Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram schematically showing a golf guide system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a golf guide system according to the present invention includes a terminal 10 for providing golf fitting information based on position information received from a position information transmitter and current position information of the terminal, And a position information transmitter 20 installed in the hole cup or the flagpole and transmitting position information of the hole.

The terminal 10 may be configured as a dedicated terminal, but it may be configured as a form in which a program is installed in an app form in a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet PC. And can be manufactured in a form that can be attached to a human body.

The terminal 10 includes an information setting module 110 for setting information related to golf progress, a position information collection module 120 for collecting position information of the terminal, position information of the terminal collected from the position information collection module, A target information calculation module (130) for calculating a distance from the position of the terminal to the hole or the target point from the position information of the hole received from the information transmitter, and the golf course detail information stored in the calculated distance and the memory, A memory 150 for storing and managing golfer information and golf course information, a wireless communication module 160 for performing wireless communication with the position information transmitter, And an output module 170 for outputting golf fitting information.

The position information transmitter 20 includes a position information collecting unit 210 installed in a hall or a flagpole and collecting position information, a wireless communication unit 220 wirelessly transmitting the collected position information to the terminal, And a memory unit 230 for storing the data.

In this case, when the position of the hole cup is permanently fixed, position information of the hole to be installed may be stored in advance to confirm the position information of the hole. However, since the position of the hole changes periodically on the green in general, A transmitter is required and the position information transmitter is installed in a hole cup or a flagpole so that accurate position measurement of the hole can be made even if the position of the hole changes in the green.

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that acquires position information using a satellite such as a GPS can be used as the position information collection module 120 and the position information transmitter 210 of the position information transmitter.

The target information calculation module 130 of the terminal calculates the target information of the terminal based on the position information obtained from the position information collection module 120 of the terminal and the position information received from the position information transmitter 20 installed in the hall, It is responsible for calculating the distance.

Since the position information (GPS information) collected by the terminal 10 and the position information transmitter 20 includes latitude, longitude and altitude information, the target information calculation module 130 may calculate the coordinates of the terminal and the hole based on the position information And the distance between the coordinates is calculated to calculate the straight line distance.

Here, the target information calculation module 130 can calculate the accurate direction from the terminal to the hall using the location information (latitude and longitude), and the distance and direction from the current position of the terminal to the hall Information can be simultaneously calculated and provided.

Also, when altitude information is included in the location information, altitude information received from the hall and altitude information at which the terminal is located can be compared and altitude information from the terminal to the hall can be calculated and provided.

The guide information generation module 140 generates golf fitting information optimized at the current position based on the target information calculated through the target information calculation module 130 and the golf course detail information stored in the memory.

The golf course detail information may be stored in a memory, and golf course detail information previously stored in a database of the management server may be transmitted to the terminal 10 and stored.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing golf course details according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the golf course detail information may be stored as a DB in coordinate information. The course may be grid-shaped at intervals of 1 to 10 meters for each hole, and detailed information as described below may be set.

- Tee box position (Back, Front, Gold, Lady, etc.) of each hole Coordinate and range setting (to radius 10m or tee box size)

- OB or Hazard information on the left (LL, Left Limit), right (RL, Right Limit)

- Position coordinate and range of the bunker (start coordinates (BS), center coordinates (BC), end coordinates (BE))

- Position coordinate and range of the hazard (start coordinate (HS), center coordinate (HC), end coordinate (HE))

- Slope information (slice CSn, hook CHn, climb (ClN), downhill (CDn)) at the tee box position)

- the overall tilt information of the green (up / downhill information in the green direction, the start coordinates (GS), the center coordinates (GC), and the end coordinates (GE)

Therefore, the guide information generation module 140 extracts and maps the detailed information of the corresponding hole among the calculated target information (distance, direction, height) and the golf course information to obtain golf fitting information for the next shot at the current position Can be generated.

More specifically, when the target information (distance, direction, height) from the position of the golfer holding the terminal 10 to the hole is calculated through the target information calculation module 130, (Eg, obstacle information (OB, bunker, hazard position), topographic information (uphill, downhill, slice lie, hook lie), floor condition (For example, a forward slope, a right hazard, a front bunker in front of 100m, etc.) when a shot is performed together with the target information by analyzing the surrounding environment information from the current position of the golfer in real time At the same time, generates the golf fitting information including the guide information for the specific hole attack method.

Here, the guide information may be generated in consideration of the actual golfer's shot ability. To this end, the information setting module 110 of the terminal receives golfer information (for example, distance information per club) input from the golfer You can save and manage.

