[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a golf player who plays at a golf course generally carries a score card to record the score, and writes the record on the score card every hit.
[0003]
However, in the above-described method, it is necessary that the score be written by hand during play, and the score calculation be performed by the player himself. In addition, the information that can be recorded on the score card is limited to items that can be grasped by the player himself during the play, such as the number of hits for each hole. It would be desirable if more detailed information such as the flight distance and the trajectory of the golf ball corresponding to the club could be obtained and recorded and managed.
[0004]
Therefore, in recent years, for example, a golf result recording device described in JP-A-6-15022 and a result display method using the device, a golf information storage device described in JP-A-2002-17935, and the like have been considered. ing.
[0005]
The golf result recording device described in JP-A-6-15022 is a device having a built-in GPS receiver, and a user who is a player goes around a course while carrying the device and uses a club for each hit. By storing the type of golf ball and the like, and measuring and storing the position information of the landing point of the golf ball, the result recording device calculates the flight distance for each hit and calculates the correlation between the flight distance and the golf club used. indicate. The score recording device also calculates and displays a score by counting up the number of hits. Further, the computer of the clubhouse at the golf course reads the information stored in the result storage device and displays the path of the ball on the hole map.
[0006]
The golf information storage device described in JP-A-2002-17935 stores the type of club used for each hit, the coordinates of the landing point of the ball measured based on GPS, and the like. The information stored in these golf information storage devices is sent to a host computer provided at the golf course via a communication interface and processed, whereby the amount of flight in which direction by which club is calculated. In addition, by making the golf information storage device record the coordinates of the putt start position and the number of putts, the score of each hole and the total score can be calculated.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the invention described in JP-A-6-15022 and the invention described in JP-A-2002-17935, both have special storage devices for storing information and the like. Since it is a unique device used only for the invention, it lacks versatility and has significant disadvantages in terms of cost.
[0008]
Further, in each golf course, it is necessary to include a computer for outputting information stored in these devices, in addition to these devices, so that the cost burden on the golf course is increased. On the other hand, a user who is a player has to carry out a golf play while carrying a storage device that usually does not need to be carried, and there is a problem that the storage device is bulky or the like and hinders the play.
[0009]
Also, since both of them cause the information stored in the storage device to be processed by the computer at the golf course after the end of the play, the user cannot obtain real-time information about the trajectory of the golf ball for each hit during the play. .
[0010]
Furthermore, since both are related to the system in one golf course, it is not possible to integrate information indicating the status and results of the user's golf play between different golf courses, for example, the user performs his / her own play analysis. In order to store and manage information for each play as data, information such as scores obtained at each golf course must be separately input to a user's own computer or the like and recorded and managed. A series of work is troublesome and inconvenient.

The golf course map database 14 stores golf course map information for associating the latitude and longitude with the position on the map of the golf course that has been digitized. Here, the golf course map information refers to golf course map image information and corresponding latitude / longitude information.
[0031]
Next, a user's operation when using the golf play information providing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to a screen display on the display unit 5 of the mobile phone 1.
[0032]
First, when the user who is a golf player selects the golf play information providing system from the menu screen of the mobile phone 1, the screen shifts to the input screen of the golf play information providing system (FIG. 4). On the input screen, a drop-down menu "Hall" 17, a drop-down menu "Club selection" 18, and a "shot button" 19 are displayed at the top. Below that, a “○ hit” 20, which indicates the number of hits, a “punishment hit” 21 in the form of a drop-down menu, a “green on button” 22, and a “pat The number "23" is displayed.
[0033]
The user standing on the tee ground of each hall selects “hole” 17 to display the hole options (FIG. 5), and selects a hole number from these options. Next, "Club selection" 18 is selected to display golf club options (FIG. 6), and the type of club to be used is selected from these options.
[0034]
After selecting these, the user selects the “shot button” 19. Thereby, the mobile phone terminal 1 receives a radio wave for calculating the latitude and longitude of the tee shot position (position information of the tee shot) from a GPS satellite or the like, and transmits the radio wave together with the hole number and the information of the type of the golf club. The data is transmitted to the server 3 via the base station. Here, the server 3 that has received the position information can specify the golf course name from the position information. When the “shot button” 19 is selected on the display unit 5 of the mobile phone terminal 1, the number of strokes is counted up, and the display of the “○ hit” 20 changes from the first shot to the second shot.
[0035]
The user who hit the tee shot moves to the landing point of the golf ball, selects the type of club from “select club” 18 on the input screen, and selects the “shot button” 19 before hitting the second shot. . Thereby, the position information of the landing point of the ball is transmitted to the server 3 together with the information of the hole number and the type of the golf club.
