Description

Screen Golf System {SCREEN GOLF SYSTEM}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a screen golf system, and more particularly, to a screen golf system to which user authentication is applied to reliably prevent leakage of personal authentication information using biometric information of a user.

In recent information society, it is required to certify individuals in various fields. In particular, there is a growing need for authentication for users in a system that provides a predetermined service to a user. For example, a user who uses a portal service such as Naver, Gmail, or the like visits an Internet site of the service and inputs his / her ID and password to complete the authentication of the user himself / herself, Various services such as e-mail can be used.

The most common way to authenticate a user is to enter the user's ID and password. However, in the authentication method using the ID and the password, the ID and the password are leaked to another person through hacking or the like, and the personal information can be abused. In addition, in recent years, it is common that a single user uses a plurality of sites. Once an ID and a password are leaked, a large amount of damage may occur all at once in a plurality of sites to which the user is subscribed. Of course, although the user can set the ID and password for each of the plurality of sites differently, it is practically impossible to accurately memorize the ID and password of each of the plurality of sites.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop an authentication system that does not need to be memorized directly by the user, and does not have to be leaked to another person at the same time. Particularly, recently, simulating devices capable of enjoying sports games without using the 3D stereoscopic image and computer simulating technology have been developed. In such simulating devices for sports games, there is a strong need for user authentication Is required. For example, in the case of screen golf for golf, since the golf is not a group game but an individual record game, it is necessary to store the record of the user's play and to refer to the user every time he needs it. In order to do this, the identity of each user who is playing a screen golf must be confirmed, so user authentication is highly required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing apparatus and method which can reliably block leakage of personal authentication information by using physical state information that can be changed according to a user's physical state, And it is an object of the present invention to provide a screen golf system capable of providing appropriate advice to reach a best condition or to avoid worst condition.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a screen golf system including a supply unit for providing a screen golf service and a measurement unit for measuring a biometric information of a user using the screen golf service. Wherein the biometric information includes at least one or more pieces of physical condition information that can be changed according to a user's physical condition at the time of measurement, And provides a predetermined advice to the user based on the comparison result of the measured values.

A first difference value which is a difference between a measured value of the physical condition information measured at the first time point and the previously stored measured value and a measured value of the physical condition information measured at the second time point, Comparing the first difference value with a second difference value that is a difference from the stored measurement value, and if the first difference value is greater than the second difference value, in order to derive a body condition corresponding to the previously stored measurement value, An action or a play made by the user between the first and second time points may be encouraged.

A first difference value which is a difference between a measured value of the physical condition information measured at the first time point and the previously stored measured value and a measured value of the physical condition information measured at the second time point, And comparing the second difference value, which is a difference between the measured difference value and the stored difference value, to avoid moving away from the body state corresponding to the previously stored measurement value if the second difference value is larger than the first difference value, The advice may stop the action or play made by the user between the first and second time points.

The screen golf system further includes an authentication unit that performs authentication of the user based on the biometric information measured by the measurement unit, wherein the supply unit communicates with the authentication unit, and when the authentication of the user is completed in the authentication unit To provide the user with a screen golf service.

Here, the biometric information may include at least one of electrocardiogram and optical pulse wave. Further, the supply unit may include a plurality of units, and the authentication unit may include a server connected to the plurality of supply units, and may also provide the advice on behalf of the plurality of supply units. The biometric information is measured at the time of authentication, and may be transmitted from the measurement unit to the authentication unit via the mobile device after being received by the mobile device.

According to the screen golf system of the present invention, it is possible to provide the user with appropriate advice to reach the best condition or avoid the worst condition based on the physical condition information that can be changed according to the user's physical condition, By using the authentication by the information, the outflow of the individual authentication information can be reliably prevented.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a user authentication system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a user authentication system 100 includes a measurement unit 110, an authentication unit 120, and a supply unit 130. The authentication unit 120 performs authentication using the authentication information measured by the measurement unit 110. The authentication unit 120 performs authentication after the authentication is completed And provides a predetermined service desired by the user to the user.

In the user authentication system according to the present invention, authentication is performed by using the user's own biometric information as authentication information instead of the widely used ID and password system. To this end, a measurement unit 110 for measuring biometric information ) Is required. In the case of an ID and a password method, there is a fear that it may be leaked to the outside, and if the user has a plurality of IDs and passwords, it is difficult to accurately memorize them individually. However, when biometric information is used as the authentication information, there is no fear of leakage to the outside, which is convenient because it is safe and the user does not need to memorize the ID and password.

A wide variety of biometric information such as fingerprints and irises can be used as biometric information usable as a user authentication means. For example, since fingerprints are well known for identifying individuals, such as those used for identification cards or used as a barrier when there is no painting, the present invention can also be usefully used as biometric information for authentication.

