Figure 5 is a signal flow diagram explaining the execution process of a golf course green management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the execution process of the green management method of a golf course according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, as the manager inputs green section information dividing the entire area of the green into grid sections into the manager terminal 300, the management server 200 can receive and store the green section information from the manager terminal 300. There will be (S510).

In addition, as the manager inputs mobile installation reference pattern information (for example, Z-shaped movement pattern) for determining the mobile installation location of the hole cup on the green into the manager terminal 300, the management server 200 The mobile installation standard pattern information may be received and stored from (300) (S520).

Additionally, as the manager inputs information on the hole cup installation prohibited zone, such as repairs on the green, to the manager terminal 300, the management server 200 may receive and store the hole cup installation prohibited zone information from the administrator terminal 300. (S530).

Meanwhile, when the worker performs work at the hole cup moving installation point to install the hole cup on the green, the sensor module 110 of the worker device 100 may detect the worker's hole cup moving installation work according to the above-described method. (S540).

Accordingly, the communication module 170 of the worker device 100 transmits the worker's location information (i.e., the installation location information of the hole cup) to the management server 200 (S550), and the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 ) will be able to determine whether the worker's location information is included in the hole cup installation prohibited area stored in step S530 described above.

If it is determined that the worker's location information is included in the hole cup installation prohibited area, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 generates a hole cup installation prohibition alarm (S560), and the transmitting unit of the management server 200 270 may transmit this to operator device 100.

Accordingly, as the communication module 170 of the worker device 100 receives the hole cup installation prohibition alarm from the management server 200, the worker device 100 prohibits the installation of the hole cup through the output module 130 such as a speaker or LED lamp. An alarm is output.

In this way, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the installation of hole cups in areas where hole cup installation is prohibited, such as repairs, due to operator error.

Afterwards, when a worker who has moved to another location on the green performs the hole cup installation task, the sensor module 110 of the worker device 100 detects the hole cup moving installation task, and the communication module 170 of the worker device 100 ) transmits the worker's location information (i.e., the installation location information of the hole cup) to the management server 200 (S570).

Accordingly, if the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 determines that the worker's location information is not included in the hole cup installation prohibited area, it provides green strategy information including the worker's location information (i.e., hole cup installation location information). It is generated (S575), and the transmitting unit 270 of the management server 200 transmits it to a user terminal such as a smart phone or digital yardage book owned by a caddy or golfer, thereby providing a green strategy service.

According to the present invention, the installation location information of the hole cup is automatically recorded in the management server 200, so that the hole cup is provided to users of the golf course without installing a separate position measurement sensor module 110 on the hole cup flagpole as in the past. Location information can be provided on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, as in the above-described step S570, the management server 200 stores the installation location information of the hole cup periodically received from the operator device 100 according to the periodic movement and installation of the hole cup on the green divided area stored in the above-mentioned step S510. It can be marked (or mapped) cumulatively, and based on the installation location information of the hole cups that are cumulatively marked (or mapped) in such green divided areas, the cumulative installation ratio of the hole cups in each divided area is calculated. It can be calculated as in 6 (S580).

In addition, in implementing the present invention, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 determines the next movement installation location of the hole cup based on the cumulative installation ratio information of the hole cup calculated for each divided area as shown in FIG. 6. It may be possible (S585).

Specifically, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 may determine the divided area with the lowest cumulative installation ratio of hole cups among each divided area as the next moving installation location of the hole cup.

In addition, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 may determine the next movement installation location of the hole cup based on the hole cup movement installation standard pattern information stored in step S520 described above.

Specifically, when the hole cup movement installation reference pattern is a Z-shaped pattern, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 determines a division zone in which an extension line from the current hole cup installation position is located on the Z-shaped pattern. can be determined by the moving installation location of the hole cup.

In addition, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 determines that the hole cup movement installation reference pattern is a Z-shaped pattern, and that there are a plurality of division zones where the extension line from the current hole cup installation position is located on the Z-shaped pattern. In this case, the division zone with the closest distance on the Z-shaped pattern path from the current hole cup installation location among the plurality of division zones may be determined as the next moving installation location of the hole cup.

In addition, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 determines that the hole cup movement installation reference pattern is a Z-shaped pattern, and that there are a plurality of division zones where the extension line from the current hole cup installation position is located on the Z-shaped pattern. In this case, the divided area with the lowest cumulative installation ratio of hole cups among the plurality of divided areas may be determined as the next moving installation location of the hole cup.

In addition, in implementing the present invention, the determination unit 250 of the management server 200 selects a plurality of divided zones from the current hole cup installation location when there are a plurality of divided zones with the smallest cumulative installation ratio of hole cups among each divided zone. Among each extension line, the division area corresponding to the extension line located closest to the Z-shaped pattern may be determined as the next movement installation location of the hole cup.

The management server 200 may transmit the determined movement and installation location information of the hole cup to the operator device 100, and the worker may refer to the movement and installation location information of the hole cup received from the management server 200 to select the next hole cup. It is possible to prepare for mobile installation work.
