In general, golf provides a hole cup at a certain distance and hits a golf ball with a golf club such as a driver to put a golf ball in the hole cup. Say.

There are various golf clubs that vary in material, length, shape of head, material of head, weight of head and loft of club head (vertical tilt of club head face). Choose the club that best suits your needs and play the hole cup on the tee ground.

Golf clubs consist of wood, irons, and putters, and woods and irons are numbered according to the length of each club and the vertical slope of the club face. Wood is numbered in the order of 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and the smaller the number, the longer the shaft and the smaller the loft, the greater the distance. For irons, the shaft length is shorter and the slope of the face is shorter than the 9 irons, such as pitching wedges and sand wedges, which are used for irons and approaches up to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 on a full set basis. There is a large iron and each iron is different in the length and loft of the shaft will cause a difference in the trajectory of the golf ball.

As above, each club has various characteristics, but each company that manufactures a club manufactures a more efficient club through research and development, so there is a difference in the characteristics of each club. In addition, since the user's physical characteristics are different, it is difficult for the user to know which club is right for him.

In the past, the user cannot identify the club in use, so they cannot analyze the characteristics of each club for the user, and it is not possible to know exactly whether the club being used is suitable for them, and the average hit, fairway hit rate, green hit rate, etc. Only the in-rounding information is provided, but there is a limit in providing more detailed information.

Hereinafter, a golf simulating device using a golf club identification device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a golf simulating device capable of identifying a golf club of the present invention.

Golf simulating device capable of identifying a golf club of the present invention is a sensing unit for sensing the track of the club and the club used by the club identification unit 100 and the ball hit the user to identify the clubs used by the user in the rounding simulated ( 200 and the calculation unit 300 for calculating the trajectory of the ball to be simulated by using the information about the club identified in the club identification unit 100 and the trajectory of the ball and the club sensed in the sensing unit 200 and the rounding simulated It comprises a database 500 for accumulating and storing the information about the club used in the rounding information according to the trajectory of the ball calculated by the calculation unit 300.

The club identification unit 100 identifies the type of club used by the user in the rounding being simulated, and receives the spec data of the club and calculates the track of the ball to be simulated by the calculation unit 300 for the club identified. Communicate information

Club identification unit 100 of the present invention identifies the club in the configuration to identify the club and transmits the information about the type of club and the manufacturer of the club described above to the calculation unit 300. Club identification unit 100 of the present invention is attached to the club, for example, containing information about the club, that is, the type of club (wood # or iron # or pitching wedge, send wedge, etc.) and the manufacturer of the club, etc. The club data storage unit 110 and the club data storage unit 110 is wirelessly connected to the receiver unit 120 for receiving data for the club. (First embodiment)

Club data storage unit 110 contains information about the type of club and the club manufacturer. Of course, if necessary to the extent permitted by capacity, other information may be included in addition to the club's manufacturer and club type.

The receiver unit 120 receives data about the club stored in the club data storage unit through a wireless connection with the club data storage unit 110 and transmits the data to the calculation unit 300.

The club data storage unit 110 and the receiver unit 120 may be any device capable of transmitting and receiving data through a wireless connection. However, in consideration of economical efficiency, a wireless method in which the club data storage unit 110 and the receiver unit 120 is one-way is preferable rather than expensive two-way communication.

Of course, if you don't care about the cost, you can use a wireless method that allows two-way communication such as Bluetooth or Zigbee.

Club identification apparatus 100 in the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a club data storage unit 110 consisting of an RFID tag and an RFID reader 120 for receiving information stored in the RFID tag. RFID stands for Radio-frequency Identification and refers to a technology that recognizes remote information using radio waves. It is classified into active and passive types. Active means that the tag itself has a power source, which enables high-speed communication and has a large storage capacity, but is expensive. On the other hand, passive type does not have its own power and reads the information of the tag by the power of the reader. Instead, it communicates at low speed and does not have a large storage capacity.

In the present invention, since the amount of data stored in the club data storage unit 110 including the spec data of the club is not very large and there is not much need for high speed communication, it is preferable to adopt a passive RFID in terms of price. In addition, since the club data storage unit 110 must be attached to each club, it is preferable that the manual type can be made compact.

Club identification device 100 made of the passive RFID method is advantageous as the distance between the club data storage unit 110 and the receiver unit 120 made of RFID tags is shorter as the recognition distance is less than 1.8 m. Attaching RFID tags to clubhead and shaft connections as shown in FIG. 2 can minimize the distance between the tag and the reader and minimize the interference on the swing to minimize the interference that can be given to using the There is an advantage to this.