However, rather than biometric information such as fingerprints or irregularities, it is preferable to use physical condition information that is attached to the user's body and can be measured according to the user's physical condition at the time of measurement and is not fixed to a specific value. This is because, for example, in the case of a fingerprint, it is fixed in a fixed state and there is no room for fluctuation. On the other hand, the physical condition information measured and attached to the user's body is not available to the third person unless the user himself or herself is measuring it, and the measurement result is not one value that is specified but varies slightly depending on the physical condition If it is possible, there is an advantage that it can block the possibility of copying originally. Examples of such physical condition information include an electrocardiogram and an optic pulse wave.

Electrocardiogram is a picture of electrical changes that occur locally due to cardiac activity. Since electrical changes are transmitted to human tissues and reach the surface of the body, electrodes are attached to specific parts of the body surface, Can be measured. Since the waveform diagram representing the electrocardiogram is different for each individual, the electrocardiogram can be used as biometric information for authenticating the user.

Photoplethysmograph is an optically measured plethysmogram, a graph of the volume measurement method for the body organs. Photoperiodic pulse waves are often measured by measuring the change in absorbance of light after irradiating the skin. The measured signals are different for each individual and can be used as authentication means.

Physical condition information such as electrocardiogram and optical pulse wave is not a constant value but appears as a waveform. Since this waveform can be slightly changed according to the user's state at the time of measurement, it is possible to prevent cloning or leakage to the outside have. However, since the waveform may be somewhat different according to the body state at the time of measurement, there is no possibility that the accuracy is lowered in analyzing the individual by analyzing the waveform. However, in the present invention, (For example, both an electrocardiogram and an optical pulse wave), and the authentication unit 120 performs authentication for each of a plurality of pieces of physical condition information so that the authentication is configured to be double or triple. That is, in the present invention, authentication is performed multiple times for a plurality of pieces of physical condition information, so that the accuracy of authentication can be improved to 100%.

Fig. 2 is a view showing an example of a measuring instrument which can be used as the measuring section of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a state of use of the measuring instrument of Fig. 2;

Referring to FIG. 2, the measuring instrument 110a has a wristwatch-like structure so as to be worn on the user's wrist. The measuring device 110a includes a cover 111, an upper electrode 112, a lower electrode 113, a connecting portion 114, a body 115, a status display portion 116, and a wireless communication portion 117. The cover 111 is disposed at the outermost upper portion of the measuring instrument 110a to cover the body 115. [ The upper electrode 112 and the lower electrode 113 are electrodes for measuring the user's authentication information by an electrical signal. The connection portion 114 is a portion that is electrically connected to the upper electrode 112 and may be formed in a pin shape and the body 115 is a portion in which an operation of measuring a user's authentication information is performed when the electrical connection is substantially made . The status display unit 116 is a part indicating the current state of the measuring instrument 110a, the operating state during measurement, and the like, and may be constituted by, for example, an LED lamp. The wireless communication unit 117 measures the authentication information of the user and then transmits the authentication information to the means capable of performing the authentication using the authentication information. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the measuring instrument 110a has a connection portion that can be connected to a connection means such as a USB cable, so that power can be supplied or charged through the USB cable.

3, when the user uses the measuring device 110a, the user wears the measuring device 110a on the wrist and presses the upper electrode 112 to measure the actual biometric information .

In the case of physical condition information such as electrocardiogram (ECG), a plurality of electrodes (10 or more) are attached to each part of the body when it is measured in a hospital, and the more the number of electrodes, the more accurate the measurement is. Therefore, even in the case of the measuring unit 110 of the present invention, it is preferable to use as many electrodes as possible. However, it may be inconvenient or annoying that a user attaches a plurality of electrodes and measures authentication information according to actual circumstances in which the measurement is performed. For example, if a user wants to enjoy an indoor sports game such as screen golf or screen baseball, it is important to enjoy sports by using leisure. Therefore, it is troublesome to attach a plurality of electrodes for authentication before actual game . In this case, if the measuring device 110a as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is used, the structure of the measuring device 110a is simple and the measuring procedure is simple. Therefore, can do. In the case of the measuring instrument 110a as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the possibility that the accuracy of authentication may be somewhat lowered due to the small number of electrodes can not be excluded at all. However, in the present invention, Since a plurality of pieces of physical condition information are measured and double checked, it is possible to prevent the concern about the inaccuracy of authentication that may occur by using the measuring device 110a having a small number of electrodes.

