Hereinafter, the operation method of the yacht simulator will be described in detail.

2 is a block diagram showing the control flow of the yacht simulator shown in Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the yacht simulator shown in FIG.

2 and 3, when the yacht simulator 100 operates, a current is supplied from an external power source to operate the control unit 191, the driving unit 120, the display unit 130, and the like.

The control unit 191 can prepare the simulation. For example, the control unit 191 can perform simulation preparation through a program stored therein. Specifically, the control unit 191 can transmit the screen contents to be displayed on the display unit 130 among the stored programs to the display unit 130. In addition, the control unit 191 may prepare a simulation by uploading a motion program for operating the driving unit 120. In operation S110,

During the above-described operation, the occupant and the security personnel may wear the life jacket 140, respectively. At this time, the transmitter 151 of the life jacket 140 worn by the safety officer can transmit a signal different from the transmitter 151 of the life jacket 140 worn by the general occupant to the outside.

After the life jacket 140 is inserted, the occupant and the safety personnel can board the hull 110 through the first stepped portion 171 as described above. At this time, at least one of the safety personnel and the external safety personnel may be disposed at the second step portion 172 to operate the inside of the hull 110 and the control unit 191.

When the passenger and the safety personnel board the hull 110 as described above, the controller 153 can calculate the boarding status of the safety personnel and the boarding passengers aboard the hull 110. Specifically, the controller 153 can determine whether or not the safety personnel is boarded on the basis of the intensity of the signal generated from the transmitter 151 of the life jacket 140 of the security officer who is riding with the passenger. For example, the controller 153 may determine that the security guard has boarded the hull 110 when the intensity of the signal generated from the transmitter 151 of the life jacket 140 of the security guard is equal to or greater than a predetermined intensity. (Step S120) The controller 153 may calculate the occupant based on the intensity of the signal generated in the life jacket 140 of each occupant (Step S130)

As described above, it is possible to determine whether the user wears the life jacket 140 in the process of calculating the occupant. In this case, the number of the users who board the hull 110 is inputted in advance through the control unit 191 or the like, and then the number of signals generated by the transmitter 151 of each life jacket 140 is counted, It is possible to judge whether or not all of the personnel wear the life jacket 140.

The result of discriminating whether the security personnel boarded the hull 110 as described above can be transmitted to the control unit 191 through the communication module 192. The control unit 191 may control the driving unit 120 to prevent the driving unit 120 from being operated when it is determined that the safety personnel is not boarded the hull 110. [

Further, the control unit 191 can determine whether the occupant number calculated by the controller 153 exceeds the preset occupant number. At this time, if it is determined that the calculated occupant number exceeds the predetermined set occupant number, the controller 191 can control the driving unit 120 to prevent the driving unit 120 from operating.

If the control unit 191 determines that the safety personnel is boarded as described above and the occupant number is less than or equal to the preset number of passengers, the control unit 191 can determine whether or not the start of the simulation has been approved (step S140)

Specifically, an operation signal input unit 183 for receiving a start signal from the outside may be installed in at least one of the hull 110 and the step unit 170. At this time, when the user inputs the start signal by operating the operation signal input unit 183, the control unit 191 can prepare for the start of the simulation. The operation signal input unit 183 can receive a simulation end signal in addition to the start signal.

Meanwhile, the signal detected by the obstacle detection sensor unit 182 may be transmitted to the control unit 191. At this time, when an obstacle is detected by the obstacle detection sensor unit 182, the controller 191 can control the driving unit 120 to prevent the driving unit 120 from being operated.

On the other hand, when an obstacle is not detected by the obstacle detection sensor unit 182, the control unit 191 can operate the driving unit 120. At this time, the controller 191 determines whether or not an occupant is present in the vicinity of the hull 110, whether or not the safety personnel is onboard, the occupant, the start signal input, the life jacket 140, (120).

