Additionally, the shapes of elements shown in the drawings may change somewhat due to variations in the manufacturing process. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in this specification should not be limited to the shapes shown in the drawings unless otherwise specified, and should be understood to include some degree of modification.

1 is a diagram showing the schematic structure of a virtual golf device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the virtual golf device includes a hitting plate 10, a control unit 20, a detection unit 30, an input unit 40, a sound unit 50, and a display unit 60.

The hitting plate 10 is an area where the user is positioned to hit a golf ball. Although not shown in the drawing, an auto tee that can move up and down is installed on the hitting plate 10, so that the user can use the hitting golf ball through the auto tee. The ball may be provided automatically.

The control unit 20 controls the overall operation of each component of the virtual golf device. For example, the control unit 20 can control the auto tee installed on the hitting plate 10 so that a golf ball for hitting is provided from the auto tee according to the time when the user hits. The control unit 20 includes a calculation unit 21, an image processing unit 22, a setting unit 23, and a storage unit 24. The calculation unit 21 calculates a trajectory assuming that the golf ball flies in the physical state based on the physical state of the golf ball hit by the user. The image processing unit 22 forms a golf-related image, and the formed image is transmitted to the display unit 60 and displayed to the user. The setting unit 23 serves to set a customized hitting point for the user before the user hits. The storage unit 24 stores various data necessary for the operation of the calculation unit 21, the image processing unit 22, and the setting unit 23.

The detection unit 30 is used to determine physical state information about a golf club/golf ball by detecting the movement of the golf club or the movement of the golf ball hit by the user when hitting a golf ball. ), sensing means such as a camera or detection sensor that can film the movement of a golf club or golf ball can be used. Various sensing methods such as image sensing, light emission/reception sensing, and laser sensing may be applied to the sensing means, and through these sensing methods, the movement of the golf club or the state information of the golf ball hit by the user can be determined. The cameras, detection sensors, etc. may be used alone or together, and only one unit may be used, or multiple units may be used as needed.

The input unit 40 is used to receive various information from the user, and a keyboard or mouse can be used. A login system that requires the user to log in before providing the service may be applied to screen golf. When the login system is applied, the user must enter his or her ID or password, and the input unit 40 may be used at this time. Additionally, the input unit 40 can be used in screen golf, such as when the user selects the golf course he or she wants to play or the difficulty level of play.

The sound unit 50 may include an audio device such as a speaker, and provides a comment guiding the user about the progress of the game or various sound effects according to the progress of the game.

The display unit 60 includes devices such as a projector and screen. The projector projects the golf course and golf ball images onto the screen so that they can be displayed on the screen, and the screen displays the projected images to show the user.

The virtual golf device is a device that is installed on a screen golf course to allow screen golf to be played. When a user plays screen golf, the operation process of the virtual golf device is as follows. When the user hits a golf ball, the sensor 30 detects the physical state, such as the movement of the golf club or the speed or direction of movement of the golf ball hit by the user. The information detected by the detection unit 30 is transmitted to the control unit 20, and the calculation unit 21 of the control unit 20 assumes that the user has hit a golf ball on an outdoor actual golf course based on the transmitted information. Calculate what kind of trajectory the golf ball will show at this time. The trajectory of a golf ball can be calculated only by the movement of the golf ball, or it can be calculated by taking into account the movement of the golf club at the time of hitting. When the calculation process is completed, the image processing unit 22 of the control unit 20 produces an image of a virtual golf ball (herein, the golf ball in the screen image may be called a ‘virtual golf ball’) moving according to the calculated trajectory. The formed image is displayed by the display unit 60, and at this time, the virtual golf ball flies along the calculated trajectory and then the virtual golf course in the screen (in this specification, the golf course in the screen image is referred to as 'virtual golf course'). It lands at a specific point on the golf course (can be named 'golf course'), and the user continues the next hit from the point where the virtual golf ball landed.

The virtual golf device according to an embodiment of the present invention can calculate the position that the virtual golf ball can reach by hitting the golf ball from the point where the virtual golf ball is currently located on the virtual golf course and provide this to the user. . In other words, before the user hits the golf ball, it is possible to provide a point to target when hitting. In this regard, the terms 'hitting point', 'target point', and 'target point' are used in this specification. The striking point includes the target point and the attack point. The target point represents a striking point that can be set regardless of who the user is, and the attack point indicates who the user is/what situation the user is currently in. It represents a user-customized hitting point that can be set to reflect various requirements such as.

The user can select whether to provide a hitting point, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen for setting a hitting point.

Referring to FIG. 2, a menu for selecting various play options is displayed on the screen (or, although not shown in the drawing, a separate display such as a kiosk may be provided, and a menu for selecting play options on the separate display) may be displayed). Here, the play options may include options that apply to individual users playing screen golf and round options that apply to all users playing together. For example, referring to Figure 2(a), the tee color or tee height for a tee shot can be selected as a personal option, and referring to Figure 2(b), the position of the hole cup or the slope of the green can be selected as a round option. can be selected. As shown in Figures 2(a) and (b), the user can select whether to provide a strategy point while setting the personal option or the round option. Although not shown in the drawing, the user can select whether to provide a target point other than the target point among the striking points.

Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the hitting point setting process, Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the internal structure of the storage unit of Figure 1, and Figures 5 to 8 show the environment during play that can affect hitting point setting. It is a diagram illustrating an example of the requirements or terrain requirements of a virtual golf course where play is in progress. Figures 9 to 14 are diagrams showing examples of various screens showing the hitting point setting results, and Figure 15 is the hitting point setting results. This is a diagram illustrating an example of guidance by voice, and FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen showing hitting results in advance in the virtual golf device of FIG. 1.

Referring to Figure 3, the setting process of the hitting point includes the first to ninth steps (S1-S9). In the first step (S1), the user who wants to play screen golf logs in, so that the virtual golf device can verify the user's identity. Various types of data can be used to set a strike point, especially a user-customized attack point. If two different types of data are used to set the attack point, the two types of data are named first requirement data and second requirement data, respectively. Here, the first requirement includes requirements for the user's golf skills, and the second requirement includes situation requirements for the virtual golf ball as play progresses. Here, situational requirements may include environmental requirements, topographical requirements of the golf course, requirements for the position of the golf ball on the golf course, etc.

In the second step (S2), first requirement data is loaded so that the first requirement data can be used. Referring to FIG. 4, the storage unit 24 has a storage area divided for each user, and the user's personal information and play information can be stored in the storage area for each user. Personal information that can identify the user may be stored in the personal information, and past play records of the user may be stored in the play information. If the user's identity is confirmed in the first step (S1), the setting unit 23 may extract the first requirement data of the logged in user from the storage unit 24. That is, the user's past play records are stored in the storage unit 24, and the setting unit 23 can extract the past play records and use the extracted results when setting a strategy point later. In this way, by securing the necessary data in advance when setting a target point, the operation time required to set a target point can be reduced. The first requirement data includes individual records from past plays on the virtual golf course the user is currently playing and/or past play from virtual golf courses other than the virtual golf course currently being played; It may include personal records of golf skills calculated from the above individual records, etc. (distance for each golf club, statistics on shot pitch direction for each golf club, average number of strokes, fairway landing rate, green accuracy, average number of putts, etc.).

In the third step (S3), the user's golf play begins. When golf play begins, the user starts with a tee shot against a virtual golf ball placed on the teeing ground on the screen and hits the golf ball until the virtual golf ball on the screen is holed into the hole cup.

When the user's golf play begins, each time the user hits a golf ball, the fourth and fifth steps (S4, S5) are executed before the hit. In the fourth step (S4), the target point is set, and in the fifth step (S5), the target point is displayed. The target point can be set based on the location of the hole cup, which is the final target, in the virtual golf course, without any or significant consideration of the user's personal characteristics or situational variables in the current playing situation. For example, if the hole cup for the virtual golf ball on the screen is in a position where a hole can be made with one shot, the position of the hole cup can be set as the target point in most cases. Also, in cases where it is difficult to make a hole-in with a single shot from the current position of the virtual golf ball on the screen, such as a driver shot, set a point a certain distance away from the current virtual golf ball position in the direction of the hole cup as the target point. This can be displayed on the screen, and here, the predetermined distance can be set by taking into account the average flying distance of users' driver shots. For example, assuming that the current user is male and that the average distance of a typical male amateur golfer's driver shot is about 200m, the target point at the driver shot stage can be set to a point 200m ahead in the direction of the hole cup from the current virtual golf ball position. there is.

According to this embodiment, a target point may be provided to the user in addition to the target point (the user may be allowed to select whether to provide the target point and/or the target point). Unlike the target point, the attack point may be set in consideration of the user's personal characteristics (first requirement data) and/or situational variables in the current playing situation (second requirement data). For example, if there are users A and B preparing for a tee shot, the target point can be set as a point 200m ahead from the tee box toward the hole cup for both users A and B. In contrast, if user A's average driver distance is 220m and user B's average driver distance is 180m, the target point is set to be 220m ahead from the tee box in the hole cup direction for user A, and for user B, it is set to be a point 220 m ahead in the direction from the tee box to the hole cup. It can be set to a point 180m ahead. Additionally, if the situational variables in the current play are reflected, the attack point may be set differently for the same user A depending on the situation at that time. For example, if the current play is in clear weather, the target point for User A is set to a point 220m ahead from the tee box toward the hole cup, but the current situation is rain that may interfere with the flight of the golf ball. In the case of incoming weather, the target point for user A may be set at a distance shorter than the point 220m ahead from the tee box in the direction of the hole cup.

