Description

Apparatus and method for golf simulation capable of adjusting mission difficulty and providing differential rewards

The present invention relates to a golf simulation device and method capable of adjusting the difficulty level of a user-customized mission and providing differential rewards, and more particularly, a game is played with different game conditions according to the user's golf skills, and the user is rewarded according to the game result. It relates to an apparatus for providing differential rewards and a method of operating the same.

Recently, golf is gaining popularity as a sport that can be said to be in its heyday. However, it is true that domestic golf is still expensive, consumers have difficulty accessing it due to the perception that it is a high-end hobby, and a lot of time and money are consumed to enjoy golf smoothly.

A lot of practice is required before field rounding can be enjoyed, sometimes lessons are needed, or games are played in order to arouse interest.

Beam projectors and golf simulation technology that simulates the grass of the golf course have developed, and now it is possible to enjoy simulation games similar to real games in the city center, even if it is not necessarily a field round.

As the moment when the golf club hits the ball can be accurately analyzed, the trajectory of the ball flying when the user swings outdoors can be reproduced almost similarly, and the user can overcome various environments by changing the shape of the floor the user is stepping on. It also provided an environment to practice swing.

However, although golf is a sport that requires a lot of time and effort and continuous practice, it is very difficult for people with different skills to enjoy the game in the same environment.

It is a common method to assign different handicaps to users with different skills to play the game, but it is not directly adjusting the difficulty of the game, but merely correcting the play results, so that people with relatively low skills can play the entire course. It can make you feel difficult to enjoy and play, and can bring about aversion to continuous practice.

In other words, the existing golf simulation system or screen golf includes game elements, but does not provide a reward system proportional to the level of difficulty or the user's relative ability, making users feel barriers to entry.

Accordingly, there is a need for research on a golf simulation device that can arouse users' interest and increase immersion.

1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a driving environment of a golf simulation device capable of adjusting mission difficulty and providing differential rewards according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a golf simulation device (hereinafter referred to as 'device') 100 capable of adjusting mission difficulty and providing differential rewards includes a swing mat 10, a beam projector 20, a screen 30, a camera ( 40) and the display 50 to implement the golf simulation system 1.

At this time, the swing mat 10 may have a through hole through which a golf ball placed on a tee can be supplied while moving up and down through the swing mat 10, and the swing mat 10 is a fairway mat made of relatively short artificial turf , It can be realized by dividing the area into a rough mat made of artificial turf longer than a fairway mat and a bunker mat made of plastic sole that is denser than artificial turf and generates higher swing resistance than a rough mat.

In addition, the swing mat 10 may include a terrain driver that moves up, down, left, and right in the form of a terrain similar to a map in which a game is played to provide a more realistic golf simulation.

The beam projector 20 may provide a user with an environment similar to that of playing golf in an actual field by projecting a map of a current game from the device 100 to the screen 30 . At this time, two or more beam projectors 20 may provide a realistic game environment by projecting a map in which a game is in progress on both side walls or a floor.

The camera 40 may include an RGB camera, a high-speed camera, an infrared camera, and a camera capable of measuring depth, and at least one or more may be installed. The camera 40 may capture an image of a user's practice swing or actual swing, and provide the image so that the device 100 can analyze the user's swing.

The display 50 is connected to the device 100 to display a control user interface (UI) for controlling the device 100 and the golf simulation system 1 connected to the device, and displays images of a user's swing and Swing analysis video can be displayed.

2 is an exemplary view showing a golf simulation device capable of adjusting mission difficulty and providing differential rewards according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , an apparatus 200 includes a processor 210 and a memory 220 . In this case, the processor 210 may include at least one software or hardware module for calculation, and may directly include at least one memory therein.

The memory 220 may store information related to driving of the device 200 of the present invention or may store a program in which a method for driving is implemented. The memory 220 may be a volatile memory or a non-volatile memory, and may be a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, or a card type memory (e.g., , SD or XD memory, etc.), RAM (Random Access Memory, RAM), SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory, ROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) ), at least one type of storage medium such as a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk.

