That is to say, when the player is in the hitting position, the processing unit 201 of the second device 200 can set the current hitting position, and according to weather factors, terrain factors, the current hitting position of the golfer in the golf course, the player The personal profile and the hitting record of the player generate the recommended club information of the player at the current hitting position, and the communication unit 203 of the second device 200 transmits the recommended club message to the first device 100 for pushing. Display for reference by golfers. In addition, the second device 200 can also provide the reference of the current location and the hole to the first device 100 according to the position information measured by the positioning unit 107 of the first device 100. The player can refer to the current position and the hole according to the current position. Choose the club with the recommended club information as described above.

In the present exemplary embodiment, when the golfer drives the golf cart to the falling position of the ball, when the golfer's golf cart approaches one of the image sensors 300a to 300d, the processing unit 201 of the second device 200 A photographing function of one of the image sensors 300a to 300d is activated to perform photographing. Specifically, the image sensors 300a-300d of the automated service system 1000 may be configured, for example, by a first hole terrace, a first hole green, a second hole step, and a second, respectively, in the golf course. Hole green. Assuming that the golfer drives the golf cart to go to the first hole green to hit the ball, the communication unit 203 of the second device 200 can receive the position information transmitted by the positioning unit 107 of the first device 100, and the processing unit 201 according to the position The information is judged with the position information of the image sensors 300a to 300d stored in advance in the storage unit 205. When the processing unit 201 determines that the first device 100 is located at a distance of less than a predetermined distance from the image sensor 300b (hereinafter also referred to as the first image sensor) disposed on the first hole green (for example, the first image sensor) 20 meters), the second processing unit 201 activates the image sensor 300b to take a video or video to record the image or video of the player when hitting the ball on the second hole. In addition, when the golfer drives the cart away from the second hole green, the processing unit 201 determines that the processing unit 201 can be turned off when the image sensor 300b of the second golf green is greater than the preset distance. The photographing function of the image sensor 300b. Thereafter, the image sensor 300b transmits the captured image or video to the second device 200 for storage in the storage unit 205 of the second device 200.

Thereafter, the processing unit 201 of the second device 200 can output at least part of the image or video to the first device 100 according to the hitting score uploaded by the player. Specifically, the hitting scores are, for example, one shot hole, Bodie (1 under par), an eagle (2 under par), a putter, and the like. The user can input the hitting result input by the input unit 103 of the first device 100, and send the hitting result to the second device 200 by the communication unit 105, and the processing unit 201 of the second device 200 according to the hitting The score of the ball, output the highlights of the hitting today. Alternatively, the player can also select a part of the image or video clip to be output through the input unit 103 of the first device 100 by hand to commemorate.

It is worth mentioning that, since the automated service system 1000 can include a plurality of first devices 100, the second device 200 can learn, by using the plurality of location information measured by the first device 100, the current players in the stadium. The distribution situation, and based on the location information, analyzes the progress of each ball player in the course. For example, the second device 200 can determine the hitting speed of the player in the court by the time required for the player to move to the next hitting position in a hitting position in the court, and then analyze the player. The time it takes to finish all the holes and figure out the current hitting progress. In addition, the second device 200 can combine the personal information of the players who are waiting to hit the ball according to the distribution of the players on the field (ie, the position information measured by the first device 100) and the progress of the ball player. In the past, the scores of the batting results automatically determine when the player who is waiting for the next shot will hit the ball and when the player who has reserved the appointment will be present to wait, which will improve the efficiency of the course.

4 is a flow chart of a golf course automation service method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, the second device 200 receives the user's personal profile from the first device 100 (step S401), and receives a plurality of hitting records of the user from the first device 100, wherein the hitting record is A plurality of club types respectively used by the user at a plurality of hitting positions of the golf course (step S403). Thereafter, the second device 200 stores the personal data and the shot record (step S405). Finally, the second device 200 outputs the recommended club information of the user at the current hitting position according to the weather factor, the terrain factor, the current hitting position of the user, the user's personal data, and the user's hitting record, and transmits the recommended club information at the current hitting position. This recommends the club message to the first device 100 (step S407).

In summary, the golf course automation service system proposed by the novel creation can automatically recommend the club that the golfer should use when hitting the ball position, and can output the image or video of the hitting ball to commemorate the player. It can effectively reduce the cost of golf course manpower and enhance the user experience of golfers.
