<3. Flow of golf shot analysis processing ＞
The flow of the golf shot analysis process executed by the analysis system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The golf shot analysis process includes a process of collecting shot data via the mobile terminal 1 during a round of golf, uploading the shot data from the mobile terminal 1 to the server 2, and accumulating the shot data. Further, the golf shot analysis process includes a process of analyzing the shot characteristics of the golfer G based on the shot data collected during the past rounds stored in the server 2. That is, in the golf shot analysis process, while collecting shot data, shot analysis is performed based on the already collected shot data. In addition, the golf shot analysis process includes a navigation process for navigating the golfer G's play during the round. In the navigation process, based on the above shot characteristics, information that supports the play of the golfer G during the round is derived, and the information is provided to the user in real time via the mobile terminal 1.

The golf shot analysis process of FIG. 4 is performed during a round of golf. First, when starting a round on a golf course, a user operates a mobile terminal 1 to start an application implemented by program 1A. As a result, the process shown in FIG. 4 starts.

When the application is started, the golf course is selected on the mobile terminal 1 (step S1). The storage unit 23 of the server 2 stores course information related to various golf courses, and in step S1, the course information related to the golf course to be rounded is selected from these. Golf course selection is done manually or automatically. In the manual case, the user operates the input unit 12 of the mobile terminal 1 to input information for specifying the golf course (name, address, etc. of the golf course), and the corresponding course information is obtained from the server 2. It is downloaded to the mobile terminal 1. In the case of automatic, the position measuring unit 14A of the mobile terminal 1 measures the position information of the mobile terminal 1, and based on this position information, the golf course where the user is currently located is specified, and the corresponding course information is similarly obtained. It will be downloaded. The course information may be stored in the storage unit 13 of the mobile terminal 1 or may be acquired from a server other than the server 2. The course information of this embodiment includes map information of the hall. In addition, the map information of the hall includes a plan map 40 of the hall divided into various areas such as a tee ground, a green, a pin, a fairway, a rough, an OB zone, a forest, a bunker, a pond, and a creek (FIGS. 5 and 5). 6 etc.) is included, and the scale information of the map 40 is also included.

In the following step S2, the analysis unit 14E analyzes the shot of the golfer G based on the shot data of the golfer G accumulated in the database 3 so far. First, the analysis unit 14E downloads the past shot data regarding the golfer G from the server 2 together with various related information, and calculates the amount of deviation between the target value and the result value of each past shot. The target value and the result value include information on the hitting direction and the flight distance, and the deviation amount of the hitting direction and the flight distance is calculated as the deviation amount. The amount of deviation in the hitting direction can be expressed as the distance between the straight line connecting the hitting point and the target point and the result point (the length of the vertical line drawn from the result point to the same straight line). Can also be distinguished. The amount of deviation in flight distance can be expressed as a value obtained by subtracting the distance from the hitting point to the result point from the distance from the hitting point to the target point. The analysis unit 14E analyzes the deviation amount for each count to analyze the tendency of shot variation for each count as the shot characteristics of the golfer G. As an index showing the tendency of variation, for example, the average value and the variance of the deviation amount with respect to the hitting direction and the flight distance are calculated.

The analysis unit 14E also analyzes the shot characteristics of the golfer G by analyzing the actual flight distance for each count. At this time, the analysis unit 14E calculates the average flight distance for each count based on the result value regarding the flight distance included in the downloaded past shot data, and further, the flight distance for each count is based on the average flight distance. Calculate a guide. At this time, the variance of the flight distance may be calculated together with the average flight distance, and a guideline for the flight distance may be calculated based on these.

In addition, the analysis unit 14E also analyzes the shot characteristics of the golfer G by analyzing the situations that he is not good at. Situations that are not good are identified based on downloaded past shot data and various related information. In the database 3, information about the hitting point of each shot is stored in association with the shot data corresponding to the shot. Therefore, by superimposing the information on the hitting point and the map information on the hole, it is possible to know what kind of situation each shot was made. The analysis unit 14E counts the number of strokes required to escape from a specific situation such as a bunker, rough, or forest, and determines that the specific situation with a large number of strokes is not good.

The shot characteristics of the golfer G described above are appropriately uploaded to and stored in the database 3. Then, when the same analysis is performed next time, the arithmetic processing can be simplified by appropriately referring to the existing values and updating the same values.