In the present invention, in addition to the RFID tag and reader, a new short-range wireless communication standard Ruby (RuBee: IEEE 1902.1) can be used to identify the club. Consists of the club data storage unit 110 made of ruby tags and the receiver unit 120 made of ruby readers, the ruby method is capable of producing inexpensive communication without obscuring objects and producing a relatively long communication distance and low cost. There is this. Ruby, unlike RFID, uses a signal from a magnetic field, and even though it is covered in aluminum foil, it has the advantage of being able to communicate. However, the recognition speed of the information is only 10 times per second, which is significantly lower than 100 to 200 times per second of RFID.

As shown in FIG. 3, the club identification unit 100 detects the cover unit 130 and the cover unit 130 attached to the club to identify the club. The information on the club identified in the club detection unit can be stored in the database (500).

The cover unit 130 includes a variety of signs that can be identified, such as a simple figure, a difference in reflectance or color, and the club detector 140 identifies a cover provided in the cover unit 130 by using an image recognition device such as a camera. Identify the club you are using. In the second embodiment, the cover unit 130 does not contain the date for the club but only the cover plate for identifying the club, and the detection unit detects the club detector 140 and transmits the calculation unit 300 to the calculation unit. In operation 300, information on the identified club among the club data stored in the database 500 may be extracted and used.

The second embodiment as described above has the advantage of identifying the club in a very simple way that the user can directly attach the cover portion 130 for his or her club only need to attach a simple cover, so that the user While there is an advantage that there is no interference at all, there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost is very low.

The sensing unit 200 senses the trajectory of the ball hit by the user and the trajectory of the club. The ball trajectory measures the physical quantity to know the trajectory of the ball, including the left and right directions, the up and down direction, and the speed of the ball. The club trajectory detects the club trajectory by sensing the swing trajectory of the club and the direction of the club face. The result sensed by the sensing unit 200 is mapped on the golf course being rounded to calculate the trajectory of the ball to be simulated by the calculation unit 300. The calculated trajectory of the ball is mapped onto the golf course and the calculation unit 300. Alternatively, the statistical processing unit 350 extracts the user's rounding characteristic. In addition, the statistical processing unit 350 combines the rounding information calculated by the calculation unit 300 and data about the club identified through the club identification unit 100 to extract the user's club-specific features, and the extracted rounding characteristics and Club-specific features are accumulated and stored for each user in the database 500. The accumulated and stored results are analyzed and provided to the user through the display apparatus 400 or the network, and may be provided graphically using a graph or the like.

In addition, the statistical processing unit 350 analyzes the accumulated information to classify the users by skills (average strokes such as average, intermediate, amateur, etc., using various information such as the use of mulligan) and statistics for this. Calculate the data. Such statistical data may be used in various ways. For example, an appropriate club may be recommended to the user by analyzing club selection of other users having similar abilities.

Typically, the average stroke, average flight distance, fairway seating rate, green hit rate, average putt, sand save rate, and par save rate are calculated.

4 shows various statistics for determining the characteristics of the rounding. The golf course is largely composed of a tee ground, a fairway and a green, and the rest is rough. The flying distance is l, which is the distance flying when you hit the ball with a golf club. The fairway settling rate means that the first shot (A) has fallen on the fairway from the par 4 and 5 holes, divided by the number of total par 4 and 5 holes dropped on the fairway and multiplied by 100. The green hit rate is the one on par 1, the second on par 4, and the third on par 5 on the green. 4 is a case where the second shot B is climbed to the green as the par 4 hole is divided by 18 and multiplied by 100. The sand save rate means that the ball is out in the duo if the ball is missed in the green side bunker, and the save rate is the hole out after the approach shot.

Conventionally, there is a problem in that a club used by a user cannot be identified during rounding, so that the user cannot analyze characteristics of a club used during rounding. In addition to the usual statistics above, a real user needs information on how far his wood is, how many slices he has, and how fast he can hook up. Clubs that are used by other users a lot like the information about any club is useful, and in the past there was a limit that can not provide these detailed statistics to the user.

In the golf simulating device according to the present invention, the user may use the information on the characteristics of each club (for example, the number 1 wood has a continuous slice or hook characteristic, etc.) to see if there is a problem in his swing posture. Not only can you self-diagnose yourself, but you can also determine if your club is right for you, based on similar or other user's club choices.

In addition, when providing the club-specific information as described above to the user has the effect that the user can accurately diagnose his golf skills much more easily and efficiently than in the actual field.

In addition, it is possible to more accurately and automatically classify the characteristics of the user based on the data of the detailed user as described above, and to provide the user with customized lessons and training.

The calculation unit 300 calculates the trajectory of the ball to be simulated using the ball sensed by the sensing unit 200 and the club identification unit 100 and the club trajectory and the identified club data.

The result calculated by the calculator 300 is displayed to the user through the display device 400 and the ball hit along the trajectory of the ball calculated in the simulated golf course is reproduced.

The display device 400 displays the simulated roundings to the user in real time, and provides the user with the data for analyzing the rounding result and the club-specific characteristics after the end of the rounding to the user in the golf simulating device. Provide all the information to do.
