Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device with a golf score display function that inputs/outputs and displays data necessary for golf.

In recent years, golf has rapidly become popular, and the number of golfers has increased significantly. Golf equipment includes clubs, banks,
A wide variety of new products are being introduced one after another, including Series 1 gloves, clothing, balls, and practice equipment. However, the traditional method of scoring scorecards, which consisted of filling in lead foil on paper cards, continued to be popular. Those who play golf using this scorecard have the following drawbacks.

■ It's a pain to write in lead words every time.

■ If you put it in your pocket, it will crumple.

■ It's hard to write while walking.

■ Not modern.

■ The tip of the lead foil gets stuck in my buttocks and it hurts.

The present invention is intended to solve these drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a completely new score recording system to replace the conventional scorecard system. In other words, the present invention provides a device with a golf score display function that inputs, outputs, and displays data necessary for golf easily, quickly, and reliably.

The present invention will be explained in detail based on Examples below.
The figure is an overview diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is the hole number display part, 2 is the bar (regular number of strokes) display part, 5 is the BACK (kiyori used in formal competitions) display part, 4 is the RgGULAR (kiyori used in regular competitions) display part, 5 is I (DOP (disclosure of course) display section, 6i'i hole score display section (displays the score for each hole of each flexible key), 7 is total score display section (displays the total score of each two-layer), 8 is the owner (the person who hits the ball first on the next hole) display. 9 is a group of keys for inputting numbers from 1 to 9, 10 is the bar (regular number of strokes) key, and 11 is the bogey or "-(1 last) key. ) key, 12 is birdie or - (minus) key, 13 is player select key (selects 7 players), 14 is mode change key (switches between time mode and golf mode), 1
5 is a hole select key. Each of the display sections 1.2 above is switched to display "hours/minutes" by the mode change key 14.

The time is set using keys 9 to 15, but a detailed explanation will be omitted, and only how to use the golf score display function will be explained here.

First, press the mode change key 14 to switch to golf mode. In this mode, each time the hole select key 15 is pressed, the number on the hole number display section 1 changes from 1 to 18. At this time, the par display section 2 set in advance
．． BACK display section S, RBGULAR display section 4, F (D
Each display on the CP display section 5 also changes in accordance with the hole number display section 1. Figure 1 shows the situation at the 16th hole, after playing 15 balls from the first hole. Since this hole was a gray A-bogey (1 over par), the bogey key 11 was pressed to display +1 on the hole score display section 6. Then, the display on the total score display section 7 is automatically incremented by +1 to indicate that the total score at the end of 16 holes is +5.

Next, press the select key 13 to select player B.
Set the score. At this time, it would be convenient to take precautions such as making the hole score display for Player B blink, for example, 7". Player B's score on this hole was a double bogey, so press the + (plus) key 11. , by pressing the 2 key, the hole score display section 6
Display +2. Then, the total score display section 7 is also incremented by +2 and displayed as +5.

Next, let's assume that player 0#'i has rounded this hole with - (regular number of strokes).I have omitted the explanation up to this point, but press the hole select key 15 explained earlier and change the hole number display section 1 to the 16th hole. At the point when the hole score display section 6 hits the ball, the display for each player on the hole score display section 6 is switched to a display that means a bar, such as - (bar display).Of course, the total score display section 7 shows the total of the previous ball up to 15 holes. The score is displayed.This way, if each player's hole score was a bar.

There is no need to set anything in the hole score display section 6. In the case of FIG. 1, player C has a score, so he presses the player select key 13 without making any settings to set the score for player D. This will make recording hole scores much faster. Next, since player C made a birdie, he presses the birdie key 12 to cause the hole score display section 6 to display -1, and the total score display section 7 is incremented by -1 and -3 is displayed.

After entering the hole scores of all the above-mentioned regular players, an owner mark is automatically lit on the owner (person who hits the ball first on the next hole) display section 8. In the case of FIG. 1, Player D has the best score with a birdie, so he becomes the owner of the next hole. Best hole score is 2
If there are more than Å, the owner is determined by going backwards to the previous hole. This owner display function will be explained in detail later.

As described above, by manually calculating each player's score for each hole, the total score at the end of play as well as the total score in gray can be immediately known, and the owner of each hole can also be seen at a glance. . Also, as mentioned above, the bar of each hole, BAOK (Kiyori), REG
(JLAR (Kiyo! J), F (DOP) can also be entered, so you can enter the data for each hole at each golf course in advance,
It would be very convenient to lend golfers instead of conventional scorecards, and of course each golfer could enter data about his or her own home course. Furthermore, this device displays the hours and minutes on the hole number display section 1 and the bar display section 2 by pressing the mode change key 14, which is very convenient for golfers who do not wear a wristwatch during gray periods. be.

Note that the score input method described in the main text is a method of inputting the difference in lighting the bar (specified number of strokes), but it is also possible to input the number of strokes as is instead of the difference.

Even with that method, if you enter the bar (standard number of strokes) for each hole into this device in advance, the difference will be automatically calculated.

It can be displayed on the total score display section.

Next, FIG. 2 shows an example of a method for attaching a device with a golf score display function according to the present invention. Golfers don't like wearing watches or keeping heavy things in their pockets, so they can hang them on their golf bags as shown in Figure 2, have their caddies carry them, or use them in auto carts. You can leave it there and use it.

