If described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings the present invention. Here, repeated descriptions, well-known functions that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, and detailed description of the configuration will be omitted. Embodiments of the present invention are provided to more fully describe the present invention to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the shape and size of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for a more clear description.

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

1 is an operation flow chart showing a method for providing a valid gain using a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method for providing a valid gain using a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention generates average stroke information based on play information of all players registered in a golf simulator (S110).

At this time, the golf simulator may correspond to a device that provides a virtual golf game corresponding to a course selected by the player. That is, a user registered as a player can select a golf course registered in a golf simulator and enjoy a golf game.

At this time, the golf simulator may record and store play information for each player whenever the player completes a round corresponding to 18 holes or 9 holes. For example, the play record may store information about various situations that occur while the player plays a golf game, such as a record for each course, a record for each hole, a record for each shot, and a record for each player's entire play.

At this time, the average stroke information may be generated based on a category corresponding to at least one of a straight distance remaining to the hole cup, a type of shot, and a type of terrain.

For example, the average stroke information for 100m may be generated by synthesizing stroke records for shots when the straight distance remaining from the ball's position to the hole cup is 100m for all players.

For another example, average stroke information for a tee shot may be generated by synthesizing stroke records for a shot in the case of a tee shot for all players.

As another example, the average stroke information for the fairway terrain may be generated by synthesizing the stroke records for shots when the distance to the hole cup is 150 m, which is a fairway for all players.

At this time, the type of shot may include at least one of a tee shot (off the tee), an approach shot (approach the green), a short game (around the green), and putting (putting).

At this time, the tee shot may mean the first shot of the hole, except for the par 3 hole.

At this time, the approach shot may refer to a shot in a case where the straight distance from the hole cup is 30 m or more among the first shot of the par 3 hole and the second shot of the hole of the par 3 or higher hole.

In this case, the short game may refer to a shot in a case where a straight distance between the hole cup and the hole cup is 30 m or less among the first shot of the par 3 hole and the second shot of the hole having a par 3 or higher.

At this time, putting may mean a shot when the position of the ball is green.

Therefore, the average stroke information is the total information of the strokes in the case of a tee shot, the information of the information in the strokes in the case of an approach shot, the information in the case of a short game, and the stroke in the case of putting. Records may include aggregated information.

In addition, the method for providing a valid gain using a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention moves after the first average stroke corresponding to the current ball position and the target player consumes a shot based on the average stroke information Obtain a second average stroke corresponding to the position of the ball (S120).

At this time, the first average stroke and the second average stroke may be obtained in consideration of a category corresponding to each of the current ball position and the moved ball position.

For example, assuming that the current ball position is a position corresponding to a straight distance 400m from the hole cup, among the average stroke information, an average stroke score when the straight distance from the hole cup is 400m is obtained as the first average stroke can do. Thereafter, assuming that the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the shot is the position corresponding to the straight distance 220m from the hole cup, among the average stroke information, the average stroke score when the straight distance from the hole cup is 220m Can be obtained with the second average stroke.

For another example, assuming that the current ball position is an approach shot with a straight line distance of 100 m from the hole cup, the average stroke score of the average stroke information for an approach shot with a straight line distance from the hole cup of 100 m is the first average stroke Can be obtained by Thereafter, assuming that the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the shot is a position corresponding to a straight line distance of 5 m from the hole cup on the green, when the putting distance is 5 m from the average stroke information, the straight line distance from the hole cup The average stroke score can be obtained as the second average stroke.

As another example, assuming that the current ball position is an approach shot with a straight line distance of 50 m from the rough terrain in the rough terrain, the average of the stroke information in the rough terrain is an approach shot with a straight line distance of 50 m from the rough terrain The stroke score can be obtained as the first average stroke. After that, if the player consumes the shot and assumes that the position of the ball moved is a position corresponding to 3m of the straight line distance from the hole cup on the green, putting the straight distance from the green to the hole cup distance of 3m among the average stroke information The average stroke score at the time can be obtained as the second average stroke.

The above example is described as an example of some situations, and the first average stroke or the second average stroke may be obtained in consideration of more various situations.