The processor 210 may execute a program and control the device 200 . Program codes executed by the processor 210 may be stored in the memory 220 . The device 200 may be connected to an external device (eg, a personal computer or network) through input/output devices such as a touch panel, mouse, keyboard, microphone, speaker, and input type pen, and exchange data.

In addition, the device 200 can communicate with a desktop computer equipped with a display, a laptop computer, a notebook, a smart phone, a tablet PC, a mobile phone ( mobile phone), smart watch, smart glass, e-book reader, PMP (portable multimedia player), portable game device, navigation device, digital camera, DMB (digital multimedia) broadcasting) player, digital video recorder, digital video player, personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like.

The device 200 may assign the user to a league group based on the user's record information.

Statistical information is the main play information generated by the user’s golf simulation, and the user’s average number of strokes (e.g., based on 9-hole and 18-hole matches), number of strokes per hole and par save rate, fairway landing rate, green hit rate, Game information such as putting success rate, sand save rate, tee shot save rate, average distance per club, swing information, and impact information may be included.

Swing information is motion information captured by a camera and input to the device 200 when a user swings, and may be information directly generated from the motion of the user's body during the swing and swing-related information calculated therefrom. For example, it may include the position and changes of the user's body (eg, head, limbs, etc.) after address or follow swing, movement of the pelvis, movement of the user's center of gravity, and the shape of a swing plane.

Impact information may refer to the moment the club contacts the ball according to the user's swing, that is, information generated from the movement of the ball and club before and after impact, and information using these information, for example, the impact position of the club face, the club path ( path), launch angle, ball speed, club head speed, and ball spin amount.

In addition, it may include map strategy information of previous games, and the map strategy information is information on how to understand and overcome the topography of the map being played, such as a fade shot in a left or right dog leg hole or Adjusting the club face considering the throw rate and drop point of the draw shot, aligning the aim and club face on a sloped terrain with a hook or slice slope, and adjusting oneself in a hole that is a mid-hazard It includes information on strategic play considering the topography and features of the map, such as club selection considering flight distance, and your own impact information.

The league group refers to at least one or more groups for playing a golf league according to the user's comprehensive golf ability based on the user's overall information and using game information, impact information, and strategy information. For example, the league group is group 3 with an average at-bats of 100 or more based on 18 holes, group 2 with an average at-bats of less than 100 and 85 or more, and group 1 with an average at-bats of less than 85 and 75 or more. Groups below 75 can be classified as challengers.

However, it is not limited thereto and the apparatus 200 may adjust and organize league groups based on various criteria. For example, even if users A and B have the same average number of strokes based on 18 holes of 90, the device 200 determines that user A's impact is more stable and consistent when the variance of each item is smaller than that of user B's impact information. Thus, it can be determined that user A has a higher level of skill.

In addition, even if users A and B have the same average number of strokes of 90 strokes, if user A has a high attack success rate according to the topography of the map, the device 200 may determine that user A has a higher skill level.

In this case, the device 200 classifies users A and B, whose average number of strokes is 90, into Group 2, where User A is classified as an upper group of subgroups of Group 2 and User B is classified as a lower group of subgroups of Group 2. can In addition, the apparatus 200 may classify user A into group 1 in consideration of overall ability even though the user A's average number of strokes is 90.

In this way, classification and adjustment of league groups in consideration of actual skills among users can generate a high degree of interest to users.

The apparatus 200 may create a matchup table for game progress based on users' match conditions, open a match according to the created matchup table, and allow users to participate in the opened match.

Here, the game conditions may mean conditions set by the user for the game, conditions for the opponent to play the game with, payment method and form of participation cost for the game, and compensation method according to the game. For example, the user It may include at least one of the league group to which it belongs, total play time, play start time, league participation cost, number of players in the match, league group of the opponent, play place, reward distribution method, and bracket generation method.

In addition, the user may have to pay certain points to participate in the game, and the points may be basically granted by a manager for golf simulation progress or provided in the form of charging by consuming the user's actual goods.

