According to one embodiment, the location identification unit 101 measures the distance as the user points to a first area in the golf course through the distance measuring device 100 while carrying the distance measuring device 100. When the first area is output through the display of the device 100, a location confirmation process for the first area can be started.

According to one embodiment, the location identification unit 101 controls the GPS sensor, the light irradiation module, and the array light sensor among the plurality of sensors mounted in the measurement device 100 to determine the location of the first area pointed by the user. You can begin the verification process. In relation to the above, the location confirmation process may be a process performed to calculate the distance between the location where the user is located and the location of the first area.

A detailed explanation of how the location identification unit 101 performs the location confirmation process will be provided in FIG. 2.

According to one embodiment, as the location confirmation process for the first area is completed, the course identification unit 103 determines the first location of the user located in one area within the golf course and the location of the pointed first area. Once the identification of the second location is completed, the course on which the user is currently playing can be identified through map information previously stored in the database.

According to one embodiment, the course identification unit 103 performs the function of the location identification unit 101 to determine the first location of the user located in an area within the golf course and the location of the first area pointed by the user. 2 Once the location has been identified, the course on which the user is currently playing can be identified through the pre-stored map information 103a.

Generally, there are a plurality of rounding courses within a golf course, and the course identification unit 103 determines the course that the user is currently playing among the plurality of rounding courses based on the first location and the second location. It can be identified by analyzing the previously stored map information 103a. In more detail, the course identification unit 103 identifies the course the user is currently playing in the pre-stored map information 103a based on the point pointed by the user, and provides detailed map information corresponding to the identified course. It can be extracted. That is, the detailed map information may be information corresponding to an area included in the course that the user is currently playing among a plurality of rounding courses located on the pre-stored map information.

Accordingly, the location identification unit 101 can acquire a first sensing value based on the tilt value of the measuring device through the tilt sensor mounted on the measuring device 100, and detect the first sensing value of the first area through the geomagnetic sensor. A second sensing value based on the orientation value can be obtained, and a third sensing value based on the rotation angle of the measuring device 100 with respect to the first area can be obtained through the gyroscope.

Afterwards, the location identification unit 101 identifies whether the first area is an area where a slope exists through the first sensing value, and determines the direction of the user location reference for the first area through the second sensing value. By identifying and calculating a calibration value of the identified direction through the third sensing value, the first area that the user is pointing through the measuring device 100 can be accurately identified. Thereafter, when the distance information is reflected on the map information being output through the display by performing the function of the service provider 105, the measurement device 100 reflects the identification values to the map information, thereby Detailed location information about the location of the first area can also be output.

According to one embodiment, the temporary position prediction unit 403 is configured to operate the laser output control unit 403a (e.g., the laser output control unit 203 in FIG. 2) while the function of the direction identification unit 401 is performed. The position of the flag stick changed from the third position can be predicted based on the fourth position through the pointing position identification unit 403b (e.g., the pointing position identification unit 205 in FIG. 2).

In relation to the above, the existing distance measuring device has the problem of measuring the distance based on a background located behind the flag stick when measuring a long distance (e.g., 251 m or more).

Accordingly, in order to prevent the above problems, the present invention primarily allows the temporary position prediction unit 403 to determine the position of the flag stick changed through the laser output control unit 403a and the pointing position identification unit 403b. can be predicted based on the fourth position.

That is, the temporary position prediction unit 403 of the present invention temporarily uses the laser output control unit 403a and the pointing position identification unit ( Through 403b), the position of the changed flag stick can be predicted based on the fourth position.

For a detailed description of how the laser output control unit 403a and the pointing position identification unit 403b identify the position of the flag stick changed from the third position, refer to the process of identifying the second position in FIG. 2.

According to one embodiment, when the change location identification unit 405 completes the functions of the direction identification unit 401 and the temporary location prediction unit 403, the change location identification unit 405 determines the green location where the flag stick is located through the detailed map information. By identifying the outer coordinate value of , the changed position of the flag stick on the green can be identified as the fifth position and output through the display.

According to one embodiment, the change position identification unit 405 performs the function of the direction identification unit 401, and identifies the direction of the flag stick whose position has been changed based on the fourth position where the user is located. When the position of the flag stick whose position has been changed has been predicted by performing the function of the temporary position prediction unit 403, the outer coordinate value of the green where the flag stick is located can be identified through the detailed map information.

Accordingly, the change position identification unit 405 can confirm the coordinate value of the area of the green where the flag stick is located through the outer coordinate value.