Next, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The first mentioned above
The figure shows a device with a full-fledged golf score function.
The diagrams are designed for ease of use. 1 is a hole number display section, 6 is a hole score display section, 7 is a total score display section, and 8 is an owner display section, which are the same as those in FIG. 1 described above. A particular difference is that two hole score setting keys 16 are arranged for each rookie, and the score of each player can be input easily by moving up and down. For example, player A is a bogey, so there is a + (grass) below player A.
It's okay to press the key once.

Similarly, press Player B's + (plus) key twice. Player C does not need to press anything, and player D only needs to press the - (minus) key once. Even if you press the button incorrectly, it is easy to correct it (According to Otsu's method, anyone can input the score immediately and without error. In addition, there is a putter number display section 17 in Fig. 3, and it is displayed on each hole for each player. It is possible to record the number of butters for each player.There are seven butter keys 18, one VC for each play key, and this allows one player to record the number of butters.Here, each player's number of butters can be recorded. Store the hole score and butter number in memory for all holes, and later
You can read the record by specifying the number. The total score may also be stored in memory, but in order to reduce the number of memories, it is better to adopt a method in which the scores for each hole for hole 1 are added up and displayed at the 1MI hole number F at regular intervals.

As described above, if the device shown in FIG. 3 is used, anyone can input data instantly and without error, which makes it attractive to completely replace conventional scorecards. Of course, it is possible to have specifications intermediate between Figures 1 and 3, but
In any case, the golf function device according to the present invention eliminates the conventional drawbacks of the scorecard described above, and is a completely new type of golf equipment that can easily analyze, input, and display the data necessary for golf. This provides a device with a score display function.

Up to this point, we have mainly talked about how to operate the device, but since this device is used for the outdoor sport of golf and is used even on rainy days, it is desirable that it has a waterproof structure.

Next, FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.
is a key decoder, and 20 is a control circuit.

21# memory circuit, 22-digit backup memory (1)
.

26 is a buffer memory (2), 24 is an ACC (addition and comparison), a 25-digit delay circuit, and 26 is an output (display). Multiple inputs are made using the keys as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 above.
2 data is passed through a key decoder 19 and controlled by a control circuit 20 to be cumulatively calculated.

- 10,000, put the input data into the memory circuit 21 and the buffer memory 22 (1), and calculate the total score from the memory circuit 21 to the previous hole in the backup memory 23 (2). Insert the result that is the boundary. Next, the above 2
The data of 2 and 25 are added by the AOO of 24, and the result is sent to the buffer memory I of 25 through the delay circuit 25.
It is placed in J-(2).

The data in this buffer memory (2) is input to the memory circuit 21. Through this series of processing, when the player's score for each hole is input, the score is automatically added to the total score up to the previous hole and displayed as a total score. The same circuit can also display the owner (the person who will hit the ball first with the next ball). Under the control of the control circuit 20, the hole score of each player is stored in the buffer memory of 22 (Buffer Memo of Rito 23! In the same case, the control circuit 20 inputs the data of the target hole from the memory circuit 21 into the backup memories (1) and (2) of 22.25, and detects the minimum value as shown in FIG. The circuit diagram shown in FIG. 1 is an example. By configuring the circuit as described above, a device with a golf score display function having the above-mentioned specifications is completed.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 are schematic diagrams showing the golf display device of the present invention combined with a printer. Figure 5 shows a system in which a separate printer is combined to print out the scores and butter numbers of each player that are stored in the device with the golf score function.The printer may be a small printer as shown in the figure, or each A large printer may be placed at a golf course. Currently, many golf players use a system where they write on a scorecard that is quite crumpled because they have filled it out with a pencil during the gray period, but after the play is over, they write on another scorecard, IM it, and then keep that card. However, if the method shown in FIG. 5 is used, there is no need to re-enter the information and records can be obtained immediately. Furthermore, if a large printer is installed at each golf course, it will be possible to create a scorecard as sharp as a driver's license, which is extremely convenient for recording tournaments and the like. FIG. 6 shows a device with a golf score function according to the present invention which is also equipped with a printer function, and with this device, data can be obtained more easily and instantly. , M5, or 6 may be used, but by combining a printer with the golf score display function device according to the present invention, a new score recording system that is completely different from the current scorecard system can be completed. .

As explained above, one aspect of the present invention is the drawbacks of conventional paper scorecards. It eliminates a number of shortcomings, such as it's a pain to write with a pencil every time, it crumples when you put it in your pocket, it's hard to write with a pencil while walking, it's not modern, and it hurts when the tip of the pencil gets stuck in your butt. By simply inputting the hole score, the total score is immediately displayed, allowing you to play while understanding the flow of the competition, and by having an owner calculation function, the owner of the 9th hole K so that you can understand at a glance. Additionally, input can be easily made using the keys, making it easy for golfers who do not wear a wristwatch to know the time while playing. It is also waterproof, so you can use it with confidence even on rainy days. Furthermore, when you get to the next hole number, the hole score display automatically changes to a bar display, so if the bar is gray, no input is required, which saves you time and effort. There is also a memory circuit for the number of butters for each hole! are doing. Bar%BACK, RW-()ULAR, HDO for each hole
Input/output of P etc. can be done freely.

By connecting it to a scale printer, you can freely print out the memory contents mentioned above.

You can easily get a record sheet after playing, etc.
The present invention provides a device with a golf score display function that has many advantages.
