For example, the storage unit 511 stores "location information", "motion detection information", "green area partition information", "game information", "hole information", "cumulative hits" and "sound detection information". Can be. These information may be physically stored in one storage means, but may be physically stored in different storage means.

 &Quot; Location information " is position information of all time slots during the golf game. That is, it is information about the golf player's hourly position from the beginning of the golf game until the end. The player location information includes location information for each golf player.

In addition, the "location information" may further include information regarding the location of all time zones (times performed by the golf game) of the game assistant. That is, information about the hourly position of the game assistant may be included until the golf game starts from one hole and ends.

"Location information" is received and stored in real time, the golf player's location information is received through the player terminal 100a, the location information of the game assistant is received through the assistant terminal 300.

"Motion detection information" is information about the motion of the game assistant and the motion of the golf game. These pieces of information are received via the assistant terminal 300 and the player terminal 100a, respectively. "Motion detection information" includes information on the assistant's Shanghai movement and the golfer's back movement and Shanghai movement.

&Quot; Green area partition information " is information for virtually partitioning a green into a predetermined number of areas. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the partitioned green area is an area within a radius N [m] (hereinafter referred to as an “N area”) with respect to the cup, and a radius N [m] or more with respect to the cup M [m]. m] region (hereinafter referred to as "M region"), and a region of radius M [m] or more about the cup (hereinafter referred to as "F region"). In this specification, each partitioned green region, that is, N region, M region, and F region, is referred to as a “base region”.

The partitioned green area may be circular or oval, and may be partitioned into an appropriate shape according to the shape of the green area. The partitioned green area is virtual and does not mean that the green is actually partitioned, but means that the green area is virtually partitioned into several areas based on the location information of the green area. That is, the "green area partition information" is information on the virtual partition of the green area into several areas in advance. "Green area segmentation information" serves as a basis for determining in which section the ball at any position of the green area is included. The first default putting number is allocated to each of the base areas, and the “green area partitioning information” includes the first default putting number assigned to each of the base areas. For example, the first default putting number of the F region is assigned to +3, the first default putting number of the M region is assigned to +2, and the first default putting number of the N region is assigned to +1. It is. This default putt is set arbitrarily and can be determined mainly by the game experience. The first default putting number of the F area is set to +3 by the experience that the putting shot is normally required three times since the F area is far from the cup. Of course, depending on the topographical characteristics and the angle of the green area of the stadium, it may be set to +2 or +4 differently.

The first default putting number of the M area is set to +2 based on the experience that the putting shot is normally required twice because the M area is slightly away from the cup. Similarly, depending on the topographical characteristics and the angle of the green area of the stadium, it may be determined differently.

The first default putting number of the N area is set to +1 based on the experience that the putting shot is required about once because the N area is close to the cup. Similarly, depending on the topographical characteristics and the angle of the green area of the stadium, it may be determined differently.

In the above-described embodiment, in the case of three base regions, alternatively, two or four base regions can be set alternatively, and the first default putting number according to the characteristics of the green region is set in each base region. Will be allocated.

 In the present specification, the "green area" means an area where putting is possible, and generally means an area where a cup is located.

"Match information" means game information of a player. For example, the name of the player, how many holes (for example, 9 holes, 19 holes, 27 holes, or 36 holes ...), the game tee-up time, the gender of the player, and the vehicle number of the player. have.

 "Hall information" is information on the position of the playing hole. For example, "hole information" may include location information (for example, location coordinates) for all locations of each hole. For example, the location information may be location information on the driver shot area, location information on the fairway area, and location information on the green area.

"Stacked batter" is the golf shot information of the player, the information on the cumulative strokes for each player, each hole, and the cumulative strokes to the current hole.

 "Sound detection information" is information on the shot estimation sound detected by the player terminal 100a. The "shot estimation sound" may be, for example, a sound generated when the golf club hits the ball, and may be a sound such as "okay" or "nice putting" when the putting shot is made.

The storage unit 511 according to an embodiment of the present invention may additionally store motion reference information and sound reference information. The motion reference information is a kind of sample data, which is detected shot motion data when there is a waist motion, and the sound reference information is a kind of sample data, which is sound data generated when a shot occurs.