[0036]
When the user receives a penalty, for example, in the case of OB, the user selects “penalty strike” 21 to display a penalty strike option (FIG. 7), and selects OB from these. Thereby, the count of the number of hits is reflected on the display of “○ hit” 20 as +1 hit.
[0037]
When the user turns on the green, the user selects the “green on button” 22 to continue the play. After the hole-out, the user selects the “number of puts” 23 to display options for the number of putts (FIG. 8), and selects a corresponding number of putts from these. As a result, the count of the number of hits is counted up as a number corresponding to the number of putts, and is reflected on the display of “○ hit” 20.
[0038]
When the user moves to the next hole, the hole number of “hole” 17 is selected again, and the following operation is performed in the same manner. In the case of ending the play, the “end” button 24 at the lower left of the input screen is selected to end the play.
[0039]
Next, in the golf play information providing system according to the present embodiment, when the server 3 receives information from the mobile phone 1, a processing procedure related to recording will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing of the server.
[0040]
First, when the user ID input on the screen (display unit 5) of the mobile phone terminal 1 by the user who is a golf player before playing golf is sent to the server 3 via the gateway 4 and the Internet 2, the server 3 The ID is received (S1), and the CPU 7 stores the user ID and the mobile phone terminal 1 that transmitted the user ID in association with each other (S2).
[0041]
Next, the server 3 determines whether or not the hole number, the information on the type of the golf club, and the position information have been received from the mobile phone 1 (S3). That is, it was measured from the radio wave received by the mobile phone terminal 1 from the GPS satellite and the base station at the request of the user, together with the hole number and the type of the golf club input by the user on the display unit 5 before hitting the golf ball. When the current position information (latitude / longitude information of the current position) of the mobile phone terminal 1 is sent to the server 3, the server 3 determines in step S3 the hole number, the information of the type of the golf club, and the position information. Judge as received.
[0042]
In step S3, when the server 3 determines that the hole number, the type information of the golf club, and the position information have been received, the information is recorded in the user information database 13 in association with each other (S4), and step S5 is performed. Move to When the server 3 receives the position information for the first time, the golf course map database 14 is searched to identify the golf course name including the latitude and longitude of the position information, and the user information together with the information recorded in step S4. Record in the database 13.
[0043]
In step S5, the server 3 determines whether or not the information on the hole number received in step S3 matches the information on the hole number from the mobile phone terminal 1 received most recently (whether or not the hole numbers are the same). (S5).
[0044]
If the server 3 determines in step S5 that they match, based on two pieces of position information corresponding to the two pieces of hole number information, the distance between the positions indicated by these pieces of position information is determined. Thus, the flight distance of the golf ball is calculated (S6). After recording the flight distance calculated in step 6 in the user information database 13 (S7), the server 3 loops and returns to step S3.
[0045]
On the other hand, if the server 3 determines in step S5 that the information of the hole numbers do not match, the process loops back to step S3 without performing steps S6 and S7.
[0046]
Then, in step S3, when the server 3 determines that the hole number, the information of the type of the golf club, and the position information have not been received, the processing of the server 3 ends.
[0047]
In addition, the server 3 can count up the number of strokes based on the number of times of receiving the position information for each hall from the mobile phone terminal 1, the information of the penalty stroke, and the information of the number of putts. The information is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 1 and recorded in the user information database 13. Specifically, the number corresponding to each penalty strike is predetermined, and the server 3 adds 1 each time the location information is received for each hole, and responds to the information when penalty strike information is received. The number of hits is calculated by adding the number to be put, and when receiving the number of putts, further adding the number corresponding to the number of putts.
[0048]
As described above, the server 3 stores, in the user information database 13, the user ID, the information received by the server 3 from the mobile phone terminal 1, and the number of hits obtained based on the information received from the mobile phone terminal 1. And the flight distance of the ball.
[0049]
Based on the information recorded in the user information database 13, the server 3 can provide golf play information to a user or the like. Next, a description will be given of a processing procedure in which the server 3 provides golf play information in response to a user request in the golf play information providing system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing of the server.
[0050]
For example, a description will be given of a case where, as golf play information, mark map information (map image information of a golf course in which the trajectory of a golf ball for each hole is marked) is provided. First, a user ID, a golf course name, and a date played. When a golf information provision request is sent to the server 3 from a user's home PC, for example, together with information specifying the user and the request content, the server 3 receives the request (S10), and the CPU 7 searches the user information database 13 by the CPU 7. Then, the position information corresponding to the received information is read as a search result (S12).
[0051]
Next, the server 3 searches the golf course map database 14 with the CPU 7 (S13), and reads golf course map information of the golf course including the position indicated by the latitude and longitude of the position information read in step 12 as a search result. (S14).
