Description

Putting information providing device with aiming function {Putting information providing device with aiming function}

The present invention relates to a putting information providing apparatus equipped with an aiming function, and more specifically, by detecting the direction information, aiming the user in the direction to hit the golf ball, and providing information on the putting. It relates to a putting information providing device to enable.

Typically, golfers measure the distance between the ball and the hole cup, the slope of the green, etc. using the number of steps or the shaft of the putter, and then, based on information such as the measured distance between the ball and the hole cup, the slope of the green, etc. After determining the putting line with, aim the putter's face at the putting address point, and determine the putting speed, backswing address point, etc. to putt.

However, when a golfer determines the distance between the ball and the hole cup, the slope of the green, the putting speed, and the backswing address point only with his own sense, it has been difficult to always keep the putting sense to the best.

In order to solve such a conventional problem, in recent years, there are various putting information display devices to provide the golfer with information necessary for putting, such as the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup, the slope of the green, the putting speed, and the backswing address point before putting the golfer. Is being developed.

At this time, before putting to the hole cup, the golfer performs aiming. Here, aiming refers to setting the hitting direction to the target point where the golfer wants to send the ball. In general, golf games are played from the tee box to the hole cup by hitting the golf ball with a golf club such as a driver, iron, and putter. Apart from a good golf swing, aiming is very important for a good golf round at a golf course. It's work. When performing aiming, the golfer performs aiming by assuming that the hole cup and the end of the putter head are at right angles.

In particular, in the case of putting, the likelihood that the ball will be holed into the hole cup is increased when aiming is made taking into account the terrain curvature on the green in order to make the ball hole into the hole cup due to the terrain curvature on the green.

However, in the case of a tee shot, iron shot, or putting, when a golfer actually hits a golf ball, even though the golfer carefully observes the terrain in front of the hitting direction or the curvature of the terrain on the green. Golfers often do not fly in one aiming direction, and especially in the case of putting, even if the angle is slightly different from the one aiming direction, it is often seen that the hitting golf ball moves away from the hole cup.

Accordingly, there is a need for a device capable of providing not only putting information, but also information about aiming so that accurate aiming can be performed.

<Configuration of putting information providing device>

Hereinafter, configurations of a putting information providing apparatus equipped with an aiming function will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

That is, the user may press the key input unit 200 to transmit a user command, and the key input unit 200 may transmit a signal for the user command to the control unit 800. The key input unit 200 may be provided in plural. For example, in order to select a menu for adjusting the size of sound and vibration in the aiming device, the user presses the second key input unit 220 or the third key input unit 230 to point to the menu, A signal instructing to move the menu up and down may be transmitted, and after that, the user may press the first key input unit 210 to transmit a signal instructing to select a menu currently indicated to the controller 800.

The sensing unit 300 is a component that detects the current position of the main body 100 and transmits the acquired orientation information to the controller 800. The sensing unit 300 may be composed of a plurality of sensors. For example, the sensing unit 300 may be configured with a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, or the like that interlocks with a Global Positioning System (GPS). In addition, the orientation information is used to set a reference direction for aiming and to calculate a current angle for aiming performed by the user in real time based on the set reference direction. Here, the orientation refers to a position in which a point or direction in space indicates with respect to the direction of a reference. As for the orientation information, a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor provided in the detection unit 300 are interlocked with GPS to detect the orientation in which the user is currently located.

Here, when the gyro sensor and the acceleration sensor detect the orientation of the user's position, the acceleration sensor corrects the orientation information detected by the gyro sensor.

By correcting the drift error value of the 3-axis gyro sensor according to the user's body rotation with the measured value of the acceleration sensor, the current front direction may be calculated. The drift error of the gyro sensor means that when the user takes the address posture while the main body 100 of the present invention is coupled or attached, when the user's body rotates left and right, the left and right rotation speeds are different. As a result, it refers to a phenomenon in which an accumulated error occurs in the measured value of the gyro sensor as the user's left and right body rotation time continues.

By correcting the drift error of the gyro sensor with the measured value of the acceleration sensor, it is possible to calculate an accurate front current orientation of the gyro sensor. This drift error is an inherent characteristic of a gyro sensor.

In the present invention, when the user rotates the body, the gyro sensor measures the rotation angle of the body and the acceleration sensor measures the rotational speed of the golfer's body, and the drift of the gyro sensor accumulated due to the difference in body rotation acceleration of the golfer By correcting the error value with the acceleration measurement value measured by the acceleration sensor, the user's current azimuth value in front of the user can be calculated in conjunction with GPS.

As described above, a technique for calculating a bearing by linking a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor with GPS is a known technique, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the sensing unit 300 may include not only a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor, but also an angular velocity sensor and a tilt sensor. These angular velocity sensors and inclination sensors can calculate the expected moving distance of the golf ball during the practice swing during the putting process. The angular velocity sensor may measure an angular velocity corresponding to an angular change amount of the putter head that occurs during a rotational motion according to the downswing of the putter, and may output a change in voltage according to the angular change amount of the putter head. In addition, a plurality of tilt sensors are provided, a tilt sensor that measures the inclination of the golf course according to the tilt information of the putter head, and a table previously stored in the memory according to the tilt of the putter shaft by detecting the tilt of the putter shaft. It may include a tilt sensor for measuring the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup by calculating the distance value. Among these inclination sensors, for convenience, a tilt sensor that measures the inclination of a golf course is called a first tilt sensor (not shown), and a tilt sensor that detects the inclination of the shaft of a golf club is called a second tilt sensor (not shown). Called.

The alarm unit 400 informs the user that the aiming is performed in accordance with the reference angle or the range of the reference angle when the user accurately aims at the reference angle or aims within a predetermined range for the reference angle. This is a known configuration. The alarm unit 400 may include a sound output unit 410 and a vibration generating unit 420.

