Description

The present invention is a system useful for improving, experiencing, and introducing the skills of archery competitions such as archery and archery. Concerning the imaging, recording, and distribution systems to be performed.

Archery, which uses an arrow to hit the target with an arrow, is an ancient Japanese martial art and archery culture. Also, in the West, an original bow competition is held as an archery, and it is popular not only as a hobby but also as a competition. Archery is an ancient Japanese martial art that was used not only for hunting and war as a weapon, but also as a bow and arrow ritual. And so on. In addition, as an archery, there is also an aspect that emphasizes the path of mental and physical training.

Therefore, as archery, the actions and shooting methods that should be learned as martial arts archery are listed. It depends on each school, but the typical ones are "Gosho" (Makiwara-mae, Mae, Toya-mae, Sayamae, Kaname) and "Rokushina" (Yumiko). There are bows, bows, bows, bows, and tanshin). In addition, as a concrete archery technique, "shooting method eight sections" (described later), in which a series of steps are divided into eight sections, are often used.

On the other hand, archery has an aspect as a targeting competition, and has elements that anyone can enjoy as entertainment as well as shooting and shooting. Therefore, there is a demand for archery that can be enjoyed by inexperienced archers, foreign tourists, gamers (game lovers), and the like. In particular, foreign tourists recognize that Kyudo is a Japanese martial arts culture, and many foreigners want to experience Kyudo and come into contact with Japanese culture if they can feel free to do it. A system for introductory archery, experience of archery, practice / training of archery, and skill improvement is desired while satisfying the demands of games and entertainment as such archery competition.

As a prior art, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for analyzing archery movements for the purpose of archery training and technical improvement, and Patent Document 2 discloses an archery training device that synchronizes the breath of archery and bow launch. It has been disclosed. Further, in sports other than archery, various devices devised for skill improvement and training such as a golf practice system are disclosed (for example, Patent Document 3, Patent No. 5394553).

However, these disclosed techniques were not always satisfactory for the introduction, experience, and skill improvement of archery, and lacked entertainment. For foreign tourists and those who have not experienced archery, archery cannot be easily experienced due to behavior, knowledge, mental and physical training, Shinto ritual elements, etc., and the practice of experience and skill improvement is limited in Japan. It is only possible in places where archery is possible, which makes archery experience and archery practice invaluable. In other words, for those who have no experience in archery and foreign tourists, it is unclear how to do archery, how to do it because the behavior is complicated, and how to improve the technique. I can't find any training system.

FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view of an archery field to which the embodiment system of the present invention is applied. The length of the Kyudo 11 and the position of the target 12 differ depending on the indoor, outdoor, and school, but the archery field 10 is roughly divided into a near field and a distant field. The near field has a distance of 28 m from the range 13 to the target 12, the diameter of the target 12 is one shaku and two inches (36 cm), and the far field has a distance of 60 m and the diameter of the target 12 is 1 m. The distance of the distant field is almost the same as archery, which is a Western archery, and it can be used for both purposes. Most of the distant fields where it is necessary to secure a distance are outdoors, and the indoor archery field is almost a near field. Also, for entertainment and practice, there are some archery fields that are shorter than the distance of this near field.

The target field 14 is solidified with soil (Azuchi), a straw cylinder, or sand at a slight inclination angle with respect to the 11th surface of the arrow path, and the target 12 is installed in the center of the slope of the mat field 14. Normally, an arrow repellent film 15 is stretched in the middle of the arrow path to prevent the arrow from deviating upward. The range 13 is a place where an archer (or an archer) performs an archery technique, and a monitor 16 is installed in front of the archer. Further, a rear camera 17 and a front camera 18 for recording the archer's performance are installed behind and in front of the archer, and the performance is photographed from the front and the back of the performer.

Further, in the middle part of the arrow path 11, a target camera 19 for photographing the hit situation from the front of the target to the target 12 is installed. Further, a target side camera 20 is installed in the vicinity of the target 12 and / or inward of the target 12. The target side camera 20 photographs the arrow shot by the archer from the target side. FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the target side camera 20 and the target center camera 20'arranged in the vicinity of the target and the target 12. Although the target side camera 20 is arranged in the vicinity of the target 12, it may be arranged as the target center camera 20'in the center of the target (referred to as medium white or regular archery in archery), or a plurality of may be arranged.

