Then, north-northeast, atmospheric pressure (1010 [hPa] in this example), temperature (21.5 ° C. in this example), and humidity (63% in this example) are displayed.

When the golf course information provided from the information management center 2 is confirmed, and the user B1, B2,... Wants to make a reservation for the competition at the golf course A on the first scheduled competition date as scheduled. Performs a predetermined reservation operation.
When a reservation acceptance request is made from the fixed terminal 4 to the information management center 2 by the operation of the users B1, B2,... (Step SA16), in the management server 8, the control unit 21 sends the reservation application form to the fixed terminal 4. (Step SA17).
After this, the users B1, B2,... Fill in the reservation application form with all the names and ID numbers of the party members, scheduled competition dates, scheduled start times, etc. When the book is transmitted to the information management center 2 (step SA18), in the management server 8, the control unit 21 determines that the reservation can be accepted after confirming the competition schedule of the day (step SA19). It transmits to the fixed terminal 4 (step SA20). In the fixed terminal 4, when the acceptance completion notice is received, the control unit 61 causes the printing unit 66 to print it (step SA21).

Next, when the user B1, B2,... Wants to obtain detailed information of each hole and weather information before starting the competition on the golf course A, the information is obtained using the portable terminal 3. The management center 2 is accessed and athlete support information is received.
First, a predetermined URL is set by the operation of the users B1, B2,..., The mobile terminal 3 accesses the information management center 2, and after transmitting the ID numbers and passwords of the users B1, B2,. When the authentication process is performed and the portable terminal 3 requests the information management center 2 to browse the player support menu (step SB11 (FIG. 11)), the management server 8 receives the menu browsing request and performs control. The unit 21 transmits athlete support menu information to the portable terminal 3 (step SB12). Thereby, the control part 48 of the portable terminal 3 displays the player assistance menu screen on the display part 55 as shown in FIG.

When “1. golf course” on the player support menu screen is selected by the operation of the users B1, B2,..., A golf course information request is sent to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SB13). The control part 21 of the management server 8 extracts golf course information from the course information database server 9, and transmits it to the portable terminal 3 (step SB14). Further, when presentation of an image of a specific hole is requested, a plan view is displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (step SB15).
In FIG. 15, when a start point and an end point are designated as end points, a cross-sectional view between them is displayed as shown in FIG. When the distance between the start point and the end point is shorter than the screen size, the display is enlarged.

  Further, for example, if the user B1, B2,... Wants to know how to capture a specific hole (for example, the third hole) before hitting the first shot, the user B1, B2,. When “2. Advice information” on the player support menu screen shown in FIG. 12 is selected, the advice menu screen is displayed on the display unit 55 as shown in FIG. Here, when “2. Designated hall advice” on the advice menu screen is selected, a corresponding advice information request is transmitted from the mobile terminal 3 to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SB16).

When receiving the advice information request, the control unit 21 of the management server 8 transmits a positioning information request to the mobile terminal 3 (step SB17).
When the mobile terminal 3 transmits the positioning information to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SB18), the control unit 21 of the management server 8 performs a terminal position calculation process based on the positioning information, and the mobile terminal 3 The position is calculated, and further, distance calculation processing is executed to calculate the distance from the portable terminal 3 to each target position of the hole (step SB19). The control unit 21 of the management server 8 obtains the position information of the mobile terminal 3 and stores it in the user information database server 12 in a constantly updated state.

The control unit 21 of the management server 8 includes, for example, weather information including wind direction and wind speed extracted from the weather information database server 11, course information extracted from the course information database server 9 (for example, terrain information such as inclination), and the like. The recommended golf club number to be used by the user as the player based on the personal information of the user as the player extracted from the user information database server 12 (reference distance information for each type of golf club, etc.) Advice information including information such as the target position and the distance to the target position is generated and transmitted to the portable terminal 3 (step SB20).
Here, for example, when the influence of the wind speed can be ignored, the control unit 21 uses the distance between the position of the mobile terminal 3 calculated by the distance calculation process and the target position as the required flight distance of the hit ball. The required flight distance is collated with reference flight distance information (hit ball flight distance) for each golf club number stored in the user information database server 12, and the golf club number corresponding to the required flight distance is selected as the recommended golf club number. To do.