The sound output unit 410 is a component that outputs a sound pattern based on sound source information for a corresponding alarm when performing an alarm. The sound output unit 410 may be provided on the front surface of the main body 100, and at least one or more may be provided at positions on the rear, side, upper, or lower surface of the main body 100 including the front as well as the front. The sound pattern may be composed of information set by a user using sound source information, and the sound source information may be provided by combining a plurality of respective sound source information and configuring each section. Here, the sound source information refers to information that generates a sound by including a specific sound and a pitch for that sound. As for the sound source information, for example, a sound pattern of "beep beep" may be repeated for each section, and a sound pattern of "ding-dong" may be repeated for each section. Examples of such sound source information may be composed of various sound patterns by downloading and combining a plurality of sound source information from the server 2 in addition to not being described. Accordingly, the sound output unit 410 may output information on the sound pattern to notify the user when aiming is normally performed at the reference angle.

The vibration generating unit 420 is a component that generates vibration based on information on a vibration pattern for a corresponding alarm when the alarm unit 400 performs an alarm. The information on the vibration pattern may be composed of information on the vibration pattern set by the user, and the information on the vibration pattern may be composed of a combination of a plurality of vibration information. Here, the vibration information is information including a pattern of vibration and intensity of vibration. Such vibration information, for example, is composed of information for controlling a pulse applied to the vibration generating unit 420 by the controller 800, and as time passes, the vibration pattern becomes faster and the vibration increases repeatedly, or the time passes. The more the vibration pattern becomes slower and the vibration becomes weaker, it can be repeated. According to this vibration information, the controller 800 can adjust the pulse applied to the vibration generating unit 420, and the vibration information can be composed of various vibration patterns by downloading and combining a plurality of vibration information from the server 2. have.

The vibration generating unit 420 may generate vibration to the outside of the main body 100 by providing an eccentric weight motor on one side of the main body 100 and causing the motor to vibrate by additional eccentric movement when a pulse is applied. Therefore, based on the pulse applied to the vibration generating unit 420, an eccentric additional fast movement may be generated to increase the intensity of the vibration, and conversely, the eccentric additional movement may increase the intensity of the vibration. Therefore, when aiming is normally performed at the reference angle, the vibration generating unit 420 may output information on the vibration pattern to notify the user.

The light output unit 500 is provided on one side of the main body 100 to emit light. The light output unit 500 may display that the aiming has been performed in accordance with the reference angle or the range of the reference angle by emitting light.

Etc. are displayed so the user can check. For example, the information on aiming may display a difference value between a reference angle and a current angle, or an angle of currently performed aiming based on the set reference direction and orientation information. In addition, information on the direction in which the aiming should be corrected is guided to rotate the user's body to the right or to the left in order to meet the reference angle based on the current angle or to match the current angle within the range of the reference angle. I can. In addition, the displayed putting information may include putting distance information measured by an angular velocity sensor, head angle information, green slope information measured by a tilt sensor, distance information between a golf ball and a hole cup, and the like.

The communication unit 700 is a configuration that enables the main body 100 to communicate with the server 2. The aiming device according to the present invention may perform communication by interlocking with the server 2 through various communication methods including Bluetooth and WI-FI.

The control unit 800 is provided in the form of a printed circuit board (PCB) inside the main body 100 and is responsible for controlling the operation of each component provided in the main body 100. After the main body 100 is attached to the grip 30, the control unit 800 has the orientation information of the main body 100 in the first alignment in which the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is aligned with the hole cup direction. The first direction may be set as the reference direction based on. Here, the reference direction refers to a direction based on orientation information sensed by the sensing unit 300 of the main body 100 when the end 11 of the golf club head 10 is placed in a first alignment aligned with the hole cup direction in a straight line. Can mean For example, the end 11 of the head 10 of a golf club (a portion of the head 10 in the direction away from the shaft 20 in the portion of the head 10 based on FIG. 3) faces the hole cup in front. It may mean orientation information of the main body 100 when looking at it, which becomes a reference direction for measuring an angle. Here, the first alignment may mean a state in which the head 10 is aligned when the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is facing a target point for moving the ball.

In addition, the controller 800 may set a reference direction in response to a reference direction setting signal generated based on a user's request. Here, the user's request may include, for example, a key input, a user's voice, and the like. In addition, the reference direction setting signal refers to a signal generated by pressing the first key input unit 210 to set the reference direction by the user. Specifically, when the first key input unit 210 is pressed while the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is aligned in a straight line with the hole cup direction, a reference direction setting signal is transmitted to the controller 800 and the controller 800 ) May set the first direction based on the orientation information of the body 100 sensed by the sensing unit 300 at the time of pressing as the reference direction.

In addition, the control unit 800 uses the orientation information of the main body 100 as the second direction in the second alignment where the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club faces, and the first direction and the second direction are You can also set the angle. Here, the second alignment means, for example, in order for the user to strike the ball to the target point, the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is aligned at 90 degrees (that is, the hitting surface of the head 10 faces the target point. ) To take an address posture. For example, based on the right-handed user, the head 10 of the golf club may be placed in the second alignment in a direction approximately 90 degrees from the reference direction, and when the user presses the first key input unit 210, the controller (800) is based on the second direction by orientation information detected by the sensing unit 300 when the user presses the first key input unit 210 in response to a reference angle setting signal generated based on a user's request. It can be set to an angle.

Here, the angle formed by the second direction from the first direction calculated by the control unit 800 may be displayed by the display unit 600 in real time. In addition, the reference angle signal setting signal refers to a signal generated by pressing the first key input unit 210 to set the reference angle from the user. The reference angle may be set in a range between 90 degrees or approximately 90 degrees to +3 degrees, -3 degrees, that is, 87 degrees to 93 degrees from the reference direction.