Further, FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory view of the camera module 22 and its surroundings applied to the target side camera 20 and the target center camera 20'of the present invention. Since the target side camera 20 and the target center camera 20'are installed in or near the target, it is necessary to avoid the impact of the arrow. Therefore, an arrow repellent member 21 is provided in front of the target side camera 20 and the target center camera 20'. The camera module 22 currently used in smartphones and the like can be diverted because the square top panel when viewed from the front has a miniaturized size of about 8 x 8 mm. The radius of the white circle, which is the center of the target 12, is 3.6 cm, which is a size that does not cause a sense of discomfort even when this camera module is embedded. The standard smartphone camera module 22 is composed of a substantially square module in which a plurality of wide-angle lens units, a lens drive actuator (VCM), a color filter, an image sensor, and a circuit board (PCB) are integrated, and has pixel performance. Also covers from high-definition (about 2000x1000 pixels) to 4K (about 4000x2000 pixels) image quality. A transparent arrow repellent member 21 is provided in front of the camera module 22 (on the front side of the target) in an integrated manner with the camera module.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the arrow repellent member 21 has the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, but it is sufficient to slightly avoid the incoming arrow, and the shape with a thin tip can cover the camera module. Is enough. Further, the material of the arrow repellent member 21 is preferably made of reinforced plastic or the like which is transparent and can withstand the impact of an incoming arrow. Further, behind the camera module 22 (on the back side of the target), a cushioning material 23 which is a shock absorbing material when an arrow hits the arrow repellent member 21 is provided. The cushioning material 23 may be a rubber material as an elastic cushioning material or a cushioning material using a mechanical spring.

Further, an impact detection sensor 24 is arranged behind the cushioning material 23. The impact detection sensor 24 detects the case where an arrow hits the target side camera 20'located at the center of the target 12. In archery, the central part is a middle white or a regular ridge, and in the case of a near field, the central white circle is a circle with a radius of 3.6 cm (middle white), and a black circle with a width of 3.6 cm (1) toward the outside. Black), 3.0 cm wide white circle (2 white), 1.5 cm wide black circle (2 black), 3.0 cm wide white circle (3 white), 3.3 cm wide black circle It is composed of (outer black). Therefore, when the arrow hits the target center camera 20'located at the center of the target, it shoots through the true center, and this is detected by the impact detection sensor 24, and the target is directed to the center of the middle white and the center of the sword. It can be configured to emit a medium tone.

In order to apply the above-mentioned invention to archery training and instruction, a system is configured by a block diagram as shown in FIG. Image processing is performed by the archer's rear camera 17, front camera 18, target front camera 19 located in the middle of the arrow, and target side camera 20 (or target center camera 20') located near the target. It is connected to the means 41 by wire or wirelessly. In the case of wireless connection, each camera can be achieved by wireless LAN (Local Area Network), bluetooth or PLC (Power Line Communication) which is power line communication.

The video processing means 41 performs SW (switcher) processing for switching and selecting a camera input signal and display method processing such as video signal division. By this process, it is set so that the images of the archer's actions and the hit / miss state of the target can be displayed independently or by switching between the split screens. The output signal of the video processing means 41 is input to the video control means 42. The video control means 42 is connected to the monitor means 43 and the network means 44. The network means 44 is an Internet network, and can be distributed and communicated to a platform 45 or the like of various social network systems. In addition, it is connected so as to be capable of interactive communication with a coach terminal means 46 or the like who is an experienced archer or an expert. Further, the network means 44 is connected to a cloud 47 provided with archery instruction, training program data 48 and record storage means 49. The record storage means 49 stores not only the archer's archery results, but also the video of past actions and training as recorded data, and also stores the video data of other archers.

The image control means 42 extracts the archery instruction and training program data 48 stored in the cloud 47 and displays them on the monitor means 16, performs interactive communication with the instructor coach 46, and selects a camera input signal. Controls the extraction, selection, display, recording / saving, and instructions of various videos and data, such as selecting past training and results. In addition, it has a function to analyze video processing such as analysis, slow, stop, fast forward, and search of the archer's actions necessary for training and experience. This video control means 42 can be achieved by a PC (PERSONAL COMPUTER) capable of video processing.

In the device system according to the present invention, an inexperienced archer or a beginner calls an introductory program 48 configured for introductory archery from the cloud 47 and displays it on a monitor means 16 arranged in front of the archer. The archer learns the archery movement according to the movement program displayed on the monitor means 16 at the range 13, and experiences the movement displayed in the program by imitating it. Kyudo Shosaku teaches the basics of shooting arrows by dividing them into eight sections, and is said to be eight sections of shooting. Its basic content consists of the following eight actions; 1. Stepping: The action of stepping on both feet toward the target at the range. Torso construction: Based on stepping, the movement and posture of keeping the upper body resting on both legs. Bow stance: Preparatory movements performed before turning the arrow and pulling the bow 4. Launch: The action of lifting both fists with a bow and arrow up. Draw: Push the bow from the raised position, pull the strings, and pull down while opening both fists to the left and right. Meeting: With the bow pulled out, the arrow is aiming at the target, 7. Away: The act of shooting an arrow, 8. Zanshin: Posture after the arrow is fired.

