Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

The present invention implements the actual actual game content of the actual player as a screen golf, the player proceeds to play according to the actual content of the game and the user can participate in the game as a companion to play the game as a companion player by participating in the game content To provide a screen golf service of the way.

The term "athlete" here is not a narrow concept limited to only active professional athletes, but a broad concept of all athletes who are active or have been active in the past, and also includes professional athletes and amateur athletes. In addition, it includes celebrities and other celebrities, and includes all golfers who can be provided with the play records necessary to implement the present invention.

The screen golf system for implementing the present invention is composed of a management server 20, the screen golf device 30, as shown in Figure 1, the management server 20 receives data from the broadcaster server (10).

The broadcaster server 10 is a server having a record of the actual game image of the actual player and the player's play. Since a broadcaster that photographs a real game video is generally provided with a real game video, the broadcaster server is referred to as a broadcaster server. However, the broadcaster server may not be a broadcaster server.

The management server 20 is a server that receives the actual game image from the broadcaster server 10 and prepares player data to be described later provided to the screen golf device 30 based on this. The screen golf course is typically associated with a company that manufactures and sells the screen golf device 30 to perform various functions of the screen golf device 30 and to update data such as a golf course, and the management server 20 It will be common to configure a server operated by a company that manufactures and sells the screen golf device. However, the management server 20 is not limited to this, in connection with the server of such a company to create the player data required in the present invention to provide to the server of the production, sales company or directly to the screen golf device 30 It may be configured as a separate server.

The screen golf device 30 is a device provided in the screen golf course, in the present invention is a device for performing the main process of the present invention as described below. Screen golf device 30 is composed of a conventional computer, a physical screen, and a variety of facilities that the user can play golf.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a screen golf service providing process in the system of FIG. 1.

The broadcaster server 10 transmits the match video that it owns according to the request of the management server 20 (S10). In this case, the broadcaster server 10 adds to the match video and the details of the players who participated in the match. Provide a complete record of the match results. The recording here includes not only the score in each hole of the player, but also the record for each shot, and includes, for example, the flying distance, the falling position, the distance from the falling position to the hole, etc. of all the shots of the player.

The management server 20 creates the player data using the received game image. (S20) The player data includes all records related to the player's play provided from the broadcaster server 10, and also displays the player's play image. Include. The play image is an image displayed when the screen golf apparatus 30 displays the player's play on the screen as described below. The play image may include image data, simulation data, or simulation data.

Here, the image data means data of an image actually played by a player (that is, data of an image photographed by a broadcaster). The simulation data is data that simulates the contents of the video using a player's character, and is data that is simulated by an animation production method. It can be produced using computer graphics by the animation producer. The simulation data is produced by simulating the player's actual play based on the player's record. For example, when the player's play record provides information about the ball's drop position as a result of the first tee shot, the simulation shows the player's play. Irrespective of the captured video, the virtual player or character randomly makes a tee shot and shows the video, but the play result is set to match the record of the shot.

Video data has the advantage of being the most realistic because it shows the video itself actually played, but it may be accompanied by compensation for copyright of the broadcaster or portrait rights of the player, which is heterogeneous compared to the video provided for the user's play on the screen golf device. Since the video, it can inhibit the user's immersion in the screen golf game itself. On the other hand, since the simulated data is composed of the same contents as the actual played video, but is separately produced by imitating the actual video, the portrait rights and copyright issues are somewhat reduced, and the game can be composed of the same video as the user's play. Immersion to can be maintained. In the case of simulation data, there is no portrait right or copyright issue, and moreover, the video corresponding to the player's play record for each shot may be pre-produced as the simulation data, or the management server 20 or the screen golf device 30 may be immediately produced in real time. There is an advantage. For example, if the simulation data for the case where the ball to be shot is in the bunker and the shot has been dropped on the green is produced in advance, the current shot of the player is a shot of the same situation. The simulation data can be provided as a play video. Furthermore, the simulation data can be produced by the management server 20 or the screen golf device 30 even if only the record is not included in the player data, so that the play video can be provided to the user without an image of the corresponding shot of the player. Can provide.

The management server 20 provides the player data to the screen golf device 30. (S30) Such player data may be provided for a specific player every time the screen golf device 30 is requested, or the player for all players in advance. Data may be provided to the screen golf device 30.

The user 40 who visits the screen golf course selects a player to be rounded with himself by operating the screen golf device 30. (S40) FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a screen in which the user 40 selects a player. Such a screen is displayed on a screen included in the screen golf device 30. In the "Select Player" menu, the names of several athletes, such as "AAAA", "BBBB" and "CCCC", are displayed. If a player named 'CCCC' is selected in the player selection menu, a "match selection" menu is displayed as a sub menu for selecting a game name for which the player data has been previously written. If, for example, the '2013 KLPGA Master' is selected in the "match selection" menu, the play content of a game in which the 'CCCC' player participates in the game '2013 KLPGA Master' is selected as the player data.

