1 and 2, a golf wearable posture correcting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a sensor unit 20, a button switch 30, a control unit 40, an output unit (not shown) 50).

The housing 10 is formed to be attachable to the user's body.

Therefore, a waist clip 60 may be provided on one side surface 80 of the housing 10 so as to be worn on the user's waist.

The sensor unit 20 is installed inside the housing 10 and includes a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor to measure at least one of a rotation angle, an inclination angle and an inclination direction in real time.

The acceleration sensor is a sensor that measures the acceleration of an object. The values of gravitational acceleration acting on the sensor are expressed by the values of x, y, and z in three axial directions, and how gravitational forces act on each of x, y, and z It informs.

The gyro sensor tells you how much it tilts in the x-, y-, and z-axis direction and in which direction it is going.

Therefore, the rotation angle, the tilt angle and the inclination direction can be measured at the sensor unit through the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor.

The button switch 30 sets a first angle which is a target advancing direction of the golf ball 100 based on the information measured by the sensor unit 20 by the user's pushing operation.

For example, the target traveling direction of the golf ball 100 may be a hole formed in the golf field or a place where a flag is formed.

Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the user wears the housing 10 on his / her waist, looks at the flag or hole, and presses the button switch 30 to set the first angle. At this time, the golf ball 100 is placed between the user and a flag or a hole.

The button switch 30 is provided on the other side 70 of the housing 10.

The control unit 40 calculates a rotation value for taking an address posture based on the information measured by the sensor unit 20. [

The rotation value indicates the angle from the first angle to the second angle at the time when the user takes the address posture.

The address posture is an attitude taken by the user just before swinging the golf club while looking at the ball as shown in Fig.

The ideal address posture is formed by 90 degrees in the target direction and the user's body with respect to the golf ball 100 so as to send the golf ball 100 in the target direction.

5, when the housing 10 is formed with one point 90 of the housing 10 among the three axes (x, y, z) as the coordinate system as the x axis, the pitch of the x- And a roll rotation which is a rotation and a y-axis rotation.

Therefore, when the user wears the housing 10 on the waist and presses the button switch 30 to set the first angle as the reference angle, if the sensor unit 20 detects the rotation angle of the body to the address posture, The rotation value from the first angle to the second angle in the address position is calculated, so that the user can recognize the rotation value through the output unit 50.

In this way, the user can take the correct address posture through the rotation value displayed on the output unit 50.

Since the sensor unit 20 can detect the rotation angle regardless of the direction in which the housing 10 rotates and the control unit 40 can calculate the rotation value according to the rotation angle, ) Can be worn on the body.

The output unit 50 displays the rotation value calculated by the control unit 40.

When the inclination angle is less than a preset value, the control unit 40 calculates the inclination value based on the inclination angle, and the output unit displays the inclination value and the inclination direction.

Therefore, when the inclination angle is detected to be less than a predetermined value without any user's operation, the inclination value and the inclination direction are displayed on the output unit 50. When the inclination angle is detected to be equal to or larger than a preset value, do.

The inclination angle means the inclination angle of the ground when the housing 10 is placed on the ground as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when the golf ball 100 is placed in contact with the side surface 80 of the housing 10, the inclination angle and the oblique direction measured by the output unit 50 are displayed. Therefore, the inclination angle and the oblique direction of the path of the golf ball 100, Can be recognized.

As a result, accuracy in putting is increased by measuring the inclination angle and the inclination direction.

The predetermined value may be set to 45 degrees in consideration of the case where the anti-jumping 10 is worn on the user's waist. When the angle is more than 45 degrees, the sensor unit 20 detects a rotation angle that is not a tilt angle.

The output unit 50 may include a display unit. The display unit may be provided on the other side 70 of the housing 10, which is the same side as the button switch 30.

The display unit can display an oblique direction with an arrow.

The slope of the point 90 is measured with respect to an axis perpendicular to the ground as shown in Fig.

Therefore, when the user wears the housing 10 on the belt using the waist clip 60 of the housing 10, when one point 90 of the housing 10 is not formed at 90 degrees with the ground The sensor unit 20 detects the tilted angle and the control unit 40 calculates the rotation value corresponding to the tilt of the one point 90 so that the accurate rotation value can be calculated even when the housing 10 is tilted. .

Specifically, when the tilt of one point 90 coincides with the axis, the control unit calculates the rotation value based on the rotation angle of the housing 10 in accordance with the rotation of the pitch of the housing 10, The rotation value is calculated on the basis of the rotation angle of the housing in accordance with the rotation of the roll. When the slope of the one point 90 does not coincide with the axis or is not perpendicular to the axis, .

[Mathematical Expression]

Therefore, the vibration pattern of the vibration portion is determined based on the comparison result between the rotation value and the predetermined target rotation range.

That is, when the rotation value is less than the predetermined target rotation range, the vibration is made once. When the rotation value exceeds the preset target rotation range, the vibration is made twice, and when the rotation value is equal to the preset target rotation range , It is possible to make the vibration three times.

Therefore, the user can effectively take the correct address posture according to the number of vibrations.

The target rotation range can be formed from 89.5 degrees to 90.5 degrees to inform the user of the correct address attitude.

In addition, by pressing the button switch, even when the first angle is set, the user can be made to vibrate in the vibration portion to recognize that the first angle is accurately measured.
