Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile golf ball position-guiding system interworking with a screen golf,

The present invention relates to a system for guiding a golf ball position using a mobile device in a hybrid system interlocked with a screen golf which implements a virtual golf course.

A typical official golf course consists of 18 holes consisting of tee ground, fair wear, rough, green, hall, numerous hazards and bunkers. The official golf course includes short holes, middle holes, And a long hole, and the double short holes and long holes form eight holes each having four holes, and the remaining ten holes are generally composed of middle holes.

The short hole is usually formed at a short distance of 150m or less, the middle hole is 300m to 350m and the long hole is formed at a distance of about 450m. Thus, the average distance of the golf course is 5,500m to 6,000m, This requires a large area of 660,000 square meters to 1 million square meters. Therefore, it takes much time and expense to implement the golf course, and problems such as destruction of the natural environment are generated, which makes it difficult to popularize golf.

In order to solve such a cost and time limit, there is a golf simulator produced by modeling an actual golf course. However, such a golf simulator is not enough to convey the vivid feeling of the field to the player, 'Hybrid Golf Course' which combines natural grass.

The hybrid golf course is composed of a golf simulator capable of performing golf in virtual space and a real golf course in offline space. The player performs a tee shot and an iron shot in a golf simulator, It is practiced in real natural grass.

Meanwhile, in a short game area such as an approach and a putting, a real golf ball must be positioned and played at a precise landing point of a golf ball made by a golf simulator before playing an approach or putting. In the prior art, And the pointer indicates the position at which the golf ball is to be positioned.

However, since the laser ball markers using the laser have to be displayed on the green of the wide space, the output is high, and therefore, the sensitive player feels uncomfortable feeling of such high power laser pointer.

In addition, when the laser pointer indicates the position of the golf ball, the laser beam may be blocked by the inclination or an error caused by the inclination may cause the accurate golf ball There is a problem that the position indication can not be performed.
