The foregoing and additional aspects of the present invention will become more apparent through preferred embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through these embodiments so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and reproduce it.

1 is a block diagram of a golf join platform system according to one embodiment. The golf join platform system includes at least some of the configurations shown in FIG. 1 . For example, the golf join platform system may include only the golf join app 200 and the golf join platform 300 among the components shown in FIG. 1, or may mean only the golf join platform 300. The user terminal 100 is a mobile device capable of communication and computing and may be a smartphone. The Golf Join application 200 is installed and executed on each user terminal 100, and the user accesses the Golf Join platform 300 online through the Golf Join app 200, registers as a member, and uses the services provided by the platform. You can.

The Golf Join platform 300 is a server system consisting of one or two or more servers, equipped with hardware and software resources required as a server, and includes a Windows-based operating system, MacOS, Java, UNIX, or Linux. It can operate under various operating systems not included here. The golf join platform 300 provides golf join services and hole-in-one event services to members in conjunction with the golf join apps 200. The golf join service refers to a service that connects members who wish to have a round of golf together, and the hole-in-one event service refers to a service that provides benefits to members or non-members who have applied for a golf hole-in-one event when a hole-in-one is successful.

Figure 2 is a block diagram of a golf join platform according to one embodiment. The golf join platform 300 includes at least a portion of a member join unit 310, a hole-in-one event management unit 320, a hole-in-one compensation unit 330, and a swing analysis evaluation unit 340. These are all functional components that can be implemented in software, and can be executed by one or more processors to perform the corresponding functions. The member joining department 310 is configured to provide a service that connects members for a round of golf together. For example, the member joining department 310 connects members in such a way that a member who wants to find a rounding member applies for recruitment by specifying a golf course and rounding time, and other members respond to the recruitment. is already well known. Member connection information (member join information) obtained through the member join unit 310 is stored and managed in a database. Here, member connection information may include members' unique personal information to identify connected members.

The hole-in-one event management unit 320 manages information on members who have applied to participate in the golf hole-in-one event. In other words, the information of members participating in the event is stored and managed in the database so that among all members, members who applied for the golf hole-in-one event are classified as event participating members. Applications for the golf hole-in-one event may be paid, and members can apply to participate in the golf hole-in-one event using their own golf join app (200). Additionally, the hole-in-one event management unit 320 may designate and manage all other members connected to the member through the member join unit 310 as event participating members in addition to the member who has directly applied for participation in the golf hole-in-one event.

The hole-in-one reward unit 330 is configured to provide a compensation service to members who successfully make a hole-in-one, and provides a reward to the member who participated in the event when the success of the hole-in-one of the member participating in the event is determined. Here, examples of rewards include virtual currency or cryptocurrency such as points or mileage, and may also be physical products. In one embodiment, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 determines that the event participating member succeeded in scoring a hole-in-one when a hole-in-one certificate certifying that the member participating in the event successfully scored a hole-in-one is uploaded from the golf join app 200. In another embodiment, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 receives a hole-in-one success message from the golf join app 200, and a hole-in-one certificate is uploaded from the golf join app 200 within a predetermined time (for example, within the same day). When this happens, it is determined that the member participating in the event has succeeded in making a hole-in-one. For example, when an event participating member succeeds in making a hole-in-one, he or she transmits a hole-in-one success message to the golf join platform (300) using the golf join app (200), and then sends the hole-in-one certificate issued by the golf course to the golf join platform (300). Upload to .

Additionally, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 provides rewards not only to event participating members but also to all accompanying members who are rounding with the event participating members. To this end, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 checks the accompanying members of the member participating in the event. In one embodiment, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 searches for member connection information in the database with the personal unique information of the event participating member, and when the member connection information is searched, the remaining members other than the event participating members are selected from the member connection information. They are verified as companion members of participating members, and rewards are also provided to confirmed companion members. However, the reward (A) provided to the event participating member who successfully made a hole-in-one (hole-in-one member) and the reward (B) provided to the accompanying member may be different, and the reward (A) may be a better reward than the reward (B). You can.