The measuring unit 110a shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is merely an example of an apparatus that can be used as the measuring unit 110, and the measuring unit 110 is not limited to such an apparatus. For example, an apparatus capable of measuring biometric information such as an electrocardiogram or an optical pulse wave with more electrodes may be used. When the biometric information for authentication is a fingerprint, a device having a portion that contacts the fingerprint of the finger may be used instead of the device to be worn on the wrist. On the other hand, the measuring unit 110 not only measures biometric information required for authentication such as an electrocardiogram or an optical pulse wave but also measures other biometric information not directly used for authentication, which will be described later.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the authentication information measured by the measuring unit 110 is transmitted to the authentication unit 120. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the authentication unit 120 may incorporate a database for storing authentication information for each user, or may refer to information about a user stored in the database by communicating with a database provided separately. Therefore, the authentication unit 120 can perform authentication for the user by comparing the authentication information measured by the measurement unit 110 with the stored information of the database.

If the user uses the service provided by the supply unit 130 for the first time, the information necessary for user authentication is input and stored in the database (this corresponds to setting the ID and password for the first time in the login method of the ID and password) do). Thereafter, when the user uses the service again, the user is authenticated by comparing the data measured by the measuring unit 110 and the data stored in the database at the time of use.

Electrocardiogram and optical pulse waves are physical condition information that can slightly change the measurement result according to the state of the user at the time of measurement. For example, the result of measurement in a state where the user is breathing after a violent exercise and the result of measurement in a normal stable state may be different. Therefore, in order to improve the reproducibility of the measurement, it is preferable that measurement is performed in a stable state as usual. In addition, the authentication can be performed only once, but if necessary, the number of times of measurement can be increased to further increase the accuracy of the authentication.

When the user wants to measure in a stable state without taking a breath, the user can take a deep breath and be guided to a normal stable state. Or in a case where it is determined that the state has become objectively stable based on an objective judgment criterion which is a stable state. In the process of determining that it has become objectively stable, the physical condition information used for authentication such as electrocardiogram or optical pulse wave may be used or additional physical condition information not used for authentication may be used. For example, in the authentication unit 120, when additional physical state information such as pulse and blood pressure is measured by the measuring unit 110 and the measured value deviates greatly from the normal category of the normal person, the electrocardiogram measured as the authentication information and the optical volume The authentication is not carried out using the pulse wave and authentication is performed using the electrocardiogram or the optical pulse wave measured as the authentication information when it is determined that the additional physical state information such as the pulse and the blood pressure has returned to the normal state of the normal person .

In this process, when it is determined that the current user is in a difficulty of performing normal authentication due to his / her shortness of breath, the user is advised to send an advice message such as " The user can be guided to a stable and measurable state. Further, when the physical condition of the user grasped from the physical condition information such as electrocardiogram, optical pulse wave, blood pressure, pulse and the like is determined to be abnormal to the extent of the possibility of illness, the authentication unit 120 instructs the user " It is recommended that you check your health condition at the hospital because you do not have to. " Such advise message may be delivered directly by the authentication unit 120 or may be delivered through the supply unit 130. [

On the other hand, the physical condition information used for authentication such as electrocardiogram or optical pulse wave and the additional physical condition information such as pulse and blood pressure can be separately measured or simultaneously measured.

The supply unit 130 communicates with the authentication unit 120 by wire or wireless, and provides a predetermined service to the user when the authentication of the user is completed in the authentication unit 120. There is no limit to the service that can be provided by the supply unit 130. For example, it can be a sports such as screen golf or baseball which is widely popularized as an indoor sport, or it can be a variety of sports such as a karaoke, a game room, a cartoon room, Services, and the like.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, a separate input for additional authentication may also be provided. Some of the users may prefer the conventional ID and password method rather than the authentication using biometric information, and an input unit for receiving the ID and password as in the conventional method is provided for the user. Or for the purpose of supplementing authentication using biometric information, such as when it is difficult to obtain objective physical condition information that can not be authenticated because the measurement information of the authentication information can not be measured due to a malfunction of the measuring device or the user's physical condition is unstable An input section can be used. The input unit may be included in the authentication unit 120 or may be provided in the supply unit 130 to transmit the ID and the password input from the supply unit 130 to the authentication unit 120, .

Although the measuring unit 110, the authenticating unit 120, and the supplying unit 130 are separately provided in the present embodiment, these three components are described separately according to their roles, and a plurality of May be combined to perform a plurality of roles in a single component. For example, the authentication unit 120 and the supply unit 130 may be formed of one component so that authentication can be completed and a predetermined service can be provided by the single component. Alternatively, the measurement unit 110 and the authentication unit 120 or the measurement unit 110 and the supply unit 130 may be formed as one component. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the simple portable meter 110a The structure of the measuring device is simple and may have some limitations in order to make the function of the authentication unit 120 or the supply unit 130 to be as simple as that of the measuring unit. Alternatively, the measuring unit 110, the authentication unit 120, and the supplying unit 130 may all be configured to perform three functions simultaneously. The construction of at least two of the measuring unit 110, the authentication unit 120 and the supplying unit 130 will not be repeated in the following embodiments, Of course.

