Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a golf data storage device for storing and displaying scores in golf competitions.

[Traditional technique]

In golf competitions, a standard number of strokes is prescribed for each hole, and if a hole is completed with the standard number of strokes, it is the so-called bar. Also, if the player completes the hole with one more stroke than the standard number of strokes, it is a so-called bogey. Conversely, if the player completes the hole with one stroke less than the standard number of strokes, it is a so-called birdie.

In such golf competitions, golf counters are known that electronically count the number of strokes (score) for each hole by inputting the number of times a switch is operated. In addition, this conventional golf counter calculates the total score (round score) after the end of the competition, that is, after the end of one round.
It is also possible to calculate

[Problems with conventional technology]

However, in the conventional golf data storage device as described above, although the result of one round can be known, there is a drawback that past data such as past round averages cannot be known.

Or I don't know what the round average is for the same course. In such cases, past round averages, etc., along with dates, etc., must be memorized on paper.

It is also possible to store past data in a computer or the like, but golf scores are influenced not only by technique but also by the difficulty of the golf course. Therefore, simply storing past data in a computer has the disadvantage that it is not possible to accurately determine the degree of golf skill improvement.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention provides a golf data storage device that is capable of storing the total score of past competitions and the golf course where the total score was obtained, and that allows one to easily know the degree of improvement in golf technique. The purpose is to provide.

[Key points of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention stores total scores of past competitions for each golf course in a storage means for each date, and displays the dates and scores of the stored competitions. Furthermore, by using a calculating means to calculate the average value of the total scores of past competitions for each golf course and displaying it on a display means, it is possible to easily know the improvement in a player's technique. It is.

[Embodiments of the Invention] Two embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In this example, the present invention is implemented in an electronic wristwatch,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the electronic wristwatch.

This electronic wristwatch allows you to input information such as the number of strokes for each hole by operating a switch, which will be described later.

In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a wristwatch case, and a liquid crystal display section 1 is provided on the upper surface of this wristwatch case 2. This liquid crystal display section 1 is as shown in FIG.

It is composed of a liquid crystal display element capable of displaying 8×4 characters (digits). In this liquid crystal display section 1.

In time mode, the date and time, day of the week, etc. are displayed, and in golf mode, the golf course (golf club) name is displayed.

Average total score etc. are displayed. For example, as shown in Figure 2, in the time mode, "1985 5UN6-23"
PM3:25-45" is displayed.

This display is today <Sunday, June 23, 1985.

This indicates that the current time is 3:25:45 p.m.

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 1, the wristwatch case 2 is provided with a large number of switches, and below the liquid crystal display section 1, there are
“Switch SA with 5° indication.

A switch S with a display of "4", a switch Sc with a display of "3" are provided, and each switch SA.

Above Se and Sc are "Bogey", "Par" and "Bir" corresponding to each switch 5A-8c.
The display section 3 that shows the display of "die" is configured by printing or the like. That is, this switch 5A-8c has two functions, one is to input the number of pars for each hole in the par setting mode. Works as a switch.

The other functions as a switch for inputting the score of each hole in the score input mode.

For example, in the par setting mode, pressing switch SA sets the par number to "5", pressing switch S8 sets the par number to 4", and pressing switch Sc changes the par number to 3". Set. In addition, in the score input mode, by pressing the switch SA, a number that is one more than the preset par number is input, and by pressing the switch S8, the par number itself is input,
Switch S. By pressing , a number 1 less than the par number is input.

Furthermore, above the liquid crystal display section l, a plus (hereinafter referred to as +) switch 4 and a minus (hereinafter referred to as -) switch 5 are arranged. The + switch 4 is a switch for sequentially displaying golf courses in the golf mode and advancing the number of holes in the score input mode for each golf course, which will be described later.

-Switch 5, on the other hand, is a switch for sequentially displaying the golf courses displayed in the golf mode, and sequentially returning the number of holes in the score input mode.

Further, bush-type switches 81 to S4 are arranged on the side surface of the wristwatch case 2. The switch S1 is a mode changeover switch, and each time the switch S1 is pressed, the display on the liquid crystal display section 1 is switched between a time mode display and a golf mode display. Further, the switch S2 is a switch for switching to the score input mode for each hole of the golf course where 9 is displayed in the golf mode.

Further, the switch S3 is a switch for retroactively displaying the past total score on the golf course, which is displayed in the golf mode.

Furthermore, the switch S4 is a switch for reverting the past total data that was retrospectively displayed by the above-mentioned switch S to the latest data in the golf mode.

The electronic wristwatch having the external configuration as described above has an electronic circuit as shown in FIG. 3 inside.

In the figure, a ROM (read-on memory) 6 stores a microprogram that controls the clock and golf data storage operations of this circuit.

