In addition, the player terminal 110 detects the presence of another player or caddy by analyzing the video captured by the camera 114, and if another player or caddy exists in the direction in which the player is aiming at the target point, the player speaker ( By outputting a guidance voice warning of a fore situation through 113a), there is no need for the player to warn the fore situation through voice, and there is an advantage in that the fore situation can be accurately recognized even in a location where the player's voice is not heard.

For this purpose, the player terminal 110 and the caddy terminal 120 are equipped with a GPS module and can determine the current location of each player within the golf course using the received GPS signal.

Meanwhile, when the stroke preparation signal is output through the player control unit 112, the player terminal 110 counts the set remaining stroke time as shown in FIG. 9 and displays it on the display 111, so that the player is not conscious of it. You can prevent a situation where the stroke time is long and cause inconvenience to fellow players or caddies.

In addition, the player terminal 110 counts the time required from the first stroke to the last stroke for each hole and displays it on the display 111 as shown in the drawing, and counts the time required from the first stroke of the first hole to the last stroke of the last hole. By displaying it on the display 111, there is an advantage that the player can easily check the time without having to calculate each required time to manage the game time.

Here, the time required from the first stroke to the last stroke for each hole can be measured based on the corresponding player, and can be measured based on the first stroke of the first player in each hole to the last stroke of the last player.

In addition, the player terminal 110 displays the topographic map of the current hole and the current position on the topographic map on the display 111, and uses the previously stored distance data of the player to make the next stroke from the current position as shown in FIG. 10. By displaying the target point on the topographical map, it is possible to prevent the player from hitting the ball to a point other than the target point and guide the player to reduce the number of golf strokes.

And, as shown in FIG. 11, the player terminal 110 can display a desired target point and save it through a drawing function. For example, if you operate the third button (112c) by double-clicking, you can switch to drawing mode, and if you operate the first button (112a) for a long time, you can input that you have completed the last stroke in the hole and holed out. there is.

Meanwhile, the match result history data may further include the game time from the start to the end of the golf game, the time each stroke was completed within the game time, and the game score status changed according to each stroke.

In addition, the player control unit 112 outputs a virtual companion selection signal according to the player's operation, and when the virtual companion selection signal is output through the player control unit 112, the player terminal 110 stores the virtual companion selection signal stored in the main server 130. Among the match result history data for each player, match result history data of a specific player selected by the player is received.

In addition, when a golf game starts, the player terminal 110 measures the game time and displays the player's game score on the display 111, and uses the received game result history data to show the change in game score of the specific player. It can be synchronized with the measured game time and displayed on the display 111. Here, the start of a golf game can be recognized as manipulating the player control unit 112 or outputting the player's first stroke input data.

For example, if a player has played at a golf course last year, match result history data for that player in that match is received, and match time from the current golf match and past golf matches are synchronized to pass the time. Accordingly, the game score status that the player is scoring in the current golf game and the game score status that the player is scoring in the past golf game can be displayed on the screen at the same time.

Therefore, it is possible to conduct a virtual game, such as playing with other players or former players in addition to the companion player currently playing at the golf course, and through this, the fun and interest of golf can be greatly increased.

In addition, in addition to the match result history data for the player or other players, the average match result history data of players for each handicap level is generated and used to match with virtual characters at the same handicap level as the player, or at a higher handicap level or lower handicap level. The same conditions may be provided.

Meanwhile, the golf information providing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may be equipped to check the player's stroke posture using the AI unit 140.

To this end, the AI unit 140 is placed on a golf cart 20 that moves along the player within the golf course as the golf game progresses, and uses a camera 141 that can rotate and adjust the shooting direction. Depending on the progress of the game, the player whose turn it is to make a stroke is detected and the swing posture is captured.

In addition, the AI unit 140 automatically provides voice guidance on controls necessary for the game progress through the speaker 141, thereby promoting smooth play and greatly increasing the caddy's convenience.

In addition, the AI unit 140 captures the player's stroke posture, and the player terminal 110 receives the stroke posture image captured by the AI unit 140 from the AI unit 140 or the main server 130. This can be displayed on the display 111.

In this way, the player's stroke posture is captured and stored, and transmitted in real time to the player's player terminal 110 so that the player's current stroke posture can be recognized during the game, so that the stroke posture on the field can be identified through the captured video. It can be checked in real time, which has the advantage of making it easy to correct posture.

In addition, the AI unit 140 analyzes the captured image, measures the distance and hitting direction of the stroked golf ball, and provides the measured data to the player terminal 110 of the corresponding player, and each player terminal 110 When the golf ball moves in the direction where a specific player is located by recognizing the current location of the player, a fore guidance signal is transmitted to the player terminal 110 of the specific player, and when the fore guidance signal is received, the player terminal 110 of the specific player A guidance voice warning of a pore situation can be output through the speaker 113a. Through this, the convenience and safety of each player can be promoted, and even if the player or caddy is not aware of the fore situation, surrounding players can be informed of the dangerous situation.

In addition, the AI unit 140 recognizes the positions of the player and the golf ball, determines the player's alignment readiness state, and transmits alignment guidance information to each player terminal 110, and each player terminal 110 provides alignment guidance. When information is received, the player's readiness to play can be output audio. Therefore, there is no need for the player or caddy to verbally convey to each player each alignment preparation, and the game progress can be disseminated in real time.

In addition, the AI unit 140 analyzes the video captured by the camera 114 and, if the alignment angle at which the player is aiming at the target point is outside the appropriate range, sends an alignment defect signal to the player terminal 110 of the player. When transmitting and receiving an alignment defect signal from the AI unit 140, the player terminal 110 of the corresponding player may output a voice signal informing of the defective alignment state through the player speaker 113a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent devitrification due to poor alignment.
