This state will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the simulator 10, and FIG. 4 is a plan view thereof.

The flight distance of the hit ball is determined by the second coordinate detecting device 18.
And the ball 2 detected by the first coordinate detecting device 16
The vertical angle θ1 (see FIG. 3) of the ball 24 hit back from the two passing positions P3 and P4 of No. 4 is calculated, and the vertical angle θ1 and the second coordinates detected by the passing time detector 46 are calculated. It is calculated based on the passage time of the ball 24 between the detection device 18 and the first coordinate detection device 16.

The flight distance in this case is the distance from the ball passing position P3 to the second coordinate detecting device 18 to the ball falling position P6 on the ground.

The actual flight distance is the distance L from the batter 26's hitting position P3 to the falling position P6 on the ground.
(See FIG. 4).

Therefore, assuming that the distance from the return position P3 to the passing position P4 of the second coordinate detecting device 18 is fixed, the fixed value is set to the distance from the passing position P4 to the falling position P6. By adding, an approximate flight distance can be calculated.

When calculating the flight distance of a hit ball, it is actually necessary to consider air resistance.

In this case, when a resistance coefficient proportional to the square of the speed is introduced, a state in which the flight distance substantially coincides with the actual flight distance can be achieved.

The flight direction of the hit ball is determined by the second coordinate detecting device 18.

The vertical angle θ3 (see FIG. 3) and the horizontal angle θ4 (see FIG. 4) of the two passing points P1 and P2 that have passed
) Can be calculated.

The throwing speed can be calculated from the passing times of the two passing positions P1 and P2 detected by the passing time detector 46.

The return point P3 of the ball 24 is determined by the passing positions P1 and P2 of the thrown ball 24 passing through the first coordinate detecting device 16 and the second coordinate detecting device 18, respectively.
And the respective passing positions P at which the returned ball 24 has passed through the coordinate detecting device 18 and the first coordinate detecting device 16.
4, P5.

That is, the ball hitting position P3 can be calculated by finding the intersection of the line connecting the passing positions P1 and P2 with the line connecting the passing positions P4 and P5.

By calculating the hitting position P3, an accurate distance from the passing position P4 of the hit ball to the hitting position P3 can be obtained, so that a more accurate flight distance of the hit ball can be calculated.

The throwing course of the ball can be calculated from the direction in which the thrown ball has passed through the first and second coordinate detecting devices 16 and 18 and the ball returning position P3.

From the coordinate detection devices 16 and 18 or information from the passage time detection unit 46, a program stored in the information storage medium 44, and the like.

The game calculation section 60 also functions as a determination section 62, a screen rendering section 64, and a recording section 66 as shown in FIG.

The judgment section 62 corresponds to a judgment means, and judges a hitting ball based on a parameter of a hypothetical baseball field or a parameter of a predetermined baseball team.

For example, the result of calculating the flight distance and flight direction of the hit ball is compared with predetermined parameters of a baseball stadium, and 1
When the vehicle has traveled 20 m, it is determined that the home run is overfenced.

Also, for example, an infield fly, an outfield fly,
In the case of an infield goro, liner, or the like, a ball catching determination is made based on the parameters of a predetermined baseball team member as to whether or not the member at the position where the ball flew has caught up and hit the ball.

The screen rendering unit 64 controls the pitching motion of the pitcher at the time of pitching, the character of “home run” when the hit is a home run, or an image in which the pitcher throws a glove. Various screen effects such as images showing a state of catching and catching a ball are performed.

Further, effects such as displaying the course of the pitch, the flight distance and direction of the hit ball, and the like are also provided.

The storage section 66 records the pitching course, the flight distance of the hit ball, the flight direction, and the like, and determines which pitching course is strong or weak, how long the ball is hit at which course, and the like. The display can be used to diagnose the impact.

As described above, the throwing distance of the pitching course and the hit ball,
By calculating the flight direction and the like and judging the hitting ball based on the parameters of a predetermined baseball field or baseball team member, a realistic batting game can be enjoyed, and the first coordinate detection device 16 and Such a batting game can be easily realized only by using the second coordinate detecting device 18.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified into various forms within the scope of the present invention.

For example, although a laser sensor is used for the first and second coordinate detecting devices, the present invention is not limited to this example, and sensing may be performed in a matrix using an optical sensor. Various coordinate detecting means can be used as long as it can surely sense.

In the above-described embodiment, the simulator for performing the batting game has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the simulator can be used as a ball measuring system for measuring the flight distance of a hit ball. A simulator using such a system can also be used.