In addition, a method for providing a valid gain using a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention calculates a valid gain for the target player corresponding to a value obtained by subtracting the second average stroke and the shots consumed by the target player from the first average stroke ( S130).

In this case, a valid gain and loss may mean a value that is obtained or lost relative to the average stroke for each shot until the ball is holed in to the hole cup when the shot starts from a straight distance from the tee box to the hole cup. Accordingly, a valid gain can be calculated in consideration of the current distance and the moved distance for each shot of the player using the golf simulator, and when the 18-hole play is completed, it can be stored as valid gain information for the hole. At this time, the stored information may be used to extract statistical information of the individual players and statistical information of all players registered in the golf simulator.

At this time, the valid gain can be calculated by subtracting the shot consumed by the player from the value obtained by subtracting the average stroke at the moved position from the average stroke at the current position as described above. When the value of the valid gains calculated as described above is positive, it may mean that the shot is conducted at a distance that is more favorable than the average stroke by all players. Conversely, if the value of the calculated valid score is negative, it may mean that the shot was conducted at an unfavorable distance than the average stroke by all players.

At this time, a valid gain or loss can be calculated for each shot of the target player based on the category.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, a process of calculating a player's valid gain based on the distance remaining to the hole cup will be described as follows.

First, it can be assumed that the first shot 210 corresponding to the tee shot has a straight line distance from the hole cup of 440 m, and the first average stroke obtained based on the average stroke information is 4.62. That is, the first average stroke may be counted as a stroke score when the remaining distance is 440m among play information of all players registered in the golf simulator regardless of the corresponding course and corresponding hole.

Thereafter, the second average counted as the stroke score when the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the first shot 210 is a straight distance 220m from the hole cup, and the remaining distance among the play information of all players is 220m Assuming that the stroke is 3.35, a valid gain of the first shot 210 may be calculated corresponding to 4.62-3.35-1 = 0.27. That is, the player may have a situation in which a stroke score of +0.27 is obtained through the first shot 210.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the second shot 220 is a point with a straight distance of 130m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among the player's play information is 130m Assuming that the average stroke is 2.74, a valid gain and loss of the second shot 220 may be calculated corresponding to 3.35-2.74-1 = -0.39. That is, the player may have lost the stroke score of -0.39 through the second shot 220.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the third shot 230 is a point with a straight line distance of 15m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among all players' play information is 15m Assuming that the average stroke is 1.58, a valid gain for the third shot 230 may be calculated corresponding to 2,74-1.58-1 = 0.16. That is, the player may have a situation in which a stroke score of +0.16 is obtained through the third shot 230.

Thereafter, assuming that the player has consumed the fourth shot 240 and has holed in the hole cup on the green, the validity gain of the fourth shot 240 may be calculated corresponding to 1.58-1 = 0.58. That is, since the hole-in is a situation in which the remaining distance is 0 m, it is possible to calculate a valid gain by assuming that the second average stroke is 0.

Likewise, it is possible to calculate a valid gain for a single hole, and when the player completes the game up to 18 holes, a round average valid gain for the player may be derived. In addition, information about valid gains collected as the player completes the round may be used to update average stroke information based on all players.

For another example, referring to FIG. 3, a process of calculating a player's valid gain based on the type of shot and the remaining distance to the hole cup will be described as follows.

In the situation of FIG. 3, since the ball is located at a point at a distance of 30 m or more from the hole cup in the par 4 hole, it can be determined that the approach shot corresponds to the second shot. At this time, it can be assumed that the second shot 310 corresponding to the approach shot has a straight line distance from the hole cup of 155 m and the first average stroke obtained based on the average stroke information is 3.11. That is, the first average stroke may be counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance is 155m from the play information of all players registered in the golf simulator and is an approach shot.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the second shot 310 is a point with a straight line distance of 25m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among the player's play information is 25m Assuming that the average stroke is 1.31, a valid gain or loss of the second shot 310 corresponding to the approach shot may be calculated corresponding to 3.11-1.31-1 = 0.8. That is, the player may determine that the stroke score of +0.8 is obtained through the second shot 310 that is the approach shot.

If a valid gain for an approach shot is obtained up to 18 holes in this way, the player's approach shot stroke ability in the round may be calculated.

