Description

Automatic management of golf records integrated using optical pen and special printed scorecard {METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUTOMATIC AND INTEGRATED SERVICE FOR GOLF RECORD USING OPTICAL PENS AND SPECIAL-PRINTING SCORECARDS}

The present invention relates to a technology for integrated management of the record of the golf game by using the optical recognition pen and the special printed scorecard.

More specifically, in the present invention, a result of playing a game of each hole while a caddy (or a player) plays a golf game on a special printed scorecard, preferably in the form of a general paper card, in which a plurality of fine dots representing coordinates by positional deviation are printed and arranged. When the handwriting is written with the optical recognition pen, the optical recognition pen recognizes it and transmits the writing input data to the remote recording management server through the host device, and the recording management server provides statistical analysis of the individual player's records, The present invention relates to a method for automatically managing golf records using an optical pen and a specially-printed scorecard that can provide a reliable service in connection with golf insurance as well as integrated golf records management.

Golf, which is now popular all over the world, runs a golf course of 18 holes, where each hole is scored by adding up the number of hits until the ball is put into the hole cup on the green. It is a game.

A golf game is played by four players and one caddy, during which the caddy records the score for each hole for four players with a pen on one scorecard. After all 18 holes have been completed, the scorecard is issued directly to the player, who checks the score and discards the scorecard or keeps it for one player.

On the other hand, in order to achieve good results in a golf game, the player's diligent practice is necessary. Golf practice is carried out depending on individual feelings or teaching feelings. It is not happening. However, it is more desirable to analyze individual players' current abilities for tee shots, approaches, and putts, which are the basic elements of a golf game, and practice based on them.

In addition, the handicap of each player in a golf game has a significant and sensitive meaning. In golf, a handicap is a numerical value that evaluates your skill level so that players with different skills can enjoy the game on a fair stand. Conceptually, it is the difference between the actual score and the par for the game, and the average number of strokes that each player hits more than the average for one course. In other words, the lower the handicap index, the better the golfer, and the person who is generally judged to be able to play on average N on the par 72 golf course is called a handicap (N-72).

This handicap index is used as a tool for fair evaluation of game results in golf games between amateurs, especially when betting between players. Handicap is applied to prevent the progress of the game unilaterally in favor of the advanced players, so that there are occasional subtle emotional battles between players about the application of the handicap. In other words, if a player does not play a good day on the day compared to his or her handicap, he or she may be distrusted between the other player or the same player as to whether the handicap was honest. However, the handicap is managed individually, so it is impossible to verify, so it is difficult to solve such emotional battles cleanly.

On the other hand, there are events that are very important in golf games, such as hole-in-one and albatross. Hole-in-one is where the tee shot goes right into the hole-cup, and the albatrosses out three strokes less than the base. Hall-in-One and Albatross are the events that a player will have once in a lifetime, but they are very commemorative, but there are significant expenses such as commemorating planting on the golf course or paying for the game of the accompanying player. Therefore, in order to supplement these economic difficulties, golf insurance is provided, and is actually used.

However, there have been cases of abuse of golf insurance, and there are many cases where false claims are made under the agreement between the companion player and the caddy, considering that the insurance claims for hole-in-one or albatross are usually made within one month. to be. However, the insurer must mobilize due diligence to check whether there has actually been a golf game using these players and the caddy, and furthermore, the scorecard of the match has been issued and presented with a scorecard that has already been lost or has been manipulated. It is also possible to confirm whether the incident (Hole in One, Albatross) actually occurred.

As a result, not only the society's perception of golf insurance is gradually worsening, but the premium of golf insurance is also rising, causing a problem of damage to golf players. In addition, there is a problem that a player who is fortunate to record a hole-in-one or an albatross actually suffers a suspicion about insurance fraud while claiming insurance money for golf insurance.

As mentioned above, the current record of the golf game is managed separately, which causes the individual player to be deprived of the opportunity to improve his golf skills quickly through systematic and scientific practice. Subtle emotional disputes and distrust among players exist, and there is a problem that it is difficult to verify insurance fraud in relation to golf insurance. In the case of a professional golfer, there is a lot of time in the golf game, so you can record meticulously while playing the game, and you can receive the related services with the support of the game analysis personnel, but in the case of an amateur golfer, the game is played very tightly. The reality is that it is impossible to record carefully during the game, nor is it possible to receive service with a game analyst.

