Curling refers to a game in which a player slides a flat stone on the ice sheet into a broom (a non-shaped one) and puts it into the target to compete for scoring. The curling style of the team consists of two teams of four teams each. In the rectangular ice link with a length of 42.07m and a width of 4.27m called 'curling sheet' (hereinafter referred to as sheet), 'curling stone' (see FIG. 2) by sliding a round, flat stone called a curling stone (hereinafter referred to as a stone) into a target of an opponent team called a house 21.

The house is made up of four circles, the size of which is 1.83m, 1.22m, 0.61m and 0.15m from the outermost circle, respectively, and the innermost circle is called 'tee'. The shape of the stone is defined as a circle, and the handle for the pitch is bolted. The standard set by the International Curling Federation is less than 19.96 kg, the circumference is less than 91.44 cm, and the height including the handle is more than 11.43 cm.

Since the weight, circumference, height and sheet size of the stone are uniformly set according to the competition rules, the model can be modeled according to the regulations and applied to the simulation. Therefore, the simulation according to the present invention can increase the immersion degree by expressing it in a real manner.

The mobile terminal 10 may be a separate device or a module of the terminal. The mobile terminal 10 may have mobility and may be a mobile terminal such as a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), a user terminal (UT), a subscriber station (SS), a wireless device, A PDA (personal digital assistant), a wireless modem, a handheld device, and the like.

The mobile terminal 10 is a device supporting wireless communication and may be a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, a netbook, a PDA, a PMP, a PSP, A mobile device of various types such as an e-book reader, a navigation device, a smart camera, an electronic dictionary, an electronic clock, a game machine, and the like.

The mobile terminal 10 can execute various applications (application programs) based on an operating system (OS). The operating system is a system program for allowing software to use the hardware of the mobile terminal 10 and may include all mobile computer operating systems such as Android OS, iOS, Windows Mobile OS, Sea OS, Symbian OS, Blackberry OS, .

The mobile terminal 10 of the present invention can be installed and executed with an application for curling simulation.

Also, the mobile terminal 10 can display an application through the display unit 170 or provide a user interface (UI) to the user. The display unit 170 may include a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a plasma display panel (PDP), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, and the like.

In addition, a touch screen function may be included in the display unit 170 to process user input. The present invention is implemented as a tablet device based on a touch screen, and can be easily operated with a finger and is portable, thus being not significantly affected by space-time constraints.

Referring to FIG. 3, the tablet-based curling simulation of the present invention is shown and the position of the stone 30 on the sheet 20 can be viewed in multiple angles. Further, it is possible to input the condition of the stone 30 on the seat 20 and the condition through the interface by using the user's hand.

However, in another embodiment, a separate touch pad device for user input may be provided. The mobile terminal 10 may be formed separately from the display unit 170 and may include an input unit (not shown) such as a keypad, . ≪ / RTI >

The data collecting unit 110 collects data by measuring a physical change that occurs after the stone 30 is pitched on the sheet 20. In one embodiment, a moving time, a moving distance, and a moving direction of a stone can be measured using a camera. The camera may be installed externally to transmit an image to the data collection unit 110 or may be formed inside the mobile terminal 10 to provide the image to the data collection unit 110.

When the camera is installed outside the mobile terminal 10, it can be installed in various places of the curling stadium and installed in a vertical position to accurately observe the collision position of the stone (see FIG. 4).

The data collecting unit 110 may measure the moving time of the stone using the image, measure the moving distance of the stone, and calculate the speed of the curling. For example, you can capture an image taken at 60 frames per second to calculate the speed at which the stone passed.

The data collection unit 110 collects data through experiments to obtain a coefficient of friction between the sheet 20 and the stone 30 and a coefficient of restitution between the stones 30. Specifically, the physical change that occurs after striking the stone to the sheet to measure the friction force between the stone and the sheet is measured. The speed of the stone is determined by the momentum of the stone and the coefficient of friction between the stone and the sheet. The range of the friction coefficient obtained after measuring this process can be applied to the simulation.

In curling, sweeping uses a non-shaped brush to wipe the ice surface to adjust the course and speed of the stone so that it stops as close as possible to the target location. Therefore, the coefficient of friction of the seat can be changed by sweeping within the applied coefficient of friction.

On the other hand, the stone has the momentum at which the velocity is generated, and the momentum of the stone before the collision is proportional to the mass and velocity of the stone. When one of the stones hits another stopped stone, the speed of the first stone is reduced and the second stone continues to move back against the speed of the first stone. To simulate such a process, the coefficient of restitution can be measured and applied. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 4, a camera can be vertically installed with respect to a seat to obtain collision images of stones.

The data acquired by the data collection unit 110 is provided to the control unit 150. FIG. Also, the mobile terminal 10 may further include a database 120 to store data collected by the data collection unit 110.