Afterwards, the change position identification unit 405 reflects the direction of the identified flag stick and the predicted position of the flag stick on the green, which is confirmed based on the area coordinate value of the confirmed green, and generates a flag on the green. The changed position of the stick can be identified as the fifth position. The fifth location may be a configuration corresponding to latitude information and longitude information based on the changed position of the flag stick.

That is, the change position identification unit 405 confirms the area and shape of the green through the identified area coordinate values of the green, and reflects the direction of the identified flag stick and the predicted position of the flag stick. , By solving the problem of measuring the distance based on the background located behind the flag stick when measuring long distances (e.g., 251 m or more) with existing distance measuring devices, the 5th changed position of the flag stick on the green The location can be accurately identified.

In relation to the above, when the identification of the fifth location is completed, the change location identification unit 405 may output latitude information and longitude information based on the identified fifth location through the display.

According to one embodiment, when the identification of the fifth location is completed, the change location sharing unit 407 sends location change information based on the identified fifth location to an external server 407a previously linked with the distance measuring device. By transmitting to the external server, the location change information is provided to other users who are rounding the same course as the user, and the location change information is reflected in the detailed map information being output through the display of the other users' distance measuring devices. You can change the position of the flag stick to the fifth position.

According to one embodiment, when the change location sharing unit 407 completes the identification of the fifth location by performing the function of the change location identification unit 405, the change location sharing unit 407 provides latitude information corresponding to the identified fifth location and Based on longitude information, the location change information can be generated. Afterwards, the change location sharing unit 407 may transmit the generated location change information to the previously linked external server 407a.

In relation to the above, the previously linked external server 407a, upon receiving location change information from the change location sharing unit 407, identifies the distance measurement devices of other users who are rounding the same course as the user, The received location change information may be transmitted to the distance measuring devices of the other identified users.

Accordingly, the other users' distance measuring device reflects the location change information received from the external server in the detailed map information being output through the display, so that other users who are rounding the same course as the user also see the changed location of the flag stick. You can check the fifth position.

According to one embodiment, the location change information includes latitude information and longitude information corresponding to the fifth location, and at the same time identifies in which direction and by how much the flag stick has moved to the fifth location compared to the existing third location. It may include movement direction information and movement distance information to do so.

In other words, even if the position of the flag stick located in one area of the golf course changes, the distance measuring device immediately provides position change information about the flag stick whose position has changed to the user located within the golf course, allowing for rounding within the golf course. The user can immediately check the location of the changed flag stick.

Figure 5 is a block diagram illustrating an external server already linked to a distance measuring device that provides distance measurement and terrain prediction services for a flag stick installed in a golf course according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a distance measuring device that provides a distance measurement and terrain prediction service for a flag stick installed in a golf course implemented as a computing device including one or more processors and one or more memories storing instructions executable by the processor. (For example, the measuring device 100 in FIG. 1) may be already linked to the external server 500. In relation to the above, the external server 500 may be a database server such as a platform, golf course, or consignment company that manages the distance measuring device.

According to one embodiment, the external server 500 may include a pointing density confirmation unit 501 and a recommendation area information provider 503.

According to one embodiment, when the pointing density confirmation unit 501 receives pointing area information 501a generated based on the area pointed by a plurality of users located in the golf course through a distance measuring device, the reception By gathering the pointing area information, the density of each area within the golf course pointed by the plurality of users can be confirmed.

According to one embodiment, the pointing area information 501a is latitude and longitude information about an area that users using a golf course point to through a distance measuring device, for example, the first area pointed by the user. It may be latitude information and longitude information based on the second location, and may be latitude information and longitude information of an area that the user points to in order to determine the terrain in advance to hit a golf shot.

According to one embodiment, when the pointing density confirmation unit 501 completes receiving the pointing area information 501a, it checks latitude information and longitude information based on the received pointing area information, and determines each area within the golf course. You can gather points that users point to.

In relation to the above, the pointing density confirmation unit 501 gathers the points that the user points to through a distance measuring device for each area within the golf course based on the pointing area information, thereby determining the pointing density for each area within the golf course. You can check it. Accordingly, the pointing density confirmation unit 501 can categorize the pointing density for each region within the confirmed golf course by region.

According to one embodiment, when the recommended area information provider 503 completes checking the density of each area pointed by the plurality of users by performing the function of the pointing density checking unit 501, the recommended area information provider 503 determines the density of each area pointed by the plurality of users. Based on the density of each area, a recommended pointing area may be identified, and recommended area information based on the identified recommended pointing area may be provided to the distance measuring device for each of the plurality of users.

