Description

GOLF EXERCISING SYSTEM USING SMART PHONE}

The present invention relates to a golf practice system using a smartphone, and more particularly, to a golf practice system using a smartphone, in which a cradle accommodating a smartphone is detached or attached to a golf swing machine, To a golf practice system using a smart phone capable of providing diagnosis, coaching, and statistical data of a swing motion per user.

As golf has become popular, the recent golf population is rapidly increasing. In golf, the balance and posture of the body, the dispersion and timing of the power, etc., have an important influence on the improvement of the performance. These factors are not obtained in a short time but are obtained by continuous correction and training. This is a common method.

In particular, it is important that the putter used for putting in putting be guided precisely to strike the golf ball with an ideal point on the striking surface, called a sweet spot, in consideration of the center of gravity. The situation is similar in chipping and pitching.

In general, whether a golfer has mastered putting skills and steadily strikes a sweet spot can be detected from the results of several putts. Or a camera is used as an auxiliary means to optimize the order of motion of the golfer, it is time consuming and expensive to take a picture of the golfer's action and evaluate the image, but it is thought of as only a temporary step .

Prior to each putt, it is possible to attach a foil which is discolored when pressure is applied to the face of the putter, and then to evaluate the order of the foil, but this method is also too cumbersome to carry out over a long period of time.

Ultimately, a golf club named "DiXX Digital Instruction Putter" is sold by Alan Electronics GmbH (www.dixxgolf.de), addressed to Dreieich 63303, Germany, which has an acceleration sensor on the back of the head, A housing containing an electronic measurement and evaluation device and a planar image screen or alternatively can be selectively attached by exchanging a heavy weight as much as this unit. The acceleration sensor is at a position for detecting several parameters for the operation of the club during the golf club swing, in particular the position of the impact point of the sweet spot. However, there is a problem in that it is not possible to determine the exact point on the striking surface where the golf ball is struck by such a measurement method.

In recent years, various types of swing practice devices have been developed and disclosed in which a swing posture of a golfer, a head direction of a driver, a swing speed, and the like are sensed by a sensor, and a swing practice device , These information are calculated on the basis of the outcome values appearing from the user, so it is necessary to use the same golf swing exercise device irrespective of the individual physical characteristics of the user, and it is difficult to carry the golf swing exercise device and to store it in a specific place .

Accordingly, there is a continuing need for a golf practice system using a new smartphone capable of solving the problems of the conventional golf swing practice apparatus.

In the present invention, when a swinging operation is performed by using a golf swing machine while attaching or detaching a holder for accommodating a smartphone to or from a golf swing machine and a smart phone is mounted on the holder, And provides a golf practice system using a smart phone capable of providing diagnosis, coaching, and statistical data of a swing motion per user by comparing and analyzing the swing data with the optimum swing data.

Among the embodiments, a golf practice system using a smart phone includes various sensors such as a compass, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope, receives and stores a swing practice program via the Internet, executes the swing practice program by a user A smart phone for calculating and outputting swing practice result information including a number of strokes, a distance, a swing trajectory, a swing speed, and a swing posture using the various sensors; A golf swing unit detachably mountable to and detachable from the head portion of the smartphone; And a controller for controlling the swing exercise program of the smartphone to receive swing practice result information generated in a swing operation of the golf swing machine according to execution of the swing practice program of the smartphone, And a golf information management server for calculating diagnosis, calibration data and swing statistical data of the user's swing based on the swing practice result information and transmitting the calculated diagnosis and swing statistical data to the smartphone.

Meanwhile, the golf information management server provides the golf simulation game program to the smartphone, the smartphone receives and stores the golf simulation game program, and when the user executes the golf simulation game program, And can play a role of a golf player in the golf simulation game.

The golf information management server includes a communication module connected to the smart phone or the golf related site via the Internet to transmit and receive various data related to golf; An information collection module for collecting body information and swing practice result information from a smartphone storing the swing practice program; An information analysis module that compares and analyzes the information collected by the information collection module with pre-stored optimal swing data to calculate diagnosis, calibration data, and swing statistical data and stores the data for each user; A program providing module for producing various golf related programs including the swing practice program as an application executable in the smart phone and providing update information of each program; And a control module for performing all control functions on the operations of the communication module, the information collection module, the information analysis module, and the program providing module.

The swing practice program of the smartphone includes a training mode, a field mode, and a learning mode, and the swing practice result information can be calculated differently according to each mode.

The golf practice system using the smartphone of the present invention can easily attach and detach a cradle accommodating a smartphone to or from a golf swing machine and thus it is not only convenient to carry but also eliminates the need to purchase a separate golf swing machine, , Putting, swing practice of the driver can be effective.

In addition, in the golf practice system using the smartphone of the present invention, if a swing operation is performed using a golf swing machine while a smartphone is mounted on a cradle, swing practice result information is collected from a server connected to the smartphone and the Internet, It is able to diagnose swing motion of each user by comparing and analyzing with swing data, provide coaching and statistical data, and can diagnose a comprehensive user swing problem through several swing operations, and can perform self diagnosis and correction And it is possible to enjoy a golf simulation game using a smartphone.