When the portable terminal 3 receives the advice information, the control unit 48 causes the display unit 55 to display the advice information (step SB21). As shown in FIG. 16, on the screen of the display unit 55, in addition to a plan view, a recommended golf club type is displayed in an advice information display area 78a at the lower left of the screen. On the plan view, target points P1 to P4 are shown.
When the user B1, B2,... Wants to know how to capture all courses, when “1. All course advice” is selected, for example, an image of the entire golf course is displayed and each hole is displayed. Goal points and recommended golf clubs are advised.

Further, in this hole, the user B1, B2,... As a player selects a golf club with reference to the provided course information, weather information, etc. before hitting the first hit, for example. If you want to know the prediction result, perform a pseudo play.
When “3. simulated play” is selected on the player support menu screen shown in FIG. 12, a simulated play request is sent to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SB22). The control part 21 of the management server 8 will request | require setting information, such as a golf club to be used and a stroke direction, with respect to the portable terminal 3, if a pseudo play request | requirement is received (step SB23).

Upon receiving the setting information request, the portable terminal 3 transmits setting information such as the golf club to be used and the stroke direction to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SB24).
The control unit 21 of the management server 8 includes weather information including the type and stroke direction of the golf club used, the wind direction and the wind speed extracted from the weather information database server 11, and course information extracted from the course information database server 9 (for example, , The terrain information such as inclination) and the personal information of the user extracted from the user information database server 12 (reference distance information for each type of golf club, etc.) The locus from the position) to the target position (end point position) is obtained and transmitted as prediction information to the mobile terminal 3 (step SB25).

Here, for example, when the influence of the wind speed can be ignored, the control unit 21 hits the reference flight distance information corresponding to the same golf club number as the used golf club number input by the user and transmitted from the portable terminal 3. Is extracted as a predicted flying distance, a position that is separated from the stroke position along the stroke direction by the predicted flying distance is obtained as a predicted falling position, and a trajectory to the predicted falling position is obtained.
When the mobile terminal 3 receives the prediction information, the control unit 48 causes the display unit 55 to display a trajectory from the hitting ball position (starting point position) to the landing point, as shown in FIG. 17 (step SB26).
Thereafter, the user makes corrections as necessary with reference to the result of the pseudo play, and actually makes the first stroke. In this example, in each hole, users B1, B2,... As competitors record the number of strokes on the score card.

Thus, when the regular round is completed, the player returns to the club house, where the users B1, B2,... Submit the score card to the golf course staff. The golf course staff operates the golf course terminal 14 to display the score table, and inputs the user name and score. From the golf course terminal 14, the score information is transferred to the management server 8 and an aggregation process and an evaluation process are executed.
The management server 8 obtains a score in each hole as an individual counting process, and describes whether or not it is a paron, the number of putts, etc. in the score sheet. For example, the score in the previous competition at this golf course A The reference information such as the difference between the golf clubs used and the golf club used is also described. Next, the management server 8 determines the rank of each member of the party in consideration of the handicap, and records it in the score sheet. The output of the score table is performed using the printing unit 46 or transmitted to the fixed terminal 4 by the operation of the golf course terminal 14.
In addition, you may implement a pseudo play for reflection in a clubhouse after a regular round ends. Moreover, you may carry out as a practice exercise in advance. Advice information may also be received after the competition and used for reflection.

  As described above, according to the configuration of this example, when the pseudo play is selected, the management server 8 of the information management center 2 uses the game support information for supporting the users B1, B2,. Since the trajectory to the falling point (end point) as prediction information corresponding to the golf club to be used is obtained and presented, the user B1, B2,... Looks at the screen of the display unit 55 of the mobile terminal 3 and makes this prediction. Information can be confirmed, and the user B1, B2,... Confirms that the golf club selected by the user is optimal, and makes the hit ball accurately reach the target position while making an accurate judgment without waste. be able to. Therefore, any of the users B1, B2,.

Further, the users B1, B2,... Can confirm whether or not their intuition is correct, for example, by executing a pseudo play (simulation).
In addition, when advice information is selected, for example, an optimum golf club is notified without performing complicated input. Therefore, accurate information can be obtained by simple operation without being confused and accurate. In addition, the hit ball can reach the target position.
Moreover, since the management server 8 presents the information regarding the golf course to the portable terminal 3 or the fixed terminal 4, the users B1, B2,... Confirm the course information of the golf course regardless of the place and time. For example, it can be useful for planning course strategies.
Further, since it is not necessary to use a dedicated device as the mobile terminal 3, and an existing general-purpose mobile phone can be used, the users B1, B2,... Can easily use the system.