The database 3 of the server 2 stores the personal information of the golfer G in association with the golfer ID. Personal information includes golfer G's age, height, weight and gender, as well as information about the golf club used by golfer G. The golf club information includes information for identifying the golf club (hereinafter referred to as a club ID, for example, information on the manufacturer name and model number) and information indicating the number of the golf club, and these information. Are associated with each other. The analysis unit 14E can analyze the shot based on not only the shot data but also such personal information. For example, in the database 3, shot data and various related information regarding a large number of golfers G are collected from a large number of mobile terminals 1. Therefore, the analysis unit 14E has items such as the age included in the personal information and the count included in the golf club information based on the shot data at the time of the round of a large number of golfers G accumulated in the database 3 and various related information. Separately, the shot is analyzed by calculating the tendency of variation. The results of such analysis beyond golfer G can be utilized for the development, sale, and fitting of golf clubs.

In the following step S3, the screen creation unit 14F creates a capture route screen W1 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) and displays it on the display unit 11. The capture route screen W1 is a screen including a plane map 40 of the hall where the user is currently present and an image in which the capture route 50 is superimposed on the plane map 40. The capture route 50 is derived by the analysis unit 14E based on the map information of the current hole included in the course information acquired in step S1 and the shot characteristics of the golfer G calculated in step S2. Here, the analysis unit 14E determines the capture route 50 of the next shot suitable for the golfer G.

FIG. 5 is an example of the capture route screen W1 before making the first shot in a certain hole. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, steps S2 and S3 are repeatedly executed until the end of the round, and are also executed before the second and subsequent shots in each hole are performed. FIG. 6 is an example of the capture route screen W1 before making the third shot in the same hole as in FIG. On the plane map 40, the current point, the final target point, and the target point recommended for the next shot (hereinafter referred to as the recommended target point) are displayed. The final target point is a position at the center of the pin or the green, which can be appropriately selected by the user. Further, on the plane map 40, after the end of the first shot in each hole, the end route 51 is displayed in addition to the capture route 50. The end route 51 includes the result point of each shot that has already been completed, and further includes the target point before the shot of each shot that has already been completed. In the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6, the result point of the Nth hit is displayed by a square mark showing the numerical value of N, and the target point of the Nth hit is displayed by a circle mark showing the numerical value of N. .. Further, a dotted straight line for representing the capture route 50 is drawn between the current position and the recommended target point. A solid line is drawn between the hit point and the result point of each shot in the past to represent the end route 51, and one point to represent the end route 51 between the hit point and the target point before the shot. A chain line is drawn.

In step S3, the analysis unit 14E is recommended to use the golf club number (hereinafter referred to as the recommended number) for the next shot in addition to the recommended target point on the next shot in order to determine the capture route 50. ) Is decided. The recommended count is displayed as a default value in the count input box B1 (details will be described later) on the capture route screen W1. Further, the recommended target point is not only displayed graphically on the map 40, but also displayed as a default value in the target input box B2 (details will be described later) on the capture route screen W1. In this way, the analysis unit 14E continues to analyze the shot of the golfer G in step S3, and as a result of the analysis, determines the recommended target point and the recommended number suitable for the golfer G.

The recommended target point and recommended number are determined as follows. That is, according to step S2, at the time of execution of step S3, as the shot characteristics of the golfer G, an index showing a tendency of variation for each count (average and dispersion of the amount of deviation between the target value and the result value regarding the hitting direction and the flight distance). ), The average flight distance, and the guideline of the flight distance are calculated. Based on this information, the analysis unit 14E, for example, as a recommended number, even if the distance from the current position to the final target point is the driver (after the second shot in each hole, even if it is the longest club excluding the driver). If it is longer than the guideline for the flight distance, select the driver, and if it is shorter, select the number according to the remaining distance. The recommended target point is, for example, if the distance from the current point to the final target point is longer than a certain value (for example, a guideline for the flight distance of the recommended number), it is located on the standard capture route, and if it is short, it is located. Decide so that it overlaps with the final target point. The standard capture route is, for example, a route drawn so as to pass through the center point in the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the fairway along the traveling direction between the current point and the final target point.

In addition, when determining the recommended target point and recommended number, various conditions such as the tendency of golfer G's shots to vary and information on situations that he is not good at are taken into consideration. For example, if there is a creek that crosses the fairway and it is judged that there is a high possibility of entering the creek due to the tendency of the flight distance, the count can be excluded from the recommended count. Also, for example, if golfer G is not good at escaping from the bunker, there is a bunker in front of the right side of the green, and the recommended number determined based on the distance to the final target point is often removed in front of the right side. think of. In such a case, the recommended target point can be shifted from the final target point to the far left, and the number that matches the recommended target point after the shift can be selected as the recommended number.

