In addition, the user can feel the fun of realizing the golf simulation by designating not only the field to be played through the server 100 but also the start point of the play and the end point of the play. Furthermore, the user can adjust the difficulty of the golf simulation by selecting the range of current information of the golf simulation through the server 100 .

Hereinafter, each step will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

3A to 3D show an example of a display of a terminal that transmits and receives data to and from a server operating a golf simulation according to embodiments.

3A to 3D illustrate a play screen on the user device 20 by the server 100 according to embodiments. As an example, FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a golf simulation screen implemented in the first user device 20 , and as another example, FIGS. 3C and 3D may represent a golf simulation screen implemented in the second user device 30 . have.

3A and 3C show S202 (that is, a step of displaying information on a field) described in FIG. 2 .

3A and 3C , the server 100 may request the user to select a terrain on which to play the golf simulation. A user may convey a field selection signal by, for example, generating and transmitting an input signal for a portion of the map shown in FIGS. 3A and 3C . For example, the user may generate and transmit a field selection signal for where to play the golf simulation to the server 100 through an input device such as a touch input, a mouse, a keyboard, a voice signal, or the like.

Unlike the ones shown in FIGS. 3A and 3C , a global map, a virtual map, or a place may be displayed only as text instead of an image. The server 100 may display a specific map as an image when a range to be output as an image is reduced due to the selection of text. Due to this, the server 100 can improve the data processing speed.

Figures 3b and/or 3d illustrate the fields selected by the user with respect to Figures 3a and/or 3c. For example, the user may select an arbitrary apartment complex in k-dong of q-gu of x-city in Korea as a field. In this case, after the user selects only k dong of q ward of x city in Korea, the server 100 may select an arbitrary location within 300 m of the hall distance. Also, the user may select a specific apartment complex in k-dong, q-gu, x city, Korea as a field.

3B and 3D are diagrams illustrating S206 (ie, receiving a hole setting signal) and S207 (ie, displaying a hole position) described in FIG. 2 with respect to a field selected by a user. As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3D , the user can select the location of the hole by selecting a specific location (eg, 201 ) on the displayed field. Although not shown, the user may select the starting point of play in the same way as selecting the location of the hole.

4A to 5 described below show fields reflecting the current information selected by the user, and relate to S203 to S205.

4A to 4D illustrate an example of a display of a terminal that transmits and receives data to and from a server operating a golf simulation according to embodiments.

4A and 4C show terrain information and time information among the current information described with reference to FIG. 2 . That is, FIGS. 4A and 4C are fields generated when a current information selection signal for selecting terrain information and time information is received from a user.

Through this, the user can set the desired starting position 210 and the hole position 220 to set the field and difficulty of the golf simulation. For example, the user may start a golf simulation in the apartment 231 and set the field so that the first person to put a ball into the sewer pipe in the apartment 232 wins.

231 to 233 in FIGS. 4A and 4C indicate topographic information. The topographic information according to embodiments includes topographic information of the selected field, building information and obstacle information provided in the selected field, water distribution information of the selected field, and natural environment information of the selected field.

Specifically, the topographical information of the selected field means the characteristic shape of the earth's surface as the shape of the ground. Building information and obstacle information provided in the selected field include buildings (eg, houses, apartments, shopping malls, parks, etc.), electric poles, roads, and sidewalks built on the selected field, and artificially constructed in the selected field. means all buildings. The water distribution information of the selected field includes, for example, the sea, a valley, and the like, and means the distribution of stagnant or flowing water in the selected field. The natural environment information of the selected field means all features formed naturally, such as mountains and trees formed in the mountains.

4A and 4C , fields including terrain information including, for example, apartments 231 , 232 , and 233 are shown.

Through this, the user can enjoy a golf simulation on a desired structure at a desired location. For example, the user may feel like playing golf in a field including a rooftop of an apartment in which the user resides and a roof of an adjacent apartment.

In FIGS. 4A and 4C, 241 to 242 indicate time information. The time information according to embodiments includes date information and standard time information of a region in which the selected field is located.

Specifically, the server 100 may reflect date information and standard time information of the country or city in which the selected field is located and display it in the field.

For example, if the date of the selected field is November 20 and the standard time of the selected field is Seoul 20:00, the selected field may be dark as the sun sets. Reflecting this, the server 100 may implement 241 that the moon is floating in the western sky like an actual selected field. In addition, reflecting this, the server 100 may darken the field and the display screen so that the position and trajectory of the ball and the position of the hole are not easily seen (242). For example, when the selected field has bright information in the daytime, the field and the display screen may be set to be bright, and in this case, the position and trajectory of the ball and the position of the hole may not be clearly visible.

Through this, the user can enjoy realistic play based on the information reflected in real time. In addition, the user can enjoy a golf simulation with high difficulty.