18 and 19 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the operation of the player support system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The difference between this example and Example 1 described above is that in Example 1, the recommended golf club number to be used by the user was presented as advice information, but in addition to this, the wind direction and wind speed were supported. The adjustment angle information is also presented.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

In this example, the advice information presentation program stored in the storage unit 22 of the management server 8 presents a procedure for presenting advice information on a rough strategy for all courses and advice information on a strategy for each hole. And a procedure for presenting advice information for each hitting motion are described.
As a procedure for presenting advice information for each hitting motion, for example, the stroke position (start position) and the target position input by the user B1, B2,... And transmitted from the mobile terminal 3, and the weather information database server 11 are extracted. Weather information including wind direction and wind speed, course information extracted from the course information database server 9 (for example, terrain information such as slope), and personal information of the users B1, B2,... Extracted from the user information database server 12. Based on (reference flight distance information and reference deviation angle information for each type of golf club, correction coefficient, etc.), recommended golf club number, recommended adjustment angle information, target position, etc. to be used by the users B1, B2,. Includes procedures for presenting.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when a golf ball is struck from the stroke position (start position) P0 to reach the target position P1, the wind speed Q at this point cannot be ignored. (The direction along the straight line connecting the position and the target position) R0 has a horizontal component (x-axis component) Qx along the orthogonal direction R1 and a vertical component (y-axis component) Qy along the target direction R0. When selecting the type of golf club based on the vertical component Qy and the flight distance information for each golf club of the users B1, B2,..., And based on the horizontal component Qx and the deviation angle information for each golf club. Determine the adjustment angle.

  That is, the distance between the position of the mobile terminal 3 calculated by the distance calculation process and the target position is used as the required flying distance of the hit ball, and the current wind speed Q is expressed as the vertical component Qy in the direction along the target direction R0. The golf club used by the user, which is obtained by decomposing the horizontal component Qx in the direction R1 perpendicular to the target direction and storing the combination of the required flight distance and the vertical component Qy of the wind speed Q in the user information database server 12 The recommended golf club is selected by selecting the recommended golf club by referring to the reference flight distance information corresponding to the vertical component Qy and obtaining the golf club corresponding to the required flight distance and the measured current vertical component Qy. The combination of the recommended golf club and the horizontal component Qx of the wind speed Q is collated with reference deviation angle information corresponding to the horizontal component Qx for each golf club used by the user. Tones corresponding to Find the adjustment angle as the recommended adjustment angle.

  Here, as a combination of the vertical component Qy and the reference distance information or a combination of the horizontal component Qx and the reference deviation angle information, a combination of data within a preset allowable approximate range is extracted. As a result, when an appropriate combination of data does not exist, for example, a predetermined interpolation process is performed, or a reference correction distance information or reference deviation angle information is multiplied by a reference correction coefficient and used as data.

As an example, a case where a correction coefficient is used will be described.
First, the correction coefficient corresponding to the vertical component Qy is extracted from the user information database server 12. This correction coefficient is a number larger than 1 when the wind is blowing in the target direction R0 (in the case of the tailwind), and when the wind is blowing in the opposite direction to the target direction R0 (in the case of the headwind). The number is smaller than 1. With this correction coefficient, the distance to the target calculated by the distance calculation process is divided to obtain a corrected distance, and this corrected distance is applied to the reference flight distance information stored in the user information database server 12, A golf club corresponding to the reference flight distance information is selected.

Further, the correction coefficient corresponding to the selected golf club is extracted from the user information database server 12 corresponding to the lateral component Qx. This correction coefficient is a number greater than 1 when the lateral component Qx is greater than a reference wind speed (for example, 20 [m / s]), and a number less than 1 when the transverse component Qx is less than the reference wind speed. The
The correction coefficient is multiplied by the reference shift angle information stored in the user information database server 12 to obtain corrected shift angle information. A correction direction R2 that is the same magnitude as the deviation angle with respect to the target direction R0 and is shifted by the opposite adjustment angle θ is the recommended stroke direction. In this example, the adjustment angle θ is “+” counterclockwise. This adjustment angle is an angle within a horizontal plane. In addition, when the user's personal information (reference deviation angle information or the like) is not sufficiently accumulated, the personal information of other users is also referred to.

