Abstract

PURPOSE: A system for assisting on-line golf broadcasts is provided to output various golf information stored in a computer on a TV screen when golf programs are broadcasted, and to simultaneously broadcast golf plays held in each hole to viewers, so as to assist wide golf broadcasts. CONSTITUTION: Inputting units(6-8) transmit various golf plays to an on-line golf broadcast assisting server in real time. A network(9) transmits various information(16) on the golf plays to the on-line golf assisting server. The on-line golf broadcast assisting server(10) stores the information in a database. A network(11) transmits the information to a broadcasting system(14a) through a local area network(LAN) or the internet. An interface(12) converts contents of the information, to smoothly output services of the on-line golf broadcast assisting server in the broadcasting system. The interface converts digital signals into analog signals or converts the analog signals into the digital signals. A broadcasting assistant(13) utilizes the information of the on-line golf broadcast assisting server, and requests information necessary for broadcast stations. The broadcasting system delivers the information and performs all functions necessary for broadcasts. A browser(15) receives necessary information from the on-line golf broadcast assisting server by the broadcasting assistant, an announcer, and a commentator.

[Description of Operation of Invention (Design)]

There are two main uses for the online golf broadcasting support system. The first is not a golf game broadcast but a general golf broadcast, which broadcasts golf with commentary using various materials from the broadcasting station. This is mainly done for past golf game contents, lessons, various game news and breaking news, and various golf related information. In general golf broadcasting, the online golf broadcasting support system is networked with the broadcasting system so that various information and service functions in the database of the online golf broadcasting support system can be accessed and prepared in advance by the broadcasting technical personnel according to the broadcasting needs. It is selected by the city broadcasting technical personnel or the announcer or commentator and output as shown in FIG. 4. The broadcast technician may access the online golf broadcasting assistant server, run the browser, and then select a required one of the browser functions and information selection items to obtain the requested information from the online golf broadcasting assistant server.

Information can be accessed in the same way when used by an announcer or commentator. The acquired information can be transmitted in advance when necessary after being processed in advance for broadcasting, and can directly transmit information received from an online golf broadcasting support system without processing. Secondly, it can be used for golf relay broadcasting. It is not only the information already stored in the online broadcasting support system, but also the progress of the game, the progress of the hole by player, the results, the contents of the course, the special situation, and the hole. Information such as the game situation is needed. Therefore, the input and output unit of FIG. 2 is installed in the field, and field operation personnel are dispatched for each hall, and the game situation is input and transmitted to the online golf broadcasting auxiliary server. On-site operating personnel processes the information input from the input device using the various drawings of each hole stored in the online golf broadcasting auxiliary server and transmits it to the online golf broadcasting auxiliary server. The transmitted information is selected, accessed, and processed by the broadcast progress technical personnel, the announcer, and the commentator through the browser, and is transmitted to the broadcast system along with the regular broadcast screen and output as shown in FIG. 4. In addition, it is possible to receive not only the game status information, but also various statistics stored in the existing online golf broadcasting auxiliary server, player's performance statistics, course and hole information, etc. from the online golf broadcasting auxiliary server. In case of using PDA, input and various functions and services are the same. Individual users can receive various game situations and information through PDA browser on PDA screen.

The present invention is a golf broadcasting support system to overcome the lack of broadcasting resources and various information in the regular golf broadcasts, thereby inducing the quality and diversity of golf broadcasts, as well as providing a sense of the game to the viewer and the overall situation of the game Results can be provided in real time. In addition, it is possible to improve the level of golf game viewing by providing various statistics and additional functions as well as the game situation of all halls to galleries who attend the stadium through PDA service.