As above, the target point is the user's personal characteristics (golf skills), which can be called the first requirement data, and/or situational variables in the current playing situation (the terrain characteristics of the point where the golf ball is placed), which can be called the second requirement data. , weather, etc.) can be set in consideration. The sixth and seventh steps (S6, S7) are executed to set the attack point. In the sixth step (S6), the data necessary for setting the target point (second requirement data) is loaded, and in the seventh step (S7), the target point is set using the first and/or second requirement data. Below, we explain some examples of various requirements that can be reflected in setting attack points.

Referring to FIG. 5, it is assumed that the user's virtual golf ball (GB) on the screen is located in the green area during the putting stage. A flagpole (F) is placed in the hole cup that is the target for putting. When setting the striking point at the current stage, the target point is set to the location (P1) where the flagpole (F) is placed. In this regard, the target point may be set to a location (P2) different from the location (P1) where the flagpole (F) is placed, taking into account the topographical characteristics of the green area. For example, if the green area slopes from the right area to the left area, when the user putsts targeting the location of the hole cup (position of the target point (P1)), the virtual golf ball (GB) is in the green area. Due to the inclination of the hole cup, it bends to the left and moves along the first path (S1), and the putting may fail. In contrast, when the user targets the location of the target point (P2) and putst considering the slope of the green area, the virtual golf ball (GB) bends in the slope direction and moves along the second path (S2) to putt. can succeed. In this way, the target point is a situational variable in which the virtual golf ball (GB) is before hitting, and can be set by taking into account terrain characteristics such as the slope of the green area between the virtual golf ball (GB) and the hole cup.

Referring to FIG. 6, it is assumed that in the tee shot stage, the target point is set while the user's virtual golf ball (GB) on the screen is located in the tee box. If Figure 6(a) shows a situation where the wind is not blowing on the virtual golf course currently being played and Figure 6(b) shows a situation where the wind is blowing, as shown in Figure 6(a), there is no wind. In this situation, the location of the target point (P1) may be set by considering the average driver distance of the user currently playing. If the location of the target point (P1) in a windless situation is referred to as the first location for convenience, the next hit among a plurality of points that are as far away as the average distance of the user's driver shot from the tee box location of the virtual golf ball (GB) The first position can be set by appropriately selecting a point that is advantageous for reaching the hole cup. As shown in FIG. 6(b), in a windy situation, a second location different from the first location may be set as the location P2 of the target point. For example, if a wind of 1.38 m/s is blowing from left to right, the second location may be selected as a location to the left of the first location. Even if the second position is disadvantageous in next hitting compared to the first position, if the second position is targeted and hit, the virtual golf ball (GB) can reach the first position due to the influence of the wind blowing from left to right. , taking this into account, the second location can be set as the attack point. If the wind speed is stronger or weaker, the second location can be moved further left or right from the current location. If the wind blows in an oblique direction rather than in a horizontal direction, the oblique direction is divided into a horizontal component and a vertical component, then the first position is changed to the horizontal direction according to the horizontal component and the vertical component is changed to the horizontal direction. Accordingly, the second position can be set by changing the first position in the vertical direction.

Referring to FIG. 7, before the user hits, the target point can be set according to the terrain properties of the point where the virtual golf ball is located on the virtual golf course currently being played. For example, the first virtual golf ball (GB1) is located in the terrain of the first attribute, the second virtual golf ball (GB2) is located in the terrain of the second attribute, and the third virtual golf ball (GB2) is located in the terrain of the third attribute. Assume that a golf ball (GB3) is located. Here, the first to third attributes represent different terrain attributes. For example, the first attribute may represent a fairway, the second attribute may represent a rough, and the third attribute may represent a bunker. Since the virtual golf course on the screen is formed by almost exactly replicating the actual golf course, various topography features such as fairways, rough, and bunkers provided in the actual golf course can be reproduced as is on the virtual golf course on the screen. Therefore, the virtual golf ball on the screen that corresponds to the actual golf ball hit by the user may land on the fairway, rough, bunker, etc. in the virtual golf course. The fairway is an area of relatively short grass, the rough is an area of relatively long, unmaintained grass, and the bunker is an area of sand. A golf ball lying on the fairway is easy to hit, making hitting difficult less difficult, while a golf ball lying in the rough has a higher hitting difficulty compared to the fairway because the long grass interferes with hitting, and in bunkers, hitting is difficult because sand splashes out and interferes with hitting. Bunkers are more difficult than fairways or rough. Since the difficulty of hitting may vary depending on the properties of the terrain where the virtual golf ball is placed, the terrain properties of the point where the virtual golf ball is currently placed can be reflected when setting the target point. For example, considering that the difficulty of hitting the first virtual golf ball (GB1) lying on the fairway is low, the landing position (P1), which has the longest distance compared to the second and third virtual golf balls (GB2 and GB3), is selected. It can be set as an attack point. In addition, considering that the third virtual golf ball (GB3) placed in the bunker has the highest hitting difficulty, the landing position (P3) with the shortest flight distance compared to the first and second virtual golf balls (GB1 and GB2) was selected. It is set as a target point, and considering that the second virtual golf ball (GB2) lying in the rough has a difficulty level of hitting between the fairway and the bunker, the first and third virtual golf balls (GB1, GB3) You can set the landing position (P2) of a medium distance as the attack point.