4 is a schematic block diagram of a user authentication system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the user authentication system 100 includes a measuring unit 110, an authentication unit 120, a supplying unit 130, and a connecting unit 140. The main difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the fact that the communication unit 140 is further added so that the measurement unit 110, the authentication unit 120, and the supply unit 130 will be briefly described, ) In the following description.

The measuring unit 110 is for measuring authentication information required for authentication, and the user's own biometric information can be used as the authentication information. The biometric information usable as the authentication means of the user includes biometric information having a fixed value irrespective of the user's physical condition at the time of measurement such as fingerprint or iris, or biometric information having a fixed value such as an electrocardiogram or an optic volumetric pulse, And biometric information in which the measurement result may be changed. In addition, physical condition information that is not directly used as authentication information such as a pulse or a blood pressure can be measured.

The authentication unit 120 performs authentication for the user using the authentication information measured by the measurement unit 110. [ The supplying unit 130 provides a predetermined service to the user when the authentication of the user is completed in the authentication unit 120. [ The service that can be provided by the supply unit 130 may include a variety of services such as sports such as screen golf, baseball, karaoke, game room, comic book, video room, and the like.

The communication unit 140 serves as an intermediary for transferring the authentication information measured by the measurement unit 110 to the authentication unit 120. [ In this case, the authentication unit 120 may receive the authentication information measured by the measurement unit 110 and may be connected to the authentication unit 120 to transmit the authentication information. It is convenient for the user to be provided with the communication unit 140. A portable device that can be easily carried and can use the Internet can be used as the communication unit 140, for example, a user's own mobile phone can be used. That is, the mobile phone is provided with an application for communicating with the server of the authentication unit 120 so as to allow a remote login, and through the application, the authentication information of the user is measured, authenticated, and logged in to provide a predetermined service You can deliver the appropriate help so that the user can easily navigate through the process.

Specifically, when the measuring unit 110 is the measuring device 110a shown in FIG. 2,

"Please check the upper electrode (112)", "The result of measurement is unstable, please take a deep breath and stabilize your mind and body", " And can help the user to easily measure the biometric information.

In addition, the communicating unit 140 is also connected to the authenticating unit 120, and when the user's body information is received, transmits the same to the authenticating unit 120. For example, after the communication unit 140 requests the user to measure the authentication information using the measurement unit 110, when the measured authentication information is received from the measurement unit 110, the communication unit 140 transmits the authentication information to the authentication unit 120, for

The user can be informed of the status of the authentication process while displaying a message such as " Please wait while the authentication is currently being performed ". Further, as described in the first embodiment, according to the present invention, when it is determined that the physical condition of the user, which is grasped from the physical condition information such as electrocardiogram, optical pulse wave, blood pressure, pulse, etc., , It is possible to convey a medical advice message such as " recommending the user to check the health condition in the hospital ", and this medical advice message can also be easily transmitted through the communication unit 140.

As described above, the communication unit 140 may serve as a user interface for transmitting necessary information between the measurement unit 110 and the authentication unit 130 and for transmitting an appropriate guidance message to the user .

Each of the plurality of service stages 150a, 150b, 150c, and 150d is provided with a measurement unit 110, a supply unit 130, and a connection unit 140. The main difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment lies in that a plurality of measuring units 110, a supplying unit 130, and the like are provided in that the connecting unit 140 is provided to serve as a user interface. When there are a plurality of users who want to use predetermined services such as screen golf or baseball, it is preferable that a plurality of stages are provided to supply services so that each group can use the services at the same time.

The authentication unit 120 is not provided for each service stage 150 but is configured to communicate with a plurality of service stages 150 in a single unit. Specifically, the authentication unit 120 may include a server that can be connected to any of the plurality of service stages 150. [ In addition, the user can use his / her cellular phone as the communication unit 140 to transmit the authentication information from the measurement unit 110 to the authentication unit 120 through an application installed in the cellular phone. In addition, the user can receive a guidance message or the like to assist the user in the authentication process through the application.

The authentication unit 120 may include a database for storing information necessary for user authentication or may use the information stored in the database. Accordingly, when a specific user measures his or her biometric information while using a screen golf service for the first time in a specific service stage 150a, it is stored in the database of the authentication unit 120, and the same user subsequently uses another service stage 150b When it is desired to use the service, the user authentication can be performed by comparing the authentication information stored in the database with the authentication information measured in the service stage 150b.

