As one of them, there is known a golf cart operation management system for notifying a player or a golf course employee of the current operation status of a golf cart.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a display device for displaying the operation status of a golf cart in the operation management system for a golf cart as described above. The display device 100 of the golf cart operation management system shown in FIG. 1 includes, for example, a personal computer (hereinafter, simply referred to as “personal computer”) 101 and a monitor device 102, and is created by the personal computer 101 on a screen of the monitor device 102. The image of the golf course layout of the golf course and the image of the golf cart actually moving inside the golf course are displayed. Such a display device 100
Are arranged at important points in the golf course (for example, at a front desk, a cafeteria, a cart dispatch area where the player is waiting before playing) so that the player can easily grasp the current situation inside the golf course. . In addition, since such a display device 100 also provides an employee in a golf course with information on the status of the golf course, the employee can accurately grasp the status of the golf course by looking at the display device 100. It is possible to do business properly according to the situation.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a case where the operation management system for a golf cart as described above is displayed by using a large display panel. In this case, the display device 1
As shown in FIG. 10A, a personal computer 101 and a large display panel 111 are connected by a cable or the like.

Therefore, by disposing such a display device 110 at a key point in a golf course, a player or an employee of the golf course can more easily grasp the situation in the course.

[0006]

When the operation management system for a golf cart is constructed using the display device shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10, there are the following problems. First, since the course layout of a golf course differs depending on each golf course, for example, in the case of the display device 100 as shown in FIG. 9, it is necessary to create an image in accordance with the course layout of each golf course using the personal computer 101. . Also, a large display panel 1 as shown in FIG.
In the case of the display device 110 using the display 11, a display plate 111 on which a course layout for each golf course is printed is required. As described above, the display device of the conventional golf cart operation management system has a problem of being relatively expensive because it has a custom property of creating a course layout corresponding to each golf course. .

The course of the golf course is slightly changed on a daily basis. Each time, the course layout image displayed on the screen of the monitor device 102 is changed or displayed on the display board 111. Since it is necessary to change the printing of the course layout, there is a problem that it is expensive to maintain and operate such a system.
Furthermore, the display device as described above has a problem that it is difficult to move once it is installed.

[0008] In addition, those who frequently use the golf cart operation management system as described above are mainly employees or skilled players involved in the operation of golf courses. Usually, they are familiar with the terrain layout of each hole. Therefore, the course layout displayed on the display device is not particularly required, and the operation status of the golf cart in the course is important.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can be generally used in golf courses having different course layouts, can be maintained and operated at a low cost, and furthermore, necessary information can be stored in the golf course. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a golf course management system that can be obtained from anywhere.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the golf course management system of the present invention executes a required process on cart position information of a golf cart and obtains at least the cart position information. A management device having a transmission unit capable of transmitting an information signal including cart information using a low-power radio wave as a medium, a reception unit for receiving an information signal transmitted from the management device, and a reception unit receiving the information signal. And a plurality of portable display devices provided with display means capable of displaying the position and number of the golf cart for each course based on the information signal.

Further, the display device displays the cart position in each course, for example, in units of 9 holes, with a blinking light emitting diode, and a graphic display means for displaying message information transmitted as an information signal from the management device. Was provided. Furthermore, the display device is capable of separating at least the receiving means and the graphic display means from the display device as a simple display. Furthermore, the display device includes a transmission unit that transmits the position information to the management device, and the management device includes a reception unit that receives the position information transmitted from the display device. Further, the display device is configured such that the receiving means and the graphic display means can be separated from the display device as a simple display.

According to the golf course management system of the present invention,
Since the cart information is transmitted to the management device using the low-power radio wave as a medium, a network of the management system can be constructed at low cost. Further, since the display means is displayed by the light emitting diodes without displaying the course layout, it can be used for general purposes. In addition, since the display device is portable, the operation status of the cart can be displayed at any place in the golf course.

[0013]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a golf course management system according to the present invention will be described. In order to implement the golf course management system of the present embodiment, at least position information such as a position of a golf cart in the golf course is required. Each cart position may be detected by providing a GPS that knows its own position by radio waves from a satellite, but the method for detecting the position information of the golf cart described with reference to the schematic diagram of the golf course shown in FIG. 1 is used. You can also.