According to one embodiment, when the recommended area information provider 503 completes confirming the density (e.g., pointing density) for each area within the golf course pointed by the plurality of users, each confirmed area is Recommended pointing areas can be identified based on density.

According to one embodiment, when identifying the recommended pointing area, the recommended area information provider 503 may identify the most pointed point for each area through the density of each area and identify it as the recommended pointing area. .

Afterwards, the recommended area information provider 503 may generate recommended area information based on the identified recommended pointing area and transmit it to the distance measuring device of users pointing to an area within the golf course.

For example, when the recommended area information provider 503 receives information about the second location or the fifth location identified by the first user from the first user's distance measuring device, the received second location or It may be identified that the area within the golf course pointed by the first user is the second area through the latitude information and longitude information based on the fifth location. Accordingly, the recommended area information provider 503 provides recommended area information based on the recommended pointing area corresponding to the point most pointed by other users (point with the highest density) in the identified second area. 1 Can be transmitted to the user's distance measuring device.

The recommended area information transmitted to the first user's distance measuring device is reflected in the detailed map information being output through the display, and the most pointed area in the second area can be recommended to the user.

Figure 6 is another block diagram for explaining the service provision unit of a distance measurement device that provides distance measurement and terrain prediction services for a flag stick installed in a golf course according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a distance measuring device that provides a distance measurement and terrain prediction service for a flag stick installed in a golf course implemented as a computing device including one or more processors and one or more memories storing instructions executable by the processor. (eg, the measuring device 100 of FIG. 1) may include a service providing unit (eg, the service providing unit 105 of FIG. 1).

According to one embodiment, when the service provider 600 completes the function of the course identification unit (e.g., the course identification unit 103 in FIG. 1), it moves the position of the flag stick of the identified course to the third position. By identification, distance information between the first to third locations is generated and reflected on the previously stored map information, and a screen reflecting the distance information can be output through the display.

According to one embodiment, the service provider 600 has a detailed configuration for performing the above-described functions, and includes a flag stick location identification unit (e.g., the flag stick location identification unit 301 in FIG. 3) and a distance calculation provider. (For example, the distance calculation providing unit 303 in FIG. 3) may be included. In relation to the above, please refer to FIG. 3 for a detailed description of the flag stick position identification unit and the distance calculation providing unit.

According to one embodiment, the service providing unit 600 may further include a tilt confirmation unit 601 and a terrain information providing unit 603 as a detailed configuration for performing other functions in addition to the functions described above.

According to one embodiment, the tilt confirmation unit 601 is a tilt sensor mounted on the distance measurement device when the user points to the first area through the distance measurement device before the function of the distance calculation provider is performed. When it is determined that (601a) is operated, the sensing value of the operated tilt sensor can be confirmed.

According to one embodiment, when the tilt confirmation unit 601a identifies that the tilt sensor 601a in addition to the geomagnetic sensor and the gyroscope is operated when the user points to the first area through the distance measuring device, The sensing value obtained from the operated tilt sensor 601a can be confirmed.

According to one embodiment, when the terrain information provider 603 confirms that the confirmed sensing value exceeds a specified reference value when the function of the tilt confirmation unit 601 is completed, the detailed map By identifying the terrain information of the first area through the information, the distance calculation provider may reflect the identified terrain information 603a together when reflecting the distance information in the detailed map information.

According to one embodiment, when confirmation of the sensing value of the tilt sensor 601a is completed, the terrain information provider 603 may check whether the confirmed sensing value exceeds a designated reference value. At this time, the designated reference value may be composed of a positive reference value and a negative reference value.

In relation to the above, the positive reference value is that when the user points to one of the areas in the golf course through the distance measuring device and lifts the distance measuring device in an upward diagonal direction, the area is an inclined area, so the tilt sensor The sensing value obtained by (201a) may be a positive sensing value. At this time, the reference value of the designated amount clearly determines that the reason the distance measuring device is lifted in an upward diagonal direction by the user is to point to an area of a sloping hill. It may be a reference value for doing so.

Accordingly, when the terrain information provider 603 identifies that the sensing value exceeds a designated reference value, it determines that the user is pointing to a sloping hill through a distance measuring device and determines that the user is pointing to a sloping hill through a distance measuring device and determines the pointing value in the detailed map information. You can identify the topographical information of the area you are working on. In relation to the above, the terrain information 603a may be information including the slope of the hill and the height of the hill.

