The mobile terminal used in the golf simulation method and the like according to the present invention may include a mobile communication terminal such as a cellular phone and may include all mobile terminals of a touch input method such as a so-called smart phone or a mobile terminal such as a tablet PC .

The term 'mobile terminal' as used herein refers to a mobile terminal itself such as the smart phone or tablet PC described above. However, the term " mobile terminal " refers to a combination of hardware and software required to implement a function for driving golf simulation according to the present invention And a platform of a mobile terminal.

[ The mobile terminal may include various electronic components such as a camera module and various sensors, which are not directly related to the driving of the golf simulation according to the present invention.

The controller 100 is a component that performs various operations and information processing required by various programs or applications driven in the mobile terminal. The golf simulation method using the mobile terminal according to the present invention is performed by the controller 100, Related information to be ultimately provided to the user while controlling the data storage unit 130, the touch screen 110, and the like by receiving a necessary information from the data storage unit 130 or a predetermined program or application, And the like.

Of course, the controller 100 may perform golf simulation or the like by using the information already stored in the data storage 130 without receiving information from the server as the case may be.

Here, the present invention basically comprises the steps of touching the touch screen 110 of the mobile terminal with a body part such as a user's finger or a predetermined touch-type input tool (e.g., a touch pen) Here, the term " gesture means "is collectively referred to as " a part of the user's body or a predetermined touch-type input tool "

As used herein, 'program' means software installed in a mobile terminal by default, and 'application' means software that can be downloaded, installed and executed from a predetermined server to a mobile terminal by a user's choice it means.

A golf simulation method using a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10. FIG.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a preparation screen image when a program or an application for golf simulation is executed in the mobile terminal according to the present invention.

The program or application for golf simulation includes a batting image mode for implementing an image related to a virtual ball or a virtual ball and a head of a virtual golf club, a simulation for implementing an image for simulating the trajectory of a ball in a predetermined virtual environment FIG. 2 to FIG. 8 show a golf simulation process on the batting image mode, and FIGS. 9 and 10 show a golf simulation process on the simulation video mode, respectively.

The hit image mode is set to provide a hit preparation image for hitting the golf ball using the golf club in the set hitting mode and a hitting operation image corresponding to the touch input when the touch input of the gesture means is detected in the golf club . FIG. 2 shows the batting preparation image, and FIGS. 3 to 8 show an example of the batting operation image.

2, a virtual ball 10 is generated in the batting preparation image of the batting image mode 112, and both the virtual ball 10 and the virtual club head 20 are generated according to the batting mode . A club selection menu 30 for selecting a golf club type is preferably created on one side of the screen, and a mode selection menu 40 for selecting a batting mode can be created on the other side of the screen.

The hitting mode basically includes a single touch mode and a multi-touch mode. In the single touch mode, only a single touch on the touch screen by the gesture means is recognized, and in the multi-touch mode, the plurality of touches on the touch screen by the gesture means are respectively recognized.

FIGS. 3 to 6 show a process in which a predetermined impact characteristic is set according to the virtual ball hit under the single-touch mode. FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 illustrate a process in which a virtual ball is hit in the multi- A predetermined batting characteristic, that is, a batting condition is set.

3 to 6, a description will be given of a process of setting a hitting characteristic on the hitting image mode 112 in the single-touch mode.

The control unit 100 (see FIG. 1) controls the movement of the gesture means G on the touch screen 110 as the gesture means G contacts the touch screen 110 in the ready state as shown in FIG. Lt; / RTI >

As shown in FIG. 3, the velocity of the club head as a hitting characteristic can be determined by dragging in the direction of the arrow by the gesture means G touching the touch screen 110, The speed of the club head can be determined corresponding to the drag distance of the gesture means G relative to the gesture means G.

At this time, a head speed guide display 60 for guiding the speed of the club head with respect to the drag distance of the user can be displayed together on the image.

That is, as the distance of the drag from the virtual ball 10 increases, the velocity of the club head increases when the ball is hit later.

3, the virtual ball 10 and the virtual club head 20 or the gesture means G are brought into contact with the touch screen 110 of the gesture means G as the dragging of the gesture means G is started. Thereby creating a path 50 through the portion.

This path 50 becomes a club path when the virtual club head 20 hits the virtual ball 10. [ That is, the expected club path is displayed in advance in the form of the path 50.

The path 50 for guiding the club path is preferably changed according to the drag position of the gesture means G. In FIG. 3, the path 50 is formed along the drag direction of the gesture means G, Is implemented so as to be changed corresponding thereto.

It is also possible that the face portion of the virtual club head 20 changes as the virtual ball 10 faces the front as the gesture means G moves left and right (see FIG. 4).

