The distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a distance measuring unit 110. [ The distance measuring unit 110 can measure the shortest distance from the golf field to a designated measuring position.

First, when the user targets a specific object in the golf field, the distance measuring unit 110 can set the position of the specific object designated by the user as a measurement position.

For example, when the user touches the pin of the green, the distance measuring unit 110 can set the position of the pin to the measuring position. Or, for example, if the user has aimed at a specific point, such as a tree on a golf field, the distance measuring unit 110 may set a specific point to the measurement position.

The distance measurement unit 110 can measure the shortest distance on a straight line to the set measurement position.

Alternatively, for example, when the user sets the mode to be drawn or recognizes that the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is drawn, the setup information input unit 130 may request to aim the green hole cup.

The setup information input unit 130 may request input of setup information, which is otherwise required in the recommended distance calculation process, according to the set mode.

For example, in the green mode, the setup information input unit 130 may request the user to input the height of the user, and may set the height of the inputted user as the setup information.

Or, for example, in the normal mode, the setup information input unit 130 may request the user to input the distance of the reference club, that is, the distance of the 7th iron among the golf clubs, and may set the inputted distance as the setup information .

Meanwhile, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a horizontal distance calculation unit 140. [ The horizontal distance calculation unit 140 can calculate the horizontal distance on the horizontal plane from the distance recommendation apparatus 10 to the measurement position based on the shortest distance and the tilt angle.

That is, the horizontal distance calculation unit 140 can calculate the horizontal distance according to the following equation.

[Equation 1]

Figure 112016049808314-pat00001

For example, when the shortest distance measured from the distance measuring unit 110 to the pin of the green in the fairway is 151.33 m and the inclination angle is -7.60 °, the horizontal distance calculating unit 140 calculates the cosine trigonometric function value To 150.3m, which is the horizontal distance to the pin of the green, multiplied by the shortest distance of 151.33m.

The distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a vertical distance calculation unit 150. The vertical distance calculation unit 150 may calculate the vertical distance from the measurement position.

According to one embodiment, when the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is green or the selected mode is green, the vertical distance calculation unit 150 calculates the vertical distance of the user input through the setup information input unit 130, And the inclination angle, the vertical distance from the user's foot to the hole cup in the green can be calculated according to the following equation.

(A: vertical distance from the land surface to the distance recommendation apparatus 10)

In this case, the vertical distance calculator 150 may set the value obtained by subtracting 13.00 cm from the setup information according to the embodiment to obtain the A value.

Alternatively, the vertical distance calculation unit 150 may request the setup information input unit 130 to input the height of the user's eyes, not the user's height, as setup information, and input the setup information through the setup information input unit 130 Can be set to the A value.

According to another embodiment, when the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is an area other than the green of the golf field, or the selected mode is the normal mode, the vertical distance calculation unit 150 calculates the vertical distance and the inclination angle based on the shortest distance and the inclination angle, Can be calculated.

That is, the vertical distance calculation unit 150 can calculate the vertical distance from the horizontal recommendation apparatus 10 to the green pin on the horizontal plane using the following equation.

&Quot; (3) "

Figure 112016049808314-pat00003

For example, when the slope angle to the pin of the green is -7.60 and the shortest distance is 151.33 m, the vertical distance calculation unit 150 can calculate -20.01 m, which is a vertical distance, according to Equation (3).

Meanwhile, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a club information management unit 160. The club information management unit 160 may calculate the distance to each club included in the golf club and store the matching angle for each club.

For this purpose, the club information management unit 160 can receive the distance of the user to one of the golf clubs through the setup information input unit 130.

For example, the club information management unit 160 may receive the user's distance to the 7th iron, which is a standard club among the golf clubs, through the setup information input unit 130. [

Thereafter, the club information management unit 160 may calculate the distance to the remaining clubs based on the inputted distance.

For example, the club information management unit 160 can calculate the distance to the remaining clubs by adjusting the distance in units of 10.00 meters based on the distance to the 7th iron, and calculate the distance as shown in Table 1 below.

flatiron 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 PW Distance 190 180 170 160 150 140 130 120

The club information management unit 160 may match the landing angle of each club of the golf club as shown in Table 2.

flatiron 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 PW Landing angle 43 45 41 39 37 35 33 31

The landing angle is the angle at which the golf ball hit by the club falls on the field.

The information about the landing angle may be preset or the club information management unit 160 may collect landing angle information for the user's club or may be input from the user through the setup information input unit 130. [

Meanwhile, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an additional distance calculation unit 170. The additional distance calculation unit 170 can select any one of the golf clubs based on the shortest distance and the vertical distance and calculate an additional distance based on the landing angle and the vertical distance matched to the selected club.

At this time, the additional distance is the distance of the golf ball which changes due to the height difference between the position of the batting seat and the landing point.

In other words, when there is a height difference (vertical distance) between the hit position of the golf ball (the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10) and the landing position (measured position) of the golf ball, The distance on the horizontal plane of the golf ball may be increased or decreased so that the distance by which the user must move the golf ball according to the vertical distance may be longer or shorter than the horizontal distance.

Accordingly, in order to calculate the additional distance, the additional distance calculation unit 170 may calculate the landing angle of the golf ball landing at the measurement position preferentially.

To this end, the additional distance calculation unit 170 compares the distance of each club based on the length (horizontal distance + vertical distance) of the parabolic path to which the golf ball will move, thereby determining the landing angle matched to the selected club, Can be determined by the landing angle.

