In addition, the simulation context of the screen golf may be the one received from the server 100 by the PC 150 for screen golf. That is, the subject for generating the simulation context of the screen golf is not limited to any one of the server 100 and the screen golf PC 150.

The screen golf PC 150 may receive the information of the button input by the player from the smart keypad 200, reflect the information of the received button in the simulation context, or may transmit the information of the button to the server 100 . Here, the button may mean a lower button.

Finally, the smart keypad 200 may output a list of buttons including one or more buttons on the variable button output, and may receive input from the player for the buttons. The information of the button input from the player can be transmitted to the screen golf PC 150.

The smart keypad 200 can identify the keypad setting mode according to the simulation context of the screen golf, and display the button list corresponding to the keypad setting mode on the variable button output unit. At this time, the smart keypad 200 identifies the keypad setting mode based on the simulation context received from the PC 150 for screen golf, receives the keypad setting mode information from the PC 150 for screen golf, and identifies the keypad setting mode can do.

At this time, the keypad setting mode may correspond to a combination of smart keypad buttons suitable for a particular simulation context. For example, the keypad set mode may correspond to a combination of buttons most commonly used in a particular simulation context.

At this time, the keypad setting mode may be determined in consideration of not only the simulation context but also the play characteristics of individual users. For example, a user who frequently uses direction switching at the time of putting may be provided with a keypad setting mode in which a direction switching button is preferentially included, and a user who frequently uses a drawing display for identifying the inclination at the time of putting may be provided with a grid display button This preferentially included keypad setting mode may be provided.

2, the screen golf smart keypad 200 includes a keypad control unit 210, a variable button output unit 220, and an input unit 230. As shown in FIG.

First, the keypad control unit 210 identifies a keypad setting mode according to a simulation context corresponding to a screen golf simulation. The keypad control unit 210 may identify the keypad setting mode received from the screen golf PC 150 or may identify the direct keypad setting mode based on the simulation context.

Then, the keypad control unit 210 selects a button list according to the identified keypad setting mode. At this time, the selected button list includes one or more buttons and means a button list to be displayed on the variable button output unit 220, which will be described later.

Next, the variable button output unit 220 outputs a button list selected from the keypad control unit 210. [ At this time, the variable button output unit 220 may variably output new buttons corresponding to the selected button list, irrespective of which button list has been output previously.

The variable button output unit 220 may include a plurality of button regions for outputting a plurality of buttons, and may output a button list using a portion or all of the plurality of button regions.

For example, when the variable button output unit 220 includes seven button areas, the variable button output unit 220 may output the selected button list to only one button area, You can print the list.

In this case, when the button list is output using a number of button regions smaller than the number of button regions provided in the variable button output unit 220, the variable button output unit 220 outputs a button list A value indicating that the corresponding button area is not used or a value indicating that the corresponding button area is a meaningless button area is output so that the player can intuitively know that the button area is not used.

When the variable button output unit 220 has seven button regions and the keypad control unit 210 selects a button list including more than seven buttons, the variable button output unit 220 outputs a swipe swipe function to display subsequent buttons that are not displayed. In addition, the variable button output unit 220 defines a portion of the button area as a button for receiving an input for displaying previous or next buttons, and when receiving an input for the button from the player, Button.

The variable button output unit 220 may display a lower button list including one or more lower buttons under the control of the keypad control unit 210.

As shown in FIG. 3, the smart keypad 200 for screen golf may include a plurality of button areas 225. Here, the button regions 225 may be included in the variable button output unit 220, and the button regions 225 may variably output a button corresponding to the simulation context of the screen golf under the control of the keypad control unit 210 .

At this time, the type of the button output by the button areas 225 may be any one of a direction adjusting button, a height adjusting button, a general button, and a toggle button. According to the control of the keypad controller 210, Can also vary depending on the simulation context.

In the case where the input unit 230 of the smart keypad 200 is realized to be identified as the same module as the variable button output unit 220, the button areas 225 perform functions of the input unit 230, Button. ≪ / RTI >

Hereinafter, a method of operating a smart keypad for screen golf according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, the smart keypad 200 identifies a keypad setting mode according to the simulation context of the screen golf (S410).

