Description

Swing swing system and method of operation

The present invention relates to a golf swing practice system and a method of operation thereof, and more particularly, a virtual golf course where a user can practice golf swing, such as putting, without a golf ball and a putting mat, and is displayed on a connected terminal. Through realistic golf swing practice is possible, and the golf swing practice system and its operation method that can practice with other users through the network.

In general, the golf swing can be divided into driving, pitching and putting, which is driven by a long club like a driver to blow the golf ball away. Pitching means swinging into a short club, such as an iron, and putting means short swinging with a putter to put a golf ball into a hole on the green. Putting during this golf swing is required to insert a 42.67 [mm] diameter golf ball into a hole having a diameter of 108 [mm], which requires more accurate direction and force control than other swings.

These putts can be made precisely when the golf ball is located at the center of the head of the putter during the preparation operation and the putting line toward the hole cup must be straight. Therefore, various tools have been proposed for the golfer to learn the correct putting swing. . A widely used method of correcting a putting swing posture is a video analysis method in which a professional coach analyzes a video of a golfer's putting swing and diagnoses a problem of the golfer's putting swing. Such a diagnosis method requires expensive video recording equipment, and requires a complicated coach to correct a golfer's posture by a professional coach.

In order to solve the problem of this method has been devised putting practice devices that can practice putting swing practice alone, users can correct their own putting swing using the putting practice device. That is, the user may hit the golf ball by using the putter on the putting mat, and observe the hit golf ball toward the hole cup formed on the putting mat to correct his own putting posture.

However, the above-described putting practice apparatuses are necessary because the putter, golf ball and the putting mat, the user can practice putting only if there is a space in which the putting mat can be installed. That is, there is a problem that the user can not practice putting without the putting mat installation space. In addition, even if there is a space in which the putting mat can be installed, if the space is not flat, the putting mat is not fixed, so putting practice is impossible. In addition, the user must actually hit the golf ball, so putting practice is possible only with a golf ball and putter, and furthermore, there is a problem that the user cannot practice putting in the desired place because the putting mat is not portable.

In addition, the user has a problem that the practice efficiency is inferior because the user can not only swing practice using the existing golf putting practice device swing practice alone. Of course, you can alternately perform putting exercises with other users, but there is still a problem that you cannot perform the exercises with users located remotely.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a portable golf swing practice system and the user can perform a golf swing practice, such as putting without a putting mat or golf ball, and can practice golf swing at a desired time and place It is intended to provide a method of operation.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice system and its operation method that can perform golf swing exercises with other users at a distance.

In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, the golf club detecting device 120 includes various sensors for detecting the movement of the golf club 110 and a communication modem for transmitting and receiving data with the golf club 110. .

That is, the golf club 110 is moved in accordance with the user's swing motion, the golf club detection device 120 detects the movement of the golf club 110, and analyzes it according to a preset method to determine whether the correct swing was made. To judge. Hereinafter, specific operations of the golf club 110 and the golf club detection device 120 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

2 is a block diagram of a golf club according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a block diagram of a golf club detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the golf club 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is the golf club control unit 210, laser transmitter 220, golf club communication unit 230, display unit 240 or 150, speaker unit 250 The vibration unit 260 includes a power supply unit 270, a blood pressure measuring unit 280, and an acceleration sensor unit 290.

In addition, referring to FIG. 3, the golf club detecting device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensing device controller 310, a laser sensor 320, an image sensor 330, and a sensing device communication unit 340. It includes. Here, the laser sensor unit 320 and the image sensor unit 330 is a component that performs an operation for detecting the movement of the golf club 110, so when collectively referred to as 'golf detection unit'. In addition, the movement of the golf club 110 according to the swinging motion of the user may also detect the acceleration sensor unit 290 included in the golf club 110. Hereinafter, an operation of sensing the movement of the golf club 110 by the image sensor unit 330 will be described.

The image sensor unit 330 captures the golf club 110 (particularly, the golf club head 160) at predetermined intervals and swings the image (ie, the golf club head 160 moved according to the swing). Called 'swing image'). For example, when the swing image is set to be generated at intervals of 0.1 second, the image sensor unit 330 may capture the golf club 110 at intervals of 0.1 second. At this time, since the position of the golf club 110 will be changed by the swing operation of the user, the positions of the pixels corresponding to the golf club head 160 will be different in each swing image generated at predetermined intervals. Hereinafter, an operation of generating the swing image by the image sensor unit 330 and analyzing the generated swing image by the sensing device controller 310 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is a view illustrating an operation of capturing a golf club using an image sensor provided with a golf club sensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an image of a golf club captured by FIG. 4. However, hereinafter, the golf club 110 is a putter (putter), the swing of the user (swing) will be described on the assumption that the case is a putting swing.

