Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram schematically illustrating a mobile golf course management system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of FIG.

1 and 2, a mobile golf course management system according to the present invention includes a beacon communicator 10 installed at a specific point in each hole to transmit a beacon signal, and a beacon communicator 10 installed in a golfer's wrist, A user terminal 30 for receiving a beacon signal transmitted from the beacon communicator and transmitting the beacon signal to the progress management server and accumulating the shot detected from the hit sensor to calculate a score, And a progress management server 40 for managing the progress state of the golfer by confirming the current position of the golfer from the golf course and recording and managing the calculated score.

Here, the beacon means a device that periodically transmits information in order to provide certain information to the devices in the coverage, and means a method of transmitting information through Bluetooth, which is a type of short-distance wireless communication method .

The beacon communication device may be a LoRa and a 2.4 GHz / 800 MHz ISM band communication method which are capable of long-distance communication, rather than Bluetooth, which is a short distance communication.

The beacon communicator 10 may be installed in a specific area of the hall and periodically transmit its own identification ID or its identification ID and RSSI value as beacon information to the devices in the coverage.

The specific area in which the beacon communicator 10 is installed may basically include a starting point (T-periphery) of each hole. That is, the golfer's progress speed can be determined through the time information between the time at which the golfer's position is detected at the start point of each hole and the time at which the golfer's position is detected at the start point of the next hole.

In addition, a beacon communication device may be installed at a midpoint (EX, OB tee, hazard tee periphery) and an end point (hole cup - periphery) in addition to the start point of each hole for more elaborate game progress time confirmation.

Conventionally, since the actual hit of the golfer can not be automatically detected, the golfer or the CAD must directly calculate and record the batting number, the calculation of the batting number may be inaccurate, and the game concentration may be deteriorated by the calculation of the batting number. The impact sensor automatically detects the actual impact of the golfer.

The hitting sensor 20 senses a swing of a golfer hitting an actual golf ball and senses an actual shot. The sensor module 20 senses an actual hit of the golf ball, and transmits the sensed actual hitting information to the user terminal 20. [ And a communication module for transmitting the data to the mobile communication terminal. Here, the hit sensor may include a display module for displaying the number of strokes or all strokes in the current hole.

The sensor module may include a motion sensor and a vibration sensor. The combination of the motion sensor and the vibration sensor may detect an actual impact of the golf ball.

Here, the motion sensor may include an acceleration sensor for sensing a swing motion of a golfer.

More specifically, when the golfer swings, the motion sensor senses the swing. When the ball hits the ball, the fine vibration is sensed on the wrist from the golf club due to the impact. Therefore, when the motion sensor and the vibration sensor are detected at the same time, You can calculate the ratios.

For example, if a swing is repeated a few times and the swing is actually performed, only the motion sensor value is detected, the vibration sensor is not detected, and the vibration sensor is detected only when the ball is struck, so that the motion sensor and the vibration sensor are simultaneously detected. Lt; / RTI >

In addition, the sensor module may be configured to detect an actual hit through a pulse sensor instead of the vibration sensor. Generally, because of the difference in tension between the empty swing and the actual swing, a pulse difference occurs, and a pulse sensor can detect the difference between the empty swing and the actual swing pulse. Therefore, if the motion sensor and the pulse sensor are detected at the same time, it can be determined that the golf ball is hit.

The sensor module may include a sound sensor. Unlike an empty swing, in a real swing, a hitting sound occurs by hitting the ball. Therefore, when the sound sensor senses the actual ball hit, it can be determined that the actual hit is detected when the motion sensor is detected at the same time.

When the sensor module is constituted by a sound detection sensor, the impact sensor may be attached to or worn on a body other than the wrist, a hat, a waistband or the like.

When the actual hit is detected through the sensor module, the shot information of the golfer is transmitted to the user terminal through the communication module.

The user terminal 30 receives a beacon signal from the beacon communicator and transmits the beacon signal to the progress management server together with the ID of the user terminal. When the actual hit is detected from the hit sensor, An alarm module for notifying a game delay from the progress management server when the game delay is judged, and a memory for storing the ID of the user terminal and the calculated score information.

Here, the user terminal 30 may be a dedicated terminal or a portable terminal of a golfer capable of communication, and may be installed as an application in the case of the portable terminal.

The progress management server 40 includes a competition progress management module for determining the current position of the golfer based on the beacon signal and the user terminal ID information transmitted from the user terminal and managing the progress state of the golfer, And a database for storing and managing beacon communicator information, an ID of a user terminal, and calculated score information, and a score management module for receiving and managing score information of the golfers.

Here, the beacon communicator information includes an ID and location information of the beacon communicator, and when the beacon communicator is identified through the ID of the beacon communicator, the location of the beacon communicator is confirmed and the position of the golfer can be confirmed through the location.

