Simulation devices capable of enjoying sports games without using the video and computer simulation techniques have been developed, and virtual indoor sports events centered on golf, baseball, and the like are widely spreading. For example, in the case of a screen golf which is performed indoors, since a video image of a golf course is displayed through a screen, time and cost are saved compared to playing in an outdoor field, So it is very popular with busy modern people who are hard to play outdoor golf because of time and economical reasons.

However, as the number of people using screen golf games increases and the expectations of users increase, it is required that the screen golf be changed into an increasingly realistic environment. For example, in the course of screen golf, when the golf ball is positioned on the green, the user performs the putting, and the user expects the putting in the screen golf to become closer to reality. In actual golf, the user estimates the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup, and performs the putting considering the topography around the green ball and the hole cup. In the case of screen golf, the terrain changes such as the change of the height between the virtual golf ball and the hole cup occurs. However, by viewing the 2D flat screen, the user directly recognizes the change of the topography on the green, It is very difficult to do. Users who use screen golf frequently can make a putt based on their long experience, but depending on experience, they have a different putting feeling than putting in the actual field. As a result, there is a problem in that the difference between the screen golf and the actual golf is increased, and the interest of the screen golf is lost.

The input unit 21 and the like in FIG. 1 correspond to this. The sensing result of the sensing unit 110 and the input result of the input unit 120 are transmitted to the controller 130. The control unit 130 operates to simulate and calculate the trajectory of the virtual golf ball in the virtual golf course based on the sensing result of the sensing unit 110 and to display it to the user through the display unit 140. [ For example, when the user inputs a golf course to be played by the user, the control unit 130 displays the virtual golf course selected by the user through the display unit 140, Lt; / RTI > In order to operate the control unit 130 as described above, foreground and topographic data of a virtual golf course, predetermined data for calculation of a trajectory simulation, and the like may be required. For this purpose, a predetermined database 150 is provided. The database 150 may be provided separately from the control unit 130 or may be provided in the control unit 130 or may be stored in a server providing screen golf.

Fig.

Fig. 3 is a view showing an example of guiding the putting direction in the screen of Fig. 1;

Referring to FIG. 3, a virtual golf ball (VB) and a hole cup (HC) are arranged on a green (G) of a virtual golf course in a putting state. In FIG. 3, the arrangement situation in which the hole cup HC is positioned on the front face of the virtual golf ball VB is shown. In this arrangement situation, when the actual golf ball corresponding to the virtual golf ball VB is simply put in front, the possibility of successful putting is not high. 3, if the topography of the green G is not smooth, and if the left side is high and the right side is a low inclination, the possibility of the virtual golf ball rolling toward the right side with respect to the hole cup HC Is high. Thus, in the putting situation, there is a need to put in consideration of the topography of the green (G) in the virtual golf course. In actual golf, the user directly measures the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup, recognizes the inclination around the green ball and the hole cup, and appropriately performs putting. However, in a virtual screen golf, a virtual golf course is displayed in two dimensions Therefore, it is difficult to grasp and put the terrain of the green (G) as it is actually.

Users who use screen golf frequently can get the know-how to select the putting direction in consideration of the topography on the virtual golf course based on their long experience and perform the putting. However, in reality, high portential. Due to the difference between the actual golf and the screen golf, even a user who gives a good result in the actual field may not be good at the screen golf, and the user may lose interest in the screen golf.

With this in mind, the present invention provides the user with advice on putting. The advice can be directly displayed on the green (G) of the screen as putting guide (PG) information indicating the appropriate putting direction. Specifically, according to the present embodiment, the putting guide PG can be represented by a guide arrow indicating the putting direction. For example, if the green G is a tilted terrain with a high left side and a low right side, it is preferable that the virtual golf ball VB be put in a direction tilted to the left rather than to the front toward the hole cup HC. In this situation, the putting guide unit 160 generates the putting guide information on how much the putting to the left is advantageous to the left, and the guide arrow according to the putting guide information as shown in Fig. PG) on the green (G). Here, the putting guide information may be provided only by an arrow indicating the putting guide (PG), and it may be difficult for the user to recognize the correct angle by the arrow alone. Therefore, Or may be provided as a voice message through a separate voice processing unit. On the other hand, depending on the user, it may be desired to put the putting guide information on his / her own judgment without the putting guide information, so that whether to provide the putting guide information can be determined according to the user's selection.