For example, the motion reference information is sample data accumulated through several shot operations, may be shot motion data of a female or a male, and may be shot motion data for each age. The motion reference information may be a plurality of shot motion data or shot motion data obtained by artificially performing a shot operation. Alternatively, the motion reference information may be information in which shot motion data of actual players are accumulated.

For example, the motion reference information may be classified and stored as driver shot motion data, page shot motion data, or putting shot motion data.

The sound reference information may also be sample data accumulated through several shot operations, may be shot sound data of a female or a male, and may be shot sound data for each age. The sound reference information may be a plurality of shot sound data or shot sound data obtained by artificially performing a shot operation. Alternatively, the sound reference information may be information in which shot sound data of actual players are accumulated.

The sound reference information may be stored separately, for example, by driver shot sound data, fairway shot sound data, or putting shot sound data.

As shown in FIG. 5, the controller 505 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may determine the remaining distance of the player, determine whether a drive shot is made, and determine whether a fairway shot is made. It is also possible to determine if a putt shot has been made and to determine if a new hole has been initiated.

As described above, the controller may calculate the remaining distance by comparing the position of the current golf player with the previously stored cup position. The controller 505 may know the current golfer's position through information received in real time from the player terminal 100a or "location information" stored in the storage unit, and the pre-stored cup position is stored in the storage unit 511. This can be seen through the stored hole information.

Fourth, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention is a driver shot counting condition if the current golf player's position is in the driver shot region, there is a driver shot estimation sound, and there is a driver shot estimation motion of the golf player. Is determined to be satisfied, the driver shot is counted and the driver shot position is registered.

The controller 505 may use any one of the following methods, or a combination thereof, when determining the fairway shot counting condition.

First, the control unit 505 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines that the fairway shot counting condition is satisfied when the current golfer's position stays in a certain area of the fairway area for a predetermined time and leaves the random area. In addition, the fairway shot may be counted and the area stayed for the predetermined time may be registered as the fairway shot position.

Second, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention, if the current position of the golf player is in the fairway shot area, and the golf player had a fairway shot estimation motion (for example, turning the waist), the fairway shot counting condition Determining that is satisfied, and counts the fair shot and register the fairway shot position. Whether there is a fairway shot estimation motion may be determined by comparing the motion detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with previously stored motion reference information. The controller 505 examines whether the golf player has made the waist rotation at least two times through the motion detection information measured by the actual player terminal 100a. Then, the position where the waist rotation is performed is registered as the shot position and the fairway shot is counted.

Third, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines that the fairway shot counting condition is satisfied if the current golfer's position is in the fairway region and the golfer has a fairway shot estimation sound. Count and register the fairway shot position. Whether there is a fairway shot estimation sound may be determined by comparing the sound detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with previously stored sound reference information. Here, the registered fairway shot position is a position where the shot estimation sound has occurred.

Fourth, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention is a fairway shot counting condition if the current golfer's position is in the fairway shot region, there is a fairway shot estimation sound, and there is a fairway shot estimation motion of the golfer. Is determined to be satisfied, the fairway shot is counted, and the fairway shot position is registered. Here, the registered fairway shot position is a position where the shot estimation motion and the shot estimation sound occur simultaneously.

The controller 505 may use any one of the following methods, or a combination thereof, when determining the putting shot counting condition.

First, the control unit 505 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines that the current shot golfer's position has been satisfied for a predetermined time in the area of the green area for a predetermined time and then outside the area, the putting shot counting condition is satisfied. The counting shot may be counted and the area stayed for the predetermined time may be registered as the putting shot position. The control unit 505, preferably, if the golf player stayed for a predetermined time in any area of the green area, and the game assistant also stayed for a predetermined time in the area, the golf player and the game assistant stayed for a predetermined time as the shot position. Register and count your putting shots.

Second, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention is in the area where the current golf player is in the green area, and putting shot estimation motion (for example, the shankdong motion or waist rotational motion of the golf player) or putting shot assistance If there is an estimated motion (Shanghai East Motion of the assistant), it is determined that the putting shot counting condition is satisfied, the putting shot is counted, and the putting shot position is registered. Whether there is a putting shot estimation motion or a putting shot auxiliary estimation motion may be determined by comparing the motion detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a or the assistant terminal 300 with previously stored motion reference information. The control unit 505 determines whether the golf player is in Shanghai East motion and the game assistant is in Shanghai East motion through the motion detection information measured by the actual player terminal 100a. All of them register Shanghai Dong Motion as a putting shot position and count the putting shot.