Here, it is said that the first attribute represents the fairway, the second attribute represents the rough, and the third attribute represents the bunker. However, the first to third attributes may represent not only the fairway/rough/bunker but also other terrain characteristics. there is. For example, the first to third virtual golf balls (GB1, GB2, GB3) are all in the fairway, but the first virtual golf ball (GB1) lies on flat terrain and the second virtual golf ball (GB2) It is assumed that is placed on a gently sloping terrain and the third virtual golf ball (GB3) is placed on a steep sloping terrain. In this case, considering that the greater the slope, the higher the hitting difficulty, the landing position (P1) with the longest flight distance for the first virtual golf ball (GB1) compared to the second and third virtual golf balls (GB2, GB3) ) is set as the target point, and considering that the hitting difficulty for the third virtual golf ball (GB3) is the highest, the landing position (with the shortest distance compared to the first and second virtual golf balls (GB1, GB2)) is set as the target point. P3) is set as the target point, and considering that the second virtual golf ball (GB2) has a medium difficulty in hitting, the first and third virtual golf balls (GB1, GB3) land at a medium distance. You can set the location (P2) as the attack point.

Referring to FIG. 8, the target point can be set by taking into account whether the next hit is advantageous/unfavorable when making a next hit at the target point. For example, assume that the user's virtual golf ball (GB) is outside the green area and the user attempts to go on-green (hitting the golf ball and causing the golf ball to land on the green area). If the topographical characteristics of the green area are not taken into consideration, golfers generally hit the golf ball by landing as close to the hole cup as possible or attempting to hole-in directly into the hole cup. Therefore, you can usually target the location of the hole cup, but in reality, it is very rare for a golf ball hit from outside the green area to directly hole into the hole cup, and most golf balls that hit the green area roll a certain distance away from the green area. It stops after going. If the green area has a slope, the golf ball may be affected by the slope while rolling in the green area.

According to this embodiment, when the user attempts to go on the green, rather than setting the position of the hole cup (P1) as the target point, considering that the possibility of directly holeing into the hole cup is very low, the possibility of hole-in is realistically higher. You can set a high point as a target point. For example, if the green area near the hole cup slopes from the area to the left of the hole cup toward the area where the hole cup is (direction of the dotted arrow in FIG. 8), as shown in FIG. 8, the area where the virtual golf ball (GB) is drawn After reaching , you can roll along the slope and set the location (P2), which may result in a hole-in, as the target point.

We have explained several methods for setting attack points using the first and second requirement data, etc., but the methods described here are just a few examples and you can set attack points using various other requirements not mentioned here. there is. In addition, the requirements for setting the attack point mentioned here can be used individually or various requirements can be used in combination to set the attack point. Among the first and second requirement data used to set the target point, the first requirement data is related to the user's golf skills and is not directly related to the current play situation. In contrast, the second requirement data relates to the location of the point where the virtual golf ball is placed on the screen, the properties of the terrain, and current weather conditions such as wind/precipitation, etc., which can change at any moment depending on the current play situation. . Since the first requirement data is not related to the current play situation, it is secured in advance in the second step (S2). Since the second requirement data is determined according to the play situation after the user's play begins, the second requirement data is a virtual After determining what situation the virtual golf ball is in on the golf course, it can be secured in the sixth step (S6). Since at least part of the first requirement data can be secured in advance, the operation time required to set the attack point can be reduced.

Referring again to FIG. 3, when the target point is set, the eighth and ninth steps (S8, S9) are executed and the result of setting the target point is displayed. In the eighth step (S8), the process of changing the previously displayed target point to a target point can be displayed, and in the ninth step (S9), the target point is displayed. Below, we will explain some examples of various ways in which the setting results of the attack point are displayed.

Referring to FIG. 9, the location of the hole cup (point where the flagpole is placed) may be displayed as the target point on the screen. In addition, the path from the position of the golf ball to the hole cup in the screen image (yellow straight line indicated by a dotted line in Figure 9) can be displayed, and thus the user can easily recognize the target point and the hitting path to the target point. .

Referring to FIG. 10, when setting a target point according to the first and second requirement data, a message notifying that the target point setting process is in progress may be displayed on the screen during the setting process. As shown in Figure 10, the message contains the supporting data used to set a new target point (target point) (golf skill statistics (belonging to the first requirement data), environmental factors (belonging to the second requirement data) )) can specify what it is.

Referring to Figure 11, when the setting process is completed, the target point is displayed. In order to emphasize that a new user-customized target point has been set in consideration of the user's golf ability and various play environment factors, as shown in FIG. 11, the existing target point (the end of the yellow straight line indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 11) ) and a new target point (the end of the pink straight line indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 11) can be displayed together, and an indication that the target point has been changed to a target point (white arrow in FIG. 11) can be displayed.

