Of course, when distance prediction for each obstacle or hole of the golf course is not necessary, the concentric circles or concentric circles may not be displayed, and only a function of displaying a golf course map in a diagonal direction of the display may be necessary.
The
4 is a flow chart illustrating the operation of the apparatus of FIG. 2 according to the method of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 to 8 are plan views of a golf course map displayed on a display according to FIG. 4.
Referring to Figures 2 to 5, the golf course map information providing method and the operation of the apparatus according to the present invention will be described first.
First, the
If the calculated current location is a point requiring a golf course map display, the golf course map corresponding to the current location is searched in the golf course map DB (step 5), and the retrieved golf course map is displayed in a diagonal direction of the display 110 (step 6) and In addition, a concentric circular arc centering on the current position is displayed on the display 110 (step 7). Then run
Here, unlike
Golf course map information providing method and apparatus according to the present invention to operate in the same process as above to allow golfers to easily measure the distance from the golf course, golf course information to easily know the state of the bunker, hazard, and other obstacles of the golf course Display the concentric arcs or concentric circles around your location, so that you know the distance of the entire course at once.
That is, when the user carries the terminal according to the present invention made of a clock type and enters the golf course or near the T box, the current position coordinates (information) is automatically provided while repeating the process shown in FIG. The golf course map calculated from the GPS signals received from the GPS satellites is searched in real time on the golf
This state can be seen from FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the
Marking concentric circles or concentric circles should be done with certain rules. For example, the user is located at the bottom right of the screen, and the distance is displayed on the first concentric circle. If the distance displayed is 100, the next concentric circle is 200 and the next concentric circle is 300. If the first concentric circle is 50, then the next concentric circle is 100 and the next concentric circle is 150, indicating that users can easily distinguish the distance.
Then, with the information displayed on the display, the user can predict the distance to each obstacle.
Looking at the golf course map of Figure 5, the user is located in the center of the concentric arc (T box) in the golf course map showing the entire hole, you can see the overall picture and green information, hazards, fairway information, other obstacle information of the hole.
You can see that the radius of one concentric arc is 100 yards, you can see what obstacles are at 200 and 300 yards, and 400 yards to the green.
In addition, if the golf course map is shown in the diagonal direction of the display as shown in Fig. 5, the same size terminal can represent a larger golf course map than the conventional device. If the golf course map is arranged in the diagonal direction of the
When the device of the present invention is worn on the left wrist, the course is displayed from the upper left to the lower right, and the person wearing the right hand is preferably displayed diagonally from the upper right to the lower left.
In order to know the golf course distance in more detail, the golf course map may be displayed on the
Given that golfers play tee shots, the average driving distance is about 200-220 yards for the general public and about 270 yards for the professional golfers. After a while, as shown in FIG. 6, the screen may be enlarged to show a distance of only 300 yards from the T box. This will give you more information about the golf course.
7 and 8, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the radius of the concentric arc or the concentric circle can be changed to 50 yards and 25 yards to allow more detailed distance prediction.
That is, the golf map is searched in the
Golf course map information providing method and apparatus according to the present invention can be used in the manufacture of a terminal that allows the golfer to easily carry the entire golf course information, the distance from the current position to the obstacle and the like easily carry.