Additionally, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 can provide rewards not only to the hole-in-one member and accompanying members, but also to unaccompanied members. In one embodiment, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 identifies unaccompanied members who played a round on the same date at the same golf course as the hole-in-one member among all members, and provides a reward to the confirmed unaccompanied members. However, the reward (B) provided to accompanying members and the reward (C) provided to unaccompanied members may be different, and reward (B) may be a better reward than reward (C).

The hole-in-one event management unit 320 described above can additionally determine whether a non-member is located at the golf course through the non-member golf join app 200. For example, the Golf Join app 200 runs in the background on the user terminal 100 and periodically checks the location of the non-member and reports the non-member location to the Golf Join platform 300, and the hole-in-one event management unit 320 reports the reported location. If the non-member's location is a golf course, the golf join app 200 notifies the non-member of the golf hole-in-one event and encourages them to sign up as a member, or informs them that they can apply to participate in the golf hole-in-one event even as a non-member. In the latter case, the hole-in-one event management unit 320 may receive an application for participation in the golf hole-in-one event from a non-member through the golf join app 200 and store and manage information on non-members participating in the event in a database. Here, the information on non-members participating in the event is information for identifying non-members who participated in the golf hole-in-one event, and may include unique personal information such as name, phone number, date of birth, or resident registration number.

In connection with the hole-in-one event management unit 320, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 provides a reward to the non-member participating in the event when the success of the hole-in-one of the non-member participating in the event is identified. At this time, the reward (D) provided to non-members participating in the event may be a lower reward than the reward (B) provided to accompanying members. Additionally, the method of determining whether a non-member participating in the event has succeeded in making a hole-in-one may be the same as that of a member participating in the event, and for this purpose, the functions of the golf join app 200 may be provided in a limited manner to the non-member participating in the event. In other words, non-members participating in the event can send a hole-in-one success message or upload a hole-in-one certificate using the golf join app 200.

Meanwhile, the swing analysis evaluation unit 340 is configured to evaluate the level by analyzing swing videos of members. The swing analysis evaluation unit 340 analyzes the member's swing video uploaded from the golf join app 200 and evaluates the member's golf level. In one embodiment, the swing analysis evaluation unit 340 analyzes the swing image to evaluate the swing posture level, calculates the expected distance to evaluate the distance level, and combines the two to evaluate the overall level.

This swing analysis evaluation unit 340 is associated with the member joining unit 310, and the member joining unit 310 connects members in a limited way by considering the evaluation results for each member by the swing analysis evaluation unit 340. . For example, only members with similar evaluation levels are allowed to connect, but connections are limited to only members with the same level or one level difference. More specifically, the member joining unit 310 may limit the connection to only members whose swing posture level and distance level are each one step different from each other, but whose overall level combined with the swing posture level and distance level is the same. In this way, you can enjoy the game by playing with members of similar skills, and you can also coach each other about swing posture and distance.

Figure 3 is a hole-in-one event compensation flowchart according to an embodiment. The golf join platform 300 determines whether a member or a non-member has succeeded in a hole-in-one (S100). In one embodiment, the golf join platform 300 receives a hole-in-one success message from the golf join app 200, and when a hole-in-one certificate is received from the golf join app 200 within a predetermined time, the member/non-member succeeds in making a hole-in-one. It is judged that Next, the golf join platform 300 varies the reward provision procedure depending on whether the user who successfully made a hole-in-one is a member or a non-member (S110). In the case of a member, the golf join platform 300 confirms all accompanying members of the hole-in-one member and provides rewards to the hole-in-one member and all confirmed accompanying members (S120) (S130).

Additionally, the golf join platform 300 can confirm all unaccompanied members eligible for rewards and provide rewards to all confirmed unaccompanied members (S140) (S150). In S140, the hole-in-one reward unit 330 of the golf join platform 300 acquires location information from the golf join apps 200 of all members except the hole-in-one member and accompanying members, and uses the acquired location information to connect the hole-in-one member and Members confirmed to be located at the same golf course are confirmed to be unaccompanied members eligible for rewards. Such S140 may be performed not after S100 but after the hole-in-one success message is received and before the hole-in-one certificate is received when S100 determines whether the hole-in-one is successful through the hole-in-one success message → hole-in-one certificate.

Meanwhile, the golf join platform 300 provides rewards only to the non-member if the user who succeeded in making a hole-in-one in S110 is confirmed to be a non-member.