Figures 12 to 15 show several different methods of providing attack points. Referring to Figure 12, the main screen within the screen may display only the target point without displaying the existing target point. Additionally, while displaying the target point, the distance or height information between the current position of the golf ball on the screen and the target point can be displayed. A sub-screen within the screen (a screen displayed in some area, such as the edge of the screen, rather than the center of the screen) displays a mini-map representing at least part of the virtual golf course currently being played in a reduced scale. The mini-map shows the target point. A mark indicating that the point has been changed to the current target (white arrow on the minimap in FIG. 12) can be displayed.

Referring to Figure 13, the main screen within the screen may display only the target point without displaying the existing target point. Additionally, while displaying the target point, the distance or height information between the current position of the golf ball on the screen and the target point can be displayed. A mini-map is displayed on the sub-screen within the screen, and you can prevent the display of the target point before changing to the current target point from being displayed anywhere on the main screen or sub-screen.

Referring to Figure 14, the main screen in the screen may display only the target point without displaying the existing target point. Additionally, while displaying the target point, the distance or height information between the current position of the golf ball on the screen and the target point can be displayed. Additionally, when multiple users are playing together, the target points of the user currently preparing to strike as well as the target points of other users can be displayed together. For example, when users A and B are playing together, and user A is preparing to strike, user A's target point as well as user B's target point can be displayed together. Since the setting of the target point reflects the user's own golf skills, the target points for users A and B may be different even if they hit a virtual golf ball at the same location depending on the user's golf skill. Users can indirectly compare the difference in golf skills between themselves and their opponent by comparing their own and the opponent's target points. On the other hand, if you only have data on golf skills, it is possible to display the target points of others other than the user currently playing, so after securing the golf skill data of a famous professional golfer, you can use this to display the target points of the user currently playing. You can also display the strategic points of famous golfers. Users can indirectly check their golf skills by comparing their target points with those of famous golfers.

Referring to Figure 15(a), a 'target point' is displayed on the screen, and in addition, a virtual caddy appears at the edge of the screen to provide comments regarding selection of the target point. The comment may be displayed as a text message on the screen, provided as a voice through the sound unit 50, or provided as text/voice simultaneously. As shown in FIG. 15(b), the comment may include a brief explanation of the factors that had a particular influence on setting the attack point and how the attack point was set based on this factor.

Above, the process of setting and providing a hitting point including a target point and a capture point (the first to ninth steps (S1-S9) of FIG. 3) has been described. The process described above is one embodiment. And it is not necessarily necessary to set the hitting point in the same way as the above process. For example, as a modified example of the above-mentioned process, the step of informing that the target point is being changed to the capture point (the eighth step (S8) in FIG. 3, the step shown in FIG. 10) can be omitted, Alternatively, the step of displaying the target point (steps 4 and 5 (S4, S5) in FIG. 3 and steps shown in FIG. 9) can be omitted and only the target point is displayed from the beginning.

By using the process of setting and displaying attack points, it is possible to provide users with a service that shows the results of the strike currently being prepared in advance. It is said that when setting a target point, first requirement data such as the user's golf skills and second requirement data reflecting the situation where the virtual golf ball is placed on the screen can be used. The first and second requirements used when setting the target point are used. Requirement data can also serve as basis for predicting the result of hitting a golf ball when the user hits the golf ball at the current location. Therefore, if you use the process of setting the target point as is or perform simulation (simulated hitting) using the first and second requirement data as input variables, the hitting result when the user hits the golf ball at the current location is It is predictable.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen showing hitting results in advance in the virtual golf device of FIG. 1. When predicting the user's hitting result using the method described above, etc., the predicted hitting result can be provided to the user through a menu such as 'shot preview' before the user's hitting. The user's shot is divided into hitting, which causes the golf ball to fly before it reaches the green area, and putting, which rolls the golf ball so that it enters the hole cup when the golf ball is located in the green area. When showing the hitting result in advance, as shown in FIG. 16(a), a preview of the hit that causes the user to launch the golf ball and fly away, and as shown in FIG. 16(b), the user sees a preview of the hit that causes the golf ball to fly. We can provide a full preview of the putt that rolls into the hole cup.

After checking the result of the shot preview, the user can supplement the hitting strategy if the predicted result is negative to ensure a positive result in the actual hitting.

Figure 17 is a diagram showing the schematic structure of a virtual golf device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 17, the virtual golf device according to this embodiment includes a plurality of practice booths 101, 102, and 103. Each practice booth (101, 102, and 103) is configured identically. For example, the first practice booth 101 has a hitting plate 101a, a simulator device 101b with a kiosk screen, a screen 101c, etc., and the other practice booths 102 and 103 also have the same components. there is. Although not shown in the drawings, each practice booth (101, 102, 103) is further equipped with other devices, including cameras for detecting the movement of golf balls. In each booth (101, 102, 103), multiple users can take turns playing golf. Alternatively, in each booth (101, 102, 103), the user can play solo while being separated from users of other booths. The simulator device 101b of the virtual golf device according to this embodiment may be provided with a setting unit that is the same or similar to the one described above, and through the setting unit, the target point and/or target point can be set and provided to the user before the user hits. You can. In addition, the user's hitting results can be predicted by using the process of setting the target point and provided to the user through the 'Shot Preview' menu. The user can select whether to provide the target/capture point or shot preview service, and the menu screen for the selection may be displayed on at least one of the screen 101c and the kiosk screen of the simulator device 101b. there is.