In this figure, the layout of the golf course is shown. For convenience of explanation, the layout of the golf course is assumed to be 9 holes of cherry blossoms out, 9 holes of cherry blossoms, and 9 holes of pine. It is shown. As shown in this figure, a management building CH with a caddy master room is generally located near the start hall of each course.
Each course has at least one repeater R1 at a position where it can communicate with the management building CH using low-power radio waves.
1, R21 and R31 are provided. The repeaters R11, R21, R31 are practically arranged at positions where they can cover the widest possible range of the course and can communicate with the management building CH by means of low-power radio waves.

In each course, nine holes are laid out in the order of the first hole, the second hole, the third hole, the fourth hole, and the fifth hole, and a golf cart is provided between these holes along the course. Kart road where K can move,
Or it is made accessible by rail.

[0016] There is at least one between the management building CH and each course.
Each of the repeaters R11 to R31 is provided with a transceiver capable of communicating with each other. However, in a course where information in a remote part of the course cannot be transmitted, for example, in the case of a cherry blossom out course, a main repeater (parent) is used. ), A repeater (child) R <b> 12 or the like depending on the above may be arranged.
The transceiver installed in each repeater R is, for example, a transceiver certified as a low power type, which eliminates the need for a radio administrator and, if a low power type transceiver is used, 500 m to 1 km in a golf course. In a course having a normal zigzag course layout, one or two repeaters may be arranged for one course (9 holes).

In this course, locators L11 to L1N for detecting the current positions of a plurality of golf carts K are arranged at predetermined positions along the cart roads of the respective courses, in addition to the repeaters R. . Each of the locators L (as will be described later) transmits a weak radio wave at an appropriate period. For example, when the golf cart K1 passes near the locator L13, the locator L receives the radio wave of the locator L13. Thus, the current position of the golf cart can be detected. Then, the detected current position information is transmitted to the repeater R (N) of each course installed in the communicable range via the transmitting / receiving device loaded on the cart, and the transceiver of the repeater R (N) is transmitted to the repeater R (N). The cart position information is transferred to the management building CH via the control unit CH. This allows the management building CH to grasp the current position of the golf cart K playing in each hole.

The locator L installed at a predetermined position in the course intermittently sends out its own ID for identifying the place by a small amount of electric power, and when the golf cart K passes near the ID. Only the power that can be received. Therefore, each golf cart K receives the weak radio waves transmitted from the plurality of locators L installed in the course by the receiver of the golf cart K,
You can know the current golf cart position.

Each of the repeaters R sequentially sends information transmission requests to the golf cart K, for example. This information transmission request is received only by the golf cart K specified by the specific ID number of the golf carts K, and any one of the golf carts K that has received this information transmission request
Transmits the position information and various kinds of information obtained from the locator L together with its own identification code ID to inform the management building CH of its current position from the transmitter. The repeater R receiving this stores the movement information of each golf cart k existing in the course, determines which locator each golf cart K is closest to at a predetermined timing, and The information is sent to the management building CH. In this way, cart position information is collected in the management building CH.

The management device 1 individually controls the display device 10 based on the device number set by this switch. It is possible to send cart information and message information to. The connector unit 17 includes the management device 1 and the display device 1.
For example, in the case of connecting by wire instead of wirelessly, RS-232C cable or RS-485 cable is connected. Note that, when the display device 10 is connected and used wirelessly, it is not particularly required.

Next, a display mode example of the display unit 11 of the display device 10 as described above will be described with reference to FIG. The display unit 11 shown in FIG.
The number of golf carts K on fairways and greens can be displayed in a matrix. That is,
Area 2 displaying the hole number of each hole sequentially from the top
2. An area 23 for displaying the number of golf carts K on the tee ground for each hole, an area 24 for displaying the number of golf carts K on the fairway for each hole, and a golf cart K on the green for each hole. An area 25 for displaying the number is provided.

In an area 23 for displaying the number of carts for tea and an area 25 for displaying the number of carts on the green, for example, three LEDs 21 each for displaying the number of carts are provided. The area 24 for displaying the number of carts on the fairway for each hole is further divided into three parts to display the position of the golf cart K on the fairway in some detail. For example, the position of the fairway from the tee is referred to as fairway 1, the vicinity of the center is referred to as fairway 2, and the position of the fairway is referred to as fairway 3.
