Golf simulating device and method {APPARATUS FOR GOLF SIMULATION USING USER'S DB AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a golf simulating device, and more particularly, it is possible to present a correct swing posture to a golfer by sensing a golfer's swing motion with a sensing unit and analyzing the swing motion. The present invention relates to a golf simulation device that can provide a step-by-step change in swing posture by providing accumulated analysis information.

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. Wood 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.

In recent years, the number of golfers who enjoy such golf is increasing rapidly, but the cost of playing golf is not easy, and as an alternative, the interest in the golf simulating device implemented by the virtual golf simulation is increasing. A large number of virtual golf simulation devices have been developed.

However, the conventional golf simulating device merely provides information about the rounding background and the rounding, and development of a device that substantially implements the golfer's swing analysis is insignificant.

Meanwhile, the device that implements the golfer's swing analysis currently extracts 3D stereoscopic swing analysis data by attaching a separate motion capture device to the golfer's body or clothing worn by the golfer, but the motion capture device itself is expensive. Therefore, there is a problem of excessively increasing the price of the golf simulation device capable of swing analysis, and golfers need to attach a separate motion capture device to a part of the body or clothes, which makes the swing posture uncomfortable, and as a result, to improve golf performance. The problem is that it interferes. In addition, since the swing analysis information is provided once by motion capture, there is a problem in that the swing analysis information cannot be provided step by step.

One technical problem of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for golf simulating a golfer's swing analysis at a lower cost.

In addition, one technical problem of the present invention is to provide a golf simulation device and method for improving the ease of use does not interfere with the golfer's swing posture.

The sensing marker 100 is formed on a predetermined portion of a golf club used by a golfer rounding at a simulated golf course, and in particular, the swing trajectory of the golfer can be sensed the most, and the golf club hits the golf ball when hitting it. In order to prevent damage due to the impact, it is preferable to be mounted at the junction of the shaft 10 and the head 20 of the golf club.

The sensing unit 200 detects a golfer's hitting posture and the trajectory of the sensing marker when the golfer hits the golf ball. That is, the golfer's swing motion is detected by sensing gaze treatment, arm movement, leg fixation posture, and a sensing marker formed on the golf club, which are each part of the golfer's body.

The sensing unit may be representatively a camera sensor, and more specifically, any one of a time lapse camera, a medium speed camera, and a high speed camera may be used.

Here, the high speed camera is, for example, a camera having a function of being stored in slow motion by expanding about 50 seconds when shooting 5 seconds, and the time lapse camera is a fast mode when shooting 50 seconds. A camera with a function that stores about 5 seconds. Of course, the medium speed shooting camera refers to a camera having a function between the high speed shooting camera and the low speed shooting camera.

The motion analysis unit 300 receives the data sensed by the sensing unit 200 to analyze the swing motion of the golfer. That is, for example, the trajectory of the sensing marker of the golf club detected by the high speed camera is analyzed to analyze the golf course's swing trajectory, swing tempo, swing speed, and swing consistency.

To this end, the motion analysis unit 300, as shown in Figure 3, swing trajectory analysis section 310, swing tempo analysis section 320, swing speed analysis section 330, swing consistency analysis section 340 It may include.

Here, the swing trajectory analysis section 310 analyzes the trajectory of the sensing marker that spatially connects the position information of the sensing marker sensed by the sensing unit as the swing trajectory of the golfer, and the sensing in the swing tempo analysis section 320. The position information of the sensing marker detected by the unit is divided into a back swing section, a down swing section, and a follow up section, and the swing tempo is analyzed from their temporal ratios.

In addition, the swing speed analysis section 330 calculates the swing speed of the golfer by calculating the time required from the backswing to the follow-up using the sensing data of the sensing marker, and the swing consistency analysis section 340 of the golfer. Analyze whether the swing forms a consistent track by comparing the swing track with or similar to the standard swing track or the golfer's most desirable swing track.

