made smaller than that in the case of the inclination direction α = 90 °.
As an example of the putting direction (θ), θ = −0.5 ° with respect to the inclination β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 ° in the cases of the inclination directions α = 45 ° and 135 °, respectively. , -1 °, -1.5 °, and -2 °.

The size of the putting direction (θ) can be changed depending on the lawn, hardness, and unevenness of the green 204.
Next, in the case of the inclination direction α = 225 °, 315 °, since the inclination is downward from the right side to the left side with respect to the line connecting the golf ball 202 and the pin 203, the putting direction (θ) is (+) respectively. It is.

As a feature in this case, when the tilt direction α = 225 ° or 315 ° with respect to the pin 203 from the golf ball 202, the pin 203 with respect to the pin 203 is compared with the case where the tilt direction α = 90 °. Are the uphill slope and downhill slope, respectively.
For this reason, the size of the putting direction (θ) is made smaller than that in the case of the inclination direction α = 90 °.

As an example of the putting direction (θ), in each of the inclination directions α = 225 ° and 315 °, θ = 0.5 ° with respect to the inclination β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 ° and 4 °, 1 °, 1.5 °, and 2 °.
The size of the putting direction (θ) can be changed depending on the lawn, hardness, and unevenness of the green 204.
The putting direction (θ) may be stored for each golf course. This is because the lawn, hardness, and unevenness of the green 204 change from golf course to golf course.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the putting strength data stored in the putting strength data storage unit 111C of the memory unit 111 in FIG.
First, regarding the strength of putting, in the case of a green that is flat with an inclination β = 0 from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203 with respect to an arbitrary distance from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203 on the green of the golf course, Strength is standard.

  As shown in the figure, the putting strength data storage unit 111C of the memory unit 111 has a green 204 inclination direction α = 45 °, 90 °, 135 °, 180 °, 225 °, 270 °, and 315 °, respectively. Putting strength is stored in a column corresponding to any one of β = 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, and 4 °. For the inclination direction α = 0 °, the putting strength is standard.

Here, as an example, there are five levels of putting strength: weak, somewhat weak, standard, slightly strong, and strong.
In the case of the inclination direction α = 0 °, the golf ball 202 is a simple downward inclination from the pin 203, so that the putting strength is slightly weaker with respect to the inclination β = 1 °, 2 °. For β = 3 ° and 4 °, the putting strength is weak.

Next, in the case of the inclination direction α = 180 °, each is a simple upward inclination from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203, so that the putting strength is slightly strong with respect to the inclination β = 1 ° and 2 °. In addition, the strength of putting is strong with respect to the inclination β = 3 ° and 4 °.
Next, in the case of the inclination direction α = 90 °, 270 °, the inclination from the left to the right and the inclination from the right to the left with respect to the line connecting the golf ball 202 and the pin 203 respectively. As a feature, since there is no inclination from the golf ball 202 to the pin 203, the ideal miracle of the golf ball 202 is a symmetric parabola, and the slope of the green 204 of the golf ball 202 has the same amount of ascending and descending. In addition, for the inclination β = 1 ° and 2 °, the putting strength is standard, and for the inclination β = 3 ° and 4 °, the putting strength is slightly strong.

  Next, in the case of the inclination direction α = 45 °, 315 °, the inclination is downward from the left side to the right side and the inclination from the right side to the left side with respect to the line connecting the golf ball 202 and the pin 203. Since each pin 203 has a downward slope, the putting strength is standard for the inclination β = 1 ° and 2 °, and the putting strength is slightly different for the inclination β = 3 ° and 4 °. Weak.
