Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable golf score electronic recording apparatus capable of recording the number of play strokes of a golf course played by a plurality of players for each player.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Originally, all golf games consisted of match play in which each hole was won and lost. At the beginning of golf, there were no standard golf courses such as 3 holes, 6 holes, and 22 holes, but after that, the course was unified to 18 holes under the influence of St. and reuse (out / in) in the UK. . Stroke play was born, where the total score for each of the 18 holes determines the outcome.
Of the 18 holes, the first half 9 holes are called out and the latter half 9 holes are called in. However, two holes (cups) are provided on one green so that the forward and return paths can be used properly. I started to play.

As a method for calculating this 18-hole handicap, for example, L. Callaway of the United States has devised a method in which the most scored hole from the 18-hole gross score after playing without determining the handicap of the competition. The score is subtracted in order to determine the ranking as a net score. The number of holes drawn depends on the gross score. In other words, with a score of 98, the worst 3 holes are taken, the worst of 18 holes is 7, and if there are 2 next 6, a total of 19 is handicap and the net score is 79. In order to prevent the score from being adjusted in the latter half, holes 17 and 18 taken may be excluded from the calculation. Also, there are basically four players competing for these 18 holes.

Conventionally, the player himself has a piece of paper and a pencil for recording the ranking of the results in the play, which is used. In other words, each score is written in pencil on a so-called score card on which a plurality of frames are printed. In addition, with the spread of card calculators, electronic notebooks, notebook computers, etc., it has been downsized to a pocket size so that it can be conveniently carried, but approximation is that Freya's own golf score can be recorded electronically. There is a so-called portable golf score recording device. This portable golf score recording device is capable of recording only individual records up to 9 holes on the out course and 9 holes on the in-course. However, this record is displayed only by numbers, and a so-called segment LCD is used. Is what you use.

[0005]

In the former case described above, since the score card is manually written using a pencil, the correction can be made simply by operating a button like an electronic card. Not only can you not do this, but the pencils can break, wear, or get lost, and if the scorecard gets wet with rain or snow, it can get dirty or tattered, so you can't write it in or you can't write it in your pocket. There are drawbacks such as not being able to do it, making the numbers unclear, making mistakes in the counting of results, or making the calculation troublesome. In the latter case, the results can be recorded in sequence within the frame by operating buttons, but the 7-segment LCD is used.

Since the alphabets such as A, B and C cannot be displayed, there is a drawback that only the numerical value of the person himself can be recorded. Furthermore, without knowing that the main switch is in the on state, if you put it in your pocket or touch the button to enter the value carelessly with your hand or other things, it will cause an operation and rewrite the accurate record. , There was a defect that a new number was recorded in the next frame.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact electronic computer type golf score recording apparatus which can be carried during golf play, and which has a desired address code of a plurality of persons and half of each person. All round scores are recorded on the large screen of the graphic LCD, and by not allowing the recording operation to be performed unless the shift button is in operation, improper operation due to incorrect operation in the pocket or inadvertent operation To prevent this.

[0008]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a case body having a display window, and a plurality of operations for enabling desired display on a score screen of the display window of the case body. In a golf score electronic recording device having a button, a case main body and a score screen of a display window included in the case main body display address symbols for a plurality of players by a graphic LCD, and the score screen of the display window is rounded and rounded. It is possible to display the number of rounds, the number of out or in holes for each player, the number of pars and each par, and the total number and total number of these pars, and the score screen of this display window When recording the address symbol or the score status of out or in individually, use the cursor that moves to the left and right, up and down, and stops at the desired position. In addition to the above, four cursor operation buttons each having a mark indicating the movement of the cursor and this movement direction, an up operation button capable of sequentially inputting an increased number of recorded numerical values at the cursor stop position, and a cursor stop position When the down operation button capable of sequentially driving the number of decrease of the recorded numerical value, and the up operation button and the down operation button are sequentially driven respectively,
Also, when displaying the address symbol of the player on the score screen in the display window, a shift button that is constantly pressed when recording the number of pars for each player is provided, and the shift button is manually operated at the same time as the operation of each button. The constant pressing state is to prevent application due to erroneous operation or erroneous operation.