  The pseudo play program is input by the user B1, B2,... By referring to weather information including the wind direction and wind speed, golf information, and distance information to the target calculated by the distance calculation process. 3 is extracted from the course information database server 9 and the weather information including the stroke position (start position), the target position, the used golf club number and the adjustment angle, the wind direction and the wind speed extracted from the weather information database server 11. On the basis of the course information (for example, terrain information such as inclination) and the user's personal information extracted from the user information database server 12 (reference distance information and reference deviation angle information for each type of golf club), For finding and presenting the trajectory from the stroke position (start point position) to the arrival position (end point position) of the hit ball (golf ball) Order is described.

  For example, the current wind speed Q is obtained by decomposing it into a component in a direction along the stroke direction and a component in a direction perpendicular to the stroke direction, and the same golf club as the golf club used and along the stroke direction. The reference flight distance of the hit ball corresponding to the component of the wind speed Q in the direction is obtained as the predicted flight distance, and the reference of the hit ball corresponding to the same golf club as the golf club used and the component of the wind speed Q in the direction orthogonal to the stroke direction A deviation angle is obtained as a predicted deviation angle, a position separated by a predicted flight distance along a direction rotated by a predicted deviation angle with respect to the stroke direction from the stroke position is obtained as a predicted fall position, and a trajectory reaching this predicted fall position is obtained.

Further, in the storage unit 32 of the user information database server 12, data obtained by collecting flight distance information corresponding to each golf club type of each user as a user's personal information collected in a past competition. Or as data measured particularly for providing advice information or for pseudo-playing together with the weather conditions at the time of competition.
Furthermore, data obtained under particularly favorable conditions (for example, no wind, no rain, low discomfort index) is extracted from a large number of flight distance information, an average value is obtained as a representative value, and information is provided for each user. It is stored as reference flight distance information for occasional use. Further, a correction coefficient corresponding to the vertical component Qy of the wind speed Q along the target direction R0 is stored. This correction coefficient is a number larger than 1 when the wind is blowing in the target direction R0 (in the case of the tailwind), and smaller than 1 when the wind is blowing in the direction opposite to the target direction (in the case of the headwind). It is a number.

Further, in the storage unit 32, hit angle deviation information corresponding to each golf club type, wind direction, and wind speed of each user is obtained as data obtained by collecting in a past competition or advice information. It is memorized together with the weather conditions at the time of competition as data measured especially for provision and simulated play.
When the wind speed Q includes a lateral component (x-axis component) Qx along the direction R1 orthogonal to the target direction R0, the magnitude and direction of the lateral component Qx, the target direction R0, and the golf ball The angle in the horizontal plane formed by the flight direction (the direction along the straight line connecting the hit ball position and the drop position) is shown.

Further, data obtained under particularly favorable conditions (for example, no rain, low discomfort index) is extracted from a large number of deviation angle information. For example, the reference wind speed (the orthogonal component of the wind speed, for example, 20 [m / s] ) Is obtained as a representative value corresponding to), and stored as reference deviation angle information for use in providing information for each user. In addition, a correction coefficient corresponding to the magnitude of the lateral component Qx is stored. This correction coefficient is a number greater than 1 when the lateral component Qx of the wind speed Q is greater than the reference wind speed, and a number less than 1 when the transverse component Qx is less than the reference wind speed.
A reverse adjustment angle θ having the same magnitude as the deviation angle indicates a stroke direction to be adjusted in advance. In this example, the counterclockwise direction is positive (“+”) (the horizontal component Qx of the wind speed Q is It is expressed as positive (corresponding to “+”), and negative (“−”) in the clockwise direction (corresponding when the lateral component Qx of the wind speed Q is negative (“−”)).

  In addition, when the user B1, B2,... Is in a predetermined hole and wants to receive advice on the golf club used and the adjustment angle when a strong wind is blowing before hitting the fourth shot, When “3. Advice during ball hitting operation” is selected on the advice menu screen shown in FIG. 13, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, the screen is displayed on the display unit 55. The target line S1 including the correction target line S2 including the correction target point is displayed, and the recommended information display area 79b includes a recommended golf club (7-iron in this example) and a recommended adjustment angle (in this example). + 30 °) is displayed for advice. The weather information display area 79c displays the wind speed (25.0 [m / s] in this example) and the wind direction (west in this example), and the distance information display area 79d displays the distance to the target (this In the example, 110 [Yard]) is displayed.