For example, a user can enter a game by consuming the minimum points required to participate in a game, but can expect a higher reward while consuming points corresponding to an integer multiple of the minimum point. As a reward that the user can obtain according to the score, it can be displayed as a point that can be used as a commodity in the golf simulation.

In another example, the user pays certain real goods (eg Korean Won, Dollars, Euros, Japanese yen, etc.) to deposit when and/or before participating in a game, and/or virtual currency (eg Bits) Coins (BTC, etc.) can also be paid. A record of actual goods and/or virtual currency paid in this way may be matched to the user and stored in the memory 220 . Real goods and/or virtual currency, etc. paid by a plurality of users may be used, consumed, and/or spent as compensation for rewards.

On the other hand, the matchup may be generated based on the game condition, but considering the user's previous information. For example, if the league group to which user A belongs is group 2, the league group of the play partner is set to group 3, and the reward distribution method is set to immediate payment, the device 200 determines that the user A belongs to group 3, User B, who sets the other party's league group to 2 and the compensation method to immediate payment, can be assigned to the same bracket as user A.

At this time, the game according to the bracket table may provide recording play of other users. For example, the apparatus 200 may provide a recorded play of another user when a 4-person play is not possible, but real-time play is impossible. For example, there may not be enough users who can play at the same time in the same time period. In this case, the device 200 provides the user's recorded play, but does not provide a separate notification so that other users do not know that it is a recorded play, so that the user You can keep the tension in their game play.

After the brackets are created, the device 200 may generate and deliver notifications for requesting participation to users meeting the corresponding game conditions, and may open a game according to the brackets.

Opening of a game is a state immediately before each user starts playing a game, and means a state in which at least two or more users proceed to play. The opening of such a game may be disclosed through a web page, an application, and the device 200, and may be provided so that various users can easily grasp the opening of the game and access the game.

Meanwhile, the device may generate a user-customized game map by modifying topographical information of the basic map based on game conditions and historical records of users participating in the opened game.

Here, the base map is a standard map for modifying topographical information, and may be a map virtually implemented with the same topography as a map of an existing golf course or a map composed of virtual topography created to provide a golf simulation according to the present invention. there is.

In addition, topographical information is information about the topographical features constituting the golf course on which golf is played on the basic map, for example, left and right hazards or OB (Out of bound) lines, greens, aprons, roughs, fairways, and water hazards. Inclination, type and location of bunkers, conceded line, location of pins (front/back/left/right), left and right doglegs, island topography, existence of blind holes, location of teeing ground (senior/blue/white/lady) can include

For example, when users who belong to different league groups or have different skills based on record information play a game together, the apparatus 200 corrects terrain information of the base map based on user record information Thus, each user can equally adjust the level of perceived difficulty experienced by the user during the game.

For example, if user A with an average stroke of 80 strokes and user B with an average stroke of 100 strokes play a game together, even if a handicap is applied for the number of strokes, user B may find the game too difficult and lose interest. Too easy play can make the game feel boring.

At this time, when the device 200 determines that the user belongs to a league group with a higher level than other users or that the user's skill level is higher than other users, the difficulty level of the base map is adjusted by modifying terrain information as follows. can elevate For example, changing both left and right hazard lines to OB (Out of bound) lines, reducing the area of the green, reducing the area of the apron, increasing the ball speed attenuation rate in the rough and bunker, reducing the area of the fairway, increasing the sloped terrain angle, and the distance of the conceded line Reduction, moving the pin position to the edge of the green, and increasing the angle of the left and right doglegs make play more tense, but do not change the location of the teeing ground and green, and the distance to the green, so users playing the game can play the same game. The same environment as playing on the map can be maintained as much as possible.

On the other hand, the above-described recorded play may be, for example, other user's recorded play information that can be provided to a user who does not have enough users who can play simultaneously in the same time period or who wants to play alone. At this time, when providing another user's recorded play, the device 200 may provide a user-customized game map by modifying topographical information of the basic map of the game to be played by the user based on the other user and the user's record information and game conditions. can

For example, the device 200 may provide a user-customized match map by modifying a basic map to be played by user B based on match conditions and record information between user A and user B who want to play the current match in user A's play information. there is.