Figure 18 is a diagram showing the schematic structure of a system in which a plurality of virtual golf devices are connected through a network.

Referring to FIG. 18, a system in which virtual golf devices are connected through a network includes a plurality of screen golf courses 100 and service devices 200. The screen golf course 100 is equipped with a virtual golf device as shown in FIGS. 1 and 17 to enable screen golf play. The virtual golf device provided in the screen golf course 100 is connected to the service device 200 through a wired or wireless communication network. Each screen golf course 100 serves as a service provider that provides screen golf services to users when they log in. The service device 200 may be a central server used by a service provider operating a plurality of screen golf courses 100 to manage virtual golf devices provided in the plurality of screen golf courses 100. A user who wishes to use the screen golf service first logs in to receive the service, and the service device 200 verifies the user's identity when logging in and determines whether to approve the login. The service device 200 is equipped with a storage unit 210 that stores information necessary to verify the user's identity.

In the storage unit 210, information about a plurality of users may be stored separately for each user. Personal information, play information, setting information, etc. may be stored in the storage area for each user. The personal information is used to verify the identity of the user and can be used in the login process, etc. The play information may include the user's individual records of past plays or the user's personal records (average distance for each club, average number of strokes, etc.) that can be obtained from individual records of past plays. The setting information includes information about settings made by the user. For example, the golf course the user has played in the past, play difficulty level, play method, preferred operating conditions, etc. can be stored as setting information. The user may find it annoying to enter various options every time he plays, but if the user does not enter the selection, the selection can be automatically set based on the setting information.

Like the virtual golf device described above, the virtual golf device of each screen golf course 100 is provided with a setting unit that is the same or similar to the one described above, and through the setting unit, the target point and/or target point are set before the user hits and the user is provided with a setting unit. can be provided. In addition, the user's hitting results can be predicted by using the process of setting the target point and provided to the user through the 'Shot Preview' menu. The setting unit may be provided only in the service device 200 instead of being provided individually for each virtual golf device of each screen golf course 100.

By storing various user information, etc. in the storage unit 210, the virtual golf devices of the screen golf course 100 that are wired and/or wirelessly connected to the service device 200 have information stored in the storage unit 210. can be commonly used, and there is no need to separately store the information stored in the storage unit 210 in each virtual golf device of the screen golf course 100. For example, information about a user's golf skills (first requirement data) may be stored in an area that stores each user's play information in the storage unit 210, and the information stored in the storage unit 210 Using golf skill information, you can set a target point for the user.

Above, we have explained the process of setting and displaying the target point/strategy point prior to the user's hitting in the virtual golf device and predicting and displaying the hitting result using the principle of setting the target point. Prediction of the hitting result can be made using the screen provided on the golf course. It doesn't have to run only on virtual golf devices. Below, we will describe a hitting result prediction system that is not limited to screen golf courses and can be configured in a variety of ways.

Figures 19 to 21 are diagrams showing the schematic structure of a system for predicting the results of hitting a golf ball according to various embodiments of the present invention, and Figures 22 to 24 show examples of various screens showing the results of hitting a golf ball. This is a drawing that represents.

Referring to FIG. 19, the system for predicting the result of hitting a golf ball according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in a mobile device (M) such as a smartphone. The mobile device (M) in which the system for predicting the hitting result is implemented may include a hitting result prediction unit (1), a storage unit (2), and a display unit (3). The hitting result prediction unit 1 assumes that the user hits a golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course and calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits according to the above assumption, and the storage unit 2 calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits the golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course. The data necessary for the process of calculating the result is stored, and the display unit 3 shows the calculated hitting result. The display unit 3 may be configured as a display device commonly provided in smartphones, etc.

The hitting result prediction unit 1 and the storage unit 2 can be implemented by installing a program (app) including a program that calculates the hitting result and related data on the mobile device (M). The storage unit 2 stores the user's play records on the golf course, and the hitting result prediction unit 1 can predict the hitting results by reflecting the play records stored in the storage unit 2. Here, the user can become the owner of the mobile device (M). Alternatively, if the target user's play record is stored in the storage unit 2 and the hitting result can be predicted, the user does not necessarily need to be the owner of the mobile device M. In the virtual golf device described above, the hitting result prediction unit 1, such as the setting unit 23, predicts the user's golf skills (first requirement data) and/or requirements according to the current play situation (second requirement data). You can use it to predict the user's hitting results in a similar way to performing the shot preview function. Here, the second requirement data includes environmental conditions when play is in progress or topographical requirements of the golf course where golf play is in progress.