In addition, the negative reference value is that when a user located on a hill points to one of the areas within the golf course through a distance measuring device and lowers the distance measuring device in a downward diagonal direction, the area is located in a downward direction from the ground where the user is located. Since it is a located area, the sensing value obtained by the tilt sensor 201a may be a negative sensing value. At this time, the specified negative reference value means that the terrain information provider 603 indicates that the reason the distance measuring device is lowered in a downward diagonal direction by the user is because the user located on the hill is pointing to an area located in the downward direction. It may be a reference value for making a clear decision.

Accordingly, when the terrain information provider 603 identifies that the sensing value exceeds the designated reference value, it determines that the user located on the hill is pointing to the area located below through the distance measuring device and provides the detailed Topographic information of the area being pointed can be identified from the map information. In relation to the above, the terrain information may be information including the height between the area located in the downward direction and the hill, and the slope between the area located in the downward direction and the hill.

According to one embodiment, when the function of the terrain information provider 603 and the distance calculation provider is completed, the service provider 600 uses at least one of a temperature sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor mounted on the distance measuring device. While driving and transmitting environmental information including temperature and atmospheric pressure for the first location to the external server, the external server performs a round within the golf course based on the user's average distance information and environmental information previously stored. When the user's predicted distance is calculated and transmitted to the distance measuring device, the predicted distance can be output through the display.

According to another embodiment, when the function of the terrain information provider 603 and the distance calculation provider is completed, the service provider 600 uses at least one of a temperature sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor mounted on the distance measuring device. By driving, environmental information including temperature and atmospheric pressure for the first location can be identified. At this time, the service provider 600 may calculate the predicted distance of the user who is rounding within the golf course through the identified environment information and the user's average distance information stored in the database of the distance measuring device.

In relation to the above, the service provider 600 may identify the average value of the distance calculated as the user points the ball located in a specific area after multiple golf shots as the user's average distance. Accordingly, the service provider 600 may calculate the user's predicted distance by analyzing the environmental information and the user's average distance, which is the average value of the distance the ball flew calculated by the distance measuring device. At this time, the service provider 600 may calculate the user's predicted distance by analyzing the environmental information and the user's average distance using the same algorithm as the predicted distance calculation algorithm used by the external server.

Accordingly, the service provider 600 may output the calculated user's predicted distance through the display of the distance measurement device.

According to one embodiment, as the service provider 600 completes the functions of the terrain information provider 603 and the distance calculation provider, the distance information and terrain information are reflected in detail through the display of the distance measuring device. In a state in which map information is output, at least one of a temperature sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor mounted on the distance measuring device may be driven.

Accordingly, the service provider 600 generates environmental information including at least one of temperature information based on the temperature of the area where the user is located from the temperature sensor and barometric pressure information based on the air pressure of the area where the user is located from the air pressure sensor. can do. Afterwards, the service provider 600 may transmit the generated environmental information to a previously linked external server.

In relation to the above, when the external server receives the environmental information from the distance measuring device, it can check the user's previously stored average distance information. At this time, the confirmed average distance information may be information based on the distance of a golf shot of a user who performed a round at a specific temperature and specific atmospheric pressure.

According to one embodiment, when confirmation of the average distance information is completed, the external server analyzes the distance based on at least one of temperature and atmospheric pressure based on the environmental information and one of a specific temperature and specific atmospheric pressure based on the average distance information. Thus, a user currently playing a round can calculate the predicted distance when making a golf shot. The formula for calculating the distance may be different for each management company that operates an external server (different because the terrain and wind direction are different for each golf course).

Accordingly, the external server transmits predicted distance information based on the predicted distance to the user's distance measurement device, causing the service provider 600 to output the predicted distance information received from the external server through the display. You can.

According to another embodiment, the service provider 600 is capable of outputting detailed map information reflecting distance information and terrain information and the predicted distance information through the display of the distance measuring device, and a user linked to the distance measuring device By transmitting detailed map information reflecting distance information and terrain information and the predicted distance information to electronic devices (e.g., smart phones and tablets) and outputting them through the display of the electronic device, the distance information and terrain information are reflected to the user. Detailed map information and the predicted distance information can be provided.

At this time, a separate application may be installed on the electronic device to output detailed map information reflecting distance information and terrain information and the predicted distance information, and may be separately installed on an external server and a distance measuring device through the separate application. You can transmit information or receive separate information from external servers and distance measuring devices.
