(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same constituent elements or members, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a drop position notification device 1 according to the first embodiment. The drop position notification device 1 in the first embodiment is configured in the shape of spectacles and worn so as to cover the front of the wearer's field of vision.

The drop position notification device 1 has a see-through display 3 . In the first embodiment, the display 3 is shown as an example of the display section in the present invention.

The display 3 can display a notification display image 30 that notifies the landing point of the golf ball 100 . When the wearer wears the fall position notification device 1 , the wearer can view the scenery in front through the display 3 and can visually recognize the notification display image 30 displayed on the display 3 .

Through the display 3, the wearer can visually recognize the landscape in front and the notification display image 30 superimposed on each other. That is, the wearer can recognize at which point golf ball 100 exists in the golf course.

The drop position notification device 1 includes an information processing section (not shown) at a predetermined position. When the information processing section is driven, it causes the CPU to function as the control section 2 . Functions of the control unit 2 will be described later.

The drop position notification device 1 includes a camera 5 capable of photographing the front of the wearer. The camera 5 can image the flight mode of the golf ball 100 and the like. Based on the image of the golf ball 100 captured by the camera 5, the control unit 2 can acquire movement information of the golf ball 100 immediately after being hit.

Movement information is information based on the flight mode of golf ball 100 hit by a golf club. As an example, the movement information may include the initial velocity, launch angle, rotation speed, rotation direction, and the like of golf ball 100 .

The drop position notification device 1 includes an acceleration sensor 7 and an angular velocity sensor 9 . The acceleration sensor 7 is a sensor that measures acceleration occurring in each of three axial directions. The angular velocity sensor 9 is a sensor that measures angular velocity generated around three axes.

Based on the acceleration and angular velocity detected by these sensors, the fall position notification device 1 can detect which direction the device is moving or which direction it faces depending on the movement of the wearer's head. In addition to these, the drop position notification device 1 may include known detectors capable of detecting acceleration and angular velocity.

The fall position notification device 1 exemplified in the first embodiment may include a beam irradiation unit 20 that controls ON/OFF of a beam that can be irradiated toward the front of the wearer. Since the beam irradiation unit 20 irradiates the beam forward of the wearer, the fall position notification device 1 can measure the distance from the wearer to the arrival point P where the beam reaches.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the drop position notification device 1 according to the first embodiment. The drop position notification device 1 causes the CPU to function as the control unit 2 by executing a control program.

The drop position notification device 1 includes a communication interface 10 that serves as an interface when the control unit 2 communicates with other devices or servers. The control unit 2 includes a ball detection unit 12 that detects the golf ball 100 and an information acquisition unit 14 that acquires movement information.

The ball detection unit 12 is a processing unit that detects the golf ball 100 . The ball detection unit 12 detects the golf ball 100 from the image acquired from the camera 5 based on pre-stored feature elements.

FIG. 3A shows an example in which characters are displayed on the surface of the golf ball 100. FIG. The information acquisition unit 14 detects features ST matching the feature information in the golf ball 100 detected by the ball detection unit 12 .

In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the information acquisition unit 14 can detect the feature ST made up of the characters "***GOLF" when the feature information includes characters. The information acquisition unit 14 may acquire information about the position where the detected feature ST is arranged.

The information acquisition unit 14 may acquire movement information including the direction, the number of rotations, the direction of rotation, and the like when the golf ball 100 is launched from the movement mode of the feature ST.

FIG. 3(b) is a diagram showing an example of a detection mode of the feature ST that is different from the case described above. When the ball detection unit 12 detects the golf ball 100 , the information acquisition unit 14 may detect a display in the golf ball 100 having a color different from the underlying color.

In the example shown in FIG. 3B, the surface of golf ball 100 is painted with a base color paint. When the feature ST displayed on the surface of the golf ball 100 has a color different from the underlying color, the information acquiring section 14 may detect the feature ST.

In the example shown in FIG. 3B, the information acquisition unit 14 may detect the position where the feature ST is displayed. The information acquisition unit 14 may acquire movement information including the direction, the number of rotations, the direction of rotation, and the like when the golf ball 100 is launched from the movement mode of the feature ST.

Returning to the block diagram of FIG. 2 , the control unit 2 includes a trajectory information generating unit 16 that generates trajectory information regarding the trajectory of the golf ball 100 . In the first embodiment, the trajectory information generation unit 16 is a processing unit that generates trajectory information based on the movement information acquired by the information acquisition unit 14 .