[0052]
Then, the server 3 uses the golf course map information read in step S14 by the CPU 7 and the latitude / longitude of the position information read in step S12 to determine the position indicated by the latitude / longitude on the golf course map converted into electronic data. A sign is generated to generate sign map information (S15). Specifically, based on the golf course map image information and the latitude / longitude information of the golf course map information and the latitude / longitude of the position information, the position corresponding to the longitude / latitude on the electronic data map is displayed. Marked map information is generated so as to specify a location and to mark the location with a mark.
[0053]
In this manner, the position (the landing point of the ball) indicated by the longitude / latitude of the position information is marked on the map of the golf course, whereby the trajectory of the golf ball for each hit for each hole is marked. In addition, the server 3 corrects the landing point of the ball and the like based on information such as green on in order to improve the accuracy of the golf play information. That is, for example, when the position indicated by the position information received by the server 3 together with the green-on information is not on the green, the server 3 displays a mark indicating the position on the green using the information of the polygon constituting the green. By doing so, the landing point of the ball is corrected.
[0054]
Then, the map image of the golf course marking the trajectory of the golf ball is provided to the user by being displayed on the screen of the user's PC (S16).
[0055]
As described above, in the golf play information providing system, the case where the map image of the golf course in which the trajectory of each hit ball is marked is provided as the golf play information has been described, but the golf play information providing system also provides other golf play information. can do. For example, the server 3 reads information on the flight distance of the ball for each hit corresponding to the golf club recorded in the user information database 13 and totals the flight distance for each golf club to calculate the average. The average flight distance corresponding to the golf club can be provided to the user. Further, the server 3 can calculate a score and a total score for each hole from the information on the number of hits recorded in the user information database 13 and provide the calculated score to the user. FIG. 11 shows an example in which a map image of a golf course in which the trajectory of each hit ball is marked and the average flight distance corresponding to the golf club are displayed on the PC screen as the golf play information.
[0056]
Such golf play information can be provided by the server 3 at any time in response to the user's request when the user inputs and requests a user ID or the like from the mobile phone terminal 1 or another information communication terminal (for example, a PC or the like). Provided. Further, even when there is no request from the user, the server 3 can automatically transmit golf play information such as a golf score to the mobile phone 1.
[0057]
Therefore, for example, the user can display the latest golf play information together with past golf play information on the screen of the PC at home to help his / her own play analysis. The latest information on the trajectory of the robot can be obtained and browsed. Further, it is also possible to check the score in the course of golf play based on the score information distributed to the mobile phone terminal 1 in real time.
[0058]
In addition, in the case of a golf competition, the user registers each party or handicap etc. of the competition, and ranks reflecting the latest scores and handicaps of other parties who are rounding other holes. Can be displayed on the display unit 5 of the mobile phone terminal 1 for confirmation.
[0059]
It is also possible for the server 3 to calculate the distance from the current position of the user who is playing to the green and to transmit the distance to the mobile phone 1. In this case, the user can use the distance information or the like to help the play strategy.
[0060]
In addition, the mobile phone terminal 1 may be the user's own device, or a golf course may be lent to a player at the golf course in order to use the service for members or visitors.
[0061]
In the golf play information providing system according to the present embodiment, the server 3 manages and provides the golf play information based on the information received from the mobile phone terminal 1 via the Internet 2, so that the mobile phone terminal 1 with high versatility is provided. And cost can be reduced unlike the case where a unique storage device is required.
[0062]
Furthermore, when a golf course is introduced, there is no need to provide not only a unique storage device but also a computer for outputting information and the like, so that the burden on costs can be reduced. On the other hand, since the user can use the mobile phone terminal 1 which is likely to be normally carried by the user, there is no need to carry a unique storage device during the play, which may hinder the play. There is no.
[0063]
Further, since the mobile phone terminal 1 and the server 3 can transmit and receive information in real time, the user can always obtain the latest information on the trajectory of the golf ball for each hit, even during play.・ Can be viewed.
[0064]
Furthermore, even when the user plays at different golf courses, the information indicating the status and results of the user's golf play is collectively managed by the server 3, so that information can be integrated between different golf courses. For this reason, for example, the golf play information for each play can be easily displayed on a screen of a PC or the like, and the user's own play analysis or the like can be performed without the user having to separately input and record and manage the information on the computer or the like. It can be done and is very convenient.
[0065]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the present embodiment, a user ID is assigned to each user, but a user ID is assigned to the mobile phone terminal 1. It may be good. In this case, a subscriber ID, a telephone number, or the like of the mobile phone terminal 1 can be used as the user ID.