In addition, since the position of the ball of the second shot 310 shown in FIG. 3 was a rough terrain, it is possible to obtain a valid gain in the rough terrain. For example, assuming that the average stroke is 4.04 when the stroke score in the case of the rough terrain is counted among the play information of all players registered in the golf simulator as shown in FIG. 3, the validity of the player's rough terrain is 4.04 It can be calculated corresponding to -1.31-1 = 1.73. That is, the player can judge that the stroke ability of the rough terrain has obtained a stroke score of 1.73.

In this way, if a valid gain for the rough terrain is obtained up to 18 holes, the player's rough terrain stroke ability in the round may be calculated.

At this time, the golf simulator may show a valid gain and loss for every shot of the player as shown in FIGS. 7 to 8.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the player's shot is finished, a valid gain or read by the player in this shot may be displayed on the screen with the name SG (Stroke Gain). That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, it may indicate that the player has obtained a valid gain 700 for the rough terrain by 0.23.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a player holes out for each hole, a valid score 800 lost or gained in this hole may be displayed on the screen when the hole score result is exposed. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, it may indicate that a total of 1.24 valid gains 800 are obtained as the player completes the game in the corresponding hole. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, if the valid gain 800 is positive, the message GOOD is displayed with the score, and if the valid gain 800 is negative, the message BAD may be displayed together with the score.

At this time, the golf simulator may extract a special item of the target player based on the valid gain and the play information of the target player.

At this time, the specialty item may mean a case in which the stroke capability of the player is equal to or higher than the average level by the total players registered in the golf simulator. These special items can serve as a reminder of what strengths the player has in terms of strokes when using the golf simulator.

At this time, the golf simulator may extract the specialty items in consideration of the extraction conditions for each specialty item.

For example, the extraction conditions for each special item can be set as shown in [Table 1].

Shot type Specialty items Extraction condition Tee shot Pitch
-Straight
-Draw
-Fade -The direction angle of the shot is within a preset direction angle range
-Shot spin is within a preset spin range Tee shot Driver stability -After the shot, the terrain where the ball is located is fairway or green
-Male flight distance of 200m or more or female flight distance of 150m or more Tee shot Driver flying distance -Male distance of 250m or more or female distance of 200m or more Approach shot Wood stroke -Recommended clubs are wood or utility clubs
-After the shot, the terrain where the ball is located is fairway or green
-Male flight distance of 180m or more or female flight distance of 130m or more Approach shot Iron stroke -Recommended clubs are Irons 4 ~ 9 clubs
-After the shot, the terrain where the ball is located is fairway or green
-Flight distance of men over 150m or distance of women over 100m Approach shot Trouble Stroke -The slope of the starting surface of the shot is 30 degrees or more
-Rough terrain or bunker Approach shot Bunker stroke Shot from the top of the bunker Short game Approach stroke -Shot departure terrain fairway or rough
-At the end of the shot, the ball is in the hole cup Short game Chip-in stroke -When the starting terrain of the shot is all terrain other than green
-At the end of the shot, the ball is in the hole cup Short game Trouble Save -The slope of the starting surface of the shot is 30 degrees or more
-At the end of the shot, the ball is in the hole cup Short game Green bunker stroke -Bunker with green starting terrain Putting Trouble putting -More than one club with a lie drawn up to the hole cup Putting Short putting -Putting less than 5 meters Putting Long putting -Putting more than 10 meters Putting Apron putting -Putting in Apron

In other words, in the case of special items such as the wood stroke of an approach shot, if the male player hits an approach shot with a distance of 180 m or more to the wood club, and the ball moved by the shot lands on the fairway or green, the special item of the wood stroke is extracted to the player. Can be provided.

For another example, a process of extracting a special item based on FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. First, in the second shot 310 shown in FIG. 3, it can be confirmed that the terrain where the ball is located is rough, and if it is shown in FIG. 4, it may be assumed that the slope is 30 degrees or more. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the valid gain of the approach shot corresponds to +0.8, but the valid gain of the trouble stroke in the approach shot range may correspond to +1,3. That is, considering that the average valid gain by all players in the corresponding shot situation 410 is -0.24, the target player's valid gain is considered to be satisfied with the condition to be extracted as a special item because it corresponds to the top 14% can do. Therefore, the target player can be determined to be a player having excellent trouble stroke (shot save ability in a difficult environment) among stroke capabilities.