Third, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines that the current golf player's position is in the green region, and if the golf player has a putting shot estimation sound, the putting shot counting condition is satisfied. Count and register the putting shot position. Whether there is a putting shot estimation sound may be determined by comparing the sound detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with previously stored sound reference information. Here, the registered shot position is a position where the putting shot estimation sound has occurred.

Fourth, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention, if the current position of the golf player is in the green area, there was a putting shot estimation sound, and there was also a putting shot estimation motion of the golf player and the game assistant, putting shot It is determined that the counting condition is satisfied, the putting shot is counted, and the putting shot position is registered. Here, the registered shot position is a position where the putting shot estimation motion and the putting shot estimation sound are simultaneously generated.

Fifth, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines whether the putting shot counting condition is satisfied by comprehensively considering the green area block information, the putting shot estimation sound, the putting shot estimation motion, and the like. A method of using the green region block information will be described later with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 13 to 20).

When the confirmation information is received from the assistant terminal 500, the control unit 505 completes the shot count and position registration in the corresponding hole. Preferably, even if the golf player enters a new hole and does not receive confirmation information until the driver shot, the controller 505 determines that the golf player has moved to the new hole, completes counting of the previous golf shot and registers the position. To complete. Thereafter, the counting and position registration operation of the golf shot is performed in the new hole.

As used herein, motions such as "driver shot estimation motion", "fairway estimation motion", "putting shot estimation motion", "putting shot auxiliary estimation motion", and the like all refer to motions detected by the motion detector. For example, "Driver Shot Estimation Motion", "Fairway Shot Estimation Motion", and "Put Shot Estimation Motion" include the rotation of the waist or the Shanghai East Motion. For example, the assistants in Shanghai East Motion.

In addition, sounds such as "driver shot estimation sound", "fairway shot estimation sound", "putting shot estimation sound", and the like used in the present specification are used as meaning sounds detected by the sound detector.

On the other hand, whether the player leaves the specific area or how long the player enters the specific area is calculated based on the player's position information, and thus it will be conceptually distinguished from the above-described shot estimation motions. Similarly, information about which area the race assistant is in the green area and how long it has stayed is conceptually separated from the putting shot assisted estimation motion.

6 is a flowchart for calculating a remaining distance according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, by comparing a current golfer's position with a previously stored cup position (S601), the remaining distance to the cup may be calculated (S603), and the remaining distance to the calculated cup may be displayed in real time. (S605).

The above-described process of calculating the remaining distance may be calculated by the player terminal 100a or by the management server 200. The remaining distance calculated by the management server 200 is transmitted to the player terminal 100a in real time. If it is calculated in the player terminal 100a, the calculated remaining distance may be transmitted to the management server 200 as an option.

The remaining distance calculated in S605 may be displayed in real time in the player terminal 100a and may also be displayed in the assistant terminal 300 as an option.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing a real-time golf game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when a new hole is started, an initialization step is performed (S701). In the initializing step, the cumulative strokes in the current hole displayed on the assistant terminal 300 are all set to "O", and the cumulative strokes up to the previous hole are finally stored.

The start of a new hall is started when there is a confirmation signal from the assistant terminal 300 or when the management server determines that it is a new hall.

The management server 200 may determine the current player's position based on the position calculation information received in real time through the player terminal 100a (S703). The management server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may differently determine whether the driver is in the driver shot area according to whether the current player is a male or a female. Typically, the driver shot area used by men and the driver shot area used by women are different, and this is predetermined before the game. Accordingly, the management server 200 may determine whether the current player is in the driver shot area by distinguishing whether the player is a male or a female using the game information stored in the storage unit 511. It is possible to distinguish whether the player located in the driver area is a male or a female because a unique identifier is assigned to the player terminal, and the game information stored in the storage unit 511 stores such an identifier for each player. .

If the current player's position is in the driver shot area, the management server 200 determines the number of shots and the shot position by process 1 (determining whether the driver shot counting condition is satisfied) (S707). If the position is in the fairway area, the stroke and shot position are determined by the process 2 (determination process of meeting the fairway shot counting condition) (S709). If the current competitor's position is in the green area, the process 3 ( The stroke and shot position are determined by the determination process of whether the putting shot counting condition is satisfied (S711).

