Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a device for displaying data for golf using augmented reality,

The present invention relates to a data visualization device for golf using an augmented reality, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for measuring a distance between a golf ball and a hole, And an augmented reality capable of indicating a foot position and / or a swing trajectory of a golf club.

In general, golf is a sport game in which a golf ball is put into a hole cup by using a club on the green, and a player who puts a golf ball into a hole cup with a minimum number of balls is won.

Such a golf may determine the final position of the golf ball depending on the foot position at the time of swing, the angle of the club head at impact, and the trajectory of the club head at the time of swing, and may be warped to the left and right. In case of swing, the ball is bent toward the body after the swing, and if the foot comes forward (the close stance), the ball will be bent out of the body after the swing. Also, when the impact is applied, the left and right rotation of the ball is given according to the angle of the club head, which results in the ball being bent to the left and right. Therefore, golfers are trying to practice the ball with the same posture and the same swing each time through many exercises.

However, it is practically impossible to take the same postures in all swings, and many kinds of posture correction methods are being developed accordingly.

Korean Patent Publication No. 2015-0054181 describes a golf swing posture correcting device. The present invention allows the user to perceive the user's own knee movement, hip dislocation, upward movement of the upper arm, limitations of the backswing, and conditions for maintaining the center of the body at the time of follow and finishing by providing a frame and a limit bar at each position, It can not be used in a real golf course and has a disadvantage in that it is limited to uniformly apply to a person's body having various conditions.

In addition to the golf position, the most important factor in a golf game is to measure the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup. If this measurement is wrong, the golf ball is made to go to the wrong position and the car is increased. In the old days, the distance was measured using the human's senses at that time, but the distance measurement based on the human's eyes was error-prone, and the trained personnel replaced it. However, even for trained personnel, there are some errors, so various distance measuring devices are being developed.

Korean Patent No. 1456694 discloses a golf distance measuring apparatus including a memory, a GPS module, a processing unit, and an output unit. In this invention, a device for measuring the distance by using the current position measured by GPS and the latitude and longitude of the hole cup is described, but the method using GPS and latitude and longitude has a disadvantage .

As a result, the inventors of the present invention have found that an augmented reality capable of measuring a distance between a golf ball and a hole cup using an augmented reality and displaying a position of a user's foot, a swing trajectory, And the device has been used. As a result, it has been confirmed that a constant address can be obtained in the meg swing and a precise distance can be measured, thereby reducing the number of golf balls. Thus, the present invention has been completed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a data visualization device for golf using an augmented reality.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a golf ball comprising: (a) distance measuring means for measuring a distance between a golf ball and a hole; (b) a direction designation means for designating an address direction of the user; (c) angle measuring means for measuring a difference in height between the golf ball and the hole; And (d) means for displaying the measured direction, distance and elevation difference.

The data demonstration device for golf using the augmented reality according to the present invention is useful for reducing the number of golf balls because it informs the user of the distance to the correct hole cup, displays the correct address direction at every swing, and indicates the expected arrival point of the ball .

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. In general, the nomenclature used herein is well known and commonly used in the art.

In the present invention, the user uses the augmented reality to display the distance between the golf ball and the hole, the position of the stance, the swing trajectory, and the correct address direction on the display. As a result, we found that the user's swing was correct and that there was a reduction in batting.

Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides a golf ball comprising: (a) distance measuring means for measuring a distance between a golf ball and a hole; (b) a direction designation means for designating an address direction of the user; (c) angle measuring means for measuring a difference in height between the golf ball and the hole; And (d) means for displaying the measured direction, distance and elevation difference.

In the present invention, the distance measuring means may include: (i) means for measuring a length of a golf flag in a video, measuring the length of the golf flag relative to the length of the actual golf flag; (ii) means for photographing a hole cup as a photographing means, measuring the shape of the hole cup in the image, comparing the actual hole cup with the shape of the hole, and measuring the distance of the hole to the hole cup; (iii) means for measuring the distance by triangulation using the position of the golf ball, the position at which the user has moved a certain distance from the golf ball, and the position of the hole; And (iv) a means for measuring the distance by emitting a laser to the golf flag and using the difference between the firing time and the reflected time.

In the present invention, the means for measuring the distance between the golf ball 240 and the hole cup 260 is roughly divided into four. The flags 100 having the same length are always inserted into the hole cup 260 when the hole cup 260 is far away from the flap 100. The length of the flap 100 can be measured. When the flag is photographed, the length of the flag in the image can be known, and the length of the flag in the image becomes smaller according to the distance. However, since the length of the actual flag is fixed, the distance between the actual flag and the length of the flag (130).