At this time, the special item extracted for each player may be displayed so that the player can know through the golf simulator. For example, referring to FIG. 6, it may correspond to a screen showing player setting information after the player logs in to the golf simulator. At this time, if the special item 600 exists according to the stroke capability of the corresponding player, it is possible to grasp what the special item is for each player by displaying the special item 600 as shown in FIG. 6.

At this time, the golf simulator may provide stroke statistical information of the target player based on a valid gain or loss.

For example, when the result information is exposed after the round of 18 holes is finished, a valid score record 900 calculated during this round may be displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 9. At this time, the valid gains and losses can be displayed by dividing each shot type with the total sum.

In addition, when the round ends or when the player is logged in to the golf simulator, the stroke detail information 1000 of the player may be provided as shown in FIG. 10. At this time, the stroke detail information 1000 may include a detailed value of the player based on the type of the specialty item, and may be updated and shown based on play information each time the player completes the round.

At this time, the golf simulator may provide the ranking information of the target player among all players using at least one of the validity gain and the stroke statistics information of the target player.

For example, each time a player ends a golf game in a round unit, the player's ranking may be calculated using a valid gain calculated based on the player's play information, and ranking information according to the ranking may be displayed on the screen. At this time, not only ranking information based on the total sum of valid gains, but also independent ranking information based on valid gains for each type of shot may be displayed.

In addition, the golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention may expose stroke statistical information of a target player to a screen in a graph form as shown in FIG. 11. That is, when the round by the target player ends, a valid gain for each type of shot may be calculated, and a graph may be generated and shown in a form corresponding to the calculated result.

In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, a method for providing a valid gain using a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention may store various information generated in the process for providing a valid gain.

Through this method of providing a valid gain and loss, the player's own ability can be measured in comparison with all players registered in the golf simulator.

In addition, it is possible to provide information suitable for a play situation for each shot to a player using a golf simulator.

In addition, special information can be provided for each player registered in the golf simulator.

In addition, the golf simulator may provide statistics or ranking according to a player's valid gain or loss during a golf game.

5 is a view showing an example of a structure for providing a valid gain according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the system for providing a valid gain according to the present invention basically calculates a valid gain based on play information by players registered in the golf simulator, and uses the calculated valid gain to determine the player Its purpose is to provide information.

At this time, all players registered in the golf simulator can check the result calculated through the screen of the golf simulator or the secondary monitor screen whenever a valid result is calculated after the end of the shot, the hole out, and the end of the round.

At this time, the stroke statistics of the individual players and the stroke statistics of all players may also be updated whenever play information recorded in units of rounds is generated.

At this time, stroke statistics may be provided for each type of shot, and may be used to extract special items for each type of shot.

In addition, ranking information and special information between players may be provided by comparing the stroke capabilities of individual players using stroke statistics of all players.

12 is a block diagram showing a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, a golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication unit 1210, a processor 1220, and a memory 1230.

The communication unit 1210 serves to transmit and receive information necessary for calculating a valid gain through a communication network such as a network. In particular, the communication unit 1210 according to the present invention may receive play information of all players registered in the golf simulator from a storage device such as a database.

The processor 1220 generates average stroke information based on play information of each player registered in the golf simulator.

At this time, the golf simulator may correspond to a device that provides a virtual golf game corresponding to a course selected by the player. That is, a user registered as a player can select a golf course registered in a golf simulator and enjoy a golf game.

At this time, the golf simulator may record and store play information for each player whenever the player completes a round corresponding to 18 holes or 9 holes. For example, the play record may store information about various situations that occur while the player plays a golf game, such as a record for each course, a record for each hole, a record for each shot, and a record for each player's entire play.

At this time, the average stroke information may be generated based on a category corresponding to at least one of a straight distance remaining to the hole cup, a type of shot, and a type of terrain.

For example, the average stroke information for 100m may be generated by synthesizing stroke records for shots when the straight distance remaining from the ball's position to the hole cup is 100m for all players.

For another example, average stroke information for a tee shot may be generated by synthesizing stroke records for a shot in the case of a tee shot for all players.