An embodiment of a user authentication system using biometric information as authentication information has been described. Hereinafter, a specific example in which the authentication system described above is applied will be described. Since the authentication system can be applied to various fields, a specific example can not be examined individually. Here, a description will be made of a case in which the present invention is applied to a screen golf which has been rapidly spreading in recent years.

6 is a schematic configuration diagram of a screen golf system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the screen golf system 200 according to the present embodiment includes an authentication unit 220 and a plurality of intermediate management units 260. Recently, screen golf service providers often operate with a large number of branches nationwide. In addition, each branch has a number of rooms that can use screen golf, so that a plurality of users can simultaneously use screen golf in each room. The present embodiment is a screen golf system 200 that can be applied to this recent business method. In comparison with the above business method, the authentication unit 220 includes a central server capable of managing a plurality of business points integrally . In addition, each of the plurality of intermediate management units 260a and 260b corresponds to each of a plurality of business points. The intermediate management unit 260 is connected to and manages a plurality of service stages 250 where each of a plurality of service stages 250a, 250b, 250c, and 250d corresponds to a plurality of screen golf rooms at each branch . Here, the intermediate management unit 260 is not necessarily essential, so that the authentication unit 220 and all the service stages 250 can communicate with each other.

The service stage 250 is provided with a measuring unit 210, a supplying unit 230, and a connecting unit 240. The measuring unit 210 measures authentication information required for authentication and the authentication unit 220 performs authentication using the authentication information measured by the measuring unit 210. The supplying unit 230 performs authentication after the authentication is completed And provides a predetermined service desired by the user to the user.

A mat 236 is laid on the plate 234 and a hit golf ball is recovered through the slope 232 in the playground 234 at a position where the mat 236 is provided, The ball feeder 237 is embedded. The ball feeding device 237 is provided with an auto tee 238 so as to be movable upward and downward and provides golf balls for the progress of the game one by one on the mat 236.

In the course of screen golf, when a user hits the golf ball placed on the mat 236 at the batting seat 235 toward the front screen 231, the hit golf ball collides with the screen 231, The golf ball rolled through the portion 232 and returned to the ball feeder 237 side and the golf ball recovered to the ball feeder 237 side passes through the mat 236 to move up and down the autotile 238 So that the user can be hit again by the action.

8 is only an example of a supply unit 230 capable of providing screen golf services, and the supply unit 230 is not limited to the structure shown in Fig. 8, although the supply unit 230 includes the most components involved in providing screen golf, the range of the supply unit 230 may be reduced according to the viewpoint. For example, in the present invention, the main role of the supplying unit 230 is to contact the authentication unit 220 or the intermediate management unit 260 to confirm whether the authentication is completed, and to allow the screen golf service to be provided accordingly Therefore, the controller 2333 can be regarded as the main configuration in this point of view. Accordingly, the range of the supply unit 230 can be reduced by only the controller 233, and the equipment provided in the remaining room can be regarded as an additional facility. In this regard, the operation of the controller 233 will be described in more detail below.

Fig. 9 is a schematic configuration diagram of the controller of Fig. 8. Fig.

Referring to FIG. 9, the controller 233 includes a control unit 2331, an input unit 2332, an output unit 2333, an advice providing unit 2334, and a sensing unit 2335. The controller 2331 communicates with the input unit 2332, the output unit 2333, the advice provider 2334, and the sensing unit 2335 in the controller 233 and contacts the authentication unit 220 externally. Through this, necessary information is obtained, and a golf simulation program showing an environment similar to an actual outdoor golf course is executed and a screen golf service is provided to the user.

The input unit 2332 includes a card reader 2332a, a keyboard (and / or mouse) 2332b, and the like. The card reader 2332a can authenticate the user by identifying the user information from the membership card in which the user's information is embedded, and the keyboard 2332b can authenticate the user, The user can directly authenticate the user by inputting his / her ID and password. The authentication unit 220 actually performs authentication based on the information input from the input unit 2332. The input information is transmitted to the authentication unit 220 through the control unit 2331. The authentication unit 220 includes a database such as a user body information DB 221 in which user information is stored, And compares the stored information to perform authentication of the user. Since the database is processed by the authentication unit 220 including a central management server that integrally manages a plurality of service stages 250, the service stage (for example, 250a) For example, even if screen golf is performed at 250d, the authentication can be performed without any problem.

