DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf swing lesson system using a communication line such as an Internet line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, golf is one of the most popular sports in Japan. To enjoy golf, you need to acquire basic skills, but it is especially important to acquire the correct swing.

[0003] In general, amateur golfers strive to acquire a swing on their own at a driving range or the like with reference to a golf program on a television or a golf magazine.

[0004]

By the way, it is difficult to acquire a correct swing by the above-mentioned method of learning a swing. Because he does not know what kind of swing he is doing.

Therefore, it is conceivable to have a family member take a picture of a swinging place with a video camera or the like, and then play back the tape taken later to view it. According to this, one's own swing can be seen objectively, and it becomes a reference for skill acquisition. However, it is difficult to find out how to fix bad spots by reading golf magazines.

Here, in order to learn the correct swing,
It is considered effective to have a golf instructor (professional golfer, lesson professional, etc.) look at the swing and receive direct guidance. However, it is common for the instructor to specify the location and time to receive guidance. , And tend to be shunned by the general Amachea golfer. It is hopeless that leading professional golfers will be instructed on swinging unless they appear on television golf programs.

[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf swing lesson system using a communication line that allows a golf instructor to give a swing lesson without being restricted by location and time.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a client device and a server device are communicably connected by a communication line, and the client device transmits golf swing photographing data and golf swing lesson data browsing request. The server device includes a processing unit that can transmit the golf swing lesson data and a display unit that can display the received golf swing lesson data, and the server device stores a golf swing lesson data file created according to the received golf swing shooting data. And a processing means for searching the data storage means for a golf swing lesson data file in response to a golf swing lesson data browsing request and transmitting the searched golf swing lesson data file to the client device. Characterized by It is a golf swing lessons system using the signal line.

In the case of this invention, the processing means of the client device transmits golf swing photographing data to the server device. On the server side, the photographing data is received by a golf instructor (professional golfer, lesson professional, etc.), and the server is provided with advice on a swing analysis, a problem, and a future practice method. These pieces of advice are edited as, for example, images with sound (still images and moving images) and stored in the data storage unit of the server device as a golf swing lesson data file.

When the client device transmits a golf swing lesson data browsing request to the server device, the processing device of the server device stores a golf swing lesson data file corresponding to the golf swing lesson data browsing request from the data storage device. Search and transmit the searched golf lesson data file to the client device. Thereby, the client can take a swing lesson of the golf instructor through the display means of the client device.

[0011] Therefore, the client can have the golf instructor give a swing lesson without being restricted by location and time. Also,
The client can study his or her golf swing by seeing the swing lesson displayed on the display means without being restricted by location and time.

[0012] The invention of claim 2 is a golf swing lesson system using a communication line wherein the communication line is formed of any one of an Internet line, an optical communication line, a satellite communication line, and a wired electric communication line.

In the case of the present invention, the client can have the golf instructor give a lesson on the swing without being restricted by location and time, by effectively utilizing the respective communication lines.