Meanwhile, the control unit 800 may display a specific user interface for setting a reference angle on the display unit 600. The time point for setting the reference angle may be any time, for example, before a round of golf, during the first alignment of the head 10 of the golf club, or during the second alignment of the head 10 of the golf club. Or according to another embodiment, the reference angle may be set in advance when the main body 100 is produced.

After setting the reference angle, the controller 800 sets the orientation information of the main body 100 as the third direction in the third alignment in which the end 11 of the golf club head 10 faces in the first direction and the third direction. It is possible to calculate the current angle to form. Here, the third direction refers to an aiming direction in which the ends 11 of the head 10 of the current golf club are aligned and directed from the reference direction. The third alignment may include, for example, that the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club faces in the current address position taken by the user toward the third direction before hitting the ball. Accordingly, the controller 800 may calculate a difference value between the set reference angle and the current angle formed by the third alignment, and determine whether the third alignment based on the current angle matches the reference direction or the range of the reference direction. In addition, the control unit 800 calculates the difference value between the reference angle and the current angle, and rotates the angle value at which the end 11 of the golf club head 10 should rotate in order to correct aiming from the current angle to the reference direction. The direction may be calculated and guided to the display unit 600.

For example, when the user takes the address posture from the first direction to the third direction, the current angle may be smaller or larger than the reference angle. Accordingly, the controller 800 may calculate a difference value between the reference angle and the current angle and display an angle value and a rotation direction to be rotated by the difference value from the reference angle on the display unit 600. If the current angle is smaller than the reference angle based on the right-handed person, it displays the angle value to be rotated based on the difference value between the reference angle and the current angle and the end 11 of the golf club head 10 to the right. The controller 800 can control the display on the part 600, and if the current angle is larger than the reference angle, the angle value to be rotated based on the difference value between the reference angle and the current angle and the head 10 of the golf club to the left The controller 800 may control the display unit 600 to display that the end 11 of the is rotated.

In addition, the control unit 800 controls the alarm unit 400 when the current angle meets the reference angle or the range of the reference angle according to the determination based on the reference angle and the current angle, and the sound output unit 410 refers to the reference angle. The sound pattern can be controlled to be output according to the aiming, and the vibration generating unit 420 can control the vibration pattern to be generated.

In addition, the control unit 800 may calculate the estimated moving distance of the golf ball during the practice swing for putting based on the angular velocity when the user intends to perform the practice swing for putting. For example, if the user manipulates the key input unit to send a signal that he wants to enter the menu of the practice swing for putting, the control unit determines that the user wants to proceed with the practice swing for putting, and controls the sensing unit so that the angular velocity sensor It can be signaled to prepare to measure the angular velocity of the putter head. Accordingly, when the user performs a practice swing for putting, the control unit 800 receives the output change of the voltage according to the amount of angular change detected by the angular velocity sensor of the sensing unit, and the corresponding distance in the table stored in advance. Based on the value, the estimated moving distance of the golf ball can be calculated.

In addition, the control unit may provide information by calculating the distance from the current golf ball position to the hole cup based on the slope of the green when the user wants to perform a practice swing for putting. For example, when the user lays the putter head facing the green in order to measure the inclination of the green, the controller controls the sensing unit so that the first inclination sensor measures the inclined angle of the user's putter head and calculates the inclination value. It can be transmitted to the control unit. Based on the slope value, information on the slope of the green where the golf ball is currently located may be provided to the user. In addition, after the user matches the position of the golf ball and the position of the putter, the second tilt sensor measures the inclination value of the putter shaft by inclining the putter toward the hole cup and matching the plurality of scales 120 with the hole cup, The distance between the golf ball and the hole cup may be calculated based on the distance value of the table previously stored corresponding to the inclination value of the putter shaft.

The charging unit 900 is a component capable of charging the battery of the aiming device by receiving power from the outside. The charging unit 900 may be variously provided, such as a lower surface, a side surface, or a front surface of the main body 100.

The memory 1000 is a component in which information of the aiming device is stored. For example, the memory 1000 may store the history of the controller 800 determining the current angle with respect to the reference angle, or interlock with the server 2 to download the sound source information and vibration information stored in the server 2 You can also save it.

<Calculation of the estimated travel distance of the golf ball>

Hereinafter, a process of providing putting information in a putting information providing apparatus equipped with an aiming function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

5 is a diagram schematically showing that the apparatus for providing putting information equipped with an aiming function according to an embodiment of the present invention measures an angular velocity and calculates an estimated moving distance of a golf ball with respect to a practice swing.

As shown in Fig. 5, the putting information providing apparatus according to the present invention can detect the angular velocity of the putter head 10 and calculate the expected moving distance of the golf ball during the practice swing.

First, the user may select a plurality of modes in which the main body 100 operates to provide putting information, and accordingly, the controller 800 may control a configuration related to the operating mode. The plurality of modes may include a practice swing mode, a mode for displaying the angle of the putter head 10, a mode for displaying the slope of the green, and a mode for displaying the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup.

For example, when the user enters the practice swing mode by manipulating a key input unit to perform a practice swing for putting, the control unit 800 receives a training swing mode entry signal transmitted by the key input unit, and the detection unit 300 By controlling the angular velocity sensor can be prepared to measure the angular velocity of the user's putter head (10).

Here, the exercise swing mode entry signal means that when the user wants to perform the exercise swing mode among a plurality of modes in which the main body 100 operates, the controller 800 can prepare the exercise swing mode through the key input unit. It is a signal.