According to the configuration of this example, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above.
In addition, when the pseudo play is selected, the management server 8 of the information management center 2 uses the wind speed corresponding to the golf club to be used as the competition support information for supporting the users B1, B2,. Since the trajectory to the fall point (end point) is obtained and presented as prediction information considering the user, the users B1, B2,... Check the prediction information by looking at the screen of the display unit 55 of the portable terminal 3. The user B1, B2,... Confirms that the golf club he / she has chosen is optimal in consideration of the wind speed, and makes the hit ball reach the target position accurately while making an accurate judgment without waste. Can do. Therefore, even under strong winds, any of the users B1, B2,.
Further, the users B1, B2,... Can confirm whether or not their intuition is correct, for example, by executing a pseudo play (simulation).

The difference between this example and Example 2 described above is that, in Example 2, the recommended golf club number and adjustment angle information to be used by the user are presented as advice information. It is also a point to present intensity information.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the second embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted.

  In this example, the advice information presentation program stored in the storage unit 22 of the management server 8 includes all course information, hole information, and each hit ball information. For example, the hit ball position (start position) input by the user. And the recommended golf club number and target to be used by the user based on the target position (end point position), weather information, and the user's personal information (reference distance information and reference adjustment angle information for each type of golf club, etc.) A procedure for presenting position, adjustment angle and swing strength is described.

In this example, the swing strength is, for example, when a user B1, B2,... As a player performs a full swing (100%) using a predetermined golf club and the flight distance is 100 [Yard]. The swing strength with the distance of 90 [Yard] is 90%. It is assumed that the users B1, B2,... Can confirm the sense of swing strength by actually trying a swing in a club house, for example, before the competition.
In addition, the pseudo play program refers to weather information including wind direction and wind speed, and the start point position, golf club number, target position, adjustment angle, swing strength, and weather information input by the user B1, B2,. The procedure for obtaining and presenting the trajectory from the starting point position to the ending point position of the hit ball based on the user's personal information (reference flight distance information and reference deviation angle information for each type of golf club) is described. Yes.

According to the configuration of this example, substantially the same effect as that of the second embodiment described above can be obtained.
In addition, since the swing strength is taken into consideration, the hit ball can reach the target position more accurately.

FIG. 20 is a processing procedure diagram for explaining the operation of the player support system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
This example is greatly different from the above-described first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the service is provided mainly during the competition at the golf course using the mobile terminal. The configuration is such that it can be carried out at home using a fixed terminal.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

When the user B1, B2,... Hits the first shot at a predetermined hole of the golf A and selects a predetermined golf club with reference to the provided course information, weather information, etc. If you want to know the prediction result, perform a pseudo play.
A predetermined URL is set by the user's operation, the fixed terminal 4 accesses the information management center 2, and after transmitting the user ID number and password, a predetermined authentication process is performed, and the fixed terminal 4 manages the information. When a player support menu browsing request is made to the center 2 (step SC11 (FIG. 20)), the management server 8 receives this menu browsing request, and the control unit 21 sends the player support menu information to the fixed terminal. 4 (step SC12). Thereby, the control part 61 of the fixed terminal 4 displays the player assistance menu screen on the display part 64, as shown in FIG.

  When “3. simulated play” is selected on the player support menu screen, a simulated play request is sent to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SC13). The control part 21 of the management server 8 will request | require setting information, such as a golf club to be used and a stroke direction, with respect to the fixed terminal 4, if a pseudo play request | requirement is received (step SC14). When receiving the setting information request, the fixed terminal 4 transmits setting information such as the golf club to be used and the stroke direction to the management server 8 of the information management center 2 (step SC15).

  The control unit 21 of the management server 8 includes weather information including the type and stroke direction of the golf club used, the wind direction and the wind speed extracted from the weather information database server 11, and course information extracted from the course information database server 9 (for example, , The terrain information such as inclination) and the personal information of the user extracted from the user information database server 12 (reference flight distance information for each type of golf club, etc.) The locus from the position) to the target position (end point position) is obtained and transmitted as prediction information to the fixed terminal 4 (step SC16). When receiving the prediction information, the fixed terminal 4 causes the display unit 64 to display a trajectory from the hitting ball position (starting point position) to the landing point (step SC17).

According to the configuration of this example, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above.
In addition, for example, it is possible for a user to perform a pseudo-play at home using a fixed terminal. The point can be clarified.

FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the player support system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
This example is greatly different from the first embodiment described above in that a game progress management function is added.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

In this example, it is assumed that the players of each party who compete in the golf course A use this player support system.
The storage unit 22 of the management server 8 stores a competition progress management program and an alarm transmission program. In this game progress management program, the position and time of each mobile terminal 3 of the users B1, B2,... As the players of each party competing in the golf course A are monitored, and the arrangement state of the users in the golf course A The procedure for transmitting an alarm, a progress instruction, a standby instruction, and a rest / meal recommendation notice to the mobile terminal 3 is described.

The alarm transmission program of this example also includes a procedure for transmitting an alarm to the mobile terminal 3, especially when a lightning or fog occurrence forecast is acquired, and the sum of the golf ball flight distance and a predetermined safety distance. The procedure for transmitting an alarm to the portable terminal 3 when each portable terminal 3 of the user is located within the range of and the user is at risk of hitting a hit ball is described.
On the mobile terminal 3, immediately before the start of the competition, the representative of the party's athlete selects “5. Competition Progress Management” and inputs the names and ID numbers of the members, as shown in FIG. By making a competition progress management process start request, the management server 8 transmits an alarm or instruction to the portable terminal 3 as necessary.

  For example, at each party's discretion, when the mobile terminal 3 receives a notice of temporary withdrawal from the course for resting or eating during the competition, or even without notification from the mobile terminal 3, If it is determined from the position information of the terminal 3 that the party has left the course, the management server 8 can, for example, respond to the mobile terminal 3 of the party member when a subsequent party is waiting. Continue to send progress instructions until the interval is tight. In addition, when a return request is received from the mobile terminal 3 of the party that has temporarily left, the mobile terminal 3 of the predetermined party is instructed to wait or receive a rest / meal recommendation at a predetermined timing based on the competition progress of each party The notification is transmitted, and at the same time, the restart acceptance notification is transmitted to the portable terminal 3 that has transmitted the return request.

When the control unit 21 of the management server 8 receives the stroke information from the mobile terminal 3, the mobile terminal 3 is located in a substantially fan-shaped area having a predetermined radius including a predetermined direction from the mobile terminal 3 that has transmitted the stroke information. In response, hit risk information is generated and transmitted. The mobile terminal 3 that has received the hitting danger information outputs a hitting warning from the voice output unit 59.
Further, the control unit 21 of the management server 8 transmits a lightning strike alarm or a fog fog alarm to the portable terminal 3 when acquiring a lightning or fog occurrence forecast from the weather information providing server 6. The mobile terminal 3 that has received the lightning strike warning or the dense fog warning displays a warning message on the display unit 55 and outputs, for example, a voice message from the warning voice output unit 59.

According to the configuration of this example, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above.
In addition, since the management server 8 transmits an alarm and an instruction to the mobile terminal 3 in order to adjust the arrangement state of the user in the golf course A, for example, the useless waiting time is eliminated, and the interval between parties more than necessary. The athlete can enjoy the competition comfortably.
In addition, when the management server 8 obtains a lightning or fog occurrence forecast, it sends a lightning strike alarm, a dense fog alarm, etc. as safety management information to the mobile terminal 3, and safety management information when there is a risk of hitting a ball. Is transmitted to the portable terminal 3, so that the safety of the users B1, B2,. Therefore, the athlete can enjoy the competition while concentrating on the competition with peace of mind.

FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the player support system according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.
This example is greatly different from the fifth embodiment described above in that a facility use guidance function is added.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the fifth embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted.

The information management center has a facility information database server (not shown) that stores information related to facilities such as restaurants and hand washing places in the golf course in a constantly updated state.
A facility terminal installed in a facility such as a restaurant in a golf course is connected to the information management center 2 via the network 5 or directly to the portable terminal 3 via the information management center 2 for facility availability information and advertisement information. Requests for transmission are made possible.
The storage unit 22 of the management server 8 stores a facility usage guidance program. This facility usage guide program describes a procedure for presenting facility availability information such as restaurants, advertisement information, product information, and the like.

The control unit 21 of the management server 8 selects the portable terminal 3 to which the guidance information including facility vacancy information and advertisement information should be transmitted based on the position information of each portable terminal 3 and the corresponding time information, and the selected portable Guidance information is transmitted to the terminal 3 at a predetermined timing, and when the portable terminal 3 reaches a predetermined distance from the facility to be guided, the guidance information regarding the facility is transmitted to the portable terminal 3.
In the portable terminal 3, as shown in FIG. 22, by selecting “6.