The authentication through the input unit 2332 is performed in a conventional manner. The authentication in the present invention is performed by measuring the biometric information of the user in the measuring unit 210, and the authentication through the input unit 2332 is performed through the biometric information. It is not necessary because it complements the certification. That is, when the user prefers the conventional ID and password method rather than the biometric information authentication, or when the measurement part 210 has a problem and the authentication does not proceed smoothly, The input unit 2332 may be used for the purpose. On the other hand, the input unit 2332 may be constituted by a touch screen to simultaneously serve as an input / output unit. Alternatively, the input unit 2332 may input various commands inputted by the user in addition to the authentication, and may receive the desired operation desired by the user and process it in the control unit 2331.

The output unit 2333 includes an image processing unit 2333a and an audio processing unit 2333b. The image processor 2333a includes a device such as a beam projector. The image processor 2333a projects an image of a virtual outdoor golf course on the screen under the control of the controller 2331, And the swing information of the user (for example, the swing posture and the club trajectory), and implements the simulation. The voice processing unit 2333b includes a device such as a speaker and transmits various voice information such as various guidance messages and support messages (for example, messages such as 'good shot' and 'fighting') to the user using the screen golf service to provide.

The advice provider 2334 is for providing a predetermined advice to the user. The advice provided in the advice provider 2334 may be provided as time information through the image processing unit 2333a or may be provided as audio information through the audio processing unit 2333b. Alternatively, though not shown in the figure, the advice may be transmitted to the user's cellular phone used as the communication unit 240 and provided through the cellular phone. However, in this case, the application programmed to use these services must be installed in advance in the mobile phone. The advice includes a message for the convenience of the user, such as a guidance message or a cheering message, and these messages, as well as the advice, may also include other messages that may aid the user in playing golf.

The sensing unit 2335 senses various information such as the user's golf play. For example, the sensing unit 2335 senses an action of hitting the golf ball, a trajectory of the golf ball, and transmits the sensed motion to the control unit 1331. The control unit 2331 determines whether the golf ball is hit The result of the following can be simulated and displayed through the output unit 2333. In addition, the sensing unit 2335 may capture a user's hitting the golf ball including a camera or the like. Since the hit position of golf greatly affects the performance, it is possible to photograph the user's batting posture and display it to the user through the output unit 2333 via the control unit 2331. [ Alternatively, if the user is stored in the database of the authentication unit 220 via the control unit 2331, the user can execute the application installed here using his / her mobile device corresponding to the contact unit 240, It may be restored and referenced.

A feature of the present invention is authentication using biometric information of a user. Particularly, as the biometric information, physical condition information such as an electrocardiogram or an optical pulse wave which can be changed in a user's state at the time of measurement is used. The body condition information is necessary for authentication. However, when a measuring instrument that can be easily worn on a part of the body is used as shown in FIG. 2, the body condition information is measured by wearing the measuring instrument even during the screen golf . In addition to the biometric information that can be used as the authentication means, the biometric information may also include physical status information such as a pulse or blood pressure. As described above, the biometric information measured during the screen golf may be transmitted to the authentication unit 220 in the same manner as in the case of 'authentication', and may be provided to the advice unit 2334 of the controller 233 in the authentication unit 220, Sensing unit 2335 and can be provided to the advice provider 2334.

The advice provider 2334 analyzes the provided user's physical condition information and selects an advise corresponding to the advice, and provides the advice to the user through the output unit 2333 through video or voice.

Regardless of the physical state information used for authentication or the physical state information not used for authentication, an important point differentiating from the prior art in the present invention is that the physical state information which can be changed according to the user's condition at the time of measurement Therefore, it is possible to advise the user in accordance with the physical condition of the user at the moment of measurement.

For example, if a pulse is measured and the value is out of the normal numerical range, you can advise the user to briefly calm down and calm down.

In addition, the advice provider 2334 may provide advice on the health of the user. Since the physical condition information such as blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram, and optical pulse wave is information that can grasp an individual's health condition, the user can be provided with advice on health based on the measurement result. For example, if the user's blood pressure is hypertension or hypotension that requires treatment, advice such as " blood pressure is too high (low) to go to the hospital and check. &Quot; It is very useful from the viewpoint of the user because it can receive a simple medical examination while enjoying screen golf.

As another example, the advice provider 2334 can advise the user to reach or maintain the best condition. People usually say 'condition' when doing sports or sports. In other words, good condition results in better results than usual, and bad condition results in bad results. However, whether the condition was good or bad was judged only by the feeling of the individual. However, in the case of measuring the physical condition information which may be changed according to the physical condition of the user as in the present invention, the physical condition information may be used to provide an objective basis for judging whether the condition of the individual is good or bad. For example, when measuring physical condition information including electrocardiogram, optic pulse wave, blood pressure, pulse, etc., when the value is 'A' or a similar value, good result in golf play A ', or' B 'or a similar value. If you get bad results in golf play (such as failing to put a putt or failing to make an easy putting, etc.),' A ' Can be used as an indicator of good condition and 'B' can be used as an indicator of bad condition. Accordingly, 'A' or 'B' may be stored in the database of the authentication unit 220 and utilized whenever necessary.

