Description

Apparatus for recognizing a penalty stroke in a golf course and Apparatus for recording the number of strokes using the same}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for recognizing penalty strokes on a golf course and a stroke record recording apparatus using the same, and in particular, a penalty stroke recognition apparatus for automatically reflecting penalty strokes by distinguishing whether it is a penalty stroke by an OB or a hazard, and It relates to a stroke recorder using the same.

Devices for automatically recording the number of strokes (score) of a golfer on a golf course are being released or researched and developed. These stroke recorders are mainly watch-type devices that the golfer wears on their wrists, recognizes the tee ground and hole information through swing motion and GPS location recording, and stores the number of strokes in a swing every time they swing and notifies the golfer. take the form

Republic of Korea Patent No. 1746662 (golf information providing device, 2017.06.21. announcement) allows golfers to automatically record game recording factors such as the number of strokes, shot position, flying distance, swing trajectory for each shot, and target direction without any additional manipulation. , hole information, a remaining distance, a recommended club, there is a disclosure regarding a golf information providing apparatus for providing information such as a green direction to a golfer.

Republic of Korea Patent No. 1952402 (mobile golf progress management system, announced on March 8, 2019) has a mobile golf that automatically manages the golfer's score by detecting the actual blow of the golfer through a combination of a motion sensor and a vibration sensor, calculating the number of strokes Disclosed is a progress management system.

On the other hand, if the ball hit by the golfer falls into the OB zone or the hazard zone, the ball is not hit from the location in the obi zone or hazard zone where the ball was dropped, but a separate obi drop provided in advance is given to each of them with a penalty stroke. The golf ball is placed in the OB drop zone or the hazard drop zone and hit. At this time, when the ball is hit from the obi drop zone, the number of penalty strokes is +2, and when the ball is hit from the hazard drop zone, the number of penalty strokes is +1. As shown in FIG. 1 , the positions of the obi drop zone 11 or the hazard drop zone 12 are marked in advance with a stake or the like on the golf course.

However, in the conventional case, whether the golf ball is hit from the obi drop zone or the hazard drop zone can only be determined using GPS location information, so there is a risk of a big error in the score. This is because, if the ball hit by the golfer falls into or near the obi drop zone or hazard drop zone, the ball is struck again from the same location as it is. This is because, while falling into a hazard zone and receiving penalty strokes, it is recognized that the ball is hit from an obi drop zone or a hazard drop zone, and the number of penalty strokes may be automatically granted undesirably.

The following examples are only presented for understanding the contents of the present invention, and many modifications will be possible within the technical spirit of the present invention by those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these examples.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the penalty stroke recognition apparatus 100 according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the penalty stroke transmission code storage unit 106 of FIG. 2 . And, FIG. 4 is a view for explaining a position where the swing mat 101 of FIG. 2 is installed.

2 to 4 , the penalty stroke recognition apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes a penalty stroke golfer presence determination unit 103 , an operation control unit 104 , a penalty stroke signal transmitter 105 , and a penalty stroke transmission code storage unit 106 . ) is included.

The penalty strike golfer presence determining unit 103 is for determining whether there is a penalty strike golfer in the obi drop zone or the hazard drop zone. Specifically, it is preferable to include a swing mat 101 in which the footrest pressing determination unit 102 is installed. The swing mat 101 is installed in an obi drop zone or a hazard drop zone as shown in FIG. 4 in the form of artificial turf spread. The footrest pressing determination unit 102 is installed to detect whether there is a penalty strike golfer through the weight of the penalty stroke golfer when the swing mat 101 rises.

The operation control unit 104 is installed to control the operation of the penalty signal transmission unit 105 . For example, the operation control unit 104 is a penalty stroke signal transmission unit ( By installing so that 105 is movable, power is supplied to the penalty signal transmitting unit 105 only while the penalty golfer is on the swing mat 101 so that the penalty signal transmitting unit 105 outputs the penalty signal 107 to the outside. desirable.

Since the penalty stroke recognition device 100 according to the present invention will be installed in an obi drop zone or a hazard drop zone of an outdoor golf course as shown in FIG. Turn on to prolong battery life.

Of course, the operation control unit 104 normally turns on the power switch so that power is supplied to the penalty signal transmitting unit 105, and only when the penalty golfer is on the swing mat 101, the penalty signal transmitting unit 105 The penalty strike signal 107 may be output to the outside, and when the penalty strike golfer comes down from the swing mat 101 , the penalty strike signal 107 may be no longer output from the penalty stroke signal transmitter 105 .

The penalty signal transmitter 105 outputs the penalty signal 107 to the outside. At this time, the penalty signal 107 includes a penalty stroke transmission code 107a and a penalty stroke golfer matching signal 107b.

The penalty transmission code 107a is for distinguishing whether the penalty golfer swings in the obi drop zone or the hazard drop zone, and is stored in the penalty transmission code storage unit 106 as shown in FIG. 3 . When the penalty stroke recognition apparatus 100 according to the present invention is installed in the obi drop zone, code 1 will be selected, and when installed in the hazard drop zone, code 2 will be selected. For example, the swing mat 101 set to code 1 may be installed in the obi drop zone as an obi mat, and the swing mat 101 set to code 2 may be installed in the hazard drop zone as a hazard mat.

Each of the golfers will be wearing a batting stroke recorder (not shown), the penal strokes matching signal 107b matches the penal strokes transmission code 107a to the stroke recording device worn by the penal strokes golfer on the swing mat 101 to input it.

If the penalty stroke matching signal 107b can selectively match the penalty stroke recognition device 100 to the stroke stroke recording device worn by the penalty stroke golfer on the swing mat 101, not the stroke stroke recording device worn by other golfers It may be implemented in various forms.

For example, as the penalty golfer matching signal 107b, as the distance from the penalty signal transmitter 105 increases, a transmission power signal having a lower reception strength may be used. In this case, since the reception strength of the transmission power signal will be weaker to other golfers than the penalty stroke golfer on the swing mat 101, only the transmission power signal received by the at-bats recorder with a strength greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value is filtered. If it is processed as an input, by appropriately setting the reference value, it is possible to process that the transmission power signal is received only by the stroke recording device worn by the penalty stroke golfer on the swing mat 101 . Therefore, the penalty stroke transmission code 107a can be reflected only in the stroke record recording device of the penalty stroke golfer.

The operation principle is explained as follows.

If the golfer hits the ball in the obi zone or the hazard zone, the golfer in question is placed in a separate obi drop zone (reference number 111 in FIG. 1) or a hazard drop zone (reference number 112 in FIG. 1). On the swing mat (reference number 101 in Fig. 4) laid on the golf swing as a penalty golfer.

At this time, the stroke recording device worn by the penalty stroke golfer not only recognizes swing or not as in the prior art, but also further recognizes the penalty stroke signal 107 output from the penalty stroke recognition device 100 according to the present invention. The penalty stroke count according to the distinction between penalty strokes and hazards, for example, +2 (OB) or +1 (hazard), is automatically added to the cumulative number of strokes of the golfer.