The display unit 400 receives the analysis data from the motion analysis unit 300 and displays the analysis data on the screen. The display unit may display various information. For example, the number of strokes, flying distance, firing angle, ball speed, remaining distance, left and right, etc. may be displayed as the rounding-related information along with the rounding background screen.

Particularly, in the present invention, when the golfer hits the golf ball, the golfer's hitting posture is sensed and the trajectory of the sensing marker formed on the golf club is sensed so that the golfer's swing trajectory, swing tempo, swing speed, swing consistency, etc. Can be analyzed and this analysis information can be displayed. In addition, the golfer may further include an analysis item selection unit 410 to display only desired analysis information. If only the desired analysis information is displayed, the golfer can focus more on the item.

The display unit 400 may display a simple analysis column and an advanced analysis column together with a rounding background screen and rounding related information. In other words, the swing coherence field, which shows the degree of correspondence with existing swings or standard swings, can be displayed in a brief analysis field, allowing the golfer to intuitively review his swing immediately after the swing, and more detailed information such as swing track, swing tempo, swing speed, etc. Swing information can be displayed in the Advanced Analysis column, allowing you to examine your swing in more depth.

The database unit 500 receives the analysis data from the motion analysis unit 300 and accumulates it. The database unit 500 includes a golfer information storage unit 510 for accumulating and storing information about a golfer, a swing track analysis data storage unit 520 for accumulating and storing analyzed data about a swing track for each golfer, and swing Swing tempo analysis data storage unit 530 accumulates and stores the analyzed data about the tempo for each golfer, swing speed analysis data storage unit 540 accumulates and stores the analyzed data about the swing speed for each golfer, swing The swing consistency analysis data storage unit 550 may accumulate and store analyzed data regarding the consistency for each golfer. In this case, an input means for inputting information about the golfer is provided to store data for each golfer. In addition, the input means may be able to select a desired item in order to selectively accumulate and store only desired analysis data. Thus, by accumulating and storing various analysis data for each golfer, and displaying them through the display unit 400, the golfer can monitor the golfer's step-by-step swing motion change and finally correct the golfer's swing posture to play golf. Can help improve performance.

Hereinafter, a method of using the golf simulating apparatus of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a golf simulating method according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 is an exemplary diagram showing a golf simulating method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 7, first, the golfer inputs information about himself (S10).

Next, the golf simulating device can select various types of games on the initial screen, and the golf simulating device selects a swing simulation mode for the swing analysis of the golfer (S20). Immediately or after a certain period of time (time to prepare for a strike), a sensing unit, such as a high speed camera, is activated to capture the golfer's posture and begin to sense the sensing markers formed on the golf club.

Next, the golf ball is positioned at the designated position, and the posture is prepared for the strike preparation. This is called "ball ready" (S30).

Then, start with the backswing and hit the golf ball through the downswing and follow up positions. In this case, the sensing unit continuously photographs the posture of the golfer and detects position information of the sensing marker. This is called " shot detection " (S40). If "shot detection" has not been made due to a blow miss or temporary malfunction, etc., the shot detection step is repeated in the ball ready step until the shot is detected. In this shot detection step, three-dimensional motion data required for motion analysis is acquired (S50).

Next, the golfer's swing motion is analyzed using the golfer's posture information detected by the shot detection step and the position information of the sensing marker. (S60) In this case, as described above, the swing track of the golfer, Swing tempo, swing speed, swing coherence, and the like are analyzed.

Next, the data analyzed in the swing motion analysis step is displayed on the screen (S70). At this time, the analysis information selected by the golfer may be displayed using the analysis item selection unit. In addition, as described above, the swing consistency may be displayed in a simple analysis field of the display unit, and at least one of swing trajectory, swing tempo, and swing speed may be displayed in the advanced analysis field.

Next, or at the same time as the display step S70, the analyzed data is stored in the database unit. (S80) The description of the stored information is as described above.

As described above with reference to the drawings illustrating a golf simulating apparatus and method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, the description of the present invention Of course, various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope.