If the physical condition information such as 'A' or 'B' that can determine the condition of the user is stored in the database of the authentication unit 220, for example, various methods are used so that the user can reach or maintain the best condition For example, the following method can be used.

10 is a flowchart schematically showing a process of providing advice in the controller of FIG.

First, in a first step S1, a measurement value V corresponding to a best condition (or worst condition) is stored. In this regard, it is possible for the user to select the self-selecting device or to automatically store the device V in the best condition (or worst condition). Since the user himself / herself can best understand the physical condition of the individual, the user can save the measured physical condition information himself / herself if the current state is the best condition, even though the result in the golf play is not the highest level. Or even if the result in the golf play is not the worst, the user can save the current measured physical condition information by itself if it judges that the current condition is the worst condition. This storage operation may be accomplished by issuing a 'save command' via input 2332. Or an application that connects to a central server of the authentication unit 220 to a mobile device that can be used as the communication unit 240 and through this application. The control unit 1331 can check the play result of the user through the sensing unit 233 so that the physical state information when the best play comes out and the body when the worst play comes out Status information can be automatically saved.

By using the stored information, for example, when the user warms up before starting a substantial round of golf play, it is possible to compare whether the physical state information measured in the warm-up state is approximate to the low device (V) have. Concretely, the body condition information in the warm-up state is close to the best condition low apparatus V, and advice such as " the current condition is the best and soon, please start playing. &Quot; Or if the body condition information in the warm-up state is significantly different from the best-condition low-level device (V), the user can be advised to reach the best condition by advising the user " have.

In the second step S2, the first difference? 1, which is a difference from the best condition at the first time point t1, is measured. In the third step S3, the second time point t2 2), which is a difference between the best condition and the best condition. Between the first point in time t1 and the second point in time t2, the user takes a specific action, such as warming up, swinging practice, or playing a real golf game (e.g., waking up, sitting up, Etc).

In the fourth step S4, the first difference? 1 is compared with the second difference? 2. If the second difference [Delta] 2 is smaller than the first difference [Delta] 1, this indicates that the action taken by the user between the first point in time t1 and the second point in time t2 helps to reach the best condition. Accordingly, in the fifth step S5, the advice provider 2334 can provide the adviser to recommend the action, thereby guiding the user to reach the best condition more efficiently. Conversely, if the second difference [Delta] 2 is greater than the first difference [Delta] l, this indicates that the action taken by the user between the first point in time tl and the second point in time t2 is not helpful in reaching the best condition . Therefore, in the sixth step S6, the advice provider 2334 can provide an advisor for stopping the action, thereby preventing the user's condition from being deteriorated.

Although it is not shown in the drawing, when the first difference? 1 and the second difference? 2 are close to each other so that it is unlikely that there is the same or substantially different difference, the difference between the first difference? 1 and the second difference? Since it is difficult to determine whether the action is favorable, it may be advised to take the action again and then re-evaluate, or else it may be advised to take an action to postpone the evaluation of the action and evaluate another action.

In any case, through the step S7 of repeating the above steps, it is possible to induce the user to reach the best condition (the measured value at the specific time becomes V or approximate to V). Advice that leads to such a best condition can be utilized not only in warm-up but also during golf play. Also, by repeating this process, the user can judge by himself whether the user can reach the best condition in the case of an action. In addition, when the above process is repeated, if the user takes an action from the physical condition information measured by the measuring unit 210, the information stored in the database, the behavior of the user detected through the sensing unit 1335, A mechanism can be established to determine whether or not a best condition can be reached. Therefore, the mechanism of the actions required for a particular user to reach the best condition (e.g., 10 armed, 10 armed, 10 armed, and 10 swing exercises) are stored in the database so that when the user starts screen golf The advice provider 2334 can sequentially provide the necessary advice in order to reach the best condition.

As the database, databases 221 and 222 of the authentication unit 220 described in FIG. 7 can be used. In describing the operation of the advice provider 2334 above, it is possible to provide advice to guide the user to the best condition based on the physical condition information which can be used as an index indicating the best or worst condition of the user. At this time, the physical condition information that can be used as an index indicating the best or worst condition of a specific user may be stored in the user play information DB 221. In addition, if it is established through the iterations that the user can reach the best condition through the mechanism of certain actions, the above mechanism can also be stored in the user play information DB 222. In addition, information that aids the user in improving the golf skill of the user, such as a posture in which the user hits golf, is stored in the user play information DB 222, and the user uses his or her mobile device corresponding to the contact unit 240 By running the application installed here, you can refer to it whenever you want.