The trajectory information generation unit 16 generates information related to the trajectory of the golf ball 100, such as the flight direction and flight speed of the golf ball 100, based on the movement information including the initial velocity, launch direction, launch angle, number of rotations, rotation direction, and the like of the golf ball 100. Trajectory information may be generated.

In the first embodiment, trajectory information refers to information indicating trajectories of golf ball 100 on three axes.

The trajectory information generator 16 may acquire environmental information including wind direction and wind speed, and generate trajectory information based on the environmental information and movement information. As an example, the drop position notification device 1 may include a sensor (not shown) capable of detecting wind direction and wind speed. The trajectory information generator 16 may generate trajectory information using environment information including the detected wind direction and wind speed and movement information.

The drop position notification device 1 is not limited to this, and may acquire environmental information including wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, etc., from other communicable devices. The trajectory information generator 16 may generate trajectory information using such environment information and movement information. With such a configuration, the drop position notification device 1 can satisfactorily generate trajectory information regarding the trajectory of the golf ball 100 .

The controller 2 includes a drop point calculator 18 . The landing point calculation unit 18 is a processing unit that calculates the landing point of the golf ball 100 based on the trajectory information.

When the trajectory information is generated by the trajectory information generation unit 16, the landing point calculation unit 18 calculates the landing point of the golf ball 100 based on the generated trajectory information. As an example, the drop point calculator 18 may calculate the drop point based on the trajectory information without considering the inclination.

Alternatively, the drop point calculator 18 may detect the inclination of the drop position notification device 1 using the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity sensor 9 . The drop point calculator 18 may calculate the drop point of the golf ball 100 by calculating the inclination between the drop position notification device 1 and the estimated drop point of the golf ball 100 based on the detected inclination.

The control unit 2 has a notification unit 22 . In the first embodiment, the notification unit 22 is a processing unit that causes the display 3 to display a notification display that notifies the falling point. With such a configuration, the drop position notification device 1 can notify the golf player, who is the wearer, of the drop point of the golf ball 100, thereby efficiently progressing the round.

In the first embodiment, when the drop point calculation unit 18 calculates the drop point, the beam irradiation unit 20 emits a beam in front of the wearer. Once the distance to the arrival point P of the beam and the directions on the three axes are measured, the reporting unit 22 may calculate the relative position of the drop point with respect to the arrival point P. FIG.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a mode of beam irradiation. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the drop position notification device 1 emits a beam in front of the wearer when the drop point is calculated. The width L of the irradiated beam advances while gradually expanding in front of the wearer.

When the beam reaches the arrival point P, the beam irradiation unit 20 may measure the width L of the beam at the arrival point P, thereby measuring the distance from the drop position notification device 1 to the arrival point P. Alternatively, the beam irradiation unit 20 captures images of the beam at the arrival point P with two or more cameras 5, and based on the angle between the camera 5 and the beam at the arrival point P, the distance from the drop position notification device 1 to the arrival point P. You can measure the distance. In addition, a known ranging technique may be applied.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display mode of the notification display image 30. As shown in FIG. When the relative position of the falling point with respect to the beam arrival point is calculated, the falling point calculation unit 18 may generate a notification display image 30 and display it on the display 3 . With such a configuration, the drop point calculator 18 can calculate the display position of the notification display image 30 on the display 3 .

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the notification unit 22 causes the display 3 to display a notification display image 30 based on the relative position of the falling point with respect to the arrival point P of the beam. As an example, the notification unit 22 may cause the notification display image 30 to be displayed according to the inclination of the falling point with respect to the reaching point P on two axes. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily notify the wearer of which direction in the scenery the golf ball 100 falls.

Returning to the block diagram of FIG. 2 , the controller 2 may further include a timer 24 . When the notification unit 22 causes the display 3 to display the notification display image 30, the timer 24 is controlled to be ON and starts timing.

After the timer 24 starts measuring time, the notification unit 22 erases the notification display image 30 from the display 3 when a predetermined period of time elapses. With such a configuration, the notification unit 22 can satisfactorily ensure the forward field of vision of the wearer.

