That is, the plurality of signal generators 100 may be individually installed at a plurality of different positions or points including the hole cup 12 provided in the golf course to generate different unique identification signals for each corresponding position. Such a signal generator 100 may be installed on the teeing ground 11 as well as the hole cup 12. In addition, the signal generator 100 may be installed at a boundary of a bunker, a boundary of a hazard, an OB boundary, an OB teeing ground, a hazard teeing ground, and the like. In addition, the signal generator 100 may be installed at any location by the golf course operating entity. At this time, each of the installed signal generators 100 has a unique identification code, and may generate a signal corresponding thereto.

In addition, in order to determine the distance to the signal generator 100 by receiving the signal generated by the signal generator 100 by the wearable unit 200 or the user terminal 300, the following method may be used.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, a TOA (Time-Of-Arrival) method can be used in which the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point is calculated by using the difference between the transmitting time and the receiving time of a predetermined signal. , The distance between the sending point and the receiving point can be obtained by multiplying the speed of the signal by the time difference between sending.

At this time, the signal of the signal generator 100 may be any one of infrared, ultrasonic, and RF. Here, since infrared rays have a very fast propagation speed, the accuracy of distance measurement may be degraded in a golf game where distances to a hole cup that are not far away must be measured. It can be beneficial to increase accuracy.

Alternatively, it may be output to the user through a speaker (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 5, the hole determination unit 394 of the terminal control unit 390 may perform the following steps to determine the user's current play hole.

For example, the terminal control unit 390 may receive a unique identification signal from a plurality of signal generators 100 respectively installed on the plurality of teeing grounds 11. The terminal control unit 390 may calculate a distance from the received unique identification signal to the signal generator 100 of the teeing ground 11 at the shortest distance, and then determine whether the distance is within a preset distance range.

If it is within a preset distance range, the control unit 390 for the terminal loads the previous play record of the same user from its own memory through the play information management unit 395 or requests the server group 400 to determine the previous play hole of the same user. You can determine if there is.

In this case, if it is determined that there is no previous play hole of the same user, the terminal control unit 390 may set the play hole currently being played by the user as the first hole. Accordingly, the control unit 390 for the terminal determines that the user starts the golf game from the first hole and can update the current play hole information to either of the wearable unit 200 and the server group 400.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a previous play hole of the same user, the terminal control unit 390 adds 1 to the number of the previous play hole provided from the server group 400, and this (the number of the previous play hole + 1) and the previous step It can be determined whether the hole numbers of the teeing ground 11 calculated as the shortest distance are the same.

If the hole number of the teeing ground 11 calculated as the shortest distance with the previous play hole number + 1 is not the same, the terminal control unit 390 guides the user to adjust the current position through the speaker of the wearable unit 200 Can guide you to the play hole where the match should be played.

If the number of the hole of the teeing ground 11 calculated as the shortest distance is the same as the number of the previous play hole + 1, the terminal control unit 390 sets the number of the hole of the teeing ground 11 calculated as the shortest distance as the current play hole. I can. In addition, the terminal control unit 390 performs an operation of updating information on the current play hole to any one of the wearable unit 200 and the server group 400 through the play information management unit 395, for example, Information on the current play hole may be notified to the user, and information on the play hole of the corresponding user may be updated to the service provider server 420 of the server group 400.

Upon receiving the score information input command, the wearable control unit 290 may collect the current location of the wearable unit 200 and provide the current location of the wearable unit 200 to the user terminal 300 together with the score information input command. . For example, the user may simultaneously input a user command and score information input command to the wearable unit 200 by voice, for example, "Yadi Gbook, Obi, 3 Burnwood, 5 stroke input, end".

In addition, the user terminal 300 collects information on the play hole, determines the location of the user through the location of the wearable unit 200, and determines the location of the wearable unit 200 of the golf course received from the server group 400. Map information can be mapped. In addition, the user terminal 300 reads the score information input command received from the wearable unit 200 to identify at least one of the type of the score information input command, the type of penalty stroke, and the type of club, so that the user's shot is the first hit. You can judge whether it is. For reference, the type of penalty that can be entered as a score information input command may include'Obi/Hazard', and the club used with '3 Wood' may be entered, or a command such as '5 stroke input' You can input the number of strokes through. In addition, as a type of command, for example, there may be'Bunker input', which may be a command that one hit in the bunker, and'OK' is a'end order after adding 1 stroke' by adding 1 stroke to the current play result. It could be an order to end the hole. When all commands are finished and there are no more commands to be entered, the end of the command can be signaled through the command'End'.

In addition, the user terminal 300 updates the score information and play information to the server group 400 if it is the first hit, and if it is not the first hit, the distance of the golf ball is changed according to the position change of the wearable unit 200 and the score information input command. After calculating, score information and play information may be updated in the server group 400.

In addition, the user terminal 300 may provide the update result of the score information to the wearable unit 200, and the wearable unit 200 may transmit the update result of the score information received from the user terminal 300 to the wearable user. It can be output to the user through the interface unit 240. That is, the wearable unit 200 may inform the user of score information through voice through the wearable user interface unit 240.

In addition, referring to FIG. 11, the golf information providing system according to the present embodiment is performed by a user during a golf game through each operation of the wearable unit 200, the user terminal 300, and the server group 400. Through the wearable unit 200, it is possible to check whether a golf game is possible, that is, the position of the front team.
