Typically, a screen baseball system is provided with a screen capable of displaying a batting game where a user can bet and a virtual baseball field in a predetermined size of a room, and a pitching machine installed on the back side of the screen pitches the ball toward the batter The user preparing to strike the ball at the batting strikes the pitching ball from the pitching machine, at which time the sensing device senses the movement of the ball hit by the pitching ball and the user, And a simulation image of the trajectory of the hit ball on the screen is implemented.

In the screen baseball system described above, a hole is formed on a screen on which a baseball simulation image is projected, and a pitching machine installed on the back of the screen pitches the ball through a hole formed on the screen.

Although it is possible to consider applying such a screen baseball system for professional batting practice for analysis of batting posture and batting practice of actual baseball players, in the case of the conventional screen baseball system, since it is not possible to bet a ball fixed at a specific position, It is difficult to confirm and calibrate.

In addition, in the case of the conventional screen baseball system, since the sensing of the movement of the hit ball is not accurate, it is impossible to accurately predict the distance, direction, altitude and trajectory of the batted ball.

On the other hand, the following prior art document discloses a screen baseball simulation system including a refereeing function and a method for providing the same, and does not disclose the technical gist of the present invention.