Next, the operation mode of the drop position notification device 1 according to the first embodiment will be specifically described. 6 to 9 are flowcharts showing an example of the processing procedure of the drop position notification device 1 according to the first embodiment.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the main flow executed by the control unit 2. As shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 6, when the golf ball 100 is detected by the ball detection unit 12 (step S1), information acquisition processing for acquiring movement information of the golf ball 100 (step S3) is executed. A specific processing procedure of the information acquisition processing (step S3) will be described later.

When the information acquisition process (step S3) is performed, the point calculation process (step S5) for calculating the falling point is performed. A specific processing procedure of the point calculation processing (step S5) will be described later.

When the point calculation process (step S5) is executed and the drop point is calculated, the notification process (step S7) of displaying the notification display image 30 on the display 3 is executed. A specific processing procedure of the notification processing (step S7) will be described later.

When the notification process (step S7) is executed, the notification display image 30 is displayed on the display 3 for a predetermined time. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the notification display image 30 is erased. Finally, it is determined whether or not the display resume command has been received (step S10), and if it is determined that the display resume command has been received (YES in step S10), the process returns to the notification process (step S7), and subsequent processes are performed. is executed. If the display resume command has not been received (NO in step S10), the process ends.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of information acquisition processing (step S3 in FIG. 6). The information acquisition unit 14 detects features ST on the surface of the golf ball 100 .

When the feature ST is detected, it is next determined whether or not the fall position notification device 1 has detected an inclination of a predetermined angle or more (step S23). As an example, it may be determined whether or not the front of the drop position notification device 1 has tilted downward by a predetermined angle or more. In this way, when the front of the drop position notification device 1 is inclined downward by more than a predetermined angle, the wearer often leans forward to hit the golf ball 100 . Therefore, by starting imaging when such timing is detected as described later, it is possible to obtain excellent movement information of the golf ball 100 when it is hit.

If a tilt of a predetermined angle or more has not been detected (NO in step S23), it waits until it is detected. On the other hand, if an inclination of a predetermined angle or more is detected (YES in step S23), the camera 5 is caused to start imaging (step S25).

Next, imaging is terminated (step S27). As an example, imaging may be terminated when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of imaging. Alternatively, imaging may be terminated when a predetermined number of frames are acquired.

Finally, when the movement information of golf ball 100 is obtained based on the image obtained by imaging golf ball 100 (step S29), the information obtaining process (step S3) is terminated.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of the point calculation process (step S5 in FIG. 6). When the movement information is obtained, trajectory information of golf ball 100 is generated using the movement information (step S31). After the trajectory information is generated, the drop point is calculated (step S33), and the point calculation process (step S5) ends.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of the notification process (step S7 in FIG. 6). When the drop point is calculated (step S33 in FIG. 8), the beam irradiation unit 20 is caused to start beam irradiation (step S41). Next, the distance and direction from the drop position notification device 1 to the arrival point P are measured based on the irradiated beam (step S43).

When the distance and direction to the reaching point P are measured, the direction of the falling point with respect to the reaching point P is calculated (step S45). The mode of the notification display image 30 may be determined based on the relative position of the drop point with respect to the arrival point P.

After the direction of the falling point is calculated, next, the notification display image 30 is generated (step S47). When the notification display image 30 is generated, the notification display image 30 is displayed on the display 3 (step S49).

Note that the timer 24 may start timing when the notification display image 30 is displayed in step S49. Further, the notification display image 30 may be erased from the display 3 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the timer 24 started timing.

Finally, the irradiation of the beam is terminated (step S51), and the notification processing (step S7) is terminated.

The identification area 70 is set inside a rectangle having a width W1 and a height H1 as a boundary. When the wearer hits golf ball 100 , the golf club passes through identification area 70 . The club detection unit 51 detects the golf club when the golf club enters the identification area 70 .

In the second embodiment, the information acquisition section 14 acquires the movement information of the golf ball 100 when the club detection section 51 detects the golf club within the identification area 70 . The information acquisition unit 14 causes the camera 5 to image the golf ball 100 . With such a configuration, the information acquisition unit 14 can start imaging immediately before the golf ball 100 is hit.

Alternatively, unlike the case described above, the information acquisition section 14 may set the identification area 70 based on the position of the golf ball 100 when the ball detection section 12 detects the golf ball 100 .

In the example shown in FIG. 11, one identification area 70 is set, but unlike this, a plurality of identification areas 70 may be set. As an example, a region horizontally separated from golf ball 100 by distance D1 may be set as identification area 70 . With such a configuration, regardless of the launch direction of the golf ball 100, the club detecting section 51 can detect the golf club just before hitting.