Referring to FIG. 4, the golf club head 160 is moved from the first position 160-1 to the third position 160-3 through the second position 160-2. At this time, the potential energy of the golf club head 160 at the second position 160-2 is the lowest, and the kinetic energy is the largest. In addition, the golf club detecting device 120 may be positioned such that the image sensor 330 faces in the direction in which the golf club head 160 can be picked up. That is, the user can swing the golf club 110 on the assumption that the golf ball is placed on the image sensor 330 of the golf club sensing device 120, and the image sensor 330 sets a predetermined time for the golf club head 160 to swing. The image can be captured at intervals to generate a swing image. In this case, the image sensor 330 may include a wide-angle lens to generate a wider range of swing image.

In addition, the user may swing assuming that there is a virtual golf ball (hereinafter referred to as a 'virtual golf ball') on the image sensor 330, so that the golf club head 160 is in the second position 160-2. When the image sensor 330 is closest.

Referring to FIG. 5, an image 510 including six sequentially generated swing images is illustrated. Here, the golf club head image 510-1 captured on the leftmost side may be the first image captured, and the golf club head image 510-6 captured on the rightmost side may be the last captured image.

Meanwhile, the sensing device controller 310 detects an image of the golf club head 160 (hereinafter referred to as a golf club image) in each swing image, and detects a pixel corresponding to the center of each detected golf club image. Can be detected. For example, the sensing device controller 310 may detect a golf club image having a predetermined shape among the subjects included in each swing image when the swing images sequentially generated are input.

In other words, the preset shape is "

", The sensing device control unit 310 in the swing image received sequentially"

"The method of detecting the subject having a predetermined shape in the swing image is obvious to those skilled in the art, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may determine the center of the detected golf club image. For example, the preset golf club image looks like "

", The sensing device control unit 310 determines the center of gravity of the stick shape formed up and down as the center of the golf club image (that is,

), Judging the middle of the right end of the stick-shaped formed to the left and right as the center of the golf club image (that is,

) can do. In this case, the center of the golf club image may correspond to one pixel, and the sensing device controller 310 may detect a coordinate value of the center pixel (that is, the pixel corresponding to the center of the golf club image) in the swing image. For example, assume that the resolution of the swing image is 1000x1000. In this case, when the center pixel is located at the center of the swing image, the coordinate value of the center pixel may correspond to [500, 500]. That is, in the above example, when the coordinate value of the left lowermost pixel is [0, 0], the coordinate value of the center pixel may be [500, 500].

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may determine whether the virtual golf ball is swinged to hit the center of the golf club head 160 using sequentially generated center pixels. For example, suppose that n swing images are generated sequentially (where n is a natural number). In this case, the sensing device controller 310 may determine that the virtual golf ball is hit by the center of the golf club head 160 when the line connecting the center pixels corresponding to each of the n swing images passes through the center portion of the swing image. The central portion of the swing image may be virtual pixels including the center pixel of the swing image. For example, the center portion of the swing image may be pixels consisting of 10 pixels on one side as square pixels centered on a center pixel.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate a moving direction of the virtual golf ball using sequentially generated center pixels. For example, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving direction of the virtual line connecting the respective center pixels as the moving direction. That is, the inclination of the line connecting the first center pixel and the second center pixel is '-1', the inclination of the line connecting the second center pixel and the third center pixel is '-1', and the third center pixel and the second When the inclination of the line connecting the four center pixels is also '-1', the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving direction by moving the virtual golf ball in the direction connecting the first to fourth center pixels. . In this case, the first center pixel may be a pixel corresponding to the center portion of the swing image, and the fourth center pixel may be a center pixel generated from the last swing image. This is because the direction of movement after the virtual golf ball is priced is only a problem.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving distance of the virtual golf ball using the golf club image detected in the swing image generated sequentially. This is because the sensing device controller 310 can know the time when the golf club image was first detected and the time when the golf club image was last detected. That is, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving speed of the golf club head 160 using the distance and time that the golf club 110 stays in the photographing range of the image sensor 330. In addition, the sensing device controller 310 is a moving speed of the golf club head 160, the weight and length of the predetermined golf club 110, the weight of the predetermined virtual golf ball, the repulsive force between the predetermined virtual golf ball and the golf club head 160, The movement distance of the virtual golf ball may be calculated by using the friction force between the virtual golf ball and the green.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 enters into a virtual hall cup (hereinafter, referred to as a 'virtual hole cup') after the virtual golf ball is hit by using the calculated movement direction and distance of the virtual golf ball. Can be calculated for. For example, assume that the virtual hole cup is 3 [m] away from the virtual golf ball. At this time, the sensing device controller 310 is a virtual golf ball when the movement direction corresponds to the virtual hole cup direction (that is, the movement direction corresponds to the horizontal axis direction in Figure 5), if the movement distance is 3 [m] or more virtual golf It can be determined that the ball enters the virtual hole cup. On the other hand, if the moving direction of the virtual golf ball does not correspond to the virtual hole cup direction or the moving distance of the virtual golf ball is less than 3 [m], the sensing device controller 310 uses the Pythagorean theorem to determine how much the virtual golf ball is from the virtual hole cup. It is spaced apart by a distance, and it can be calculated how much angle is separated from the virtual hole cup direction.