Therefore, by incorporating information and communication technology into the golf game, not only the record of each golf game is accurately managed, but also the individual game records are collected and processed statistically to provide individual game records and systematic evaluation information for individual players. This is required. In addition, there is a need for a technology that can secure the trust in golf insurance by keeping the game record reliably. In particular, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to redesign the golf management system installed at individual golf courses or to avoid excessive retraining burdens for golf progress agents (including desk staff and caddy). It is desirable to develop technologies that can minimize changes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the overall system configuration provided by the automatic golf record integrated automatic management method according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the score card 10 used in the present invention. Referring first to [FIG. 1], the entire system provided with the present invention is a scorecard 10, optical recognition pen 20, host device 30, wired and wireless network 40, record management server 50, moving It comprises a communication network 60, a mobile terminal 70, insurance management server 80.

The scorecard 10 is designed and provided for each golf course and is a space for recording a game record of each player in an individual golf game. An example of the scorecard 10 for the present invention is shown in FIG. 2, and the special printing techniques for constructing the scorecard 10 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In other words, the scorecard 10 is a specially printed paper card for the purpose of recording golf records, and may be implemented so that there is no significant difference from the conventional scorecard in appearance. In addition, the scorecard 10 in the present invention does not necessarily need to be made of paper pulp, and may be made of a vinyl or plastic material in the form of a thin film. It just needs to be made of materials that can be used like a regular paper card.

Unlike a general paper card, the scorecard 10 according to the present invention is a point on which a background pattern composed of a plurality of dots is printed, and the area in the scorecard 10 through the dot background pattern ([FIG. 2]). Reference numerals A1, A2, A3, and A4). Regarding the specially printed background pattern of the scorecard 10, description will be made with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

The scorecard 10 shows the coordinates of each point by arranging the dots with positional deviations in any one of a plurality of preset directions (for example, four directions of up, down, left and right) based on a virtual grid intersection point. In some embodiments, the scorecards 10 may be arranged in different combinations to distinguish the scorecards. When the positional deviation of the dots is selected in four directions of up, down, left and right, the number of four cases per dot occurs and the combination can be further increased according to the number of dots. For example, when a total of 36 dot combinations of 6 × 6 cells and a total of 36 dots are used as one information unit, 4 ³⁶ pieces (= 2 ⁷² pieces) of information may be stored, which corresponds to about 17 billion gigabytes of information. Therefore, the 6 × 6 size dot combination can contain not only coordinate information in one page but also enough information about which golf course the current scorecard 10 uses and on which date.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the dots printed on the scorecard 10 are printed with ink which is distinguished from the rest of the print contents of the scorecard 10. For example, by printing dots with only carbon black so as to be distinguished from the rest of the contents, only the carbon black may be recognized through the optical recognition means of the optical recognition pen 20. At this time, by using the infrared detection means as the optical recognition means of the optical recognition pen 20 may be implemented to detect the dot of the score card 10 in the dark.

4 is an exemplary view showing an embodiment in which a special printing technique to be applied to the scorecard 10 in the present invention is applied to paper. When magnified, it can be confirmed that the fine dots are arranged with a slight deviation from the reference point. In addition, the color of the dot is not only distinguished from the rest of the contents printed on the paper, but also distinguished from the color of the ink that the user writes with the optical pen 20. The dot arrangement can be recognized.

The optical recognition pen 20 is provided with an ink core (not shown) so that a golf player (hereinafter referred to as a 'player') or a caddy (a race assistant) can write on the surface of the score card 10 as well. Optical recognition means (not shown) for sensing an image of a point where the ink core and the score card 10 are in contact with each other is further provided to recognize the arrangement of the dots on the surface of the score card 10.