Returning to the block diagram of FIG. 10, in the second embodiment, the information acquisition unit 14 may acquire the velocity of the golf club at the time of hitting the ball. The trajectory information generation unit 16 may generate trajectory information using the velocity acquired by the information acquisition unit 14 and the movement information of the golf ball 100 .

With such a configuration, the initial velocity transmitted from the golf club to the golf ball 100 can be detected satisfactorily. With such a configuration, it is possible to generate trajectory information in consideration of the fact that the golf club pushes out the golf ball 100 while crushing it, and that the golf ball 100 is accelerated by the repulsive force due to the elastic restoring force.

In the second embodiment, the information acquisition unit 14 acquires follow-up information indicating the flight mode of the golf ball 100 . The trajectory information generation unit 16 may update the trajectory information based on the follow information acquired by the information acquisition unit 14 .

The information acquisition unit 14 may continuously capture images of the flight mode of the golf ball 100 until a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of capturing images. With such a configuration, it becomes possible to supplement the flight mode of golf ball 100 after obtaining the movement information.

In the second embodiment, follow information refers to information indicating the flight mode of golf ball 100 that can be acquired after movement information is acquired. As an example, the follow information may include the flight mode of the golf ball 100 that is acquired within a predetermined period of time after the movement information is acquired. This makes it possible to acquire the flight mode of golf ball 100 in flight in more detail.

In the second embodiment, the drop point calculation unit 18 reads the terrain information 62 and calculates the drop point using the terrain information 62 and the trajectory information. With such a configuration, it is possible to satisfactorily calculate the landing point of the golf ball 100 within the golf course.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of how the drop point is calculated in the second embodiment. The trajectory information generator 16 generates trajectory information using at least the movement information. In FIG. 12, the trajectory of golf ball 100 based on the trajectory information is indicated by a dotted line. The terrain of the golf course based on the terrain information 62 is indicated by solid lines.

Based solely on the trajectory information, golf ball 100 will fly to point P10. The landing point calculation unit 18 can read the terrain information 62 and calculate that the golf ball 100 has fallen to the point P12 in the golf course. Such a configuration increases the accuracy of the calculation of the falling point.

Returning to the block diagram of FIG. 10, in the second embodiment, the CPU 47 further includes an index extractor 53 that extracts the index M placed within the golf course. In the second embodiment, the index M refers to a predetermined tangible object placed within the golf course. As an example, it may be a flag placed on the green, a pile placed in the hole, an artificial structure such as a building, or a natural structure such as a pond or a tree.

The index extraction unit 53 is a processing unit that reads the index information 60 and extracts the index information 60 corresponding to the index M arranged within a predetermined range from the drop point calculated by the drop point calculation unit 18 . The index information 60 is information regarding a plurality of indices M arranged within the golf course.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of index information 60. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the index information 60 includes coordinates and identification information in the hole where each index M is placed, and the terrain information 62 .

When the drop point calculation unit 18 calculates the drop point, the index extraction unit 53 extracts index information 60 corresponding to the index M arranged within a predetermined range from the drop point. As an example, the index extraction unit 53 acquires the coordinates of the drop point and extracts an index M having coordinates within a predetermined range from the coordinates of the drop point.

The fall position notification device 1 according to the second embodiment further includes an index sensor 57 capable of detecting the index M. As shown in FIG. The notification section 22 may generate the notification display image 30 based on the index M detected by the index sensor 57 and the index information 60 extracted by the index extraction section 53 .

In the second embodiment, the index extraction unit 53 reads the index information 60 from the storage unit 49. FIG. Then, the index extraction unit 53 extracts the index information 60 having coordinates within a predetermined value from the coordinates of the falling point.

When the index sensor 57 detects the index M, the notification unit 22 refers to the index information 60 corresponding to the detected index M and generates the notification display image 30 indicating the falling point on the display 3 .

The notification unit 22 causes the display 3 to display the notification display image 30 . This allows the wearer to recognize the location where the golf ball 100 is based on the scenery visible through the display 3 and the notification display image 30 .

In the second embodiment, when the movement of the drop position notification device 1 is detected, the notification unit 22 may update the notification display accordingly. With such a configuration, the notification unit 22 can accurately notify the wearer of the drop point through the display 3 according to the wearer's movement.