When the position of the golfer is confirmed through the beacon communicator, golf course green information for the hole can be transmitted to the user terminal. The golf course green information is information obtained by visualizing golf course topographical information such as a distance to a hole, a height difference, a slope, a hazard position, a fairway and a rough position, and the golfer can be assisted in the course search based on the golf course green information .

The competition progress management module can identify the position of the beacon by identifying the position of the beacon communicator and the golfer having the user terminal based on the beacon signal and the user terminal ID information. The golfer can recognize the position of the golfer at the start point of the previous hole, It is possible to calculate the play time at a specific hole through the time at which the golfer is identified at the point and to check the progress speed of the golfer in comparison with the set average play time.

More specifically, golf is usually conducted by a team of three to four players, information of golfers belonging to a team is registered and managed in a progress management server, and each golfer wears a user terminal and a batting sensor to play golf do.

Here, the time between the time when the position information of the golfers where the team M starts the first tee shot in the N hole and the time when the position information of the golfers who start the first tee shot in the next hole N + 1 hole is detected, It is possible to determine the game progress speed of the M team by comparing the appropriate game time information in the N holes, and it is also possible to determine the game progress time in the Nth hole of the M team is slower than the predetermined game time It can be judged that a game delay occurs.

The appropriate competition time may be set in consideration of the number of teams playing golf, the time zone and the weather condition at the same time, and may be set through statistics of the average competition time of teams participating in golf.

Hereinafter, a mobile golf course management method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

4 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a mobile golf course management method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a golfer who belongs to a team participating in golf wears the batting sensor on his / her wrist, carries a user terminal, and performs presetting.

Since the information about the team A participating in golf is registered and managed in the progress management server when golf is accepted, the user terminal ID information possessed by the golfer participating in the team is set in advance before the golf play, and the hit sensor and the user terminal are synchronized You are ready to play golf.

 When a B golfer belonging to team A is positioned at the tee shot point of hole 1, the golfer's beacon receiver receives a beacon signal from a nearby beacon communicator, and the user terminal transmits the received beacon signal and user terminal ID to the progress management server Lt; / RTI >

The competition progress management module of the progress management server identifies the beacon communicator from the received beacon signal, confirms the position of the beacon communicator, identifies the golfer through the user terminal ID, and confirms the position of the golfer. (Ta) is recorded.

Then, when the B golfer hits the actual golf ball through the practice swing and performs a tee shot, the sensor module of the hit sensor senses it and transmits it to the user terminal, and the batting management module of the user terminal counters and manages the same.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, when the golfer swings, the motion sensor senses the swing. When the swing is detected, the vibration sensor is not detected. When the ball is hit, The motion sensor and the vibration sensor are simultaneously detected. Therefore, only when the motion sensor and the vibration sensor are detected at the same time, it is judged as an actual hit, so that the hit of the accurate golf ball can be detected.

Here, the measurement range of the vibration sensor can be set in advance in order to prevent inaccurate hit detection, and the range of vibration generated when the golf ball is hit can be obtained through experiments and simulations and set in advance, As a blow.

When the B golfer completes the putting at hole 1 through the same process, the number of bats at hole 1 of golfer B is cumulatively managed.

When the B golfer is positioned at the tee shot point of the second hole, the game progress management module of the progress management server records the time (Tb) sensed by the golfer at the tee shot point of the second hole through the same process as in the first hole , Subtracting the time Ta detected at the first hole at the time Tb detected at the second hole, the game time T1 at the first hole is calculated, The team A is checked for the progress of the game in which the golfer A belongs by comparison with the competition time (Tc).

Here, if the game time T1 in the first hole is slower than the set appropriate game time Tc, the game progress management module determines that the game is delayed and transmits an alarm for the game delay to the user terminal of the B golfer . The alarm can be transmitted with a notification character such as "The game is delayed, so please perform a quick game."

In this embodiment, a beacon communication device is installed in a plurality of areas such as a hole cup point, an intermediate point (OB tee, hazard tee point) of each hole for more accurate game progress management, So that it is possible to check the position of the golfer in real time, thereby enabling more detailed game progress management.

If the B golfer recognizes the position at the tee shot point of the second hole, the game progress management module informs the user terminal of the end of the hole 1, and the batting management module of the user terminal The total number of the batters detected until the present time by the sensor module of the sensor module 1 is recorded as the last batting number of the first hole and is reset to wait for the second batting number recording.

In this case, when the display module is mounted on the impact sensor, accumulated numbers are displayed every time the actual impact is detected, and the final number of balls in one hole can be displayed. In addition, The golfer can check his batting speed in real time while playing golf.

 The score to the last hole can be automatically calculated through the above process. When the round to the last hole is finished, the final score is calculated and stored as the golfer's history information in the database of the progress management server.

Accordingly, the golfer can concentrate on the golf game since the actual hit is automatically detected without counting or recording the golf ball, so that the golfer can concentrate on the golf game.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