Fig. 4 is a view showing another example of guiding the putting direction in the screen of Fig. 1. Fig.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, a horizontal indicator O1 and a vertical indicator O2 are displayed on the green G so that the user can more easily grasp the terrain of the green (G). Specifically, a plurality of indicators O1 and O2 are arranged in a predetermined area between the hole cup HC and the virtual golf ball VB, and each of the indicators O1 and O2 has a predetermined section at a predetermined speed Lt; / RTI > In the case of the horizontal indicator O1, a plurality of horizontal indicators O1 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and the horizontal indicator O1 of each row moves in the horizontal direction in the corresponding row. In the case of the vertical indicator O2, a plurality of vertical indicators O2 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction, and the vertical indicator O2 of each column moves in the vertical direction in the corresponding column. The indicators O1 and O2 can be changed in color according to the elevation of the terrain at the moved location and the moving speed of each indicator O1 and O2 can be configured to be changed according to the slope of the green G have. Through the color change and the moving speed of the indicators O1 and O2, the user can easily grasp the elevation and the inclination in the predetermined area of the green (G). In addition to displaying the indicators O1 and O2 in this manner, the putting guide PG is provided as a color arrow in this embodiment. The arrows may be expressed in monochrome colors. Alternatively, the arrows can be represented by a plurality of colors, in which case the color can be configured to change in accordance with the height of the terrain in the area where the putting guide (PG) arrows are located. 4, the 'a' portion of the putting guide PG is represented by the same color as the 'A' of the transverse indicator O1, and the 'b' portion of the putting guide PG is represented by the Can be expressed in the same color as 'B'. By applying the indicators O1 and O2 and the putting guide PG which change the color in accordance with the change of the terrain of the green G in this way, the user can more clearly recognize the terrain of the green G, It is possible to accurately put on the basis of the guide PG.

As in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, whether or not the putting guide PG is provided can be determined according to the user's selection, and a text message displayed on the screen up to a specific angle of the putting direction Or a voice message may be provided by the voice processing unit.

Figs. 5A to 5D are diagrams showing various examples for guiding the putting direction and the putting intensity in the screen of Fig. 1. Fig.

In the previous example, only information about the direction of the putting was provided, but the strength as well as the orientation is important for correct putting. Thus, in the present embodiment, putting guide information including putting strength together with the putting direction is provided.

Referring to FIG. 5A, a putting guide PG is displayed with a guide arrow, the putting direction is represented by the direction of the arrow and the putting strength is represented by the length of the arrow. In the case where the green G has a high left side and a low right side, a guide arrow with the putting direction facing left is displayed as a putting guide PG. In addition, if the height of the area where the virtual golf ball VB is located is high and the height of the area where the hole cup HC is located is low, the virtual golf ball VB moves down the slope, It is necessary to lower the putting strength in this case. In contrast, if the height of the area where the virtual golf ball VB is located is low and the height of the area where the golf ball HC is placed is high, the virtual golf ball VB will go up against the inclination, It is necessary to increase the putting strength in this case. The putting strength also depends on the distance between the virtual golf ball VB and the hole cup HC. In consideration of these variables, the putting guide unit 160 calculates an appropriate putting strength and expresses the appropriate putting strength by the appropriate length of the arrow. Since the length of the arrow is proportional to the putting strength, the putting guide PG in FIG. 5A shows a stronger putting strength than the reference putting guide PG0. Here, the reference putting guide PG0 is shown to compare two putting guides PG and PG0 with different arrow lengths, and it is preferable that only one putting guide PG be displayed . However, when only one putting guide PG is displayed, it may be difficult for the user to recognize the correct strength by only the length of the arrow. Therefore, the concrete numerical value of the putting strength may be provided on the screen as a text message, Message. ≪ / RTI > In expressing the numerical value of the putting strength, various methods can be applied, for example, "strength to strike N golf balls ". Specifically, a strength that hits one golf ball means a very weak strength, and a strength that strikes ten golf balls means a relatively strong strength as a force to move ten golf balls at a time .

On the other hand, the reference putting guide PG0 may be displayed together with the putting guide PG without omitting it. For example, if the reference putting guide PG0 is defined as "five strengths of the ball", the user can compare the reference putting guide PG0 with the reference putting guide PG0 by comparing the putting guide PG with the reference putting guide PG0 ), It is possible to more intuitively grasp the intensity required in the putting situation of the user.

Referring to FIG. 5B, in this embodiment, the putting guide PG is displayed with a guide arrow, the putting direction is represented by the direction of the arrow and the putting strength can be expressed by the thickness of the arrow. 5B, reference putting guide PG0 is shown to compare two putting guides PG, PG0 having different thicknesses of arrows, as in the case of FIG. 5A, Only the putting guide (PG) is displayed. However, when the reference putting guide (PG0) is omitted, it is difficult for the user to recognize the correct strength by only the thickness of the guide arrow. Therefore, a concrete numerical value of the putting strength may be provided on the screen as a text message or through a separate voice processing unit It can be provided as a voice message.

On the other hand, the reference putting guide PG0 may be displayed together with the putting guide PG without omitting it. For example, if the reference putting guide PG0 is defined as "five strengths of the ball" and the reference putting guide PG0 and the putting guide PG are displayed together, the user can set the putting guide PG to the reference putting guide PG0 It is possible to more intuitively grasp the strength required in the putting situation of the user from the difference in the thickness of the arrow with the reference putting guide PG0.