4B and 4D show weather information among the current information described with reference to FIG. 2 .

Weather information according to embodiments includes weather information, wind information, and temperature information of a region in which the selected field is located. The weather information includes, for example, weather information such as snow, rain, and thunder. In addition, the weather information includes cloud information, for example, cloud shape information. Weather information is presented as it is on the display in which the fields are displayed. The wind information includes wind speed and wind direction information of an area in which the selected field is located. Wind information may be expressed as an arrow, and the wind speed may be visually expressed through saturation. In the wind information, for example, an arrow with a high saturation may appear as the wind speed increases, and an arrow with a low saturation may appear as the wind speed decreases. The temperature information includes the temperature of the field.

Although not shown, the current information according to the embodiments further includes other information. Other information according to embodiments may include floating population information, traffic information, and regional characteristic information of the selected field.

The floating population information and traffic information includes information about the actual floating population and traffic in the corresponding field. For example, for an area with a large floating population, the server 100 may display floating populations implemented as avatars on the field. Also, the regional characteristic information includes information reflecting the actual regional characteristic of the corresponding field. The regional characteristic information may include, for example, characteristics such as a school district, a tourist destination, and the like. For example, when regional characteristic information corresponds to an academy, if a golf ball is played loudly or to fit a window of the academy, a penalty may be received by the academy teacher. Penalties may include, for example, a break after playing, and deduction of points.

This allows the user to play a more difficult golf simulation.

In addition to the above-mentioned current information, the user can enjoy a play including an additional cloud to enjoy a higher difficulty golf simulation. Hereinafter, when a user selects a play including an additional cloud, an embodiment of an additional cloud to be generated will be described in detail.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention does not generate weather information (eg, weather information, wind information, temperature information) based on the user's current information selection signal, but rather based on real-time weather information received from an external server as shown in FIGS. 4a to 4a to Wind information and the like implemented in FIG. 4D may be generated. The real-time weather information may include information on the wind direction, that is, the wind direction, and the server 100 sets the appearance (eg, cloud shape information) of the cloud 252 in consideration of the wind direction or sets the cloud 252 . can control (and/or reset) the direction of movement of

At this time, A represents the cross-sectional area (m ² ) of the additional cloud 252, x represents the number of current information included in the current information selection signal, and p represents the number of strokes of the user progressed so far in the current golf simulation being played. and m represents the average number of strokes of the user in the golf simulation up to just before the current golf simulation being played. At this time, when there is no play record of the previous user, m represents 80. In addition, n represents the number of players participating in the current golf simulation being played, and d represents the distance from the starting position 210 to the hole location 220 .

In this case, the preset cross-sectional area A is applied to the field based on the ratio of the field to the area where the selected field is located.

At this time, the server 100 according to the embodiments generates and displays the additional cloud 252 so that the center of gravity of the cross-sectional area of the additional cloud 252 coincides with the upper position 221 corresponding to the position of the hole 220 . do. Alternatively, the server 100, when the additional cloud 252 is generated at an upper position corresponding to the start position 210, the center of gravity of the cross-sectional area of the additional cloud 252 is an upper position corresponding to the start position 210 Create and display an additional cloud 252 to match.

FIG. 5B shows the position of the hole viewed from the side with respect to the field described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4 .

The server 100 according to embodiments creates an additional cloud 252 located at a preset height. Specifically, the server 100 creates an additional cloud 252 in the sky separated by a preset distance D from the location of the hole 220 . In this case, the preset distance D can be obtained through [Equation 3] below.

[Equation 3]

In this case, D represents the distance (m) from the position of the hole 220 to the additional cloud 252, x represents the number of current information included in the current information selection signal, and p represents the current golf simulation being played, Indicates the number of strokes of the user that has been progressed so far, and m indicates the average number of strokes of the user in the golf simulation just before the current golf simulation being played.

In addition, n represents the number of players participating in the current golf simulation being played, and d represents the distance from the starting position 210 to the hole location 220 .

In this case, the preset distance D indicates a distance between 221 and 220 .

In this case, the preset distance D is applied to the field based on the ratio of the field to the area where the selected field is located.

The server 100 according to the embodiments may increase the difficulty of the golf simulation play by locating the additional cloud 252 on the hole 220 . For example, users may not properly grasp the location of the hole 220 or the information of the field due to the additional cloud 252 itself. Also, for example, as the range of the additional cloud 252 increases, users may not properly grasp the location of the hole 220 or information on the field. Also, for example, as the brightness of the additional cloud 252 increases, users may not properly grasp the location of the hole or the information of the field due to the shadow of the additional cloud 252 itself or the additional cloud 252 . Through this, users can enjoy more golf simulations by playing and clearing golf simulations of high difficulty.