On the other hand, the apparatus 200 determines the user's skill change trend according to each user's swing information, impact information, map strategy information, and overall information generated as the game is opened, and based on the determined skill change trend, the game An operating score can be calculated.

The game operation score considers the change in swing information and impact information generated as the game progresses compared to the swing information and impact information included in the user's record information, and the direction of the user's overall skill change, while taking into account the map strategy information in the game It can be calculated by reflecting

For example, the apparatus 200 calculates a difference value between the reference swing information and the user swing information, derives a trend line for the calculated difference value, and derives a trend line for the average value of the derived trend line and the user swing information. A user's ability change trend may be determined according to a region in which user swing information generated in the last swing is located.

3A and 3B are exemplary diagrams for explaining a user's ability change trend determination.

For example, in the device 200, if the user's swing information is below the trend line and average value in the last swing, area I (growth), if it is above the trend line and below the average value, area II (stagnant), if it is above the trend line and above the average value, area III (culling), If it is below the trend line and above the average value, it can be classified as Region IV (Enhancement).

At this time, the meaning of 'growth' in the user's swing information and impact information can be judged as showing a trend of continuous improvement in skill while having a better record than the user's existing skill, and 'stagnant' means that the user's If you have a record at the previous skill level, but the trend of increasing or decreasing skill is not great, 'culling' is when you record a record that is below the existing skill level, but the skill is declining. This may mean a case in which a skill improvement trend is observed while holding a record.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3A , the device 200 may determine a reference line 330 centered on the user's head at the time when the user 310 takes a pose for swinging before the swing as reference swing information. Then, the user 320 after the swing, that is, the center line 340 centered on the user's head at the time of impact may be determined as user swing information. At this time, a difference value occurred between the reference line 330 and the center line 340 by Δd.

In general, the greater the change in the posture of the address during swing and the posture during impact, the more difficult it is to make a precise shot, and the apparatus 200 may determine that the swing is unstable as Δd increases.

Meanwhile, the graph of FIG. 3B is an exemplary diagram illustrating Δd generated according to a total of 18 swings. The linear trend line 350 of Δd at the time of 18 swings has a negative slope and can be expressed as Equation 360, and the average value 370 of Δd generated according to 18 swings was calculated as 11.3.

At this time, it is assumed that the swing information up to the 17th is the swing information included in the user's record information, and the last swing, the 18th swing, is the user's first swing after starting a new game. In the 18th swing, Δd = 4 , △d=7.02 on the trend line, and average △d=11.33 including the 18th swing. That is, in the 18th swing , Δd is positioned below the trend line and the average value, and in this case, the device 200 may determine that the user's swing information belongs to area I and that the skill has 'growth'.

4A and 4B are other exemplary diagrams for explaining a user's ability change trend determination.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4A , the device 200 detects the impact position of the club face, club path, launch angle, club trajectory and ball motion information before and after impact according to the user's swing through a camera and during impact. Impact information such as ball speed, club head speed, and ball spin can be calculated.

However, in the following description, for convenience of description, the determination of the trend of skill change according to the change in ball speed, which is the speed at which the ball is launched in the direction of travel after impact of the club 410 and the ball 420, will be described. In general, ball speed is the main factor determining the flight distance, and the higher the ball speed, the device 200 can determine a good impact.

In the same way, the device 200 calculates a difference value between the reference impact information and the user impact information, derives a trend line for the calculated difference value, and derives the largest area among the areas divided according to the average value of the derived trend line and the user impact information. A user's skill change trend may be determined according to a region in which user impact information generated in the last swing is located.

For example, the device 200 may include region I (growth) when the user impact information is above the trend line and above the average value in the last swing, region II (stagnant) when below the trend line and above the average value, region III (culling) when below the trend line and below the average value, If it is above the trend line and below the average value, it can be classified as region IV (improvement).