As described above, the image sensor unit 330 may generate a swing image by capturing the golf club head 160 at predetermined intervals, and the sensing device controller 310 analyzes the swing images generated sequentially. The speed and direction of movement after the virtual golf ball is hit can be calculated. Hereinafter, the laser sensor unit 320 detects the movement of the golf club 110 (particularly, the golf club head 160) with reference to FIG. 6, and analyzes the operation of the detected golf club 110 by the sensing device controller 310. The operation to be described will be described.

6 is a view illustrating an operation in which the golf club detecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the movement of the golf club using a laser sensor.

Referring to FIG. 6, the golf club 110 includes a laser transmitter 220 that emits a laser toward the golf club detection device 120, and the golf club detection device 120 includes one or more laser sensors for receiving the laser beam. It includes a laser sensor unit 320 is included. Here, the laser sensor located at the center of the golf club detecting device 120 of the one or more laser sensors is a sensor for detecting whether the virtual golf ball is hit by the center of the golf club head 160, the hitting laser sensor (320-) 1), and the other laser sensors are referred to as swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-11 because they are sensors for detecting whether the swing of the golf club 110 is made in a straight line. At this time. One or more swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-11 and the hitting laser sensor 320-1 may be formed in a line. In addition, since the hit signal and / or swing signal to be described below is a signal generated by detecting the swing of the golf club 110 in the laser sensor unit 320 may be referred to as a swing signal.

The hitting laser sensor 320-1 determines that the virtual golf ball is hit when the laser is received, generates a hitting signal, and outputs the hitting signal to the sensing device controller 310. That is, the user can assume that there is a virtual golf ball on the hitting laser sensor (320-1) can swing the golf club 110, the laser transmitter 220 formed on the golf club head 160 is hitting laser sensor (320-1) When the laser is received by the hitting laser sensor 320-1, the virtual golf ball may be accurately hit by the center portion of the golf club head 160. Therefore, the striking laser sensor 320-1 generates a striking signal upon receiving the laser and outputs the striking signal to the sensing apparatus controller 310, and the sensing apparatus controller 310 in which the striking signal is inputted determines that the virtual golf ball has been hit correctly. Can be.

In addition, each of the one or more swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-11 generates a swing signal when the laser is received, and outputs a swing signal to the sensing device controller 310. In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may determine the moving direction and the moving speed of the virtual golf ball using the swing signals received from each of the one or more swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-11. For example, the sensing device controller 310 may determine that the virtual golf ball is accurately moved in the hole cup direction when a swing signal of more than a predetermined number of forward directions is input. That is, when ten swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-11 are formed in the golf club detecting device 120, and the number of forward directions is preset to eight, the detection device controller 310 inputs eight or more swing signals. When the virtual golf ball is accurately moved in the direction of the hole cup.

As another example, the sensing device controller 310 is formed in front of the hitting laser sensor 320-1 based on the hitting direction (ie, formed at a position close to the virtual hole cup) when a swing signal of less than a forward number is input. If the swing signal received from the swing laser sensors 320-7 to 320-11 is greater than the swing signal received from the swing laser sensors 320-2 to 320-6, the virtual golf ball is formed in the hole cup (based on the hitting direction). It can be determined that the direction is moved to the right. On the contrary, when the swing signal of the forward direction number or less is input, the detection device controller 310 is formed behind the hitting laser sensor 320-1 based on the hitting direction (ie, formed at a position far away from the virtual hole cup). If the swing signal received from (320-2 to 320-6) is greater than the swing signal received from other swing laser sensors (320-7 to 320-11), the virtual golf ball moves to the left of the hole cup direction (based on the hitting direction). It can be determined that it is moved.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving distance of the virtual golf ball by using the received swing signal and / or hit signal. That is, the sensing device controller 310 can know the time when the first swing signal is received and the last time the swing signal is received. That is, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate the moving speed of the golf club head 160 by using the time at which the swing signal is started and the last time received. In addition, the sensing device controller 310 is a moving speed of the golf club head 160, the weight and length of the predetermined golf club 110, the weight of the predetermined virtual golf ball, the repulsive force between the predetermined virtual golf ball and the golf club head 160, The movement distance of the virtual golf ball may be calculated by using the friction force between the virtual golf ball and the green.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may calculate whether the virtual golf ball enters the virtual hole cup after being hit by using the calculated movement direction and the moving distance of the virtual golf ball. For example, assume that the virtual hole cup is 3 [m] away from the virtual golf ball. In this case, the sensing device controller 310 may determine that the virtual golf ball enters the virtual hole cup when the moving direction of the virtual golf ball corresponds to the virtual hole cup direction and the moving distance is 3 [m] or more. On the other hand, if the moving direction of the virtual golf ball does not correspond to the virtual hole cup direction or the moving distance of the virtual golf ball is less than 3 [m], the sensing device controller 310 may determine that the virtual golf ball did not enter the virtual hole cup. .