The information setting module 110 plays a role of setting various kinds of golf information and plays a role of providing an input interface when a golfer inputs data or selects a menu.

For example, the average distance of a golfer's driver is 200m, and the average distance of a 7th zinc is 120m. Thus, the average distance of each golfer's own club can be input and set. Based on the inputted information, target information and detailed golf course information are analyzed, Guide information can be generated.

In general, the guide information can be set based on the average distance of the clubs. However, because the distance varies according to the career, the swing motion, and the posture for each golfer, the guide information is generated There is a problem that a large error may occur and it is impossible to provide customized guide information. However, the present invention has an effect that it is possible to provide the guide information based on the average distance per club directly registered by each golfer.

Meanwhile, the golf guide system according to the present invention not only provides the golfer with golf fitting information about the shot, but also can provide the golf history information by analyzing the accuracy of the shot when the shot is performed.

To this end, the terminal 10 may further include a shot management module 180.

When the golfer completes the shot and the golfer moves to the position where the ball is moved, if the position of the ball is designated, the shot information can be calculated from the previous position to the current position where the ball is distant. Based on this, the accuracy of the shot can be determined, It can be used as a data to analyze the accuracy and disadvantage of the golfer's shot.

More specifically, when the shot evaluation menu is selected through the information setting module 110, the shot management module 180 stores the position information before the shot, specifies the ball position information after the shot, The shot information including the direction information may be calculated and compared with the golf fitting information provided before the shot to analyze and provide the accuracy of the shot.

In addition, the shot management module 180 cumulatively manages the shot information to calculate an actual average distance for each club, compares the distance information with each of the clubs inputted from the golfer, and corrects and updates the distance information for each club, And may be configured to be capable of generating golf fitting information.

Since the shot management module 180 can analyze shots every time a shot is performed, it is possible to analyze all the shot information played by the golfer in all the holes and accumulate all the shot information to analyze the golfer's distance, And can be stored as history information of a golfer who can overcome the problem of the golfer's shot.

In addition, the shot management module 180 can play a role of a scoreboard, and the golfer's score can be automatically recorded when the golf game is finished without having to create a separate score board, and the own shot can be analyzed for each hole.

The wireless communication module of the terminal and the wireless communication unit of the position information transmitter may be configured to perform wireless communication via Wi-Fi and short-range wireless communication such as Zigbee and Bluetooth. By transmitting the unique identification information of the information transmitter together, it is possible to identify each hole and select and receive only the position information in the hole currently being played by the golfer.

In general, although the tee shot positions are different from each other in the case of a golf course, the position of the hole cup may be located at a close distance although it is a different hole. In this case, since more than two position information may be simultaneously received, Only the positional information of the hole can be selected and received.

Hereinafter, a method of providing golf fitting information according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described.

5 is a flowchart schematically showing a method of providing golf fitting information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, golf course related information is selected and set through the information setting module.

Here, the golf progress related information may include golf course and hole information for playing golf, extracting the corresponding golf course detailed information from the memory, or downloading the detailed golf course information from the management server to complete the setting .

For example, when the golf course is located at the tee shot of the AA golf course, detailed information on the first hole of the detailed information of the AA golf course is extracted and the setting is completed.

Then, when the golfer desires to set his / her club distance information, the information setting module receives the distance information for each club and stores it in the memory.

For example, distance information can be entered by the average distance of the driver of the golfer is 180 m, the average distance of the 9 th zinc is 100 m, the average distance is increased by 5 m as the zinc number is lowered, For example, wood can not be used), and the best club information (for example, 7th zinc).

The distance information for each club may be utilized for generating customized guide information when generating the guide guide information provided to the golfer.

When the information is set as described above, the golfer carries the golf by holding the terminal.

When starting the hole, the target information calculation module of the terminal calculates the target information from the current position of the terminal to the position of the terminal in the tee shot position.

More specifically, the target information calculation module analyzes the position information of the hole (pin) received from the position information transmitter installed in the hall and the position information of the current position of the terminal through the position information collection module of the terminal, (Distance, direction, height difference) to the target pin (pin).

When the target information is calculated as described above, the guide information generation module generates the golf fitting information including the guide information by mapping the golf course detailed information of the hole and the target information.

Here, the golf fitting information may include the target information, the golf course detail information corresponding to the golf course information, and the guide information at the current position.

When the golf fitting information is generated as described above, the golf fitting information is outputted through the output module. The output module may output the golf fitting information in the form of audio, video, or a combination thereof via a speaker or a display.

The golf fitting information can sequentially output the golf course detailed information of the golf course around the hole and guide guide information according to the target information through the output module and guide it.