Thus, while the user writes the record for each hole in the scorecard 10 using the optical recognition pen 20, the arrangement of dots printed on the scorecard 10 by the optical recognition means is recognized so that the user can Coordinates, areas, types, etc. of the points being written can be calculated. The optical recognition pen 20 generates handwriting information data including time information in the abnormally calculated information. In addition, the optical recognition pen 20 is provided with a Bluetooth transmission means (not shown) can transmit the writing input data to another device equipped with a Bluetooth reception function. In the present invention, the host device 30 and the optical recognition pen 20 perform hand short-wired / wireless communication (eg, Bluetooth) to transmit handwriting input data, which will be described with reference to the host device 30.

The host device 30 is a facility installed in a golf course, which is provided with a Bluetooth communication means to receive handwriting input data from the optical recognition pen 20, and also has a wired / wireless communication means to provide handwriting input data through the wired / wireless network 40. Performs a function of delivering to the records management server 50. According to an embodiment, the host device 30 may also provide handwriting input data to the insurance management server 80. In this specification, the insurance management server 80 is indirectly provided through the record management server 50. Is disclosed as a preferred embodiment.

Meanwhile, the host device 30 may be implemented in various forms, for example, in the form of a communication terminal installed in a smart phone or a club house owned by a caddy. In addition, the host device 30 may include a terminal device provided in a golf club clubhouse. In this case, the personal information of each player is provided at the time of customer registration before starting a golf game, and then recorded together with the handwriting input data after the game. It may be transferred to the management server 50. The host device 30 is provided with a dedicated application for transmitting handwriting input data to the record management server 50. The dedicated application may be embedded from the time of release of the host device 30 or may be installed in the host device 30 through a separate download / installation process.

Wired and wireless network 40 means a network that can be connected to the Internet through a wired or wireless communication all comprehensively.

The recording management server 50 receives the writing input data from the optical recognition pen 20 through the wired / wireless network 40 and the host device 30, and coordinate information (combination of special printing dots) included in the writing input data together. Obtains the coordinate information from the); and restores the writing trajectory made on the scorecard (10). The record management server 50 provides a large number of background images and a background format of the scorecard for each golf course, and then identifies the scorecard associated with it when restoring the writing trajectory. The identification method of the scorecard may be implemented in various ways. For example, coordinate information related to handwriting input data may be used, or identification information may be handwritten into the scorecard, or an address or other identification information of the host device 30 may be used. .

As described above, the record management server 50 may also receive personal information of individual players from the host device 30, thereby managing and managing the golf game record with each player. In addition, the recording management server 50 registers the restored writing trajectory in the player information area of the scorecard 10 so that the player can check the writing contents through his mobile terminal 70.

The mobile communication network 60 may be a synchronous mobile communication network or an asynchronous mobile communication network. An example of an asynchronous mobile communication network is a WCDMA communication network. In this case, the mobile communication network 60 includes various mobile communication equipment including an RNC and an asynchronous MSC. Meanwhile, in addition to WCDMA, the mobile communication network 60 may be implemented through a next generation mobile communication network such as 3G LTE or 4G.

The mobile terminal 70 is a mobile phone or a smart phone which the player possesses. When the player uses the mobile terminal 70, the player can access the recording management server 50 through the mobile communication network 60 to display the player information registered in the recording management server 50, and the player uses a touch screen or a keypad. By operating the menu to view the game scores, etc. by date. Since the record management server 50 provides the mobile terminal 70 with an image obtained by synthesizing the handwriting trajectory with the background image of the score card 10, the player may display an image of the score card 10 as actually recorded by the caddy in the game. You can query.

The insurance management server 80 is a device managed by an insurance company, and accesses the record management server 50 to search for golf records in connection with insurance premium calculation or insurance payment of golf insurance. For example, when a golf insurance subscription request is received, the record management server 50 checks the golf record of the player to predict the possibility of the event (eg, hole-in-one, albatross, etc.) and calculate the premium. Can be utilized in In addition, when a claim for payment of insurance payments related to golf insurance is received, the record of the golf game according to the payment request is inquired from the record management server 50, thereby obtaining accurate information.

In the same manner as in the present invention, in order to falsely claim the insurance, an agreement about insurance fraud must be made between the accompanying player and the caddy at the game site immediately. Difficult to reach. In addition, if it is difficult to reject the caddy in the field at the golf course it can be lowered the probability of success of insurance fraud through a method of training to mark the marking on the scorecard (10).