As described above, the laser sensor unit 320 is formed on the golf club head 160 to receive the laser output in the direction of the laser sensor unit 320 can determine whether the virtual golf ball is hit correctly, and furthermore, the virtual golf ball The moving direction and / or the moving speed of can be calculated. Hereinafter, the acceleration sensor unit 290 formed on the golf club 110 (in particular, formed on the golf club head 160) detects the movement of the golf club 110 and the golf club controller 210 detects the motion of the golf club 110. The operation of analyzing the operation will be described.

2 and 3, the acceleration sensor unit 290 may be included in the golf club 110 to detect the movement of the golf club 110. Here, the acceleration sensor unit 290 may include a three-dimensional acceleration sensor (3-Axis Accelerometer) to detect all the movement in the golf club space. Accordingly, the acceleration sensor unit 290 may calculate the speed of the golf club head 160 and the moving direction of the virtual golf ball according to the swing motion of the user. In addition, the golf club control unit 210, the moving speed of the golf club head 160, the weight and length of the predetermined golf club 110, the weight of the predetermined virtual golf ball, the repulsive force between the predetermined virtual golf ball and the golf club head 160, in advance The moving distance of the virtual golf ball can be calculated using the set friction force between the virtual golf ball and the green.

However, since the acceleration sensor unit 290 cannot determine whether the virtual golf ball is accurately priced by the golf club head 160, whether or not the virtual golf ball is accurately priced is an image sensor unit formed in the above-described golf body detecting apparatus 120. 330 and / or the laser sensor 320 may be determined.

In the above, the operation of determining whether the virtual golf ball is accurately hit by the golf club detecting device 120 and / or the golf club 110, the moving direction and the moving distance of the virtual golf ball has been described in detail. Hereinafter, how the determined information is recognized by the user will be described.

When the virtual golf ball is hit precisely, the sensing device controller 310 generates hitting information and outputs it to the sensing device communication unit 340, and the sensing device communication unit 340 outputs the input hitting information to the golf club 110 (especially, the golf club). The communication unit 230 transmits. In addition, the golf club communication unit 230 receiving the hitting information outputs it to the golf club control unit 210, the golf club control unit 210 drives the vibration unit 260 according to the input of the hitting information, the predetermined sound source is a speaker unit It can be controlled to be output through the 250. This is to inform the user tactilely or acoustically when the golf ball is hit, to give the user the same effect as actually hitting the golf ball. Therefore, the vibrator 260 and the speaker 250 are collectively referred to as a 'feedback processing unit'.

In addition, the speaker unit 250 may output a sound source corresponding to the movement of the virtual golf ball under the control of the golf club control unit 210. For example, if the golf club control unit 210 enters the virtual golf ball into the virtual hole cup, the sound source corresponding to 'Nice Shot' may be controlled to be output through the speaker unit 250, the virtual golf ball does not enter the virtual hole cup If not, it may be controlled so that the sound source corresponding to 'splash' is output through the speaker unit 250.

In addition, the sensing device controller 310 may transmit the calculated movement distance and / or information about the movement direction (ie, movement distance information and / or movement direction information) to the golf club 110 through the sensing device communication unit 340. have. In addition, the golf club controller 210 controls the movement distance and the direction of movement generated by the acceleration sensor unit 290 or transmitted from the golf club detection device 120 is output through the display unit 240. This is to allow the user to visually recognize whether the virtual golf ball enters the virtual hole cup and if the virtual golf ball is not entered, the moving direction or distance of the virtual golf ball.

In addition, the golf club control unit 210 may output one or more of the hit information, the moving distance information and the moving direction information received from the golf club detection device 120 to the golf club communication unit 230, the golf club communication unit 230 is One or more of the hitting information, the moving distance information, and the moving direction information may be transmitted to the first user terminal 180-n through the first communication network 170-1.

That is, the golf swing practice apparatus detects the swing motion when the user grabs the golf club 110 and generates the swing information, and analyzes the swing information according to a preset method to determine whether the correct swing is made. do.