Since the goal is to predict the hitting result assuming that golf is being played rather than actually playing golf, the environmental requirements (climate, wind, etc. of the golf course) are selected directly by the user before performing the function of predicting the hitting result. Alternatively, it can be selected randomly. Alternatively, if the user does not wish to do so, environmental requirements can be excluded and the hitting result can be predicted assuming that there are no environmental variables such as climate/wind. The topographical requirements of the golf course are determined according to the topographical characteristics of the selected golf course when the golf course where the play to predict the hitting result is performed is selected. In particular, the topographical characteristics of the point where the golf ball is placed in the selected golf course are determined by the hitting. This can greatly affect the outcome prediction. When the hitting result prediction unit 1 predicts the hitting result, the result is transmitted to the mobile device M, and the prediction result is displayed on the display unit 3 of the mobile device M.

While playing golf on a screen golf course or a real golf course, users can predict their hitting results using the mobile device (M) before hitting. In this case, the mobile device (M) can select the golf course on the screen golf course or the actual golf course that the player is currently playing on, and then predict the hitting result assuming that he or she is playing on the golf course. Alternatively, the user can check the hitting results when playing golf at a specific golf course for fun at a place unrelated to the golf course without playing golf. In this case, the user can select a golf course for which he or she wants to check the hitting results on the mobile device (M) and then predict the hitting results assuming that he or she is playing on the golf course.

Since the operations performed by the hitting result prediction unit 1 and the storage unit 2 are similar to the operations of the control unit 20 in the above-described virtual golf device, further detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 20, a system for predicting the result of hitting a golf ball according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the mobile device (M) and the service device 200.

The service device 200 is connected to a virtual golf device provided at the plurality of screen golf courses 100 through a communication network. Additionally, the service device 200 can be accessed from the user's mobile device (M). As a virtual golf device of the screen golf course 100, a virtual golf device such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 17 may be used. The service device 200 is provided with a hitting result prediction unit 1 and a storage unit 2, and the mobile device M is provided with a display unit 3. The hitting result prediction unit 1 assumes that the user hits a golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course and calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits according to the above assumption, and the storage unit 2 calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits the golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course. The data necessary for the process of calculating the result is stored, and the display unit 3 shows the calculated hitting result to the user.

The service device 200 may be a central server used by a service provider operating a plurality of screen golf courses 100 to manage virtual golf devices provided in the plurality of screen golf courses 100. A user who wishes to use the screen golf service first logs in to receive the service, and the service device 200 verifies the user's identity when logging in. When the user plays screen golf on the screen golf course 100 after logging in, the record of the user's play may be stored in the storage unit 2. The hitting result prediction unit 1 determines the user's golf skills based on the user's play record stored in the storage unit 2 (first requirement data) and/or requirements according to the current play situation (second requirement data). You can predict the user's hitting results using . Here, the second requirement data includes environmental conditions when play is in progress or topographical requirements of the golf course where golf play is in progress. Here, in order to predict the hitting result, the user does not have to actually play on the screen golf course 100, and the hitting result can be predicted and displayed to the user under the assumption that the user plays on a specific golf course. Since it is assumed that golf is played, the environmental requirements (climate, wind, etc. of the golf course) may be directly selected by the user or randomly selected before performing the function of predicting the hitting result. Alternatively, if the user does not wish to do so, environmental requirements can be excluded and the hitting result can be predicted assuming that there are no environmental variables such as climate/wind. The topographical requirements of the golf course are determined according to the topographical characteristics of the selected golf course when the golf course on which the play to predict the hitting result is performed is selected. In particular, the topographical characteristics of the point where the golf ball is placed in the selected golf course are determined when the golf course is selected. This can greatly affect the outcome prediction. When the hitting result prediction unit 1 predicts the hitting result, the result is transmitted to the mobile device M, and the prediction result is displayed on the display unit 3 of the mobile device M.

Referring to FIG. 21, a system for predicting the result of hitting a golf ball according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the service device 200 and the terminal device 400.

The service device 200 is connected to a virtual golf device provided in the plurality of screen golf courses 100 through a communication network, and is connected to a mobile device M1 used in the actual golf course 300 through a communication network. Additionally, the service device 200 can be accessed from various types of terminal devices 400.

As a virtual golf device of the screen golf course 100, a virtual golf device such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 17 may be used. The service device 200 is provided with a hitting result prediction unit 1 and a storage unit 2. The hitting result prediction unit 1 assumes that the user hits a golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course and calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits according to the above assumption, and the storage unit 2 calculates and predicts the hitting result when the user hits the golf ball placed at a predetermined location on the golf course. It stores the data necessary for the process of calculating results. The terminal 400 is equipped with a display that shows the predicted hitting results.

The storage unit 2 may store records of the user playing on a screen golf course. A user who wants to use the screen golf service first logs in to receive the service, and the service device 200 can verify the user's identity when logging in. When the user plays golf on the screen golf course 100 after logging in, the record of the user's play may be stored in the storage unit 2.

