BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of performing a golf distance match using a communication network,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf course ranking information providing method and system, and more particularly, to a golf course distance measuring system which measures a distance of a golf course fairly and compares the distance with other people, Ranking information providing method and system.

For golfers, the ability to battle is one of the most desirable abilities in golf. Numerous golfers have developed a wide variety of golf clubs and golf balls to meet these needs.

However, it is very difficult for golfers to grasp their distance ability by measuring the distance using only their pure physical ability, except for the variables of equipment (golf club and golf ball). In general, golf tournaments are conducted using various golf clubs and golf balls according to the participants' preferences. Golf clubs and golf balls used are generally not subjected to official certification procedures. Even if you are accredited, this only limits the coefficient of restitution or the length of the batting surface. For official specifications of golf equipment, refer to the USGA ( www.USGA.org ) or the British Royal Golf Association (R & A).

In this way, it is almost impossible to accurately grasp the distance performance of each golfer when golfers and golf balls actually used between golfers are different from each other.

In addition, since the golf competition is generally conducted outdoors, it is very difficult to perform a fair and objective distance measurement due to the influence of the external environment, that is, wind, rain, and the like. In addition, there is a limit to the number of people participating in the off-line distance competition, so that they can only ascertain their ranking within a very small number of participants.

Accordingly, the present invention solves the unfair distance measurement problem due to the difference between the golf ball and the golf ball in the existing golf competition, as described above, so that the distance of the participants can be compared with each other in an objective and reliable manner, And a golf course ranking information providing method and system.

A method of providing golf distance ranking information according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes receiving, through a communication network, batting result information of a golf distance match participant in a main server storing a distance distance database, Calculating a ranking of the mobile terminal, and transmitting rank information indicating the calculated ranking from the main server through the communication network.

A golf distance ranking information providing system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a main server for storing a distance distance database, wherein the main server receives the hit result information of the golf distance match participant, And transmits rank information indicating the calculated rank through the communication network.

The method and system for providing golf distance ranking information according to the present disclosure enable a player to measure a distance with only a physical striking ability of a golfer by minimizing a parameter caused by an external environment in a golf stroke distance measurement, And real-time comparison and calculation so that you can know your own and reliable golf distance ranking.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should not be understood that the following description and the accompanying drawings are intended to limit the scope of the invention.

1 is a schematic view for explaining a golf distance ranking information providing method according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, in order to participate in a golf distance match, a participant first registers in the registration counter 14. At this time, the ID for identifying and identifying the user is registered, and the gender (male or female) is selected. When registering, you can pay the appropriate amount of participation fee. The participant thus registered is called participant A (11).

After the participation registration, the participant A (11) moves to the designated test booth (15). The test booth 15 may be in any place, but is preferably located indoors. The participant A (11) who has moved to the test booth goes to a distance match using the golf club (12) and the golf ball (13).

The golf clubs 12 have the same specifications. The golf ball 13 may also be a golf ball having the same standard. Will be described in detail below with reference to the same specification. The golf club 12 and the golf ball 13 are preferably provided in advance in the test booth 15.

The test booth 15 includes all places where the participant performs the golf distance match of the present invention, which may be installed in various regions or countries in addition to the booth where the participant is registered.

1, participant A 11 is only shown as being in the test booth 15, but other participants (not shown) may have played in other test booths (not shown) . These test booths may be located in specific areas, or may be distributed throughout the country or around the world.

1, the golf ball 13 is automatically loaded on the tee 17a via the golf ball loader 17b in order for the participant A 11 to hit the golf ball. do. The height of the tee is adjustable according to the participant's taste. The participant (11) strikes the golf ball (13) loaded with the golf club (12). Striking opportunities are limited to a certain number of times. For example, it is preferred that the batting opportunity at one challenge is given three or five times, but other limits may be used.

The golf ball struck by the participant 11 transmits information on the speed, direction, angle and the like measured by the sensors (not shown) in the golf simulator 17c installed in advance to the control unit 18. Thereafter, the batting result information 19a is transmitted to the main server 20. The control unit 18, which has received information about the velocity, direction, angle, etc. of the hit golf ball, displays the corresponding virtual golf trajectory and the distance on the screen 16. Here, the golf simulator 17c can acquire information about the speed, direction, angle, and the like of the hit golf ball and measure the distance. Thus, the golf simulator 17c may be, for example, Can be used.

After the golf ball is hit, if it is out of a certain angle, it is treated as OB (Out of Bound), and the distance at this time is not treated as effective distance. That is, only the hit distance at which OB does not occur is recognized as effective distance. Assuming that three striking opportunities are given, the longest distance that OB does not occur is the final striking distance of the participant.

This final striking distance is determined by the distance comparison operation in the control section 18. [ The final batting distance information of the participant is transmitted through the communication network to the main server 20 connected to the control unit 18. [ The communication network may be a storage area network (SAN), a local area network (LAN), an intranet, the Internet, a wide area network (WAN), a peer-to-peer network, a wireless network, an arbitrated loop network But are not limited to these examples.

The final batting distance of the participant A 11 transmitted to the main server 20 in this way is compared with the batting distance of a large number of participants already existing in the main server 20 by the main server 20.

That is, the main server 20 stores batting result information, that is, a distance range database (not shown), which is a batting result performed by other participants (not shown) other than the participant A 11. The main server 20 calculates the rank of the batting result of the participant A 11 in the distance database. Then, the main server 20 transmits ranking information 19b indicating the rank calculated through the communication network. For example, the ranking information 18b may be transmitted via the communication network to the control unit 10 of the striking booth where the participant A 11 is struck. The communication network may be a storage area network (SAN), a local area network (LAN), an intranet, the Internet, a wide area network (WAN), a peer-to-peer network, a wireless network, an arbitrated loop network But are not limited to these examples.

The distance range information includes the hit result information of the participant, and the hit result information of the participant is displayed on the basis of the golf ball used by the participant A (11) for batting, the golf club having the same standard as the golf ball, Information indicating the result.

As described above, it is preferable that the batting result information of the participant included in the flying distance database is generated using the golf simulator 17c having the same standard, the golf ball, and the same measurement standard.

Here, golf clubs having the same standard are golf clubs having at least a head striking surface width of about 114.3 mm to 127 mm, a volume of about 414 cc to about 460 cc, a batting surface restoring coefficient of about 0.74 to about 0.83, and a club length of about 33.6 inches to about 48 inches desirable. Also, it is preferable that golf balls having the same size have a weight of approximately 41.33 g to 45.93 g and a diameter of approximately 42.67 mm to 46.94 mm.

 As described above, it is preferable that the golf simulator 17c used for the measurement of the distance is the same golf simulator as the distance measurement standard through the information collection of the velocity, direction, and angle of the hit golf ball. More preferably, the same model golf simulator of the same manufacturer can be used.

As described above, the main server 20 compares the ranking of the participant A 11 by the comparison. The calculated ranking is again transmitted by the main server 20 to the control unit 18 in the test booth in which the participant A 11 is present.

The control unit 18 then displays on the screen 16 the batting distance of participant A 11 and the rank in the database, i.e. the ranking of the batting distance of participant A 11 among all existing participants, So that it can be seen. The participant A (11) finally confirms his / her golf stroke distance and corresponding distance rank on the screen (16). The thus confirmed ranking may be printed by the request of the participant A 11 and the result thereof may be provided. Through this golf distance match method, the participant can confirm their golf distance ranking in real time.