The number of strokes accumulated by the management server 200 may be displayed on the assistant terminal 300, and may also be displayed on the player terminal 100a as an option (S713). Here, the number of strokes displayed may be at least one of the cumulative strokes in the current hole or the total cumulative strokes up to the previous hole.

If a correction command is input through the assistant terminal 300 (S715: YES), the assistant terminal 300 redisplays the number of strokes according to the correction command and transmits the correction command to the management server 200. The management server 200 modifies the accumulated number of hits according to the correction command. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a correction command for -1 accumulative stroke is input, the management server 200 -1 accumulates the cumulative stroke and cancels the position registered with the last putting shot. If a correction command for making a cumulative stroke +1 is input, the management server 200 may +1 the cumulative stroke and add a putting shot position arbitrarily.

If a confirmation command (or "also referred to as a confirmation signal") is input through the assistant terminal 300 (S715: YES), the assistant terminal 300 displays the cumulative stroke display portion in the current hole as "0". The cumulative stroke display part up to the previous hole accumulates and displays all shots shot so far. Then, the assistant terminal 300 transmits a confirmation command to the management server 200, the management server 200 completes the accumulation of strokes and position registration in the corresponding hole, and performs the initialization operation.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing a real-time golf game according to another embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 8 is a method similar to that of FIG. 7 except that the method further includes S825. That is, there is a difference in that the management server 200 may perform an operation of correcting and confirming only when the P3 process is necessarily performed (that is, when all the putting shot counting conditions are completed) (S817).

9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a drive shot and a shot position according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, a process of performing a drive shot counting condition is illustrated, and the management server 200 may determine the driver shot area of the shot only when it stays in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time) (S901: YES). It registers as a position and counts a driver shot (S903). In this case, the predetermined time D_Time may be determined in consideration of, for example, a time required to take a driver shot and a time required to perform a preliminary operation (Yeviswing) to make a driver shot. For example, the predetermined time D_Time may be 3 seconds or more.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a drive shot and a shot position according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the management server 200 stays in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time) (S1001: YES), and if there is a driver shot estimation motion (for example, movement of the waist) (S1003: YES), The player position in the driver area is registered as the driver shot position, and the driver shot is counted (S1005).

Various modifications are possible with respect to the embodiment shown in FIG. 10. For example, the management server 200 stays in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time), and has a driver shot estimation motion (for example, a waist movement). If there is a driver shot estimation sound, the driver shot position is registered as the driver shot position when the driver shot estimation motion is performed, and the driver shot is counted (S1005).

In another variation, for example, the management server 200 stays in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time), and if there is a driver shot estimation sound, the driver shot position is the position where the competitor was when there was a driver shot estimation sound. The driver shot is counted and the driver shot is counted (S1005).

As another variation, for example, the management server 200, if there is a driver shot estimation sound or driver shot estimation motion, when there is a driver shot estimation motion when there is a driver shot estimation sound or when there is a driver shot estimation sound The competitor's position is registered as the driver shot position, and the driver shot is counted (S1005).

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a fairway shot and a shot position according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, the management server 200 stays in the fairway area for a predetermined time (F_Time) (S1101: YES), and if there is a fairway shot estimation motion (for example, movement of the waist) (S1203: YES), The position having the fairway shot estimation motion is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted (S1105).

Here, "F_Time" may be empirically determined as the time required to take a fairway shot in the fairway area, and may be set to, for example, 5 seconds or more.

11 may be modified. If the F_Time stays in the fairway area, there is a fairway shot estimation motion, and there is a fairway shot estimation sound, there may be a position or fairway shot estimation motion in which the competitor stayed for a certain time. The position of the competitor at the time or the position of the competitor when there is a fairway shot estimation sound is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted.

In another variation, if the player stays in the fairway area for a predetermined time (F_Time), and if there is a fairway shot estimation sound, the player's position when the player stays for a predetermined time or when there is a fairway shot estimation sound is registered as a fairway shot position, Count fairway shots.