As described above, the advice provider 2334 can provide advice to the user about health or advise to guide the user to the best condition by using the physical condition information that can be changed according to the condition of the user at the time of measurement.

As described above, the biometric information can be used not only as authentication information but also as an advice for a user who plays a screen golf, as described above. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a screen golf system focused on the biometric information used for advising the user who plays screen golf regardless of whether biometric information is used as authentication information will be described.

FIG. 11 is a schematic configuration diagram of a screen golf system according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a configuration diagram as an example of the supply section of FIG.

Since this embodiment is substantially similar to the first embodiment except for the authentication, a detailed description of these similarities will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 11, the screen golf system 300 according to the present embodiment includes a measuring unit 310 and a supplying unit 330. The measuring unit 310 measures the biometric information of the user necessary to advise the user, and the supplying unit 330 provides a specific service so that the user can perform screen golf. Although the content of the service is limited to screen golf in the present embodiment, the present invention can be applied to various fields other than screen golf (e.g., screen baseball, etc.).

The measuring unit 310 may be a simple structure device that can be attached to the user's body as shown in Fig. The biometric information measured by the measuring unit 310 is physical condition information that can be changed according to a user's physical condition. This may be biometric information capable of identifying and authenticating an individual or biometric information indicating an individual's physical condition irrespective of an individual's identity. Such information includes blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram, and optic pulse wave. The information may be periodically measured at the measuring unit 310 while the user is using the service.

The supply unit 330 provides a service desired by the user, that is, screen golf in this embodiment. The structure of the first embodiment can be applied to the supply portion 330 of the present embodiment. For example, although not shown in the drawings, the supply unit 330 may include a screen, an inclined portion, a controller, a playground, a batting table, a mat, a ball feeder, and an auto tee as shown in Fig. However, the controller 333, which controls the overall operation for screen golf, such as tracing the ball trajectory every time the user hits the ball 330 and providing an appropriate image accordingly, There is a slight difference between the embodiment and the first embodiment.

12, the controller 333 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 3331, an input unit 3332, an output unit 3333, an advice providing unit 3334, a sensing unit 3335, And a database 3336. The control unit 3331 communicates with the input unit 3332, the output unit 3333, the advice provider 3334 and the sensing unit 3335 in the controller 333 and externally communicates with the user Of the user.

The input unit 3332 includes a card reader 3332a, a keyboard (and / or mouse) 3332b, and the like, and receives various inputs from a user. For example, the card reader 3332a can authenticate the user by identifying the user information from the membership card in which the user's information is embedded. The keyboard 3332b allows the user to directly input his or her ID and password to authenticate the user can do. On the other hand, the input unit 3332 may be configured as a touch screen to simultaneously serve as an input / output unit. Alternatively, the input unit 3332 may input various commands inputted by the user in addition to the authentication, and may receive the desired operation desired by the user and process it in the control unit 3331. [

The output unit 3333 includes an image processing unit 3333a for displaying the image of the golf course to the user and a voice processing unit 3333b for transmitting various guidance messages to the user by voice.

The advise provider 3334 is for providing a predetermined advice to the user. The advice provided in the advice provider 3334 may be provided as time information via the video processing unit 3333a or may be provided as audio information through the audio processing unit 3333b. A database 3336 is provided to store information necessary for providing advice, and the advice provider 3334 can obtain necessary information from this database 3336 to generate advice.

For example, the advice provider 3334 can advise the user to breathe and calm down for a moment if the measured blood pressure is out of the normal numerical range.

Alternatively, the advice provider 3334 may provide advice on the health of the user. Since the physical condition information such as blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram, and optical pulse wave is information capable of grasping the health condition of the individual, when it is determined that the user's health condition is abnormal in the measurement result, Can be provided with advice to check their health condition.

Alternatively, the advice provider 3334 may provide advice so that the user can reach the best condition. For example, when the user's body condition information when the user is in the best condition is stored in the database 3336, and the numerical value of the currently measured physical condition information is different from the value at the best condition stored in the database 3336 , It can be advised to induce such a difference to be narrowed. Since the process described in the first embodiment can be applied to the detailed process, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the advice provider 3334 can provide advice to the user about health or advise to guide the user to the best condition by using the physical condition information that can be changed according to the condition of the user at the time of measurement.

The sensing unit 3335 is for sensing all information related to the golf play. For example, the sensing unit 3335 senses an action of hitting the golf ball and transmits it to the control unit 3331. The control unit 3331 simulates the result after the golf ball is hit based on the sensed action And can be displayed through the output unit 3333.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, will be. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all differences within the scope of equivalents thereof should be construed as being included in the present invention.