The second distance measuring method is to use the hole cup 260. Most of the time when the hole cup comes close enough to swing or putt, the flags in the hole cup are removed. In this case, since the size of the hole cup is a predetermined size, the distance between the hole and the hole cup can be measured by using a circle or an ellipse having the same shape as the hole cup after measuring the size and shape of the hole cup.

The third distance measuring method uses triangulation to recognize the position of the hole 260 while the user stands at the position of the golf ball 240 and then recognizes the position of the line 200 connecting the hole 260 and the golf ball 240. [ And the position of the hole 260 is recognized again (250). Thereafter, the distance between the hole 210 and the golf ball-moving position-hole cup may be substituted into the triangulation method to calculate the distance between the hole cup and the golf ball.

The fourth method is to measure the firing time by emitting the laser to the golf flag by using the laser method, and when the reflected laser is recognized and the time is measured, the distance can be measured by this time difference.

In the present invention, the distance measuring means may use the difference in altitude measured in the step (c) to add a distance when the height of the hole is higher than the height of the golf ball, decrease the distance when the height of the hole is low, And the distance to be measured is calculated. Even if the distance is measured by the above method, if the position of the hole is higher than the golf ball, the golf ball must be sent farther than when it is in the horizontal position, and in the opposite case, the golf ball should be sent closer. Therefore, by correcting these differences and calculating the distance of the actual ball, it is possible to send the golf ball more accurately.

In the present invention, the direction indicating means displays a line connecting the golf ball and the target point, displays a parallel line spaced apart by a certain distance according to the type of the golf ball inputted by the user, And the second means is a means. The exact address is required to send the golf ball to the desired destination. If the direction of the address is the most important factor that determines the left and right direction of the golf ball, if only the direction of the address is correct, the golf ball can be sent to the desired point with a minimum error. At this time, the address direction is mostly parallel to the line formed by the golf ball and the desired target point, and the distance between the target point and the line formed by the golf ball is determined according to the length of the golf club. Therefore, when the user inputs the type of golf club, a line having a predetermined interval, which is parallel to the line formed by the target point and the golf ball, can be displayed on the display means. If the address is determined based on the parallel line, . Also, since the direction of the golf ball is determined according to the center of the user's body and the position of the feet, it is preferable to display the golf ball on the display so that the swing can be accurately performed.

In the present invention, the display means may be a display means for displaying an image in a direction coinciding with a user's eyeglasses or a line of sight, and allowing the user to recognize data regardless of the direction of the user's line of sight. The display may be a generally used cellular phone. However, when using a mobile phone, it is preferable to check the data in real time and calibrate the posture by using a display means installed in the glasses or projecting the image in a direction coinciding with the sight line of the user, since it is difficult to check the data in real time during swing .

In the present invention, the golf data visualizing device may further include (c ') means for displaying a predicted drop position of the golf ball using the predicted swing trajectory of the user and the speed of the golf head upon swing inputted by the user . &Lt; / RTI > Even if the address position of the user is determined in the above manner, the distance of the golf ball may vary depending on the speed of the golf head at the time of impact. Therefore, if the estimated drop position of the golf ball is displayed based on the golf head speed inputted by the user, more accurate swing can be performed.

[Example]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and that the scope of the present invention is not construed as being limited by these embodiments.

Example : Data for golf using augmented reality

Since the user performs the swing by using both hands, it is preferable to use a spectacles type device for the convenience of the user. The user measures the distance between the golf ball and the hole using a distance measuring means before swinging. At this time, since the user views the golf flag to measure the distance using the spectacles type device, the altitude difference between the golf ball and the hole is simultaneously measured using the angle measuring means. The actual distance is calculated by adding a correction value according to the altitude difference at the measured distance and then the measured altitude difference, distance and actual distance are displayed on the display means and the direction of the user is indicated using the direction indicating means do.

The addressing direction is generally parallel to the target direction, which may indicate a line parallel to the line connecting the golf ball and the target point. At this time, since the distance between the line connecting the golf ball and the target point and the distance between the address direction lines is different according to the arm length of each user and the type of golf club, the arm length uses data previously input by the user, It is possible to display the appropriate address interval by inputting the type of golf club previously selected.

When the address position is displayed, the open stance and the close stance can be selected to display the positions of the feet on the screen, and the center position of the body based on the user's shoulder position is also displayed on the screen. At this time, since the user uses a display device such as a glasses type display or a visual direction, it is possible to check and correct the address direction and the center of the body in real time while entering the swing posture.

When the address is completed, the virtual swing trajectory of the user is displayed on the display means, and the swing speed and the stance position entered in advance are comprehensively calculated, and the final expected drop point is displayed on the display means.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will appreciate that such specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments and that the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto will be.