The smart keypad 200 may receive the simulation context from the PC 150 for screen golf to identify the keypad set mode or identify the keypad set mode received from the PC 150 for screen golf. Here, the keypad setting mode can be set differently depending on whether the simulation context is a tee shot situation, a ground shot situation, and a putting situation.

The smart keypad 200 selects a button list according to the keypad setting mode (S420).

The smart keypad 200 selects a button list corresponding to the keypad setting mode identified in step S410. At this time, the button list selected by the smart keypad 200 may include one or more buttons.

If the keypad setting mode is a mode corresponding to the tee shot situation, the smart keypad 200 can select a button list corresponding to the tee shot situation. If the mode corresponds to the ground shot situation, the smart keypad 200 selects the button list corresponding to the ground shot situation, and if the mode corresponds to the putting situation, the smart button 200 can select the button list corresponding to the putting situation.

For convenience of explanation, the button list corresponding to the tee shot situation, the ground shot situation, and the putting situation will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig. 17 which will be described later.

Next, the smart keypad 200 displays the button list on the variable button output unit (S430).

The smart keypad 200 displays a button list including one or more buttons on the variable button output unit. At this time, the smart keypad 200 may map one or more buttons included in the button list from the button area provided on the left side of the variable button output unit, and output the button list.

If the number of the buttons included in the button list is smaller than the number of the button areas provided in the variable button output unit, the smart keypad 200 distinguishes the button areas to which the buttons of the button list are mapped from the button areas to which the buttons are not mapped .

For example, the smart keypad 200 may output a specific symbol or text so that the player can know that the button is not used, or the button area is not used It is possible.

In addition, the smart keypad 200 receives an input to the button (S440).

The smart keypad 200 receives input from any one of the one or more buttons included in the button list from the player. At this time, the smart keypad 200 can receive an input for a button from a player in a manner such as touching, clicking, pressing of a physical button, etc., and the method for receiving an input to the button from the player is not limited thereto.

In addition, the smart keypad 200 may sense the input duration when receiving input from the player for the button. The smart keypad 200 may control the operation of the smart keypad 200 based on at least one of the information of the input button and the sensed input duration.

Next, the smart keypad 200 determines whether there is a lower button list corresponding to the input button (S450).

The smart keypad 200 determines whether there is a lower button list corresponding to the button input from the player. The smart keypad 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention determines whether a lower button corresponding to an input button is present and displays a lower button list on the variable button output unit or a function corresponding to the input button May be performed to determine whether to control the simulation context.

If there is no lower button list corresponding to the input button, the smart keypad 200 may perform step S470 described later.

When there is no lower button list, the smart keypad 200 performs the function of the input button regardless of the input duration, and controls the simulation context to correspond to the input button.

On the other hand, if there is a lower button list, the smart keypad 200 determines whether the input duration of the input to the button is equal to or greater than the threshold time (S460).

If the player inputs a button for a longer time than the threshold time, the smart keypad 200 displays a lower button list corresponding to the input button on the variable button output unit do.

For example, assuming that the smart keypad 200 displays a list of buttons including a tee height change button, an amming setting button, a club change button mulligan setting button, and a tee shot other function button on the variable button output unit in a tee shot situation do. At this time, if the player touches the club change button in the button list displayed on the variable button output section for 3 seconds, the smart keypad 200 can determine whether a lower button list of the club change button exists through step S450 .

If there is a lower button list of the club change button, the smart keypad 200 may perform step S460 to determine whether the input duration is longer than the threshold time. When the critical time is 2 seconds and the player touches the player for 3 seconds to input the club change button, the smart keypad 200 may determine that the input duration is equal to or longer than the threshold time.

For convenience of explanation, the smart keypad 200 determines whether there is a lower button list through step S450. In step S460, the smart keypad 200 compares the input duration of the button with the threshold time. However, , The smart keypad 200 may compare the input duration of the button with the threshold time and then perform a step of determining whether a sub-button list corresponding to the button is present if the input duration exceeds the threshold time .

If the input duration is less than the threshold time or there is no lower button list corresponding to the input button, the smart keypad 200 controls the simulation context to correspond to the input button (S470).