Each microprogram is read from the area addressed by the address control section 7 and executed sequentially. For example, in this read program, an operation code (OP) is input to an instruction decoder 8, data (Do) is input to a RAM (random access memory) 9 and an arithmetic circuit 10, which will be described later, and a netast address signal ( NA) is input to the address control section 7. Also.

The instruction decoder 8 to which the operation code (OP) is input decodes the operation code (OP) and outputs various signals. For example, a read/write signal a is output to the RAM 9, an arithmetic command signal S is output to the arithmetic circuit 10, and a display signal C is output to the one-display decoder 10.

In RAM9 where read/write signal a is input, read/write signal a is input.

For example, when a write signal is input to RAM9.

The aforementioned switches 5A-3C9+, , S+ to S4 (these switch inputs are collectively referred to as the key manual section 1 in FIG.
2) is input from the data bus (DA
TABUS) to RAM9. Further, the calculation result d of the calculation circuit 10, which will be described later, is also written into the RAM 9. Conversely, when the read signal is input to RAM9, the RAM
The data of 9 is output to the arithmetic circuit 10.

When the above-mentioned calculation command signal is input to the calculation circuit 10,
Performs calculations on data input to Dll and D12. For example, when the arithmetic circuit 10 calculates data in RAMQ, the data output from RAM9 is
and D12, the arithmetic circuit 10 performs an arithmetic operation in response to an arithmetic command signal, and the arithmetic result d is stored in the RAM 9 again.

Display data e is also output from the RAM 9 to the display decoder 11 by the read signal, and if the display signal C is input to the display decoder 11 at the same time, 1 display
Then, the input display data e is decoded and the decoded display data e' is outputted to the first display section 13. Display section 13
Now display the display data e' on the liquid crystal display section 1 mentioned above (
The liquid crystal display section 1 constitutes a part of the display section 13).

On the other hand, ROM6. Address control unit 7. A timing generator 14 outputs various timing (synchronization) signals f necessary for controlling the instruction decoder 8 and inputting/outputting data. This timing signal f is a high frequency signal outputted from an oscillator 15 composed of a crystal or the like, and a frequency dividing circuit 16
By dividing the frequency by and inputting it to the timing generator E4.

The timing generator 14 further divides the input signal to a predetermined frequency to create various timing signals f.

Further, the clock clock g is output from the frequency dividing circuit 16, and when the clock clock g is input to the address control section 7,
The address control unit 7 moves the program in the ROM 6 to a timekeeping processing flow.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a specific internal configuration of the RAM 9 used in the above-mentioned control circuit.

As shown in the figure, the RAM 9 includes a date register 9a that stores the current date, a time register 9b that stores the time, and a register S + "" S that stores the score of each hole.
+ [1+ Auxiliary register 9 c + Consists of a register 9d for storing each golf course, the date when the golf course was used, an average score, etc., and a flag register such as M-3.

The above-mentioned register 9d further includes registers 9d-1, 9d-1', . . . for storing each golf course name.

Registers 9d-2, 9d-2', etc. that store past average scores on the golf course, and registers 9d-3, 9d-3' that store the date when the golf course was used and the total score at that time. It consists of... Furthermore, 1M to S are flag registers.To explain these flag registers M to S in more detail, flag register M is set to "1" in time mode, and "O" is set in other modes. . The flag register N is set to “1” in the golf mode, and otherwise “1”.
0" is set in the flag register O. In the score input mode, "1" is set, and in other cases, "0" is set. In the flag register P, the golf course name stored in register 9d is set. A counter value indicating the value is stored.

Registers 9a to 9d, S+ to S+e configured as above
, flag registers M, N, O, P, Q.

The contents of registers such as R and S (contents of RAM 9) are read by the arithmetic circuit 10. It is sequentially updated with data output from the key human power section 12. In addition, the contents of the above-mentioned register (the contents of RAM 9) are changed to the arithmetic circuit 10 by the write signal. The signals are sequentially output to the display decoder 11.

An electronic wristwatch having the circuit configuration as described above normally performs timekeeping processing (when in time mode). That is, as shown in the flow chart in FIG.

If there is no instruction for switch processing from the HALT state (step Y1), the predetermined timing is reached.

For example, second processing (time counting processing) is performed sequentially every 1/16 seconds (step Y2). This timekeeping process is executed by the aforementioned timekeeping clock 7g that is output every 1611z, and the time data obtained by this timekeeping process is
The data stored in the time register of the RAM 9 shown in the figure, and the 04 inch data of the current day obtained by the time counting process are stored in the day f inch disc 9a of the RAM 9. On the other hand, the switch processing (step Y3) is performed by the above-mentioned key manual section 12 (switches 5A-8c).