As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of capture routes 50 based on the combination of the recommended target point and the recommended number can be displayed. For example, consider the case where a certain number reaches the final target point on the green, but it is often removed to the left, and there is a pond in front of the left side of the green. In this case, the recommended number is the number that reaches the final target point, the recommended target point is shifted to the right from the final target point, and the recommended number is shorter than the one that does not reach the pond, and the recommended target point is the same number. It is possible to display a plan set according to the flight distance. The object displaying the capture route 50 accepts selection, and the value corresponding to the latest selected capture route 50 is input in the count input box B1 and the target input box B2, which will be described later.

In the following step S4, the count acquisition unit 14D receives the input of the golf club count used in the next shot from the user. Specifically, on the capture route screen W1, a count input box B1 that accepts the count input is displayed. As already mentioned, in the count input box B1, the recommended count of the next shot is displayed as a default value in order to help the user select the count of the next shot. The golfer G can use the recommended number as it is for the next shot, and in such a case, it is not necessary to newly input the number in the number input box B1.

On the other hand, the golfer G may want to use a number different from the recommended number depending on the condition of the day. In such a case, the user inputs the number to be used in the next shot by updating the current display in the number input box B1. The count acquisition unit 14D acquires the same count information (hereinafter referred to as the selected count) as the count information used in the next shot according to the same input. In response to this, the screen creation unit 14F creates an analysis result screen W2 that displays the analysis result of the shot in order to help the user in final selection of the count. The analysis result screen W2 may be displayed side by side or superimposed on the capture route screen W1, or may be displayed in place of the capture route screen W1.

As shown in FIG. 8, a graph G1 showing a tendency of variation in the selection number is displayed on the analysis result screen W2. Graph G1 is a plane graph in which the horizontal axis is the amount of deviation in the hitting direction and the vertical axis is the amount of deviation in the flight distance. All indicated points are plotted. The origin of the graph G1 is the target value. On the graph G1, the average value of the deviation amount of the hitting direction and the flight distance is shown, and one or more circles C1 centered on the point showing these average values and having the magnitude of variation as the radius are displayed. The radius. Further, on the analysis result screen W2, the same graph G1 is displayed for the counts before and after the selected count. The graphs G1 of the previous and next counts may be switched and displayed on the screen W2 from the graph G1 of the selected count, or may be displayed side by side.

Further, on the analysis result screen W2, a graph G2 showing the tendency of variation for each count is also displayed. The graph G2 is also a planar graph in which the amount of deviation in the hitting direction is taken on the horizontal axis and the amount of deviation in the flight distance is taken on the vertical axis. To.

Further, when the analysis unit 14E acquires the information of the selection number of the next shot by the count acquisition unit 14D, the analysis unit 14E uses the selection number in the next shot based on the shot characteristics of the golfer G regarding the selection number. Calculate the predicted value of the result of the next shot. Further, the analysis unit 14E also calculates the predicted value of the result of the next shot when the counts before and after the selected count are used in the next shot. The predicted value includes a value indicating a flight distance and a hitting direction. The screen creation unit 14F displays a capture route 52 indicating a target point (hereinafter referred to as a predicted target point) based on these predicted values on the plane map 40 of the capture route screen W1 (see FIG. 9). FIG. 9 shows an example when the 6-iron is newly selected. The user can appropriately select the display or non-display of the capture route 52 regarding the counts before and after. The object displaying the capture route 52 accepts selection, and the value corresponding to the latest selected capture route 50 or 52 is displayed in the count input box B1 and the target input box B2, which will be described later.

The count used in the next shot can be manually input to the count input box B1 via the keyboard, mouse, operation button, etc., but the club information held in the golf club is input to the golf club via the reader of the mobile terminal 1. It is also possible to input easily by reading. The club information is information that can identify the golf club count, and may be information indicating the count itself or may be a club ID. In the latter case, the count acquisition unit 14D can acquire the count information by collating the club ID with the golf club information in the database 3. The reader of the mobile terminal 1 can be realized in various forms. For example, the club information is stored in a chip embedded in the golf club, and the communication unit 15 as a leader performs non-contact communication or short-range wireless communication with this chip, so that the count acquisition unit 14D stores the club information. You may try to get it. Alternatively, the club information may be held in the golf club in the form of a bar code or the like, and the camera included in the input unit 12 may be operated as a reader to read the information.

