Description

Distance Meter Measuring the Flight Range of a Golf Ball and Distance to the Green Hole}

In order for golfers to play smoothly on the golf course, it is very important to know exactly the distance of the hitting ball or the remaining distance from the current position to the green hole. Because of lack of sense of distance and slow calculation of distance, most of distance information needed for hitting depends on caddy, which causes inconvenience and hassle in rounding.

Currently, there is no dedicated device to support the calculation of the distance of the ball hit by the golfer on the field or the remaining distance to the green hole. However, recently, GPS-based golf operation system or other distance using GPS has been introduced. In the case of measuring equipment, the size of the device is large and it is not suitable for the golfer to carry directly. Therefore, it is necessary to help the caddy and it is expensive. Therefore, it is suitable for the golfer to carry it directly, and the distance from the field to the batting hole or the hole can be simplified. There is a need for the emergence of inexpensive, compact devices that can be measured and learn distance perception in the field.

As described above, the present invention lacks the sense of distance in the field in the case of beginners or intermediate learners who are weak in practical experience, and calculates the distance, so the distance information necessary for the hitting is almost dependent on the caddy, so the work of the caddy becomes heavy. In order to eliminate the inconvenience and hassle of playing the game, the golfer can carry it directly on the field and calculate the distance of the ball hit by the golfer and the remaining distance from the current position to the green hole with a simple operation. It is easy to program the terrain information of the golf course without any GPS knowledge, and it is a small GPS that enables analysis of the game by downloading and printing the saved golf course location data and the golfer's hits during the game. Distance measuring distance of golf ball and green hole using To have a purpose.

In the present invention for achieving the above object, the distance measuring distance of the golf ball and the distance to the green hole using the GPS program the position of the teeing point and the green hole point of each hole irrespective of the number or order of the holes of the course in the golf course By inputting information about the golf course and clicking the button of the device for each position of the ball to be hit, it is configured to automatically display the flying distance of the previous hit and the remaining distance from the current position to the green hole simultaneously. It is done.

Referring to the preferred embodiments of the present invention using the accompanying drawings as follows.

The detailed structure of the distance measuring device 10 to the distance of the golf ball and the green hole using the GPS according to the present invention is calculated with the GPS antenna 2 for receiving the GPS signal from the communication satellite as shown in FIG. LCD display (3) for displaying the flying distance and the measured distance from the current position to the green hole, unit change button (4) for changing the displayed distance in meters, feet, yards, etc. By inputting the GPS position data of the point and the green hole point, the course input button (5) for inputting the topographical information of the golf course, and by clicking the button of the device for each position of the ball to be hit between the teeing point and the green hole point, Ball position input button (6) for calculating the flying distance of the batted ball and the remaining distance from the current position to the green hole, GPS position data for the position of the ball entered during the game Sent to the PC or is composed of a hand hook (9) for the connector (7) for a PC connected to receive the transmitted position data of the course stored in the PC, and to be suitable for a mobile.

The hardware structure of the distance measuring device 10 to the distance and the green hole of the golf ball using the GPS is as shown in Figure 2, first GPS antenna 11 and GPS receiver for receiving radio waves emitted from the communication satellite ( 12), a serial interface 13 for extracting GPS data from the received serial data frame, a controller 14 for the overall processing of the system, the location of all teeing points and green holes of the running program and golf course and all of the golfers A memory 15 for storing GPS position data for the hitting position, an LCD display 16 for displaying the measured distance of the shot and the remaining distance to the calculated green hole, a golfer for programming the position of the teeing point or green hole A button interface 17 for entering all strike points of the device or changing the unit or operation mode, a PC interface 18 for data transfer with the PC, and a system It consists of a power supply unit 19 for power supply of the entire system.

Operation of the distance measurer 10 to the distance and green hole of the golf ball using the GPS according to the present invention is first initialized the variables used in the system and program as shown in Figure 3 (S30) course input of the device In the course programming mode, if the button is pressed (S31), the current GPS position coordinate is read (S42). If the course input button is pressed an odd number of times (S43), the current position is regarded as a teeing point of a specific hole. In the case where the memory is stored in the memory of the range finder (S44), and if it is pressed evenly (S45), the current position is stored in the memory of the range finder as the green hole point of the specific hole (S46) and the counter of the hole is increased (S47).

If the course input button is not pressed, the calculated distance data is displayed on the LCD. First, the current position value of GPS is read (S32), and then the teeing points of each golf course and the green hole position information are stored in the memory. Check the position to see if the straight distance between the current position and the teeing point is within the preset distance to recognize the number of holes the golfer is located (S33) if the golfer is approaching the teeing point of the specific hole In the case (S34), the position of the teeing point of the hole is set to the start point of the flying distance to be measured (S35) and the contents of the previously displayed LCD are cleared according to the change of the hole (S36).

Next, check the ball position input button (S37), if the button is pressed, calculates the distance from the current golfer's position to the green hole (S39) and from the current golfer's position to the position of the golf ball that was hit before After calculating the distance of flight (S40) to display the calculated distance and hole distance on the LCD at the same time (S41) to allow the golfer to utilize this during the game and to repeat the above process.

As described above, the distance measuring distance and distance to the green hole of the golf ball using the GPS according to the present invention are simply connected to the golf course by pressing the course input button at the teeing point and the green hole point of each hole regardless of the number or order of the holes. By inputting the topographic information or using this, the golfer's location is automatically recognized and the distance of the hit ball and the remaining distance from the current position to the green hole can be calculated and displayed on the display at the same time. All the batter's and batter's bats can be downloaded to the PC for analysis of the game, so beginners and intermediate golfers can carry them during the rounding and grasp the distance of the batter's hits and the remaining distance to the hole by simple operation. It can be widely used to improve golf skills by using it to master the sense of distance. have.