At this time, the additional distance calculation unit 170 may calculate the landing angle as follows using the information on the golf club managed as shown in Table 3 in the club information management unit 160.

flatiron 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 PW Distance 190 180 170 160 150 140 130 120 Landing angle 43 45 41 39 37 35 33 31

For example, the additional distance calculation unit 170 can select the 9th club compared to the distance of each club of Table 3 based on the sum of the horizontal distance of 150.00m and the vertical distance of -20.01m, which is 129.99m, It is possible to determine the landing angle, which is the landing angle matched to the club No. 33.00, as the landing angle at the measurement position.

Then, the additional distance calculation unit 170 calculates the distance traveled on the horizontal plane of the golf ball according to the height difference between the distance recommendation apparatus 10 and the measurement position on the basis of the determined landing angle and vertical distance The additional distance can be calculated by calculation.

&Quot; (4) "

Figure 112016049808314-pat00004

For example, the additional distance calculation unit 170 may calculate an additional distance of -12.99 m by using the trigonometric function value for the determined landing angle of 33.00 ° and the vertical distance -20.01 m.

Meanwhile, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a recommendation distance calculation unit 180. The recommended distance calculation unit 180 can calculate the recommended distance, which is the distance to the measurement position, based on the horizontal distance.

According to one embodiment, when the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is green or the selected mode is green, the recommended distance calculation unit 180 calculates the recommended distance based on the height of the green and the horizontal distance according to the following equation You can calculate the recommended distance from the green.

&Quot; (5) "

Figure 112016049808314-pat00005

For example, when the height difference from the hole of the green is -1.52 m and the horizontal distance is 21.80 m, the recommended distance calculation unit 180 may calculate the recommended distance of 6.60 m.

According to another embodiment, when the position of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is an area other than the green drawn in the golf field or the selected mode is the normal mode, the recommended distance calculation unit 180 calculates the recommended distance Based on the horizontal distance and the horizontal distance, it is possible to calculate the recommended distance in the golf field other than the green area according to the following formula.

&Quot; (6) "

Figure 112016049808314-pat00006

For example, the recommended distance calculation unit 180 may calculate a recommended distance of 137.01 m by adding an additional distance of -12.99 m to the horizontal distance of 150.00 m from the fairway to the pin.

Meanwhile, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a club recommendation unit 190. The club recommendation unit 190 may recommend any one of the golf clubs.

According to one embodiment, the club recommendation unit 190 may select a club having a distance within a predetermined range based on the recommended distance calculated by the recommended distance calculation unit 180, and recommend the user to the user.

For example, if the recommended distance is 137.01 m, the club recommendation unit 190 may recommend a 9-iron club having a distance of 137.01 m or less.

According to another embodiment, the club recommendation unit 190 may recommend the selected club by determining the landing angle in the additional distance calculation unit 170. [

2 to 3 are flowcharts for explaining a distance recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The distance recommendation method according to the embodiment shown in Figs. 2 to 3 includes the steps of time-series processing in the distance recommendation apparatus 10 shown in Fig. Therefore, even if omitted from the following description, the above description of the distance recommendation apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be applied to the distance recommendation method according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 to FIG.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2, a distance recommendation method for calculating the recommended distance from the green to the hole cup is set in a mode in which the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is in the green or in a mode drawn by the user.

First, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can request a mode setting from the user or identify the location in order to determine the distance recommendation method (S2001).

The distance recommendation apparatus 10 can measure the shortest distance to the measurement position aimed by the user (S2002).

For example, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 may request the user to align the hole cup in the green, and may set the position of the aimed hole cup to the measurement position.

At this time, according to the embodiment, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can verify whether the hole cup is aligned.

For example, the distance recommending apparatus 10 may measure the distance to the pin of the green and determine that the distance is equal to the horizontal distance to the hole cup calculated in step S2004 described later.

Then, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can measure the inclination angle formed by the shortest distance to the hole cup and the horizontal line at the measurement position (S2003).

For example, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 may measure the inclination angle by sensing the degree of inclination as the user uses the gyro sensor to aim at the measurement position.

Thereafter, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can calculate the horizontal distance on the horizontal plane up to the measurement position based on the shortest distance and the tilt angle (S2004).

That is, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can mathematically calculate the horizontal distance on the horizontal plane from the position of the user to the hole cup in the green using the trigonometric function value and the shortest distance of the tilt angle.

For example, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can obtain a horizontal distance of 9.03 m from the position of the user in the green to the hole cup by using the cosine trigonometric function value of 7.00 ° and the shortest distance of 9.10 m.

Thereafter, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can calculate the vertical distance to the measurement position (S2005).

For this purpose, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can input the height of the user as setup information from the user.

At this time, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can correct the setup information to the height from the landmark by the actual distance recommendation apparatus 10, for example, by subtracting 13.00 cm from the input user's height .

Alternatively, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 may receive the height from the landmark to the eye as the setup information from the user and not perform the correction.

Then, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can calculate the vertical distance, which is a height difference from the hole cup in the green according to the inclination of the green, based on the inclination angle, the shortest distance, and the setup information.

4, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 includes setup information 401, a shortest distance 402 and an inclination angle 403 to calculate a vertical distance 400 from the surface of the green on which the user is located to the hole cup Can be calculated using Equation (2) described above.

Then, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can calculate a recommended distance from the user's position on the green to the hole cup based on the vertical distance and the horizontal distance (S2006).

Referring to FIG. 4, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 considers the height up to the hole cup according to the above-described equation (5) using the vertical distance 400 calculated in step S2006 and the horizontal distance 404 calculated in step S2004 It is possible to calculate the recommended distance.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 3, a distance recommendation method for calculating a recommended distance at a position other than the green of the golf field, whether the distance recommendation apparatus 10 is located at a position other than the green of the golf field or set to the normal mode by the user Explain.

First, the distance recommendation apparatus 10 can request a mode setting from the user or identify a position to determine a distance recommendation method (S3001).