After that, the angular velocity sensor provided in the sensing unit 300 measures the angular velocity from the backswing to the downswing when the user performs the practice swing. That is, when the user performs the practice swing, the angular velocity sensor measures the angular speed of rotation per unit time from the rotational motion of the putter head 10 by the practice swing from the backswing point to the downswing point and outputs a change value of voltage. Based on the voltage change value, the controller 800 calculates a value of the putting distance from a table previously stored in the memory 1000 and controls the display unit 600 to display the putting distance for the exercise swing.

For example, if there is no rotation of the putter head 10, the output value of the angular velocity sensor is typically 1.35V based on the operating voltage 5V. In addition, when the putter head 10 moves 1 degree per second, a change in output of 0.67mV typically occurs. Therefore, the output voltage of the angular velocity sensor will be 1.35V plus 0.67mV. Based on this, it is assumed that when the user performs the practice swing, the angle from the backswing to the downswing is 40 degrees, and the time it takes for the putter head 10 to rotate 40 degrees is 0.5 seconds. Here, 0.5 seconds, which is the time required for the putter head 10 to rotate 40 degrees, is twice as long as the time required to rotate 1 degree per second before, and accordingly, the output voltage of the angular velocity sensor is 0.67mV ㅧ 40 ㅧ 2 = It becomes 53.6mV. Therefore, if the golf ball moves by 10M when the voltage of 53.6mV of the putter head 10 is output from the angular velocity sensor, the expected movement distance of the golf ball corresponding to 53.6mV is 10M, and when the output voltage of the angular velocity sensor is 5.36mV, When the estimated moving distance of the golf ball corresponding to 5.36mV is 1M and the output voltage of the angular velocity sensor is 0.536mV, the estimated moving distance of the golf ball corresponding to 0.536mV is 10cm.

On the other hand, the angular velocity sensor detects the rotation of the putter head 10 and responds that the golf ball moves as much as 10M when a voltage of 53.6mV is output. The angular velocity sensor detects the putter head 10 in a situation where the actual golf ball is hit. Thus, the output voltage may be an experimental result in which the moving distance of the golf ball is matched one-to-one.

As a result, the value of the putting distance corresponding to the output voltage of the angular velocity sensor is stored as a table in the memory 1000, and the controller 800 when the golf ball is hit due to the practice swing as the user performs the practice swing. The putting distance may be calculated and displayed by the display unit 600. Accordingly, when the golf ball is hit by the practice swing performed by the user, information on the expected movement distance of the golf ball may be provided.

In addition, when the user manipulates the key input unit to enter the mode to display the angle of the putter head 10, the control unit 800 receives and detects the signal to enter the angle display mode of the putter head 10 transmitted by the key input unit. By controlling the unit 300, the angular velocity sensor may be prepared to measure the angle of the user's putter head 10.

Here, the signal for entering the angle display mode of the putter head 10 is to measure the angle at which the hitting surface of the putter head 10 contacts the golf ball during a practice swing or an actual swing by the user among a plurality of modes in which the main body 100 operates. This is a signal that enables the user to prepare the practice swing mode through the key input unit.

Thereafter, the angular velocity sensor provided in the sensing unit 300 measures the angle of the putter head 10 in a downswing state when the user performs a practice swing or an actual swing. That is, the angular velocity sensor measures the changed angle of the putter head 10 when the putter head 10 is opened or closed in the downswing state, and when it deviates from the putting line, and transmits the measured angle to the controller 800, and the controller 800 It controls the display unit 600 to display the changed angle of the head 10. Here, the putting line refers to a virtual line formed in a straight line between the hole cup and the golf ball, and it is most preferable that the hitting surface of the putter head 10 vertically abuts the putting line.

Therefore, when the angular velocity sensor detects that the putter head 10 has hit the golf ball with 0.4 degrees open toward the outside of the user's body, the controller 800 displays "+" and "0.4 degrees". When the angular velocity sensor detects that the putter head 10 hits the golf ball in a 0.6 degree closed state toward the inside of the user's body, the controller 800 returns the display 600 to "-" And "0.6 degrees" can be controlled to be displayed.

In addition, in the present invention, it is possible to putt by measuring the slope of the green and the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup. This will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is a view schematically showing that the putting information providing apparatus equipped with an aiming function according to an embodiment of the present invention measures the inclination of the putter shaft 20 to calculate the distance between the current golf ball and the hole cup.

As shown in FIG. 6, the apparatus for providing putting information according to the present invention may measure a slope of a green and calculate a distance between a golf ball and a hole cup based on the slope of the green.

Specifically, in order to measure the inclination of the green, the user may lay down the putter head 10 with the hitting surface facing the green, and the handle of the putter may also touch the green. In this state, the first tilt sensor measures the tilt angle of the putter head 10 and transmits the tilt value to the control unit 800, and the control unit 800 outputs the received tilt value to the display unit 600. Can be controlled to do. Also, the controller 800 may control the display 600 to output a distance value previously stored in the memory 1000 based on the inclined angle of the putter head 10 measured by the first tilt sensor. .

For example, when the slope of the green is higher on the right and the angle is 1.5 degrees, the controller 800 may control the display 600 to display "+" and "1.5". When the high angle is 2.3 degrees, the controller 800 may control the display 600 to display "-" and "2.3".

In addition, the distance from the golf ball to the hole cup may be determined through the plurality of scales 120. This will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

7 is a diagram schematically showing that the apparatus for providing putting information provided with an aiming function according to an embodiment of the present invention calculates the distance between a golf ball and a hole cup.

As shown in FIG. 7, the user fixes his gaze in parallel with the plurality of scales 120 provided in the main body 100 at the same point where the position of the golf ball and the position of the putter are the same. Thereafter, when the plurality of scales 120 coincide in parallel with the hole cup, the second tilt sensor measures the tilt value of the shaft 20 of the putter. Accordingly, the control unit 800 controls the display unit 600 to output a distance value previously stored in the memory 1000 based on the slope value.