In another modified example, if there is a fairway shot estimation sound in the fairway area, the competitor's position when the fairway shot estimation sound is present is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a fairway shot and a shot position according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, when the position of the competitor is included in the obi or hazard box area (S1207), the difference is that a penalty of +2 or +1 is added (S1209). The management server 200 already knows the position of the hazard box (it is included in the hole information), and therefore, if the player takes a golf shot in the hazard box, if there is a fairway shot estimation sound or a fairway shot estimation motion, the fairway shot Add a +1 penalty when counting. For Obi, a similar process would be possible. However, OBI box will be able to automatically count the beta (+2) only in a separate golf course, such as hazard box.

13 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining whether to putt and a putting position according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 13 is based on the example where there are three partitioned green areas (F area, M area, N area) as described above, and the first default putting shots for them are +3, +2, And assumed to be +1.

Referring to FIG. 13, when it is determined that the competitor is in the green area, the management server 200 determines, by process P4, which base area among the green areas in which the first putting position belongs in advance (S1303). Process P4 is a process of determining a first putting position and determining which base regions the determined first putting position belongs to, and will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17.

After determining which base area the first putting location belongs to, the management server 200 determines the second putting prediction areas based on the base area and the first putting location to which the first putting location belongs (S1311 to). S1313, S1321 to S1323), and determines which one of the second putting prediction regions is located in the second putting prediction region (S1315, S1325), and a second previously allocated to the second putting prediction region having the second putting position. The default number of putts is determined as the total number of putts (S1317 and S1327). On the other hand, when the first putting position is the N area, the management server 200 determines the total putting shot as +1 (S1331 to S1333).

S1313 and S1323 are determined by the process P5, and the process P5 will be described later in detail with reference to Figs.

S1315 and S1303 include a process of determining where the ball to be put is located in the green area. The management server 200 determines where the ball to be put is located in the green area, and determines the position of the ball to be put on the basis of whether or not the above-described putting shot counting condition is satisfied. That is, the management server 200 determines the position of the ball to be put as a position satisfying the putting shot counting condition.

Now, S1317 and S1327 will be described, respectively.

S1317 is a process applied when the first putting position is the F area, and is a process of determining the second default putting number assigned to the area where the actual golf ball has arrived as the total putting number. For example, as a result of the first putt, if the golf ball reaches the N area, the total putt is determined to be +2, and if it is the M area, the total putt is determined to be +3. The second default putting number may be set to be about ± 1 difference from the first default putting number allocated to the corresponding area, but is not limited thereto.

S1327 is a process applied when the first putting position is the M area, and is a process of determining the total number of putts as the second default putting number allocated to the area where the actual golf ball arrived as a result of the first putting. For example, as a result of the first putt, if the golf ball reaches the N area, the total putt is determined to be +2, and if it is the M area, the total putt is determined to be +3. As described above, the second default putting number may be set to be about ± 1 difference from the first default putting number allocated to the corresponding area, but is not limited thereto.

14 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a putt and a putting position according to another embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 14 is similar to the process of FIG. 13, except that when the first putting position is determined (S1403), the management server 200 stores the first putting position and accumulates +1, and the assistant terminal ( There is a difference in that the accumulated shots are displayed on the screen. According to the exemplary embodiment, the accumulated shots may be displayed on the terminal 100a of the golf player as described above. The subsequent process is the same as in FIG. 13 and will be omitted.

15 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a putt and a putting position according to another embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 15 is similar to the process of FIG. 14, except that the management server 200 determines whether the number of strokes accumulated in the current hole is a double par and determines the number of strokes in the current hole when it is more than double wave. There is a difference in that it does not accumulate anymore (S1505: YES). Typically, at least six strokes are referred to as double waves in the par 3 holes, at least 8 strokes are referred to as double waves in the par 4 holes, and at least 10 strokes are referred to as double waves in the par 5 holes. In the present embodiment, although it may vary depending on the rules of the golf game, a standard having a similar function may be introduced as a double wave is introduced as a standard for accumulating shots.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating one embodiment of a sub-process P4 used in the method shown in FIGS. 13 to 15.

The sub process P4 is a process of determining the first putting position and determining which base area the first putting position belongs to.

Referring to FIG. 16, the management server 200 selects first candidate regions in which the first putting position is estimated based on the actions of the game assistants (S1601) and based on the actions of the players, the first putting. The second candidate areas are estimated to be located (S1602), and the first putting location is determined by comparing the first candidate areas with the second candidate areas (S1605), and the determined first putting location is divided in advance. It is determined in which base area among the drawn green areas (S1607).