Referring to FIG. 5C, in this embodiment, the putting guide PG is displayed with a guide arrow, the putting direction being represented by the direction of the arrow. The putting strength can be expressed as the time required for the guide arrow to be displayed on the screen. For example, if the putting strength is strong, it displays the putting guide (PG) arrow slowly and if it is weak it displays the putting guide (PG) arrow quickly. Specifically, when the time required for displaying the putting guide PG1 in the case of weak intensity is T1, when displaying the putting guide PG2 in the case of strong strength, only a part of the entire arrow is displayed until time T1, So that all the arrows are displayed as a ratio when T2 is reached. For reference, it is also possible to display the putting guide (PG) arrow rapidly if the putting strength is strong, and slowly display the putting guide (PG) arrow when the putting strength is weak. In this embodiment, it may be difficult to recognize the accurate intensity only by the time at which the arrows are displayed. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a concrete numerical value of the putting strength to the screen as a text message or to be provided as a voice message through a separate voice processing unit.

Referring to FIG. 5D, in this embodiment, a putting guide PG is displayed as a golf ball for a guide, the putting direction being expressed in a direction in which the guide golf ball is displayed, and the putting strength being expressed by the number of guide golf balls. For example, if seven guide golf balls are used as the putting guide (PG), this means that the appropriate putting strength is the strength that strikes seven golf balls. According to the present embodiment, the user can directly and easily grasp a specific numerical value of the putting strength by checking the number of golf balls displayed on the screen. Since the accurate putting strength can be easily recognized as described above, it is not necessary to separately provide the putting strength as a text message or a voice message in the present embodiment. However, since it is difficult for the user to accurately grasp the number of small-size virtual golf balls displayed on the screen at the hit position, a text message or a voice message indicating a specific numerical value of the putting strength may be separately provided.

As shown in Figs. 5A to 5D, the putting direction and the putting strength as the putting guide information can be provided in various ways. It is also possible to adopt other schemes than those shown in the drawings, or to combine the schemes shown in the drawings. However, some users may wish to put their own judgment without putting guide information. Therefore, in the above embodiments, it is preferable that the user can select whether to provide the putting guide information.

6 is a diagram showing an example in which the putting guide information and the putting result are displayed together on the screen of Fig.

According to the present embodiment, after the putting is completed, a putting result (PR) and a putting guide (PG) may be displayed together on the screen so that the user can compare the putting result with the putting guide information . Referring to the components described with reference to FIG. 2, the putting result (PR) is detected by the sensing unit 110 and transmitted to the control unit 130 by the user. Then, based on the sensing result, Can be generated through the guide portion 160.

The user compares the putting result (PR) with the putting guide (PG) to determine how far his or her putting direction deviates from the ideal direction (direction of the putting guide PG) ) Strength) of the test piece. In order to easily compare the putting result PR with the putting guide PG, the putting result PR is preferably expressed in the same manner as the putting guide PG. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the putting guide PG is represented by a guide arrow, it is preferable that the putting result PR is expressed by a guide arrow. Or if the putting guide PG is represented by a golf ball as described with reference to FIG. 5D, it is preferable that the putting result PR is also represented by a golf ball.

As described above, by comparing the putting guide (PG) with the putting result (PR), the user can recognize the lacking point in his putting and can improve the putting ability by supplementing it later.

Referring to Fig. 7, in this embodiment, a putting guide unit 60 for providing putting guide information is provided. The putting guide unit 60 is located on the top of the striking plate 10 and projects light such as a beam onto the striking mat 11 of the striking plate 10. The beam is irradiated obliquely at a predetermined angle (?) With respect to the front direction with respect to the position where the actual golf ball (RB) of the striking mat (11) is placed. The angle? Is equal to the angle? At which the putting guide PG provided for the virtual golf ball VB of the screen 30 tilts. Therefore, the putting guide unit 60 serves to represent the putting direction with respect to the actual golf ball RB. In this way, when guide information about an actual golf ball RB is provided through the beam, a putting guide PG for a virtual golf ball VB on the screen 30 is provided with the beam Or only the beam is provided and the putting guide (PG) of the screen 30 may be omitted.

Figures 8 and 9 are embodiments that provide putting strength along with the putting direction.

As a method of representing the putting strength, the length of the beam can be changed according to the putting strength. Referring to FIG. 8, (I) shows a longer beam length than (II), indicating that (I) requires a stronger putting strength than (II).

As a method of representing the putting strength, the color of the beam may be changed according to the putting strength. Referring to FIG. 9, the putting guide unit 60 includes a plurality of beam irradiating portions 61, 62 and 63, and a beam of different colors is emitted for each of the beam irradiating portions 61, 62 and 63. For example, in FIG. 9 (I), the red beam is irradiated by the red beam irradiating portion 61, and in (II) of FIG. 9, the blue beam is irradiated by the blue beam irradiating portion 62. In the case where the putting strength varies depending on the color of the beam as in this method, it is necessary to set in advance the intensity of a certain color in advance, and also to set the user's setting value for the color of the beam and the putting strength, You need to let them know.

In the embodiments of FIGS. 8 and 9, it may be difficult to recognize the correct putting strength with the length or color of the beam alone, so that it is desirable that the specific numerical value of the putting strength be provided as a text message or as a voice message. It is also possible to provide a separate putting guide on the screen with a guide arrow or the like. 7 to 9, the putting result may be provided with the putting guide after the putting is completed, as described with reference to FIG. In addition, depending on the user, it may be desired to put the beam on his / her own judgment without putting guide information, so that the user can select whether to provide the beam according to the present embodiments.