The control unit 191 can implement the same or similar image as the actual navigation of the hull 110 on the display unit 130 by driving the program when the driver 120 is operated. At this time, the control unit 191 can implement a voice which is the same as or similar to the actual navigation through a speaker (step S160)

During the simulation as described above, the controller 153 may determine whether at least one of the passenger and the safety personnel is detached from the hull 110. [ Specifically, if at least one of the occupant and the security personnel deviates from the hull 110, the intensity at which the signal generated at the transmitter 151 of the lifting jacket 140 of the departing person is received at the receiver 152 may be different . In particular, the controller 153 can determine the position, the height, and the like of the person falling through (step S170)

The controller 153 may stop the operation of the driving unit 120 if it is determined that at least one of the occupant and the safety personnel is detached from the hull 110 as described above. At this time, the controller 153 can directly stop the driving unit 120, and the control unit 191 can stop the driving unit 120 by transmitting a signal to the control unit 191.

In addition to the above case, when the user inputs the emergency signal through the emergency signal input unit 181, the operation of the driving unit 120 may be stopped. For example, in a situation where at least one of the passenger and the safety personnel can be separated from the hull 110, a clothes or the like is caught in the driving unit 120 or the like, the user requests to stop the hull 110, 181. In operation S170,

At this time, when the emergency signal input unit 181 is input, the driving unit 120 may stop the operation. Specifically, the emergency signal input unit 181 and the driving unit 120 are connected by wire or silent, and the driving unit 120 may stop according to the emergency signal input. In another embodiment, the emergency signal input from the emergency signal input unit 181 is transmitted to the control unit 191, and the control unit 191 can stop the driving unit 120 based on the emergency signal. In another embodiment, when the emergency signal is input, the controller 153 may stop the driving unit 120. [ At this time, the driving unit 120 may be connected to the controller 153 in a wired or wireless manner.

Meanwhile, when the driving unit 120 operates as described above, a specific voice may be input to the voice recognition unit 160 from the user. For example, when the user utters a voice such as "STOP "," STOP ", or the like, the voice recognition unit 160 can recognize the voice of the user and transmit it to the control unit 191. [ At this time, the control unit 191 can control the driving unit 120 based on the voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 160. For example, when the voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 160 is the same as the predetermined voice preset in the control unit 191, the control unit 191 can stop driving the driving unit 120. [ At this time, the specific voice is not limited to the above, and the user can preset the voice in the control unit 191 (step S170)

In addition, when the driving unit 120 is operated as described above, the obstacle detection sensor unit 182 can detect an obstacle around the hull 110. [ At this time, the information detected by the obstacle detection sensor unit 182 may be transmitted to the control unit 191. In addition, the obstacle detection sensor unit 182 may detect the position of the obstacle and the distance to the obstacle and transmit the detected distance to the controller 191 (step S170)

The control unit 191 may stop the operation of the driving unit 120 when the obstacle is detected and it is determined that the obstacle is within a predetermined distance.

Meanwhile, when at least one of the occupant and the safety personnel does not deviate from the hull 110 or an emergency signal is not inputted, or when the user's voice does not coincide with a specific voice or when an obstacle is not found, 191 can continuously operate the driving unit 120 and the display unit 130. [

Thereafter, the controller 191 may terminate the simulation if the predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, the control unit 191 may terminate the simulation normally when the predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the simulation, when the preset program is terminated, when the simulation end signal is received, or the like (S180)

However, the control unit 191 can continue the simulation if the program does not terminate as long as the predetermined time has not elapsed. If the control unit 191 determines that at least one of the occupant and the safety personnel has departed, Whether an emergency signal is input, whether a specific voice is recognized, whether an obstacle is present, and the like can be continuously judged.

Therefore, the control method of the yacht simulator 100 and the yacht simulator can secure the safety of the user during the simulation. Particularly, the control method of the yacht simulator 100 and the yacht simulator can perform the simulation by determining whether the user is departing from the hull 110, whether a danger occurs, whether an obstacle is approaching the hull 110, or the like.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, it is possible to make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