The assistant's actions may be, for example, how long the assistant has been stationary at some point on the green, or a motion that may be presumed to be an assisting shot. will be. Also, the actions of the player may be, for example, how long the player is stationary at some place on the green, or a motion (ie putting shot estimation motion) or putt shot estimating sound that is presumed to have been a put shot. And so on.

Here, S1601 and S1602 are not related in time, and may be performed either of them first, or they may be performed simultaneously.

FIG. 17 is a diagram for describing the subprocess P4 illustrated in FIG. 16.

Referring to FIG. 17, a green area virtually partitioned into a predetermined number is shown. As the base region, an N region 1709, an M region 1707, an F region 1705, and a cup 1701 are illustrated. In this example, the N region 1709 is an area within a radius Nd [m] about the cup 1701, and the M region 1707 is a radius Nd [m] or more Nd + Md [around the cup 1701. m], and the F region 1705 was set to a region of radius Nd + Md [m] or more about the cup 1701. The virtually partitioned regions N, M, and F regions do not partition the actual green region, but may arbitrarily partition the program. The base area of each of these areas is referred to above.

Referring to FIG. 17, it can be seen that the first putting position 1703 is located in the F region, and the outermost dotted line is arbitrary and will vary depending on the shape or size of the green region. In addition, although the base regions are shown in FIG. 17 in a circular shape, elliptical shapes are possible, and other shapes may be possible depending on the shape of the green region. On the other hand, it is as described above that the determination of which base area the golf ball 1703 is located can be determined using the putting shot counting condition.

Information about the base areas shown in FIG. 17 is included in the green area section information of the management server 200. After the management server 200 determines the first putting position 1703, the pre-stored greens are stored. Using the area partition information, it is determined in which base area the first putting position 1703 is included.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating a sub process P5 used in the method illustrated in FIGS. 13 to 15, FIG. 19 is a diagram for describing the sub process P5 illustrated in FIG. 18, and FIG. 20 is FIG. 18. It is a figure for demonstrating the subprocess P5 shown to it.

18 to 20 illustrate a process of selecting a second putting prediction region, the management server 200 sets a virtual straight line between the predetermined first putting position and the cup (S1801), and establishes a virtual straight line. A plurality of virtual regions are set as a reference (S1803), and second putting prediction regions are determined among the set virtual regions (S1805).

Referring to FIG. 19, a method of setting a virtual region will be described.

Referring to FIG. 19, a virtual straight line is shown between the first putting position 1903 and the cup 1901, and a total of nine virtual regions are set based on the virtual straight line. That is, F1 (1927), F2 (1915), F3 (1911), F4 (1917), M1 (1925), M2 (1921), M3 (1923), M4 (1919), and N (1929). It is set. This virtual area is virtual and may be determined empirically.

For example, the golf player will putt along a virtual straight line, typically a straight line to the cup, at the first putting position 1917, and the golf ball will then be located in any one of the virtual regions described above. These virtual areas are used to select a second putting expected position to be described later.

Since the slope or the terrain between the first putting position 1917 and the cup will be different for each hole, the virtual straight line may vary slightly depending on the hole, and the management server 200 has the hole information for each hole, so it is suitable for the characteristics of each hole. Virtual straight line can be set.

A method of selecting a second putting prediction region will be described with reference to FIG. 20.

When the first putting is performed along the virtual straight line illustrated in FIG. 19, the region having the highest probability as the region to which the second putting expected point belongs may be set as the regions M4 (1919), N (1929), and M1 (1929). . The setting of the M4 (1919), N (1929), M1 (1929) area can be automatically determined by the management server 200. For example, the second putting expected point is an area that is in contact with the virtual straight line. You can set the belonging area. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 20, F1 is excluded from the second putting prediction region, which is based on experience, considering the probability that the first putting in F4 is very unlikely to arrive at the F1 region again. In some embodiments, F1 may also be included in the second putting prediction region.

The information displayed in the first operation mode is information for the player before the game is played, and is not limited to the above information, and may include other useful information.