According to the above-described configuration, the host device 30 is installed in the internal and external facilities of the clubhouse, or possessed by the caddy, through which the host device 30 communicates with the optical recognition pen 20.

In order to play a golf game, the player registers with the customer at the clubhouse before starting the golf game, wherein identification information (personal identification information and telephone number, etc.) regarding the individual player is provided to the host device 30. In the scorecard 10, information for identifying each game (for example, a tee-off time) is filled in. The player information provided by the customer registration in advance is linked to the identification information through the host device 30 to the record management server 50. ) Accordingly, the record management server 50 can identify the players associated with the scorecard 10, it is also possible to secure the terminal number of the mobile terminal 70 possessed by these players.

Subsequently, while the golf game is in progress, the caddy writes the game record using the optical recognition pen 20 on the scorecard 10, and the input contents are inputted to the host device 30 when the golf game is finished and the clubhouse comes to the clubhouse. It is provided to the remote recording management server 50 through the wired or wireless network 40. That is, when all 18 holes are entered in a golf game, the clubhouse checks the scorecard 10 in front of the clubhouse, receives the player's end sign, and then greets the caddy and breaks up. Referring to FIG. 2, when the check mark, for example, is marked with the optical recognition pen 20 in the Send Mobile (A1) area of the upper right of the score card 10, the writing input contents (writing input data) to the score card 10 are written. ) Is transmitted to the host device 30 through Bluetooth, and is provided to the remote record management server 50 through the wired / wireless network 40 again.

On the other hand, the record management server 50 electronically recognizes the handwriting input content of the score card 10, thereby performing various record management in the golf game. That is, the electronic device recognizes the content input by hand in the scorecard 10 and manages the game record for each player. In addition, the record management server 50 generates an entire scorecard 10 image synthesized with the background image of the scorecard 10 and provides the scorecard 10 image to the player's mobile terminal 70 through the mobile communication network 60.

Golf record information managed statistically by the record management server 50 as a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a fairway hit ratio (driver seating rate), the average putt, the handicap index. The purpose of managing such record information is primarily to provide accurate information for the player, and secondly to provide a de facto authorized handicap service.

Hereinafter, the operation of the host apparatus 30 in the automatic golf record integrated automatic management method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a UI screen in which a player inquires a golf game record through a mobile terminal, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a UI screen in which a player inquires his analysis information through a computer. 7 is a flowchart showing a process centered on the host device 30 in the present invention.

First, the host device 30 obtains and stores personal information of each player participating in a golf game (S1). As described above, each player registers a customer at the clubhouse before starting a golf game, and this information is preferably used by the host device 30. Alternatively, the player may write identification information (eg, member information) on the scorecard 10 using the optical recognition pen 20, and the host device 30 may later obtain and use this information.

Subsequently, four players and the caddy join to start a golf game (S2).

When the game starts, the caddy writes the identification information with the optical recognition pen 20 in the special print scorecard 10. Since the score card 10 is a common format of a golf course, information for identifying each game (for example, a tee-off time) is filled in. Player information provided in advance in customer registration is linked to the identification information through the host device 30. Provided later to the record management server (50).

During the golf game, the caddy (or the player) writes a game record in the set area of the scorecard 10 by using the optical recognition pen 20. In the present invention, since the game record is written by using the optical pen 20 of the general pen type on the score card 10 in the form of a paper card, there is no difference from the conventional game progress practice.

Referring to FIG. 2, the score card 10 includes a D / O area A2 for indicating whether the driver is seated on the fairway, a P area A3 for indicating the number of putts after the green, and a score of the player. S area | region A4 for marking is provided for each hole. Accordingly, as the caddy proceeds to a golf game, the fairway is settled for four players in each of the holes in the D / O area (A2), P area (A3) and S area (A4) of the scorecard 10, putting number, The score is written by hand (S4). Accordingly, the optical recognition means of the optical recognition pen 20 generates handwriting input data and temporarily stores it therein, and the handwriting input data is later transmitted to the host device 30.