As another example, the average stroke information for the fairway terrain may be generated by synthesizing the stroke records for shots when the straight distance remaining to the hole cup is a fairway for all players and is 150 m.

At this time, the type of shot may include at least one of a tee shot (off the tee), an approach shot (approach the green), a short game (around the green), and putting (putting).

At this time, the tee shot may mean the first shot of the hole, except for the par 3 hole.

At this time, the approach shot may refer to a shot in a case where the straight distance from the hole cup is 30 m or more among the first shot of the par 3 hole and the second shot of the hole of the par 3 or higher hole.

In this case, the short game may refer to a shot in a case where a straight distance between the hole cup and the hole cup is 30 m or less among the first shot of the par 3 hole and the second shot of the hole having a par 3 or higher.

At this time, putting may mean a shot when the position of the ball is green.

Therefore, the average stroke information is the total information of the strokes in the case of a tee shot, the information of the information in the strokes in the case of an approach shot, the information in the case of a short game, and the stroke in the case of putting. Records may include aggregated information.

In addition, the processor 1220 based on the average stroke information, the first average stroke corresponding to the current ball position and the second average stroke corresponding to the position of the ball moved after the target player consumes the shot. To acquire.

At this time, the first average stroke and the second average stroke may be obtained in consideration of a category corresponding to each of the current ball position and the moved ball position.

For example, assuming that the current ball position is a position corresponding to a straight distance 400m from the hole cup, among the average stroke information, an average stroke score when the straight distance from the hole cup is 400m is obtained as the first average stroke can do. Thereafter, assuming that the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the shot is the position corresponding to the straight distance 220m from the hole cup, among the average stroke information, the average stroke score when the straight distance from the hole cup is 220m Can be obtained with the second average stroke.

For another example, assuming that the current ball position is an approach shot with a straight line distance of 100 m from the hole cup, the average stroke score of the average stroke information for an approach shot with a straight line distance from the hole cup of 100 m is the first average stroke Can be obtained by Thereafter, if the player consumes the shot and assumes that the position of the moved ball is a position corresponding to a straight distance 5m from the hole cup on the green, a putting having a straight distance from the hole cup of 5m among the average stroke information The average stroke score at the time can be obtained as the second average stroke.

As another example, assuming that the current ball position is an approach shot having a straight line distance of 50 m from the rough cup in rough terrain, the average stroke information is an approach shot having a straight line distance of 50 m from the rough terrain in the rough stroke information. The average stroke score at the time can be obtained as the first average stroke. After that, if the player consumes the shot and assumes that the position of the ball moved is a position corresponding to 3m of the straight line distance from the hole cup on the green, putting the straight distance from the green to the hole cup distance of 3m among the average stroke information The average stroke score at the time can be obtained as the second average stroke.

The above example is described as an example of some situations, and the first average stroke or the second average stroke may be obtained in consideration of more various situations.

In addition, the processor 1220 calculates a valid gain and loss of the target player in correspondence with the first average stroke minus the shot consumed by the target player and the second average stroke.

In this case, a valid gain and loss may mean a value that is obtained or lost relative to the average stroke for each shot until the ball is holed in to the hole cup when the shot starts from a straight distance from the tee box to the hole cup. Accordingly, a valid gain can be calculated in consideration of the current distance and the moved distance for each shot of the player using the golf simulator, and when the 18-hole play is completed, it can be stored as valid gain information for the hole. At this time, the stored information may be used to extract statistical information of the individual players and statistical information of all players registered in the golf simulator.

At this time, the valid gain can be calculated by subtracting the shot consumed by the player from the value obtained by subtracting the average stroke at the moved position from the average stroke at the current position as described above. When the value of the valid gains calculated as described above is positive, it may mean that the shot is conducted at a distance that is more favorable than the average stroke by all players. Conversely, if the value of the calculated valid score is negative, it may mean that the shot was conducted at an unfavorable distance than the average stroke by all players.

At this time, a valid gain or loss can be calculated for each shot of the target player based on the category.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, a process of calculating a player's valid gain based on the distance remaining to the hole cup will be described as follows.