If the player arrives at the stadium or is moving to start the game, the management server 200 may control the terminal 3001 to operate in the second operation mode. For example, the management server 200 transmits an operation mode change message to the terminal 3001 informing the terminal 3001 to operate in the second operation mode when the competitor arrives at the first hole or moves to the first hole. When the terminal 3001 receives the second operation mode change message, the terminal 3001 performs the second operation mode.

Referring to FIG. 32, in the second operation mode, the remaining distance, the accumulated stroke of the current hole, and the accumulated stroke up to the previous hole are displayed.

The remaining distance may be information received in real time from the management server 200, and the cumulative stroke of the current hall may be information received in real time from the management server 200. The cumulative strokes up to the previous hole can also be received from the management server 200, but if the terminal 3001 has a configuration in which the cumulative strokes are stored separately, the previously stored "accumulations to the previous hole" can be displayed. have.

The information displayed in reference numeral 3007 indicates that up to hole 4, 16 strokes were dug and +5 was over, so that the total accumulated strokes were 21 strokes.

The information displayed in reference numeral 3005 indicates that the current hole is the 5th hole, Par 4, and 2 shots have been taken so far.

When the game is over, that is, the player exits the last hole or reaches the clubhouse, the management server 200 transmits a command to the terminal 3001 to switch to the third operation. By this command, the terminal 3001 switches to the third operation and displays the information defined to be displayed in the third operation mode.

33 shows an example of information displayed on the terminal 3001 in the third operation mode. Referring to FIG. 33, the locker number [M] 254 is displayed, the total number of strokes, that is, 100 strokes, indicates 28 overs, and indicates that the event was won in the eighth hole.

An event can be won automatically or manually. For example, if a driver shots a ball at a certain point of the fairway at the eighth hole, an event for presenting a set of golf balls to the player is set. ) Can automatically determine whether a player in the eighth hole has won the event. This is because the management server 200 according to the present invention can know the shot position of the player.

In addition to this, it is of course possible to display the information necessary for the player after the end of the game.

As such, the management server can provide a variety of information according to the progress of the competition of the player.

Although it has been described as having three operation modes, it is possible to have two operation modes or four or more operation modes in some cases. In addition, although the golf player terminal switches the operation mode under the control of the management server 200, it is also possible to switch the operation mode by, for example, the golf game assistant's instruction or the golf player's instruction.

The operation of switching the three operation modes of the golf player terminal by the instruction of the golf game assistant will be described.

To this end, the terminal of the golf game assistant 300 is further provided with a user interface for receiving an operation mode switching command from the game assistant. The interface unit may be formed of, for example, a button or a touch pad, but is not limited thereto.

When the switching command is directly transmitted to the management server 200, the management server 200 transmits a command for switching the second operation mode to the player terminal 3001 together with information necessary for the second operation mode. On the other hand, if the command for switching the second operation mode from the terminal 300 of the golf game assistant is configured to be transmitted directly to the player terminal 3001, the management server 200 is that the player terminal 3001 operation mode is switched In this case, the terminal 300 sets the notification indicating the fact that the operation mode is switched to the management server 200, or the management terminal 200 sets the notification indicating that the operation terminal 3001 has switched its operation mode. Can be.

 On the other hand, the player terminal 3001 is switched to the second operation mode by the operation mode switching command. The management server 200 knows the operation mode of the player terminal 3001 (as described above, by receiving a message indicating that a switch command or a switch command from the assistant terminal has been made), the player terminal 3001 Information necessary for the second operation mode is transmitted.

 Thereafter, when the game ends, the assistant may give a command to switch to the third operation mode using the terminal 300 again. Thereafter, in the same manner as the method for switching to the second operation mode, the player terminal 3001 is switched to the third operation mode, the management server 200 transmits the information required for the third operation mode.

Alternatively, the operation mode of the golf player terminal may be switched by the golf player's instruction. That is, the golf player terminal further includes a user interface unit such as a button, a switch, a touch pad for switching the operation mode, and the operation mode switching may be performed through such an interface unit. For example, when the golf player receives the first golf player terminal, the golf player operates in the first operation mode, and when the golf player receives the operation mode switching command from the player, the golf player operates in the second operation mode. When receiving from the player to operate in the third operation mode.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiments, the management server has been described as transmitting information displayed in each operation mode, but information displayed in the first operation mode and information displayed in the third operation mode are not transmitted to the competitor terminal.