The user can move the gesture means G so that the velocity of the club head corresponding to the drag distance and the batting characteristic such as the club path corresponding to the drag direction can be set to a desired state.

Meanwhile, the golf simulation method using the mobile terminal according to the present invention may be configured to determine the direction of the spin on the ball at the time of hitting after determination of the club head speed and club path through dragging of the gesture means (G) Can also be provided.

Figure 5 illustrates the spin point object 70 as an example of an interface that allows the user to determine the spin direction.

5, a spin point object 70 that rotates around the virtual ball 10 is generated after the dragging of the gesture means G. When the touch screen 110 of the gesture means G is rotated, The portion where the spin point object 70 is located on the imaginary ball 10 becomes a spin point at the time of hitting, and the hitting characteristic is determined.

Herein, the 'spin point' is used to indicate the direction of the spin on the ball when the virtual ball 10 is hit. For example, when the spin point object is hit on the right side of the ball, And the spin of the ball is mainly caused by the side spin that rotates to the left, and the more the spin point object is shifted to the right, the larger the side spin amount that rotates to the left.

When the spin point object is hit in the middle of the ball, the back spin is most likely to occur with little side spin.

Accordingly, the user can cause the gesture means G to contact the touch screen 110 to drag the player, so that the velocity characteristics of the club head corresponding to the drag distance and the batting characteristics such as the club path corresponding to the drag direction can be determined The position of the spin point object 70 on the ball 10 at the moment of releasing the contact state of the gesture means G is determined as the spin point position by determining the position of the spin point object 70 generated after the drag ) It is possible to determine the direction of spin applied to the ball or the striking characteristic for the kind of spin.

As described above, when the determination of the striking characteristic through the gesture means G is completed, the control unit 100 (see FIG. 1) calculates the physical characteristic information on the behavior of the hit ball and, based on the calculated physical characteristic The simulation of the ball trajectory is performed in the simulation image mode, which will be described later.

The method of hitting the ball 10 in the batting image mode 112 may be to release the contact after the dragging of the gesture means G as described above. It is possible to cause the blow to be performed even by a quick drag that seems to strike the virtual ball 10 by the drag.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user directly touches the virtual ball 10 generated by the hitting image mode 112 with the virtual ball 10, 10 so that a blow is made as soon as the contact portion of the gesture means G with respect to the touch screen 110 reaches the portion where the virtual ball 10 is located. Here, the ball striking method as shown in Fig. 6 will be referred to as "direct dragging ".

It is desirable that the velocity of the club head is determined in response to the speed of the direct dragging and the club path is determined in accordance with the direction of the dragging directly in the batting by direct dragging of the user.

7 and 8, a description will be given of the process of setting the hitting characteristics on the hitting image mode 112 in the multi-touch mode.

Also in the multi-touch mode, the determination of the club head speed corresponding to the drag distance and the club path determination corresponding to the drag direction are basically the same as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

That is, dragging with the gesture means G1 and G2 in contact with the touch screen 110 more than two times is equivalent to dragging from the single touch mode (see FIGS. 3 and 4) to the gesture means. The portion related to the path 50 is also the same as the single touch mode.

In the multi-touch mode, however, the touch screen 110 recognizes and senses two or more touches of the gesture means G1 and G2 and detects the state of the club head 20 by the relative movement of the gesture means G1 and G2. Can be changed.

7 and 8, it is possible to change the face angle of the virtual club head 20 by rotating the two contacted portions, thereby changing the spin angle of the ball 10 Can be adjusted.

Furthermore, it is possible to change not only the face angle of the virtual club head 20 but also the loft angle according to the relative movement of the two or more contacted portions of the gesture means G1 and G2.

For example, after the face angle has been determined according to the degree of relative movement of the two or more contact portions of the gesture means G1 and G2, the loft angle is determined again according to the movement of the gesture means G1 and G2, .

It is also possible to have two contacted portions of the gesture means set the face angle and another contacted portion set the loft angle.

Since the hitting characteristic setting in the multi-touch mode as described above can be applied equally to the golf simulation through the mobile terminal, the important hitting factors to be considered when hitting the ball with the actual golf club can be applied. .

As described above, when the determination of the hitting characteristics for the ball is completed by the movement of the gesture means in either the single-touch mode or the multi-touch mode, the controller 100 (see FIG. 1) Information about physical characteristics such as a ball speed, a direction angle, a height angle, a spin, and the like are calculated.

Then, based on the information on the physical characteristics of the calculated ball, an image in which the trajectory T of the ball B is simulated is implemented in the simulation image mode 114 as shown in Fig.

Here, the trajectory T of the ball B does not necessarily have to be displayed, and it is possible to cause the simulation to fly based on the calculated physical characteristics of the ball B without displaying the trajectory T.