As an example, when the acceleration sensor 7 and the angular velocity sensor 9 detect the movement of the drop position notification device 1 while the notification display image 30 is being displayed on the display 3, the notification unit 22 acquires movement data. The notification unit 22 analyzes the movement data, deletes the previous notification display image 30, and displays a new notification display image 30 in the display 3 based on the post-movement data.

With such a configuration, when the fall position notification device 1 moves according to the motion of the wearer's body, it is possible to accurately notify the fall point.

Alternatively, when the index sensor 57 detects the index M while the drop position notification device 1 is moving, the notification unit 22 calculates the relative position of the drop point with respect to the index M based on the index information 60. may The notification unit 22 may update the notification display image 30 based on the calculated relative position.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a display mode of the notification display image 30 in the second embodiment. In FIG. 14, flags placed on the green are shown as an example of the index M. FIG. When the index sensor 57 detects the index M, the notification unit 22 may calculate the relative position of the drop point with respect to the index M.

When the relative position of the drop point with respect to the index M is calculated, the notification unit 22 causes the display 3 to display a notification display image 30 that notifies the drop point. With such a configuration, it is possible to accurately notify the falling point based on the index M arranged in the golf course. With such a configuration, it is possible to efficiently notify the wearer of the drop point.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, the notification unit 22 may update the notification display image 30 when the movement of the drop position notification device 1 is detected.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a notification display image 30 different from the notification display image 30 illustrated in FIG. 14 . The notification unit 22 may read the terrain information 62 and cause the display 3 to display the notification display image 30 indicating the landing point of the golf ball 100 .

In the example shown in FIG. 15 , the notification display image 30 may be displayed near the edge of the display 3 . With such a configuration, it is possible to notify the drop point of golf ball 100 while ensuring a good field of view for the wearer.

The reporting unit 22 reads the terrain information 62 and extracts the terrain information 62 of the hole at the current point of the wearer. The notification unit 22 may generate the notification display image 30 by reflecting the drop point calculated by the drop point calculation unit 18 in the extracted terrain information 62 . With such a configuration, the notification unit 22 can notify the wearer of the landing point of the golf ball 100 from a bird's-eye view.

The notification unit 22 may generate the notification display image 30 in such a manner that a region within a predetermined range from the landing point of the golf ball 100 is highlighted. In this way, by notifying the drop point calculated by the drop point calculation unit 18 and the area within a predetermined range from the drop point, the drop position notification device 1 informs the wearer of the possibility that the golf ball 100 exists. It is possible to notify a certain area.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a notification display image 30 different from the notification display image 30 illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15. As shown in FIG. The reporting unit 22 reads the terrain information 62 and extracts the terrain information 62 of the hole at the current point of the wearer.

In the extracted terrain information 62 , the notification unit 22 may generate the notification display image 30 in a mode corresponding to the degree of inclination of the landing point of the golf ball 100 . As an example, when the falling point of the golf ball 100 calculated by the falling point calculation unit 18 is downwardly inclined by a predetermined angle or more in the traveling direction, the notification unit 22 may indicate that the golf ball 100 is traveling from the calculated falling point of the golf ball 100. A notification display image 30 that highlights a region that is long in the direction may be generated.

If the calculated drop point is downwardly inclined at a predetermined angle or more, there is a possibility that golf ball 100 will travel further in the traveling direction from the drop point. As shown in FIG. 16, by generating a notification display image 30 highlighting an area long in the traveling direction from the drop point, the wearer is more specifically notified of the position where the golf ball 100 exists. becomes possible.

Alternatively, the notification unit 22 may generate the notification display image 30 in such a manner as to call the wearer's attention according to the state of the drop point of the golf ball 100 calculated by the drop point calculation unit 18 . As an example, when the drop point of the golf ball 100 calculated by the drop point calculation unit 18 is composed of asphalt or concrete, the notification unit 22 generates a notification display image 30 including a wording or a drawing to call the wearer's attention. to generate

With such a configuration, when the golf ball 100 is likely to be at a point significantly different from the point of impact calculated by the point of impact calculation unit 18, the notification unit 22 calls the wearer's attention. becomes possible.

Next, a specific processing procedure of the drop position notification device 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. The drop position notification device 1 according to the second embodiment performs processing in the same procedure as the main processing procedure in FIG. 6 shown in the first embodiment.