Here, the distance value previously stored in the memory 1000 may be stored in the memory 1000 through a process as described below. For example, when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup is 0.5M, the putter is positioned at the same position as the golf ball, and then the plurality of scales 120 are matched with the hole cup. At this time, a reference value is set by matching the inclination value of the shaft 20 of the putter obtained by the inclination sensor with 0.5M. Accordingly, the slope values up to 20M are measured at 0.5M intervals, converted into distance values, and then stored in the memory 1000 corresponding to the distance values and the slope values.

<Notification function according to the setting of the target moving distance of the golf ball>

Meanwhile, in the present invention, when the user sets the target moving distance of the golf ball and then performs the practice swing, the user is notified when the estimated moving distance of the golf ball is calculated based on the target moving distance of the golf ball set by the user. I can.

Previously, it has been described that the control unit 800 can calculate the expected movement distance of the golf ball based on the practice swing when the user sets the target movement distance of the golf ball and then performs a practice swing with a golf club such as a putter. Based on the expected movement distance of the golf ball, depending on whether the practice swing conducted by the user meets the target movement distance of the golf ball, the estimated movement distance of the golf ball that is shorter than the target movement distance of the golf ball is to the user. In addition to displaying on the display unit 600 whether the calculated or predicted moving distance of the golf ball having a distance longer than the target moving distance of the golf ball has been calculated, it may be notified as a sound pattern, a vibration pattern, and a light source pattern.

First, let's look at a case where the expected moving distance of a golf ball is shorter than, that is, less than the target moving distance of the golf ball. In this way, when the expected moving distance of the golf ball is less than the target moving distance of the golf ball, the sound source is output as a preset first sound pattern, or vibration occurs as the first vibration pattern, and the first light source pattern is emitted. The control unit 800 can control it.

For example, as the first sound pattern, information outputting a sound source called "pibibi" for a certain period of time may be stored, and accordingly, the expected movement distance of the golf ball in the sound output unit 410 is the target movement of the golf ball. If it is less than the distance, the first sound pattern may be output.

In addition, as the first vibration pattern, information generated for a certain time in a short period of small vibration may be stored, and accordingly, the expected movement distance of the golf ball in the vibration generator 420 is greater than the target movement distance of the golf ball. If it is less than that, the first vibration pattern may be output.

In addition, as the first light source pattern, information in which the red color flashes for a certain period of time may be stored. Accordingly, when the expected movement distance of the golf ball in the optical output unit 500 is less than the target movement distance of the golf ball, One light source pattern may be output.

In this way, when the expected movement distance of the golf ball is less than, exceeds, or matches the target movement distance of the golf ball, a sound pattern is output, a vibration pattern occurs, or a light source is Emission may be performed by one of a sound pattern, a vibration pattern, and a light source pattern, or a combination of a sound pattern, a vibration pattern, and a light source pattern.

Meanwhile, even when the expected movement distance of the golf ball is longer than the target movement distance of the golf ball, that is, exceeds the target movement distance, the controller 800 may notify the user in the same manner as described above. That is, when the expected movement distance of the golf ball exceeds the target movement distance of the golf ball, the sound source is output as a preset second sound pattern, or vibration occurs as a second vibration pattern, and a second light source pattern is emitted. The control unit 800 may control it to be performed. Here, the second sound pattern, the second vibration pattern, and the second light source pattern are different from the first sound pattern, the first vibration pattern, and the first light source pattern, respectively.

In addition, even when the expected movement distance of the golf ball coincides with the target movement distance of the golf ball, the controller 800 may notify the user in the same manner as described above. That is, when the expected movement distance of the golf ball matches the target movement distance of the golf ball, the sound source is output as a preset third sound pattern, or vibration occurs as a third vibration pattern, or a third light source pattern is emitted. The control unit 800 can control it. Here, the third sound pattern is different from the first sound pattern and the second sound pattern, the third vibration pattern is different from the first vibration pattern and the second vibration pattern, and the third light source pattern is the first light source pattern and the second It is different from the light source pattern.

In addition, each sound pattern, vibration pattern, and light source pattern may be configured by a combination of a plurality of sound patterns, may be configured by a combination of a plurality of vibration patterns, or may be configured by a combination of a plurality of light source patterns.

For example, the first sound pattern may be configured by combining three different sound patterns, which are different from the second sound pattern and the third sound pattern, and the second sound pattern is the same as the first sound pattern. The sound pattern and the third sound pattern may also be configured by combining three different sound patterns.

In addition, the first vibration pattern may be configured by combining two different vibration patterns, which are different from the second vibration pattern and the third vibration pattern, and the second vibration pattern in the same manner as the first vibration pattern. And the third vibration pattern may also be configured by combining two different sound patterns.

In addition, the first light source pattern may be configured by a combination of two different vibration patterns, which are different from the second light source pattern and the third light source pattern, and the second light source pattern in the same manner as the first light source pattern. And the third light source pattern may also be configured by combining two different light source patterns.

Meanwhile, the sound pattern, vibration pattern, and light source pattern as described above can be used by the body 100 by receiving sound source information, vibration information, and light source information stored in the server 2, and the received information You can also manipulate) to combine the sound pattern, vibration pattern, and light source pattern with your favorite pattern.