As an example, referring to FIG. 4B , the linear trend line 430 of the ball speed (s) has a positive slope and can be expressed as Equation 440 in a total of 18 tee shots that the user swings using the 1-wood. , the average value of the ball speed (s) was calculated as 49.65 m/s.

At this time, assuming that the impact information up to the 17th is impact information included in the user's record information, and assuming that the last swing, the 18th swing, is the user's first swing after starting a new game, the ball speed for the 18th swing is 50.77m/s on the trend line, and the average ball speed including the 18th swing is 49.65m/s. That is, in the 18th swing, the ball speed is positioned above the trend line and the average value, and in this case, the device 200 may determine that the user impact information belongs to area I and that the skill has 'growth'.

The apparatus 200 may calculate a swing score and an impact score by assigning a predetermined score to each area to which swing information and impact information belong. For example, Region I (growth) is worth 2 points, Region II (Stagnation) is worth 1 point, Region III (culling) is worth 0.5 points, and Region IV (Improvement) is worth 1.5 points.

5A and 5B are other exemplary diagrams for explaining a user's ability change trend determination.

The device 200 may calculate a user's skill change trend according to the map strategy information. For example, referring to FIG. 5A , the apparatus 200 provides a straight shortest path 540 consisting of at least one straight line connection from the teeing ground 520 to the hole cup 530 in the fairway 510 of the game map. ) can be calculated. At this time, the user's path 550 from the teeing ground 520 to the hole cup 530 created by the user's game progress is created as a path different from the shortest path 540, and may include a rough 560 area. .

At this time, the extension of the shortest path 540 and the user path 550 form a closed curve, and the device 200 may calculate an area 570 surrounded by the closed curve composed of the shortest path 540 and the user path 550. . The apparatus 200 may determine that a higher level of attack has been performed as the area 570 surrounded by the closed curve is closer to 0, which is calculated independently of swing information and impact information.

[Equation 1]

Meanwhile, when the user's swing information, impact information, and strategy information are determined as the user's ability change trend, the device 200 may calculate the game operation score through the following formula.

[Equation 2]

[Equation 3]

here GOS _n (Game Operation Score) is the game operation score at the nth hole, USS (User Swing Score) is the user swing score, UIS (User Impact Score) is the user impact score, and GOS is the average game operation score up to the kth hole. can mean Here, the user swing score and user impact score may be calculated based on user swing information and user impact information.

Meanwhile, when the game operation score is calculated, the apparatus 200 may provide differential rewards to each user according to the calculated game operation score.

The differential reward provided to the user can be calculated through the following formula.

[Equation 4]

Here, REW _adj is the differential reward, REW _total is the total amount of rewards to be paid to users who participated in the game, and GOS _mean is the average GOS of users who participated in the game.

For example, if 4 users played a game together and each consumed 1,000 points for the game, REW _total =4,000 , and users A, B, C, and D's GOS _A , GOS _B , GOS When _C and GOS _D are 2,000, 2,500, 5,000, and 500, the differential reward REW _adj that users can acquire may be 800, 1000, 2000, and 200, respectively.

In this way, the apparatus 200 calculates the user's game operation score based on the user's swing information, impact information, and strategy information as an indicator of the user's skill, and provides a reward to the user based on this, thereby making the game more realistic. As you progress, you will receive rewards that consider your own skills and the skills of your opponents, which will motivate you to actively progress in the game.

Meanwhile, the differential reward REW _adj is accumulated for each user, and may be accumulated in the form of goods identical to the participation fee consumed by the user when participating in the game, such as points. In addition, the device 200 may change points to other goods to the user through settlement in a predetermined period such as a day, a week, or a month according to a user's request or a management method.

In addition, the differential reward provided to the user may be determined according to a formula other than the above formula, and depending on whether it falls within a specific rank, it is ranked within a predetermined ratio among all users (participants), and / or a predetermined Differential determination may be made in consideration of whether or not a percentage score or higher was scored (earned).
