Description
The present invention relates to a golf distance measuring device, and more particularly, to a golf watch combined distance measuring device that improves the accuracy of the golf shot using GPS and weather information.
Recently, as golf facilities such as screen golf courses and indoor golf driving ranges are increased, golf is gradually developing as one of the popular sports in Korea. In particular, as the golf population grows, there are a growing number of golfers who go out to the field (round golf courses) and rounding.
In order to make a good shot, a rounding golfer must consider a number of factors, the most important of which is the distance, including the distance from the position of the golf ball to the pin. Information, and weather information including the strength and direction of wind currently blowing in the field. That is, fairway bunkers (collectively referred to as bunkers except green bunkers), water hazards (repair facilities such as streams and ponds located in the course), or greens around the hall. You need to know exactly the distance to the area within 20 yards of the area, which is well-suited for putting, and you can choose the club (club) that suits you, and know the wind direction and wind speed blowing in the field. You can control the direction of the shot and shoot a sophisticated shot.
Golf distance measuring method according to the prior art is largely divided into two, one is a distance measuring method using a laser, the other is a distance measuring method using a GPS. The distance measuring method using a laser transmits a laser toward a target, and measures a time when a portion of the transmitted laser is reflected back to the target, and multiplies the measured time by the speed of the laser to determine the distance to the target. How to measure. This laser distance measuring method has the advantage of measuring the distance to the target very accurately by accurately detecting the time when the laser is reflected back, whereas when used at a long distance such as more than 200 yards Because of the small shaking of the hand held by the hand, it is difficult to use the laser at a teeing ground, a place prepared separately for the first shot in each hole.
Meanwhile, the distance measuring method using the Global Positioning System (GPS) is transmitted by at least four satellites out of 24 satellites that the US Department of Defense shoots and orbits in six orbits around the earth. The GPS receiver receives navigation data and PRN code (Pseudo-Random-Noise code) controlled by a Multiple Access (Code Division Multiple Access) method, and calculates the distance from the GPS receiver to each satellite. Is done in a way. In this case, triangulation of the four or more distances calculated by the GPS receiver may determine coordinates on a three-dimensional plane, from which the latitude, longitude, and altitude of the GPS receiver may be obtained. Such a distance measurement method using GPS has the advantage of knowing the coordinates at any position on the earth, but since the error range of the coordinates measured by GPS can reach several meters wide, In a situation where a sophisticated approach shot is required, such as a pitch shot, a chip shot, and the like, there is a problem that its utilization is low.
Currently, since most golf distance measuring devices are configured to include the above laser equipment or GPS equipment separately, there is a need to implement a device that can be easily handled, such as a wrist watch, while using the advantages of both devices. It is increasing. In addition, weather information such as wind direction and wind speed, which is another important factor to consider when operating GPS or laser equipment, must be collected and utilized separately through the Internet, so it is possible to directly change the weather observation data in the field. There is a problem that is difficult to identify and use.
The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems of the conventionally proposed methods, and includes a GPS receiver, a weather data receiver, and a memory in a golf distance measuring device to determine a distance to various features in a field. A watch that combines GPS and weather information to improve golf shot accuracy by periodically updating weather data observed around the field as well as making measurements. It is an object to provide a golf distance measuring device.
In addition, the present invention, the golf distance measuring device further comprises a laser distance measuring unit, in the tee ground (teeing ground) or fairway (fairway) to measure the distance to the green (green) using GPS, the green surroundings In order to increase the accuracy of the golf shot using GPS and weather information, the laser can measure the distance to the pin by using a laser, thereby increasing the accuracy of the golf shot by using an appropriate distance measuring device according to the rounding progress. Another object is to provide a watch combined golf distance measuring device.