Therefore, the putting information device equipped with an aiming function according to the present invention can easily grasp whether the predicted moving distance of the golf ball is calculated by performing the practice swing by the user as much as the target moving distance of the golf ball targeted by the user. Can easily determine how much power he should swing.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the angle from the backswing point to the downswing point may be measured and notified to the user. Previously, in the present invention, it has been described that the angular velocity from the backswing to the downswing is measured when the user performs the exercise swing through the angular velocity sensor provided in the sensing unit 300. That is, when the user performs the practice swing, the angular velocity sensor may measure the size of the rotational motion of the putter head 10 by the practice swing from the backswing point to the downswing point and transmit it to the controller 800. Accordingly, the control unit 800 compares the size of the backswing angle preset by the user with the backswing angle performed at the time of the current practice swing, and the sound output unit 410 may output a sound pattern, and the vibration generating unit May be generated, and the light output unit 500 may notify the user by emitting a light source pattern. That is, when the preset backswing angle and the backswing angle performed by the current practice swing match, the control unit 800 controls the sound source to be output with a preset sound pattern, or to generate vibration or to emit a light source pattern. I can.

In addition, each sound pattern, vibration pattern, and light source pattern may be configured by a combination of a plurality of sound patterns, may be configured by a combination of a plurality of vibration patterns, or may be configured by a combination of a plurality of light source patterns.

<Direction setting for aiming>

Hereinafter, a process of performing the aiming function in the putting information providing apparatus equipped with the aiming function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

8 is a flow chart showing a method of performing aiming in an aiming device mountable to a golf club according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 9 is a flow chart illustrating an aiming device mountable to a golf club according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a diagram schematically showing that aiming is performed on a green by using.

As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the aiming device according to the present invention initially sets a reference direction toward a target point for the direction in which the golf ball is hit. For example, the first alignment may be maintained by aligning the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in a straight line with the hole cup direction. In addition, the detection unit 300 detects the orientation information of the main body 100 in the first alignment state and transmits it to the control unit 800, so that the control unit 800 can set the orientation information in the first alignment as a reference direction. have.

Specifically, if the user wants to set the reference direction for aiming, the user can send a signal to set the reference direction by manipulating the key input unit provided in the main body 100 to enter the control unit 800 into the standby mode. have. Accordingly, the control unit 800 may enter the standby mode and complete preparation for setting the reference direction. Here, the control unit 800 may notify the user that preparation for setting the reference direction is complete.

For example, the control unit 800 may control the sound output unit 410 to output a sound “Ready” to notify the user that preparation for setting the reference direction is completed. In addition, the controller 800 may control the vibration generating unit 420 to generate vibration to notify the user that preparations for setting the reference direction are completed. The method of notifying the user that preparations have been completed to set the reference direction in this way may apply only sound, only vibration, or only light, or may be applied by mixing sound, light, and vibration.

Thereafter, the user can maintain the first alignment toward the first direction by aligning the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in a straight line with the hole cup direction. <S80> That is, as shown in ① in FIG. The first alignment may be performed by aligning the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club with the hole cup. In this state, the sensing unit 300 may detect orientation information of the main body 100 coupled or attached to the grip 30. Therefore, in the first alignment, when the user presses the first key input unit 210 and transmits the reference direction setting signal to the controller 800, the controller 800 detects the user by the sensing unit 300 in the first alignment state. By recognizing that the orientation information of the main body 100 is the reference direction, the orientation information of the body 100 can be set as the reference direction in a state in which the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is performed in the first alignment. .<S81>

Meanwhile, in the process of setting the reference direction, after the user presses the first key input unit 210 and enters the control unit 800 into the standby mode, the reference direction is set by detecting the orientation information of the main body 100 in the first alignment state. However, according to implementation, first alignment is performed so that the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club faces in a straight line with the hole cup, and then the first key input unit 210 is pressed to set the reference direction. May be sent to the control unit 800, and the control unit 800 may receive the orientation information of the body 100 detected by the detection unit 300 in the first alignment and set as a reference direction.

Next, after performing the second alignment of the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in the second direction <S82> the body 100 detected by the sensing unit 300 while maintaining the second alignment. ), the controller 800 may set a reference angle. <S83>

Specifically, after first aligning the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club to set the reference direction, the first key input unit 210 is pressed again to control the signal for setting the reference angle ( 800). Accordingly, the controller 800 receiving the signal may enter the standby mode for setting the reference angle. When the preparation of the control unit 800 is completed, the control unit 800 controls the sound output unit 410 to output the sound “Ready”, as in the case of setting the reference direction, and indicates that the preparation for setting the reference angle is completed. Can be notified to. In addition, the controller 800 may control the vibration generator 420 to generate vibration to notify the user that preparations for setting the reference angle are completed. In addition, the control unit 800 may control the light output unit 500 to emit light to notify the user that preparations for setting the reference angle are completed. Finally, as a method of notifying the user that preparations are complete to set the reference angle, only sound, vibration, or light may be applied, or sound, light, and vibration may be mixed and applied.

In addition, in order to distinguish between "Ready", the sound output when setting the reference direction, and "Ready," the sound output when setting the reference angle, when setting the reference direction, a sound "First Ready" may be output. When setting the angle, a sound "Second Ready" may be output.

After that, when the user rotates the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in the first alignment and performs the second alignment in the second direction (as shown in Fig. 8, ②, the hitting surface of the head 10 is a hole cup). Alignment to face), the orientation information of the body 100 coupled to or attached to the grip 30 is changed, and the sensing unit 300 may detect the changed orientation information of the body 100. Accordingly, the controller 800 may control the display unit 600 to display the orientation information of the body 100 in real time by receiving the orientation information of the body 100 that changes while the user performs the second alignment. . Accordingly, the user may perform the second alignment of the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in order to set the reference angle while checking the direction information of the current body 100 with the naked eye through the display unit 600. I can.

For example, in golf theory, the address posture guides the user's body to achieve approximately 90 degrees to the target point. Therefore, when performing the second alignment of the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club toward the second direction, the user checks the orientation information of the main body 100 and matches the head of the golf club to approximately 90 degrees ( The end 11 of 10) is completed by the second alignment, and the reference angle setting signal can be transmitted to the control unit 800 by pressing the first key input unit 210. Therefore, the controller 800 can set the reference angle based on the orientation information of the main body 100 sensed by the sensing unit 300 at the time when the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is performed in the second alignment. have.