More specifically, when it is difficult to reach a hole (pin) with a single shot at the current position (distance from the present position to the hole is 200 m or more), the golf course detailed information (for example, Information) is extracted and guided.

For example, if the current position is a fairway or a rough, if the hazard is located ahead, the distance to the hazard, the distance to the hazard, the distance to the bunker when the fairway bunker is located, Guide.

And slope information (uphill, downhill, slice lie, hook lie, flat land, etc.) in the pin direction.

For example, if the slope is an uphill slope, the club must be selected considering the height difference. If the slope is less than 10 m, one club is long. If the slope is 10 to 20 m, the two clubs are longer and the slope is less than 20 to 30 m. If the slope is less than 10m, one club will be short. If the slope is 10 ~ 20m, two clubs will be short, and the slope will be 20 ~ If you are within 30m, you can provide information that three clubs should choose a club shortly.

In the case of a slice lie, a slice may be generated when the ball is lower than the foot. Thus, it is possible to provide information that the player must look to the left side of the destination direction and play a hook or a drawer. It is possible to provide information that the right side should be viewed and played rather than the direction.

On the other hand, if the distance from the current position to the hole is possible at one time (for example, less than 200 m), the distances GS, GC and CE to the hole and the slope information of the green, Oblique information, reference information (bunker, hazard), inclination information in the direction of the hall (uphill, downhill, slice lie, hook lie, flat land, etc.).

As described above, the guide information is generated and guided based on the golf course detailed information of the hole and the distance information of each club set by the golfer.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating derivation of guide guide information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

For example, if you have an uphill slope in the hall direction, you should choose a club that can spend longer than the shot distance on the flat, and you can extract the best club from the distance information for each club.

You can choose one club long if the uphill slope is less than 10m, two clubs if you are within 10 ~ 20m, and three clubs if you are within 20 ~ 30m.

As shown in FIG. 5, if the target distance is 120 m and the ascending slope is 25 m, a 2 club long club is selected. If the golfer sets the distance of the 7 th zinc to 120 m, Can be generated and guided.

Here, if the position of the golfer is rough rather than fairway, it is possible to generate the guide information reflecting the details of the actual golf course and the golfer's ability by selecting an additional two club long club.

If the other golfer sets the distance of the 9th zinc to 120m, it will generate the guide guide information that the golfer must hit with the 7th zinc, so it is possible to provide a customized guide according to the golfer's ability.

As described above, since the guide information can be generated and provided based on the golf course detail information to which the target information and the target information up to the current position of the golfer and the hole are mapped and the distance information of the club set by the golfer, Club, direction and distance information can be customized.

Meanwhile, when a shot is made according to the golf fitting information, shot analysis information for analyzing the accuracy of shot by designating a club where a shot and a ball where the ball is moved can be generated and provided.

More specifically, when a shot management menu is selected through the setting management module, a shot is performed according to the golf fitting information, a shot is entered into a club, and a shot management module specifies a position where the ball has moved. It is possible to generate shot evaluation information which can analyze the accuracy of the shot by comparing the position of the ball with the position of the ball through the shot before and calculating the distance and the direction and comparing the club information used in the shot.

The information setting module may provide an interface through which a golfer can select a shot analysis menu in order to obtain an evaluation of the accuracy and distance of a shot performed by the golfer. When the shot analysis menu is selected, And the current position of the ball in the place where the ball moved through the shot and the shot is designated, the position information collection module extracts the current position information of the ball.

When the position information before and after the shot is extracted as described above, the shot analysis module compares the position information before and after the shot, extracts shot information including the distance and direction information moved through the shot, The accuracy of the shot can be analyzed by comparing the previous golf fitting information with the shot information.

For example, if the golf fitting information is 120m in the target area, and the average distance of the golfer's 7th zinc is 120m, and the golf fitting information is generated so as to target with the 7th zinc, the straight distance included in the shot information is 120m However, if the direction is deflected to the right from the target direction, it can be judged that the slice is on the swing.

Also, if the direction is similar but the distance is short, it can be judged that a top ball or a duff shot due to head-up has occurred in the swing.

The shot evaluation information as described above can be accumulated and managed as history information of the golfer. The golfer can analyze the defects through the accuracy of the shot and the miss shot while viewing the shot evaluation information of the golfer, have.

The shot analysis module can analyze all the shots until the ball enters the hole by putting from the tee shot, and when the shot is performed in the hole, the number of shots is accumulated until the ball enters the hole.

Therefore, since the number of shots per hole is recorded through the shot analysis, the score information can be provided after the play on all the holes is completed.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