The service device 200 is connected to the mobile device (M1) owned by the user at the actual golf course through a communication network, and through this, the storage unit 2 of the service device 200 stores the information that the user played at the actual golf course 300. Records can be saved. As shown in FIG. 21, a golfer's own smartphone, etc. can be used as a mobile device (M1) on an actual golf course, and the mobile device (M1) determines its location by receiving a signal from the GPS satellite 301. can be figured out. If a user holding a mobile device (M1) is close to a golf ball, the location of the mobile device (M1) can be viewed as the location of the golf ball. When the location of the golf ball is determined using the mobile device M1, the determined location information may be provided to the service device 200. By determining the location of the golf ball when the user hits the golf ball, it is possible to determine the path the golf ball hit on the golf course, and ultimately the user's play record can be determined. The user's play record identified in this way may be stored in the storage unit 2 of the service device 200.

To elaborate on the process of determining the result of hitting on a golf course using the mobile device (M1), first, a program (app) designed to communicate with the service device 200 must be installed and running on the mobile device (M1). When a user arrives at a golf course while holding a mobile device (M1) running the app, golf course information can be checked through the GPS satellite 301, and the golfer can hit a golf ball on the golf course of the golf course. When moving, the position of the mobile device (M1) when the golfer hits the golf ball is regarded as the position of the golf ball and the position of the golf ball (in the service device 200, the golf course is set with coordinates for each position). If data is available, the position of the golf ball can be determined by applying it to the golf course data to determine the position coordinates of the golf ball. In this way, whenever the user hits a golf ball, the location of the mobile device (M1) is determined and this is provided to the service device 200, and the service device 200 receives the golf course information and the information provided from the mobile device (M1). Using location information, it is possible to determine the hitting process of the golf ball's path until the golfer completes the course strategy at a specific hole on the actual golf course currently being played. Through this process, the service device 200 can obtain play records when the user plays on an actual golf course.

The hitting result prediction unit 1 determines the user's golf skills based on the user's play record stored in the storage unit 2 (first requirement data) and/or requirements according to the current play situation (second requirement data). You can predict the user's hitting results using . Here, the first requirement data includes both play records on a screen golf course and play records on an actual golf course. When the hitting result prediction unit 1 calculates the hitting result using the first requirement data, only the play record on the screen golf course, only the play record on the actual golf course, or the play record on the screen golf course and the actual play record are used. All play records on the golf course are available. The second requirement data includes environmental conditions when play is in progress or topographical requirements of the golf course where golf play is in progress. The environmental requirements (requirements such as golf course climate, wind, etc.) may be directly selected by the user or randomly selected before performing the function of predicting the hitting result. If the user is currently on an actual golf course and uses the hitting result prediction system with the intention of checking his or her shot results or performance before playing on the actual golf course, the user must determine the actual environmental conditions (climate/wind) at the golf course. You can also select the above environmental requirements according to your needs. Additionally, the user can select the golf course he or she is currently on as the target golf course for which the hitting result will be predicted, and accordingly, the terrain conditions can be set to match the terrain requirements of the actual golf course where the user is located.

The hitting result calculated by the hitting result prediction unit 1 is transmitted to the terminal device 400, and is displayed on the display of the terminal device 400. The terminal device 400 is a device that can connect to the service device 200 through a wired or wireless communication network, and a smartphone, desktop computer, tablet computer, laptop, etc. equipped with a web browser can be used as the terminal device 400. You can.

Prediction of hitting results may be performed in various situations and/or in various ways on a screen golf course or an actual golf course, and the results may be provided in various ways. Additionally, the predicted hitting result may be provided not only to the target user but also to other users accessing the service device 200.

Referring to FIG. 22, the hitting result can be run to predict the result of the shot before hitting the golf ball in a specific situation on the golf course. The hitting results calculated according to the execution of the prediction process can be displayed to show the expected trajectory of the golf ball on various terminal devices, including smartphones, as shown in FIG. 22.

Referring to FIG. 23, hitting results can be run to predict overall play results in a specific hole on a golf course. As shown in FIG. 23, the hitting results calculated by executing the prediction process are based on the path the golf ball took in the corresponding hole until it reached the hole (① → ② → ③) on various terminal devices, including smartphones. →④→⑤) can be displayed to show the expected path of the golf ball.

Referring to FIG. 24, hitting results can be run to predict overall play results at a specific golf course. The hitting results calculated according to the execution of the prediction process can be displayed on various terminal devices, including laptops, to show the expected path of the golf ball for each hole, showing the path the golf ball took until the hole-in.

As shown in FIG. 24, as the hitting result prediction function is executed, the scores for each hole from 1 to 18 holes at a specific golf course are simulated and the results can be displayed. Using this function, you can check what the results will be if different users compete with each other on the same golf course, and multiple users can compete in a golf match with each other in a virtual space.