Subsequently, the golf game ends (S5).

At the end of the golf game, the four players and the caddy carry all the equipment and scorecards 10 and enter the clubhouse, which is then stored in the optical recognition pen 20 via the host device 20 installed in the clubhouse. Handwriting input data of the golf game is transmitted to the record management server 50.

That is, when the player or the caddy checkmarks the sand mobile area A1 of the scorecard 10 using the optical recognition pen 20 (S6), the optical recognition pen 20 recognizes the check event and internally during the game. The handwriting input data stored in the transmission is transmitted to the host device 30 through Bluetooth communication (S7). In the format of the scorecard 10, the sand mobile area A1 is set in advance, and the optical recognition pen 20 may recognize the check event of the sand mobile area A1 based on the check input coordinates.

In addition, the host device 30 transmits the handwriting input data received from the optical recognition pen 20 and the player personal information obtained in step S1 to the recording management server 50 through the wired / wireless network 40 ( S8).

8 is a flowchart showing a process centered on the records management server 50 in the present invention.

1 to 8, first, the recording management server 50 receives the player's personal information about a specific golf game from the host device 30 through the wired / wireless network 40 (S11), In addition, in the golf game, the caddy receives handwriting input data input to the scorecard 10 by the optical recognition pen 20 through the wired / wireless network 40 from 1 to 18 holes of the player (S12).

After step S12, the recording management server 50 electronically recognizes the content of the handwriting input data received in step S12 using, for example, ICR (Intelligent character recognition) and the player using the recognition result. Manage golf game records for. At this time, if necessary, the record management server 50 analyzes the meaning of each writing input content by matching the writing input data to the scorecard form previously provided for each golf course. On the other hand, this would be unnecessary if the scorecard format was largely standardized.

First, whether the fairway is settled by the player in each of the holes 1 to 18 of the handwriting input data is extracted, the fairway hit ratio is calculated, and the first score information is generated and stored (S13). Here, the fairway hit ratio (driver seating rate) indicates the rate at which the tee shot is properly settled on the fairway. Referring to the scorecard 10 of FIG. 2, an O or X mark is displayed in the “D / O” area (A2) in each hole. This indicates data indicating whether or not the tee shot is settled on the fairway.

Then, the recording management server 50 generates the second score information by calculating the number of puts after greening by the player in each of holes 1 to 18 of the handwriting input data (S14). Here, the number of putts is data indicating how many times the putt was made out on the green after the green, and referring to the scorecard 10 of FIG. 2, each hole is a "P" area A3. The number of putts for each caddy is described using the optical recognition pen 20.

Then, the recording management server 50 extracts the score of the player in each hole of 1 to 18 holes of all the handwriting input data received in step S12, and uses the extracted score to calculate the handicap index for the player. The third score information is generated and stored in operation S15. Here, the handicap index is a number that represents the golf player's ability in a word.

Referring to the scorecard 10 form shown in FIG. 2, the score of the individual player for each hole (remark: information indicating how many holes the hole has been holed out) to the "S" area A4. When the golf game is finished, these 18 scores are summed to calculate a score for the golf game. In the present invention, the record management server 50 calculates the handicap for the player by cumulatively collecting the individual scores for each player and then statistically processing.

In general, the calculation of the handicap is simply calculated as "Handicap Index = Score-Reference PAR (e.g. 72)", and the present invention may also calculate the player's handicap index in such a manner. However, according to the present invention, not only the scores of individual players are provided over a long period of time, but also the game results (scores) of several players for each golf course are collected over a long period of time. Therefore, in the present invention, the handicap can be more accurately calculated by utilizing the fact that such a wide range of information can be collected over a long period of time.

In the present invention, it is preferable to calculate the handicap index of the player by reflecting the course rating and the slope rating set for each course according to the actual difficulty of the individual golf course. Here, the course rating is a standard value calculated by the preset reference value by measuring the difficulty of playing the course and expressed as the number of strokes by the scratch golfer's difficulty index, and the higher course rating means that the golf course is difficult for the player. . On the other hand, the slope rating is a degree of difficulty based on the viewing player, and the criterion is displayed as 113. In the present invention, since the game records of multiple players are provided for individual golf courses over a long period of time, the course record and sloping can be calculated for each course in the game record server 50, and the calculated results can be reflected in the handicap calculation. do.