FIG. 17 is a flow chart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of information acquisition processing (step S3 in FIG. 6) in the second embodiment. When detecting feature ST on the surface of golf ball 100 (step S61), falling position notification device 1 determines whether or not the golf club is detected within identification area 70 (step S63).

When it is determined that the golf club has been detected within the identification area 70 (YES in step S63), the timer 24 is set to ON to start timing (step S65). On the other hand, if it is determined that the golf club has not been detected within the identification area 70 (NO in step S63), the drop position notification device 1 waits until the golf club is detected within the identification area 70.

Next, when the timer 24 is set to ON (step S65), the camera 5 is caused to start imaging (step S67). The mode of imaging is the same as the mode described in the first embodiment.

When the imaging ends (step S69), the falling position notification device 1 acquires the movement information of the golf ball 100 (step S71), and terminates the information acquisition process (step S3).

FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of the point calculation process (step S5 in FIG. 6) in the second embodiment. The fall position notification device 1 reads out the terrain information 62 (step S81).

After the topography information 62 is read (step S81), locus information is generated (step S83). When the trajectory information is generated, it is determined whether or not the follow information has been acquired (step S85).

If it is determined that the follow information has been acquired (YES in step S85), the fall position notification device 1 updates the trajectory information using the follow information (step S87). On the other hand, if it is determined that the follow information has not been acquired (NO in step S85), updating of the trajectory information (step S87) is skipped.

Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (t1) has elapsed since the timer 34 started timing (step S89). If it is determined that the predetermined time (t1) has not elapsed (NO in step S89), steps S85 and S87 are repeatedly executed until the predetermined time (t1) elapses.

If it is determined that the predetermined time (t1) has elapsed (YES in step S89), the timer 24 is set to OFF (step S91) and reset (step S93). Finally, the drop point is calculated based on the trajectory information (step S95), and the point calculation process (step S5) is terminated.

FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing an example of a specific processing procedure of notification processing (step S7 in FIG. 6) in the second embodiment. The drop position notification device 1 reads the index information 60 (step S101). After reading the index information 60, the index information 60 corresponding to the index M within a predetermined range from the falling point is extracted (step S103).

When the index information 60 is extracted, the drop position notification device 1 determines whether or not the index sensor 57 has detected the index M (step S105). If it is determined that the index M has not been detected (NO in step S105), the process waits until the index M is detected.

When it is determined that the index M has been detected (YES in step S105), the fall position notification device 1 generates the notification display image 30 (step S107), and displays the generated notification display image 30 on the display 3 ( step S109).

When the notification display image 30 is displayed on the display 3, update processing (step S110) for updating the notification display image 30 is executed, and the notification processing (step S7) is terminated. A specific processing procedure of the update processing (step S110) will be described later.

The drop position notification device 1 sets the timer 24 to ON (step S112), and determines whether or not movement of the drop position notification device 1 is detected (step S114).

If it is determined that the movement of the drop position notification device 1 has been detected (YES in step S114), it is further determined whether or not the index M has been detected (step S116). When it is determined that the index M has been detected (YES in step S116), the drop position notification device 1 updates the notification display image 30 (step S118).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the index M has not been detected (NO in step S116), the fall position notification device 1 acquires movement data detected by the acceleration sensor 7 and the angular velocity sensor 9 (step S120). When the movement data is acquired, the movement data is analyzed (step S122) and the notification display image 30 is updated.

By the way, if it is determined in step S114 that the movement of the drop position notification device 1 has not been detected (NO in step S114), steps S116 to S118 are skipped.

Next, it is determined whether a predetermined time (t2) has elapsed since the timer 24 started timing (step S124). If it is determined that the predetermined time (t2) has not elapsed (NO in step S124), the process proceeds to step S114. Go back and do the following:

On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined time (t2) has elapsed since the timer 24 started timing (YES in step S124), the drop position notification device 1 erases the notification display image 30 from the display 3 (step S126).

Next, the timer 24 is set to OFF (step S128), the timer 24 is cleared (step S130), and the update process (step S110) is terminated.

In the example of the update process shown in FIG. 20, the process of calculating the relative position of the drop point based on the index M and updating the notification display image 30, and the movement data acquired by the acceleration sensor 7 and the angular velocity sensor 9 are analyzed and the notification display image 30 is updated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of them may be implemented.