First, it can be assumed that the first shot 210 corresponding to the tee shot has a straight line distance from the hole cup of 440 m, and the first average stroke obtained based on the average stroke information is 4.62. That is, the first average stroke may be counted as a stroke score when the remaining distance is 440m among play information of all players registered in the golf simulator regardless of the corresponding course and corresponding hole.

Thereafter, the second average counted as the stroke score when the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the first shot 210 is a straight distance 220m from the hole cup, and the remaining distance among the play information of all players is 220m Assuming that the stroke is 3.35, a valid gain of the first shot 210 may be calculated corresponding to 4.62-3.35-1 = 0.27. That is, the player may have a situation in which a stroke score of +0.27 is obtained through the first shot 210.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the second shot 220 is a point with a straight distance of 130m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among the player's play information is 130m Assuming that the average stroke is 2.74, a valid gain and loss of the second shot 220 may be calculated corresponding to 3.35-2.74-1 = -0.39. That is, the player may have lost the stroke score of -0.39 through the second shot 220.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the third shot 230 is a point with a straight line distance of 15m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among all players' play information is 15m Assuming that the average stroke is 1.58, a valid gain for the third shot 230 may be calculated corresponding to 2,74-1.58-1 = 0.16. That is, the player may have a situation in which a stroke score of +0.16 is obtained through the third shot 230.

Thereafter, assuming that the player has consumed the fourth shot 240 and has holed in the hole cup on the green, the validity gain of the fourth shot 240 may be calculated corresponding to 1.58-1 = 0.58. That is, since the hole-in is a situation in which the remaining distance is 0 m, it is possible to calculate a valid gain by assuming that the second average stroke is 0.

Likewise, it is possible to calculate a valid gain for a single hole, and when the player completes the game up to 18 holes, a round average valid gain for the player may be derived. In addition, information about valid gains collected as the player completes the round may be used to update average stroke information based on all players.

For another example, referring to FIG. 3, a process of calculating a player's valid gain based on the type of shot and the remaining distance to the hole cup will be described as follows.

In the situation of FIG. 3, since the ball is located at a point at a distance of 30 m or more from the hole cup in the par 4 hole, it can be determined that the approach shot corresponds to the second shot. At this time, it can be assumed that the second shot 310 corresponding to the approach shot has a straight line distance from the hole cup of 155 m and the first average stroke obtained based on the average stroke information is 3.11. That is, the first average stroke may be counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance is 155m from the play information of all players registered in the golf simulator and is an approach shot.

Thereafter, the position of the ball moved by the player consuming the second shot 310 is a point with a straight line distance of 25m from the hole cup, and the second counted as the stroke score when the remaining distance among the player's play information is 25m Assuming that the average stroke is 1.31, a valid gain or loss of the second shot 310 corresponding to the approach shot may be calculated corresponding to 3.11-1.31-1 = 0.8. That is, the player may determine that the stroke score of +0.8 is obtained through the second shot 310 that is the approach shot.

If a valid gain for an approach shot is obtained up to 18 holes in this way, the player's approach shot stroke ability in the round may be calculated.

In addition, since the position of the ball of the second shot 310 shown in FIG. 3 was a rough terrain, it is possible to obtain a valid gain in the rough terrain. For example, assuming that the average stroke is 4.04 when the stroke score in the case of the rough terrain is counted among the play information of all players registered in the golf simulator as shown in FIG. 3, the validity of the player's rough terrain is 4.04 It can be calculated corresponding to -1.31-1 = 1.73. That is, the player can judge that the stroke ability of the rough terrain has obtained a stroke score of 1.73.

In this way, if a valid gain for the rough terrain is obtained up to 18 holes, the player's rough terrain stroke ability in the round may be calculated.

At this time, the golf simulator may show a valid gain and loss for every shot of the player as shown in FIGS. 7 to 8.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the player's shot is finished, a valid gain or read by the player in this shot may be displayed on the screen with the name SG (Stroke Gain). That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, it may indicate that the player has obtained a valid gain 700 for the rough terrain by 0.23.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a player holes out for each hole, a valid score 800 lost or gained in this hole may be displayed on the screen when the hole score result is exposed. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, it may indicate that a total of 1.24 valid gains 800 are obtained as the player completes the game in the corresponding hole. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, if the valid gain 800 is positive, the message GOOD is displayed with the score, and if the valid gain 800 is negative, the message BAD may be displayed together with the score.