Here, it is possible to calculate information on the physical characteristics of the ball from the determined impact characteristics by using database data or a predetermined calculation formula or the like.

That is, data on the physical characteristics of the ball corresponding to various striking characteristics are stored in a database, and when the striking characteristics are determined as described above, data on the physical characteristics of the balls corresponding to the determined striking characteristics are extracted from the database- Or if there is no matching data, it can be calculated through interpolation or the like.

More specifically, as the database-based data is further subdivided, more accurate physical characteristic information can be calculated. In particular, it is desirable to be able to calculate the physical characteristics in consideration of the kind of golf club.

That is, the user can select a golf club to be used before proceeding with golf simulation through the mobile terminal according to the present invention (see the club selection menu 30 of FIG. 2), and data for calculating the physical characteristic information of the ball It is possible to form a database for each golf club so that the physical characteristic information of the ball according to the result of the hit by the golf club selected by the user can be accurately calculated.

The database-structured data may be data stored in the data storage unit of the mobile terminal or may be data temporarily stored in the data storage unit.

It is also possible to calculate the physical property information of the ball corresponding to the determined impact characteristic by substituting information on the determined impact characteristic into a calculation formula previously established without the database-based data.

After the simulation of the ball trajectory has been performed as described above, the result information 116 such as the record information according to the result or the batting impact of the ball is displayed on the touch screen 110, So that the result of the simulation of the shot can be confirmed.

Here, the simulation image mode 114 can be used as a virtual environment which is a background of a simulation of a ball trajectory by downloading a map that implements a virtual environment for an actual golf course from a predetermined server.

Therefore, it is preferable that the user can acquire the self-exploration information for the golf course by proceeding with the virtual golf simulation through the mobile terminal providing the golf simulation method according to the present invention before the round in the actual golf course.

Meanwhile, in FIGS. 2 to 10, the batting image mode and the simulation image mode are respectively provided to the entire screen through the touch screen of the mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 11, It is also possible that the batting image mode 112 and the simulation image mode 114 are simultaneously provided as divided screens.

The example shown in FIG. 11 shows that the batting image mode and the simulation image mode are displayed on a screen in which the divided images are simultaneously divided, and the operation method and the like are substantially the same as those shown in FIG. 2 to FIG.

The example shown in FIG. 11 can be more preferably applied to a mobile terminal having a relatively large size, such as a tablet PC, rather than a mobile terminal having a small size such as a smart phone.

The golf simulation method using the mobile terminal according to the present invention as described above with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 10 will be summarized again with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When a program or an application for driving the golf simulation according to the present invention is executed in the mobile terminal (S10), the batting image mode is executed first (S12). If the batting image mode and the simulation image mode are simultaneously executed, the batting image mode is activated first, and a process for determining the batting characteristics of the user will proceed.

When the batting image mode is executed, the user selects a golf club for a desired golf shot (S14), and selects a touch method (S16).

When the single touch mode is selected (S20), the control unit continuously senses the movement of the gesture means in contact with the touch screen (S22), and the dragging and touch releasing method or the direct dragging To determine the club head's velocity, clubbath, and other striking characteristics.

In the case of setting the hitting characteristics by the dragging and the contact releasing method by the gesture means, as shown in FIG. 5, an image is generated in which a spin point object is generated around the virtual ball and the ball is driven to reciprocate around the ball S24).

In this state, when the gesture means is released from contact (S30), the batting characteristic is determined from the drag distance, the direction and the position of the spin point object at that time (S32).

The virtual ball is hit in accordance with the determined batting characteristics (S60), and the controller calculates the physical property information of the hit ball from the database data or a predetermined formula (S62).

In step S64, the control unit executes the simulation image mode and implements the simulation image of the ball trajectory in a predetermined virtual environment based on the physical characteristic information calculated in step S62.

When the multi-touch mode is selected in the selection process of the touch method described above (S40), the control unit continuously detects the movement of the plurality of gesture means in contact with the touch screen (S42) Club head, face angle, and / or loft angle) through the dragging and tear-off method as shown in FIG.

That is, if the state of the club head is adjusted through the dragging of the gesture means and the movement of the two or more contact portions of the gesture means and then the contact is released (S50), the drag distance, the direction, the face angle of the virtual club head and / Or a loft angle or the like (S52).

S60, S62, and S64 are performed in the same manner according to the determined batting characteristics as described above, thereby golf simulation is performed.

According to the golf simulation method using the mobile terminal according to the present invention as described above, various detailed impact characteristics can be set by simply operating the user through the touch screen, and the physical characteristics of the ball The simulation of the accurate ball trajectory can be performed.