In detail, in the present invention, a handicap differential is calculated according to Equation 1 as the first step of the handicap index calculation.

[ Equation  One]

Handicap Differential = (Score-Course Rating) x (113 / Slop Rating)

Next, since the player's handicap index reflects an average ability as a second step of the handicap index calculation, the handicap index is finally calculated by Equation 2 by multiplying each weight.

[ Equation  2]

Handicap Index = Average of Handicap Differential * Weight (0.96)

In the present invention, since the game record of each player can be managed by date, it is possible to use only the latest result (for example, the last six months). The record management server 50 derives a handicap index through the above calculation process, and preferably provides a virtually authorized handicap for the corresponding player. In addition, when the player accesses and requests through the mobile terminal 70 using a browser or a dedicated application, the handicap index is provided as a view. In addition, ranking services are provided, and each service member can check his or her rank.

Through accurate calculation and designation of the player for the handicap index calculation as described above, the recording management server 50 may provide a ranking service among the players.

The record management server 50 checks whether the fairway is settled in each hole, the number of putts in each hole, and in each hole, which is extracted information for generating the first to third score information stored in steps S13 to S15. After generating the scorecard image by synthesizing the background image of the scorecard 10, the score information of the score information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 70 of the player through the mobile communication network 60 as an MMS message (S16). This is the same as the contents of the scorecard 10 prepared by the caddy as the player's game record.

Meanwhile, the MMS message received by the mobile terminal 70 is provided with URL information together with the scorecard image reduced to the UI screen as shown in FIG. 5 (a).

Accordingly, when the player having the mobile terminal 70 touches the URL information at the bottom, the scorecard image view is executed as shown in FIG. 5 (b), and the image enlargement view request of the user of the mobile terminal 70 is performed. Accordingly, an enlarged view as shown in FIG. 5 (c) can be executed.

After step S16, the player accesses the recording management server 50 through the mobile communication network 60 using the mobile terminal 70, and the player information received in step S11, and steps S12 to ( The first to third score information generated by S15 may be read (S17).

The player may access the score information by accessing the mobile terminal 70, and the record management server 50 may reflect the game record through the multimedia message (MMS) (that is, the scorecard image according to the golf game). May be provided to the mobile terminal 70. In addition, the scorecard image may be provided in the form of an e-mail rather than a multimedia message.

In this way, the record management server 50 collects information related to golf play including the first to third score information and manages it statistically so as to provide the player with important information for improving the individual ability. That is, as shown in Figure 6, the record management server 50 is not only a simple score, but also the average putting using the fairway hit ratio, the putting number corresponding to the second score information according to the statistics using the fairway seating corresponding to the first score information In addition to the handicap index corresponding to the number and the third score information, specific information such as the average number of strokes, the maximum distance, and the green hit ratio may be provided by the customer personalized service.

In addition, the insurance management server 80 may access the record management server 50 through the wired / wireless network 40 to view the record of the golf game in connection with the application for payment of the insurance of the golf insurance. That is, in response to a specific player applying for a golf insurance payment for a hole-in-one or an Albatross event, the insurance management server 80 can access the record management server 50 to read the record of the game described in the insurance application. As a result, it is possible to confirm whether or not a golf game as described in the insurance application has actually existed, and furthermore, whether the hole-in-one or the albatross has actually existed according to the insurance application.

As described above, according to the present invention, in order to play golf insurance fraud, the expected success rate of the golf insurance fraud is low because both the accompanying player and the caddy require not only collusion in the competition field but also require the perfect cooperation of the caddy recording the scorecard. On the other hand, the psychological pressure that the expected disadvantage is high when a fraud is discovered is expected to greatly reduce attempts for insurance fraud.

The present invention can also be embodied in the form of computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. At this time, the computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave . The computer-readable recording medium can also be stored and executed by a computer-readable code in a distributed manner on a networked computer system. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily deduced by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