Even if you are an inexperienced person or a beginner, compare the images of the instructor and the archer on the left and right two screens for each section of the eight sections of the shooting method according to the basic operation shown in the introductory program, and imitate the instructor's operation. This makes it easy to get started with archery. Further, when the system according to the present invention is used for training or improvement, it is possible to receive interactive guidance from the video control means 42 with the expert or the instructor coach terminal means 46. In the case of archery, the bow is asymmetrical up and down, and the repulsive force differs greatly depending on the position of the fulcrum (grip), so the position of the grip is extremely important. In addition, the extension and direction of the left hand (pushing hand) and the right hand, the point of shifting to the state of pushing the arrow of the string, the posture according to the muscle mass, etc. are reproduced in the video, which is difficult to understand only by personal experience. By receiving guidance from experts and coaches, you can improve and improve the effectiveness of training.

In the system according to the present invention, a series of movements from the start (stepping) to the end (remaining heart) of the archery operation, and from the state where the arrow is separated to the target are performed by the archer's rear camera 17, front camera 18, and target. It can be photographed by the front camera 19 and the target side camera 20 (or the target center camera 20') and displayed on the monitor 16. FIG. 5 is a four-divided display on the monitor means 16. As for the display method, each camera image is divided into four, divided into two, or independently displayed by the switcher image processing means 41, or the model performance of the coach 46 downloaded from the net and the behavior of the trainee are displayed on the left and right for practice. It is also possible to do it.

Such an image on a monitor can be used not only for checking one's own behavior, correcting a form, etc., but also for distributing and transmitting oneself to various social network systems (SNS) connected to the Internet network 44. In particular, foreign tourists can send the experience of Kyudo as Japanese culture to friends, family and acquaintances in their own country and around the world in real time and record it as a memory of their trip.

Further, in this system, the score is calculated from the image acquired by the target front camera 19 which is arranged at the intermediate point of the arrow and is displayed on the monitor 16. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of score calculation. Archery scores include "hit", which simply competes for "hit" and "missing" to the target, "scoring system", which scores higher as the arrow hits the center closer to the center, shooting, and shooting. There is a "scoring system" that scores shapes such as attitudes, but in competitions with a "scoring system", the points are counted each time the competition is held. In the present invention, simply, the score of the image of the competition result acquired by the target camera 19 can be visually calculated, or the score can be automatically calculated by the video processing means 42.

As an automatic calculation method of the hit rate and the score, it is also possible to acquire which part of the monitor 16 is hit by the position information on the screen, and automatically calculate and display it. In addition, as another method, an image of the competition result acquired by the target camera 19 is once recorded, and the recorded image and the standardized target image (reference image) are image-compared to hit any part. Calculate what you did. This image processing is to deduct the reference image from the image of the record of the archery competition result, easily determine which part was hit by simply finding the tip position of the arrow in the difference image, and calculate the score. Can be done. By automating the score calculation in this way, the competition result can be found immediately, and further, if a plurality of systems according to the present invention are connected to each other via an internet network, it is possible to compete as an archery game among a plurality of competitors. be.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target side camera 20 is provided with an arrow repellent member to prevent collision with an arrow, and can be arranged at the center of the target 12 as the target center camera 20'. With this target center camera 20', an arrow shot from the range 13 is photographed as it flies toward the target 12, so that a powerful image is recorded. As a result, the entertainment of archery can be improved, and tourists can experience the Japanese culture and also deliver the charm and power of archery.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an impact sensing sensor 24 is arranged behind the cushioning material 23 of the target center camera 20', whereby a signal when the center of the target is shot through can be obtained. By acquiring this signal, a normal center sound is inserted as a sound effect in accordance with the image of the target center camera 20', and the system becomes more entertaining. In addition, archery can be configured as a more familiar Japanese cultural martial art by adding points in the case of a regular match or by constructing a regular match competition.

Although the experience of archery and the training system have been described as examples of the present invention, the present invention also aims at the target competitions such as archery (Western archery), Mongolian archery, Chinese archery and shooting (shaki). It can be applied within the range of. In particular, archery and Japanese archery have many similarities, and the steps equivalent to the Japanese "Kyudo 6-section" are applied to archery.