More specifically, when the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is placed in a second alignment toward the second direction in a state in which the sensing unit 300 continuously senses the orientation information of the main body 100, the main body ( When the orientation information of 100) reaches approximately 90 degrees, the user presses the first key input unit 210 at the point when the orientation information of the main body 100 becomes 90 degrees to transmit a reference angle setting signal to the control unit 800. do. Accordingly, the controller 800 may set the reference angle based on the current orientation information of the main body 100 detected by the sensing unit 300 by the user. Although it has been described that the reference angle is set to approximately 90 degrees, it may be set in a range of approximately 90 degrees to +3 degrees, -3 degrees, that is, 87 degrees to 93 degrees according to implementation.

In addition, after setting the reference angle through the second alignment, the controller 800 determines the orientation information of the main body 100 in the third alignment where the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club faces as ③ in FIG. The current angle formed by the first direction and the third direction may be calculated by using as the third direction.

In summary, in a state in which the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is first aligned in the first direction, the user makes the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club toward the second direction. By performing two-alignment, a second direction is formed from the reference direction, and a reference angle is formed based on an angle formed between the reference direction and the second direction.

Here, if the reference angle is in a predetermined state, the process of setting the reference angle may be omitted. Therefore, after the user sets the reference direction, aiming is performed by performing a second alignment toward the second direction, and in the process of performing the second alignment, the controller 800 performs the main body detected by the detection unit 300 ( By allowing the display unit 600 to display the orientation information of 100) in real time, the user can check the current angle.

In addition, the sound output unit 410 outputs a sound pattern, the vibration generator 420 generates a vibration pattern, or the light output unit 500 flashes a light source or alternately colors that the reference angle has been set. As it changes, it can be notified to the user by continuously emitting a light source.

In addition, when the user continues the first alignment or the second alignment of the end 11 of the golf club head 10 in the first direction or the second direction for a predetermined period of time, the user It is determined that a reference direction or a reference angle is desired to be set based on the orientation information detected by 300), and the reference direction or a reference angle may be set based on the orientation information detected by the current detector 300.

For example, when the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club performs a first alignment toward the first direction to set the reference direction, while the control unit 800 enters the standby mode, the user presses the first key. If instead of pressing the input unit 210, the first alignment is continued and the orientation information of the main body 100 is maintained for a predetermined time, the control unit 800 determines the current main body 100 detected by the sensing unit 300 by the user. It is regarded as desired to set the reference direction based on the direction information of ), and the reference direction may be set with the direction information of the current body 100 sensed by the detection unit 300.

In addition, when the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club is aligned in the second direction, and when the reference angle is set, the controller 800 enters the standby mode, and the user enters the first key input unit. If instead of pressing 210, the second alignment is continued to maintain the orientation information of the main body 100 for a predetermined period of time, the control unit 800 may determine the current main body 100 detected by the sensing unit 300 by the user. It is considered that the reference angle is set based on the orientation information of ), and the reference angle may be set with the orientation information of the current body 100 detected by the detection unit 300.

Here, the duration of the first alignment or the second alignment for a predetermined time toward the first direction or the second direction may take about 2 seconds to 3 seconds.

On the other hand, the reference angle is the same as the size of the reference angle by 90 degrees even though the direction indicated by the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club and the direction of the body 100 are different because the main body 100 is coupled to the grip 30 Can be set. That is, in the present invention, as an embodiment, the direction indicated by the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club and the direction of the main body 100 are matched to describe a combined state. The direction in which) is directed may be coupled to be different from the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club.

For example, when the user attaches or couples the main body 100 to the grip 30, unlike the one shown in Fig. 3, the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club may be attached to the rear in the direction indicated or If combined, the sensed orientation information of the body 100 may be 180 degrees when the user sets the reference direction of the head 10 of the golf club in a straight line with the hole cup. Therefore, when placing the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in the second alignment toward the second direction, the orientation information of the body 100 detected by the sensing unit 300 is 270 degrees. Accordingly, the reference direction is 180 degrees and the second direction is 270 degrees, but the size of the reference angle is not changed by 90 degrees. As a result, the control unit 800 may determine the aiming currently performed by the user in the same manner even if the main body 100 is attached or coupled to the grip 30 in any direction.

Such aiming can be applied to all fields in which a user can take a golf shot. In other words, it turns out that it can be applied to various hitting situations such as putting, iron shot, and driver.

<Aiming guide function>

Hereinafter, it will be described that the aiming device guides the aiming based on the reference angle.

FIG. 10 is an exemplary diagram showing that the angle of aiming currently performed by the user is 25 degrees and should be corrected to the right based on the information on which the reference angle is set in FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is a view in which the reference angle is set in FIG. It is a diagram exemplarily showing that the angle of aiming currently performed by the user is 104 degrees and should be corrected to the left based on the information.

As shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the aiming device according to the present invention allows the user to use the reference angle set by the user using the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club or a predetermined reference angle. It can be announced whether the currently performed aiming matches the reference angle.

Specifically, after the user sets the reference angle, aiming is performed by taking an address posture to substantially hit the golf ball toward the hole cup. Therefore, when the user places the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in the third alignment toward the third direction, the control unit 800 is the main body based on the third direction detected by the sensing unit 300 ( 100) can be set as the current angle. The controller 800 may determine whether the current angle corresponds to a reference angle or within a range of a reference angle, and calculate a difference value between the reference angle and the current angle.

If the current angle by the third alignment of the end 11 of the golf club's head 10 does not match the reference angle, the control unit 800 notifies the angle to be adjusted by the user through the display unit 600 or I can guide you.