At this time, the golf simulator may extract a special item of the target player based on the valid gain and the play information of the target player.

At this time, the specialty item may mean a case in which the stroke capability of the player is equal to or higher than the average level by the total players registered in the golf simulator. These special items can serve as a reminder of what strengths the player has in terms of strokes when using the golf simulator.

At this time, the golf simulator may extract the specialty items in consideration of the extraction conditions for each specialty item.

For example, the extraction conditions for each special item may be set as shown in [Table 1] described above.

In other words, in the case of special items such as the wood stroke of an approach shot, if the male player hits an approach shot with a distance of 180 m or more to the wood club, and the ball moved by the shot lands on the fairway or green, the special item of the wood stroke is extracted to the player. Can be provided.

For another example, a process of extracting a special item based on FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. First, in the second shot 310 shown in FIG. 3, it can be confirmed that the terrain where the ball is located is rough, and if it is shown in FIG. 4, it may be assumed that the slope is 30 degrees or more. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the valid gain of the approach shot corresponds to +0.8, but the valid gain of the trouble stroke in the approach shot range may correspond to +1,3. That is, considering that the average valid gain by all players in the corresponding shot situation 410 is -0.24, the target player's valid gain is considered to be satisfied with the condition to be extracted as a special item because it corresponds to the top 14% can do. Therefore, the target player can be determined to be a player having excellent trouble stroke (shot save ability in a difficult environment) among stroke capabilities.

At this time, the special item extracted for each player may be displayed so that the player can know through the golf simulator. For example, referring to FIG. 6, it may correspond to a screen showing player setting information after the player logs in to the golf simulator. At this time, if the special item 600 exists according to the stroke capability of the corresponding player, it is possible to grasp what the special item is for each player by displaying the special item 600 as shown in FIG. 6.

At this time, the processor 1220 may provide stroke statistical information of the target player based on a valid gain or loss.

For example, when the result information is exposed after the round of 18 holes is finished, a valid score record 900 calculated during this round may be displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 9. At this time, the valid gains and losses can be displayed by dividing each shot type with the total sum.

In addition, when the round ends or when the player is logged in to the golf simulator, the stroke detail information 1000 of the player may be provided as shown in FIG. 10. At this time, the stroke detail information 1000 may include a detailed value of the player based on the type of the specialty item, and may be updated and shown based on play information each time the player completes the round.

At this time, the processor 1220 may provide ranking information of the target player among all players by using at least one of valid gain and stroke statistics information of the target player.

For example, each time a player ends a golf game in a round unit, the player's ranking may be calculated using a valid gain calculated based on the player's play information, and ranking information according to the ranking may be displayed on the screen. At this time, not only ranking information based on the total sum of valid gains, but also independent ranking information based on valid gains for each type of shot may be displayed.

In addition, the processor 1220 of the golf simulator according to an embodiment of the present invention may expose stroke statistical information of the target player to the screen in a graph form as shown in FIG. 11. That is, when the round by the target player ends, a valid gain for each type of shot may be calculated, and a graph may be generated and shown in a form corresponding to the calculated result.

The memory 1230 stores average stroke information.

In addition, as described above, the memory 1230 stores various information generated in the process of calculating a valid profit or loss according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment, the memory 1230 may be configured independently of the golf simulator to support a function for calculating a valid gain. At this time, the memory 1230 may operate as a separate mass storage, and may include a control function for performing the operation.

Meanwhile, the golf simulator is equipped with a memory and can store information in the device. In one implementation, the memory is a computer-readable medium. In one implementation, the memory may be a volatile memory unit, and in other implementations, the memory may be a non-volatile memory unit. In one embodiment, the storage device is a computer-readable medium. In various different implementations, the storage device may include, for example, a hard disk device, an optical disk device, or some other mass storage device.

By using such a golf simulator, a player can measure his or her ability compared to all players registered in the golf simulator.

In addition, it is possible to provide information suitable for a play situation for each shot to a player using a golf simulator.

In addition, special information can be provided for each player registered in the golf simulator.

In addition, the golf simulator may provide statistics or ranking according to a player's valid gain or loss during a golf game.
