The input unit 120 is configured to allow a user to select a type of a practice club, and is configured to select a type of golf club, and further includes an on-off switch of the device.

The power supply unit 130 is configured to supply power to the wearable device. The wireless communication unit 140 may be a module for wireless communication with the portable terminal 200, and may be a module having various communication modes such as Bluetooth and ZigBee.

The controller 150 is a part for controlling the overall components of the wearable device described above.

Accordingly, the wearable device provides the measurement value of the sensor unit 110 to the portable terminal 200 according to the swing of the user, and the portable terminal 200 receives the measurement value of the sensor unit 110 Analyze the user's swing pattern.

3, the dedicated holder 300 is used for photographing a user's swing pattern through the portable terminal 200 during a user's swing practice and outputting the analyzed analysis result to a user. As shown in FIG. 3, (310) and the reflection plate (320) are rotatably coupled by a hinge (330).

At this time, the supporting plate 310 is provided with mounting grooves 321A to 312D for mounting the portable terminal 200. The mounting grooves have different groove inclination angles so that the mounting angles of the portable terminals are different from each other Do.

Meanwhile, a height adjuster 314 may be provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 310. The height adjuster 314 may have different screwing positions to differently support the support plate 310.

A reflection plate 322 for reflecting a screen of the portable terminal is installed inside the reflection plate 320. At this time, the reflection plate 322 may be formed to have a concave curved surface to enhance the visibility of the user.

Here, the portable terminal 200 is mounted such that the display screen is directed toward the inside of the special stand. The camera module on the outside can easily photograph the impact position downward, And can be easily confirmed by the user through the plate 322.

In addition, since the performance of the rear camera is higher than that of the front camera in a general smartphone, it is possible to accurately obtain an impact image through a high-performance camera.

Hereinafter, a golf swing analysis method according to the present invention will be described.

The golf swing analysis according to the present invention is largely performed by two methods. First, the image analysis is performed on the address and the impact through the image data photographed by the portable terminal, and the analysis of the swing pattern is performed by the sensing data transmitted by the wearable device.

· Check club alignment at address

As shown in FIG. 4, in the golf swing pattern analysis method according to the present invention, the user confirms the alignment state of the club with the ball at the time of addressing and informs the user that the club face is opened or closed so that the club can be rearranged , And notify the swing when the club face alignment is correct.

That is, in the present invention, the camera module of the portable terminal 200 placed on the dedicated cradle 300 photographs the club and the ball, analyzes the captured data to determine the alignment state between the club and the ball, And displays the result to the user.

Accordingly, the user can check the alignment state of the club and the ball in real time through the output screen in the address posture. Of course, in order to prevent head-up, the result of the analysis of the alignment state can be provided to the user through voice output.

· Swing analysis result

In the golf swing analysis method according to the present invention, after the user performs the swing, the swing pattern and the analysis result are immediately output. In the analysis result, the swing trajectory, the impact shape / angle and speed, Expected distance and direction.

In this case, the swing trajectory is calculated through the sensing data received from the wearable device 100, and the impact shape, angle and speed can be obtained by analyzing the image data photographed by the portable terminal 200. In the present invention, Since the image is captured using the rear camera of the portable terminal, it is possible to acquire relatively accurate photograph data.

On the other hand, the expected distance and direction of the ball can be calculated according to the impact type, angle and speed, and the calculation algorithm is not described in detail because it is a known technique (such as an indoor golf driving range equipment).

The result of such a swing analysis is accumulated and stored as the swing is repeated.

As shown in FIG. 6, the exercise data may be stored including a date, a club type used, an impact angle and a speed, and an expected trajectory.

In the illustrated data, the impact angle means the angle of the open or closed direction of the club face relative to the exact vertical position of the ball and the club face, and the expected trajectory is comprised of the distance and distance deviating left and right from the center reference do.

The above-described stored data can be used not only to comprehensively analyze the user's practice results, but also to perform a golf virtual game to be described later.

Hereinafter, a virtual golf game providing system and method using sensation data according to the present invention will be described.

The virtual golf game providing system using sensation data according to the present invention includes a portable terminal 200 that drives a dedicated app and a game providing server.

At this time, the portable terminal stores practice data (hereinafter referred to as 'sensation data') collected through the above-described method and provides the stored practice data to the game providing server.

Meanwhile, the game providing server provides a golf game in a virtual space to a user connected through the portable terminal.

At this time, when the golf game is being performed, the game providing server calculates the swing result (Swing information) of each connected user, and uses the actual feeling data of each connected user.

Specifically, when the user sets a club according to a swing type and executes a swing, the game providing server extracts sensation data matched to the selected club to calculate swing information.

In this case, the method of deriving the swing information using the sensation data may be performed by various methods. The sensation data randomly selected from the sensation data matched with the swing condition (club, etc.) The swing information may be derived from the average value of the sensation data matched with the swing condition.

Also, in deriving the swing information by the above two methods, the swing information (result) is deduced from the result obtained by increasing the selection probability or the average value reflection rate by weighting the latest data according to the input time (exercise date and time) You may.

Of course, in deriving the swing information, it is possible to include a reflecting element such as a real golf game such as an influence of the wind like a conventional game.

The virtual golf game providing system using the sensation data configured as described above provides a virtual golf game in the following manner.

The virtual golf game according to the present invention basically proceeds in a manner similar to that of a golf game that has been conventionally provided.

However, in the virtual golf game according to the present invention, the swing result (information) is calculated and applied from the sensation data actually practiced by the user stored in the database during the swing of the user.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the virtual golf game according to the present invention starts with a user accessing a game and executing a game.

Of course, in this case, it is possible to play alone, but a large number of users can access the game together.

Then, the user sets various game options, and proceeds to the game sequentially for each hole (S110).

At this time, the user selects a club according to a play order of the user (S120), and inputs a swing input (S130).

According to the swing input of the user, the game providing server calculates the swing history from the sensed data stored, calculates the locus information, and calculates the position of the ball with respect to the swing (S140, S150, S160).

More specifically, in calculating the swing information from the stored exercise data, it is possible to randomly select any one of the stored data, calculate the swing information using the average value, It is possible to increase the selection probability by adding a high additive value to the data or to reflect it in the average value as described above.

In this way, the game using various clubs can be performed for all the holes, and the game can be terminated and the game result can be provided when the entire set hole is finished (S170, S180, S190).

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment, but is capable of many modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a golf swing pattern analysis and a virtual golf game using a wearable device. According to the present invention, a new type of virtual reality experience type golf game platform in which the exercise effect through the actual golf swing practice and the on / off line using the golf swing practice amount big data of the user are fused is created.