In FIG. 10, it can be seen that the angle to be adjusted by the user is notifying the user of the right direction and a value of 25 by an arrow through the display unit 600. When the control unit 800 determines the current angle of the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club compared with the reference angle to indicate the right direction with an arrow in this way, the user is rotated to the left of the reference angle. In order to perform aiming so as to match with, it is known that the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club must be rotated to the right to perform aiming.

In addition, the angle at which aiming should be performed to the right is 25 degrees, and aiming must be performed by rotating the end 11 of the golf club head 10 to the right by 25 degrees at the current angle. Users can be notified that they are within range.

Therefore, the user rotates the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club to the right by 25 degrees based on the notice displayed by the display unit 600 to the end of the head 10 of the golf club at approximately 90 degrees, which is a reference angle. Aiming can be performed by modifying (11) to the third alignment.

As another example, referring to FIG. 11, in FIG. 11, a left direction and a value of 104 are shown to the user as arrows through the display unit 600 to the user. In this way, indicating the left direction with an arrow means that the current angle of the end 11 of the golf club head 10 is rotated to the right of the reference angle when it is determined by comparing it with the reference angle. In order to perform ming, it is known that aiming must be performed by rotating the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club to the left.

In addition, the angle to be aimed to the left is 104 degrees, and the user can be notified that the reference angle or the reference angle is within the range of the reference angle only when aiming is performed by rotating to the left by 104 degrees from the current angle.

Accordingly, the user can rotate the end 11 of the golf club head 10 to the left by 104 degrees based on the notice displayed by the display unit 600 to correct the third posture at a reference angle of approximately 90 degrees.

In addition, the angle displayed by the display unit 600 may be an angle with respect to aiming performed by the user by performing the end 11 of the head 10 of the golf club in a third alignment. Therefore, in FIG. 10, the controller 800 can guide the user to meet the reference angle by rotating to the right and performing aiming because the current aiming angle is 25 degrees. In FIG. 11, the current aiming angle is 104 Since it is a degree, it is possible to guide it to meet the reference angle by rotating it to the left and performing aiming.

In addition, after the current angle of the third posture taken by the user toward the third direction matches the reference angle or the range of the reference angle and aiming is completed, the control unit 800 controls the alarm unit 400 to control the head of the golf club. When the end 11 of (10) is performed in the third alignment, it may be known that the current angle of the third alignment is within the range of the reference angle or the reference angle. That is, the sound output unit 410 and the vibration generator 420 provided in the alarm unit 400 may output a sound pattern or generate a vibration pattern according to an alarm function set by a user.

Specifically, in the present invention, the main body 100 may download and output or generate sound source information or vibration information stored in the server 2. Such sound source information may be output from the sound output unit 410, and vibration information may be generated from the vibration generator 420.

Here, a plurality of sound source information may be downloaded and stored in the memory 1000 of the main body 100, and a plurality of vibration information may be downloaded and stored in the memory 1000 of the main body 100 as well.

Accordingly, the sound source information and vibration information stored in the memory 1000 may be set according to the user's preference and thus may be used for an alarm. That is, when the user receives an alarm, the user may set and receive the alarm as a sound pattern or a vibration pattern.

Such sound patterns may be outputted with only single sound source information, or a plurality of sound sources may be edited for each section and combined with each other to create and use a new sound pattern desired by the user.

For example, a plurality of sound source information may be provided that a sound pattern in a high sound range lasts for a short time and a sound pattern in a low sound range with a low sound lasts for a short time, and the user can provide these two sound source information. It is possible to create and use a new sound pattern by applying a part of each time-series section. This is only an example, and a sound pattern may be generated using at least one sound source information.

In addition, the vibration information may be generated based on one vibration information, or a plurality of vibration information may be applied and combined differently for each section, thereby using the new vibration information desired by the user.

For example, a plurality of vibration information may be provided with vibration information of a vibration pattern having a weak vibration intensity and a constant vibration pattern, and vibration information of a vibration pattern having a strong and rapidly changing vibration intensity, and the user may obtain the Vibration can be generated by applying a part for each section. This is only an example, and a vibration pattern may be applied using at least one vibration information.

In addition, it is possible to set an alarm by applying both sound source information and vibration information. The output of the sound source information and the output of the vibration information described above were to apply only one of the two separately, but depending on the implementation, both the sound source information and the vibration information may be applied.

Specifically, the user may edit and combine the sound source information for each section according to the sound source information by using a plurality of sound sources and a plurality of vibration information stored in the memory 1000 of the main body 100, and the vibration information is divided into sections according to the vibration information. Each is applied differently and combined so that sound source information and vibration information are output and generated at the same time.

In addition, the sound source information and the vibration information may be applied so that the intensity of the vibration is determined according to the sound source in correspondence with each other.

For example, if one sound source information is matched with the vibration information and then a sound in the high sound range is output, in the vibration information, the vibration information can be strongly generated according to the sound in the high sound range, and the corresponding sound source information is low. If the sound in the pitch range is output, vibration is generated weakly according to the sound in the low range. This may be generated by using at least one or more sound source information and vibration information as described above.

In addition, the sound source information and the vibration information may correspond to each other in the opposite case.

For example, if one sound source information is matched with the vibration information and then a sound in the high sound range is output, in the vibration information, the vibration information can be made to generate weakly according to the sound in the high sound range, and the corresponding sound source information is low. If the sound in the pitch range is output, it vibrates strongly according to the sound in the low range. This may be generated by using at least one or more sound source information and vibration information as described above.

Such an embodiment is only an example, and various sound source information and vibration information are combined with each other to notify a user of an alarm that aiming has been performed at a reference angle.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and those skilled in the art with ordinary knowledge of the present invention will be able to make various modifications, changes and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention. And additions will be seen as falling within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