For example, when the player inputs a button in which the sub-button list does not exist, the smart keypad 200 controls the simulation context to correspond to the function of the input button. Further, when the player inputs the club change button in which the lower button list is present for a time equal to or shorter than the threshold time, the smart keypad 200 can control the simulation context so as to correspond to the inputted club change button.

At this time, the smart keypad 200 may directly control the simulation context, or may transmit the information of the input button to at least one of the PC 150 for the screen golf and the server 100 to control the simulation context. And the smart keypad 200 controlling the simulation context may mean controlling one or more devices included in the screen golf simulation system.

On the other hand, if there is a lower button list corresponding to the input button, and the input duration is longer than the threshold time, the smart keypad 200 displays the lower button list on the variable button output unit (S480).

For example, if the input of the club change button is received for 3 seconds in step S440, the smart keypad 200 displays a lower button list corresponding to the club change button on the variable button output unit.

The smart keypad 200 receives input from the player for the lower button (S490).

For example, in step S480, the smart keypad 200 displays a sub-menu including at least one of a short club button, a long club button, a current club button, a club change confirmation button, It is assumed that the button list is displayed. At this time, the smart keypad 200 may receive an input for any one of the lower buttons from the player.

Finally, the smart keypad 200 controls the simulation context to correspond to the input lower button (S500).

At this time, the smart keypad 200 controls the simulation context by transmitting the input information of the lower button to the screen golf PC 150, or controls the simulation context so that the smart keypad 200 corresponds to the information of the lower button directly input Can be controlled.

At this time, the simulation context includes a screen golf progress scenario according to the screen golf competition rules, current golf progress situation information, player information, hitting environment, player's hitting information, information sensed from the sensor, And sound information output to the speaker.

When the simulation context is controlled to correspond to the button or the lower button in step S470 or step S500, the smart keypad 200 may control at least one information included in the simulation context.

For example, if the input for the club change button is received in step S440, and the input for the long club button is received in step S490, the smart keypad 200 may change the club to a club longer than the current club, Can be controlled. Through the simulation context control, the smart keypad 200 or the screen golf simulator screen can display expected results at the time of club change.

In addition, in a case where an input to the tee height changing button corresponding to the tee height is received in step S440, the smart keypad 200 can control the height of the tee by controlling the simulation context so as to increase the tee height.

That is, controlling the simulation context so that the smart keypad 200 corresponds to the input button may mean controlling at least one of the screen golf simulator and the smart keypad 200 to perform a function corresponding to the button .

Also, the smart keypad 200 may transmit information of the input button to the PC 150 for screen golf to allow the PC 150 or the server 100 for screen golf to control the simulation context.

For convenience of explanation, when the input of the lower button is received from the player in step S490, the simulation context is controlled so as to correspond to the input lower button by performing step S500. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the smart keypad 200 may determine at least one of whether a second lower button list for the lower button input in step S490 is present and whether the input duration for the lower button is longer than the threshold time can do. The second lower button list may be displayed on the variable button output unit or the simulation context may be controlled to correspond to the lower button input according to the determination result.

At this time, the process of determining whether or not the smart keypad 200 has the second lower button list for the lower button may be substantially the same as the step S450 of FIG. 4, and the input duration and the threshold time for the lower button The comparing process may be substantially the same as the process of step S460, so that redundant description is omitted.

Hereinafter, the types of buttons displayed on the variable output unit 220 of the smart keypad 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

5 is an exemplary view showing an initial mode variable button output unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The initial mode of the smart keypad 200 may refer to a mode set after the power of the smart keypad 200 is turned on and before the beginning of the round. In the initial mode, the smart keypad 200 can select a button list including a tee height change button in step S420 of FIG. The smart keypad 200 may display the tee height change button on the variable button output unit through step S430 of FIG.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the smart keypad 200 can display the tee height changing button by dividing the tee height changing button into a tee height up button 510 and a tee down button 520 and outputting them to the variable button output unit.

For convenience of explanation, it has been described that the smart keypad 200 divides the tee height change button into the tee up button 510 and the tee down button 520 and displays them in the respective button areas.