In the following step S5, the target setting unit 14B accepts the input of the target point of the next shot from the user. Specifically, a target input box B2 that accepts input of a target point is displayed on the capture route screen W1. In the target input box B2, the direction from the current point to the target point (hereinafter referred to as the target direction) and the distance from the current point to the target point (hereinafter referred to as the target distance) can be input. The target direction is specified based on the direction from the current position to the final target point. As already described, in the target input box B2, a value indicating a recommended target point or a predicted target point of the next shot is displayed. The golfer G can adopt the recommended target point or the predicted target point as the target point of the next shot as it is, and in such a case, it is not necessary to newly input the target point in the target input box B2.

On the other hand, golfer G may want to set a target point different from the recommended target point depending on the condition of the day. In such a case, the user inputs the target point of the next shot by updating the current display in the target input box B2. The target setting unit 14B sets the target value for the next shot according to the same input. The screen creation unit 14F displays the capture route 53 corresponding to the set target point on the plane map 40 of the capture route screen W1 (see FIG. 10).

The target point of the next shot can be manually input to the target input box B2 via the keyboard, mouse, operation button, etc., but by selecting a specific point on the plane map 40 of the capture route screen W1, You can also enter it easily. At this time, a specific point on the plane map 40 may be selected by operating the touch panel. The touch panel may be operated with a finger or a stylus, but it is preferable to use a stylus with a fine tip. When the target point is input on the plane map 40, the target value of the next shot is set in the same manner, and the capture route 53 is displayed on the plane map 40. Further, when the target point is input on the plane map 40, the screen creation unit 14F updates the display in the target input box B2 to the value corresponding to the input target point.

As described above, the user knows the prediction result of the next shot when various counts are used together with the recommended target point and the recommended count while sequentially inputting the information of various counts as necessary, and the next shot. The number and target point can be finalized. After the final determination of the count and target point of the next shot, the user actually uses the final determined count to perform a shot aiming at the final determined target point.

In the following step S6, the result acquisition unit 14C accepts the input of the result point of the finished shot from the user. Specifically, the user moves to the arrival point of the ball while holding the mobile terminal 1 on the golf course, and makes a predetermined input to the mobile terminal 1 there. In response to this, the result acquisition unit 14C measures the position information via the position measurement unit 14A and acquires this position information as the result point.

Further, the result point can be automatically input by reading from the ball via the reader of the mobile terminal 1. In this case, the chip embedded in the ball is equipped with the same position measurement function as the position measurement unit 14A. Then, the communication unit 15 as a leader may perform non-contact communication or short-range wireless communication with this chip, so that the result acquisition unit 14C acquires the position information as the result point from the ball. Alternatively, the chip embedded in the ball stores information that can identify the ball, and when the communication between the communication unit 15 and the ball is successful, the result acquisition unit 14C passes the result point via the position measurement unit 14A. You may try to acquire the position information as.

Further, the result point can be easily input by selecting a specific point on the plane map 40 of the capture route screen W1. At this time, a specific point on the plane map 40 may be selected by operating the touch panel. The touch panel may be operated with a finger or a stylus, but it is preferable to use a stylus with a fine tip. This method is useful when the ball is OB (out of bounds) and the user does not move to the arrival point of the ball.

In the following step S7, the information of the count, the target value, and the result value of the shot finished immediately before is uploaded from the mobile terminal 1 to the server 2. The information on the count and the target value transmitted to the database 3 corresponds to the values input in the input boxes B1 and B2, respectively, at the time when the result point is input. This information is associated with the golfer ID and stored in the database 3.

The above steps S2 to S7 are repeated until it is determined in step S8 that the round is completed. That is, steps S2 to S7 are executed for each shot in the round. The end of the round is determined based on the user's input to that effect, the result point of the final hole, and so on.

When it is determined that the round is completed, the round result screen W3 (see FIG. 11) is displayed on the display unit 11 for reviewing the round (step S9). The round result screen W3 is a screen for displaying the result of the round, and is created by the screen creation unit 14F. On the round result screen W3, the count of each shot of each hole (including the count actually used and the recommended count), the target point, and the result point are displayed. The target point and the result point are plotted on the plane map 40 displayed on the round result screen W3 together with the start point and the final target point. In the example of FIG. 11, the result point of the Nth hit is displayed by a square mark showing the numerical value of N, and the target point of the Nth hit is displayed by a circle mark showing the numerical value of N. In addition, a dotted straight line is drawn between the hitting point and the target point, and a solid line is drawn between the hitting point and the result point. Such a screen W3 can be confirmed at an arbitrary timing so as to be utilized for future play, and can be confirmed, for example, after returning home or when at a golf practice field. Similarly, for each number of golf clubs owned by the golfer G, an analysis result screen as shown in FIG. 8 can be created and displayed on the mobile terminal 1 at an arbitrary timing.