The screen golf apparatus 30 adopts the player data of the selected player through such a process, and thus the player selected as the opponent who plays the game using the screen golf apparatus 30 is set. In other words, the screen golf device 30 is set as a situation in which the user is a partner rounding the player and the game selected by the user. (S50) Meanwhile, in FIG. In addition, it may be configured to select a golf course played by the player together with the player. In this case, the screen golf apparatus 30 sets the record and the video of the game which the player played in the golf course as player data.

When the user 40 starts the game with the player set through the above process, the full rounding game is started. (S60) The screen golf device 30 uses the player data and the screen golf device 30 of the user. The accompanying rounding game is performed according to a predetermined game progress method using the play result.

At this time, the accompanying rounding game combines the user data and the player data to proceed in the same manner as in the actual golf game. In general, in a golf game, when all players take a tee shot, the results of the shots of all players are compared with each other, and as a result of the pitching, the owner of the ball farthest from the hole first takes the next shot. The principle determines the order in which players participate. When the player who decides to make the first dust shot shots, the player who decides to take the next shot will be decided again based on the principle of pitching.

In the present invention, the same method is applied, but the target players are users and players. That is, the screen golf apparatus 30 compares the result of the tee shot at the hole 1 of the user with the result of the tee shot at the hole 1 of the player in the player data, and determines the player who will take the next shot according to the principle of pitching. (S70)

In this case, the screen golf device 30 displays the play video for each shot of the player and the user on the screen. (S80) If the player determined to take the next shot is the user, the user makes a shot, and the user's shot result. The play video according to this is displayed by the screen golf device 30. If the player determined to take the next shot is the player, the player's play video is displayed by the screen golf device 30.

This process is repeated for each shot of the user and the player, so that the next player's decision (S70) according to the principle of pitching a shot and the video display (S80) of the result of the player's shot are repeated. The screen golf device 30 displays the result of the golf game by repetition of the steps S70 and S80 for each shot, every hole, or every game.

In the present invention, the play image of the player does not merely show the result of reflecting the player data, but has a feature of displaying a situation in which the actual player plays according to the player data for each shot on the screen. In other words, as the result of the play for each shot included in the player data, the ball is flying, the ball is rolling, the location and the situation where the ball is dropped, and so on. Provides a screen similar to doing As such, by displaying the video of the player's play process according to the player data during the game, the user can view all or a part of each shot of the player, so that the user does not recognize the player's play result only. Not so much on the screen golf course, players can get a feeling similar to playing together as a companion.

In this way, the video actually played by the player may allow the user to select the display method. 4 is an example of a menu screen in which a user selects a method of displaying a play video of such a player. The menu of FIG. 4 is preferably provided immediately after selecting the name of the player and the game of FIG. 3, and can be changed even during play.

As shown in FIG. 4, the video display method includes a 'real game video', a 'simulation video', and the like.

When the player's 'real game video' is selected as the play video, the actual play video of the shot in the original corresponding game, that is, the aforementioned video data is displayed. To this end, the management server 20, when creating the player data from the competition image received from the broadcaster server 10, to match the actual image taken by each shot to create and provide it to the screen golf device 30. When the user selects the 'simulated image', the above-described simulation data is displayed as the play image. The above-described image of the simulated data can also be configured as a menu selectable by the user.

The screen golf device 30 may display a mixture of the 'real game image' and the 'simulation image' even when the user selects the 'real game image'. In the actual game video provided by the broadcaster server 10, only some shot scenes of the corresponding players may be recorded as video, and the rest may not be recorded as video. In this case, even if the 'real game video' is selected, all actual game videos cannot be displayed, and thus, a shot without the actual game video is provided as a simulation video. Furthermore, the screen golf apparatus 30 may provide a 'mixed display image' provided by mixing 'real game image' and 'simulation image' as a menu selectable by a user.

On the other hand, the user can be input to the screen golf device 30 with respect to the game determination method with the player. FIG. 5 is an exemplary view of a screen provided by the screen golf device 30 for a user to input a selection for a game type, and the menu of FIG. 5 is preferably provided immediately after selecting a player and a game name of FIG. 3. You can also make changes while playing. As shown in FIG. 5, the user may select a game manner in a manner such as 'stroke', 'skins' and the like.

The screen golf apparatus 30 calculates the result according to the game determination method and displays the result as an intermediate result during the game or as a final result after the game is finished. (S90) FIG. 6 shows the result of the rounding between the user and the player. FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen displaying an intermediate result of a game, in which a skin is selected on the screen of FIG. 5. It shows the situation where the user is losing by two holes while the user has played a game with the 'CCCC' player and has completed the play up to the sixth hole.

On the other hand, in implementing the present invention, it is necessary to allocate revenue to interested parties from the amount paid by the user who uses the functions of the present invention in the screen golf course. Stakeholders may be provided by a player with a copyright or publicity right to make publicly available information about a person's play or personal record, a broadcaster with a copyright on the video taken, There is a golf course with a copyright for the image of the field played by the player. The management server 20 receives the information (or usage record information) about the fee paid to the operator of the screen golf device 30 to the user from the screen golf device 30 to pay the service fee accordingly afterwards or in advance. In this way, the management server 20 notifies the players, the broadcasting company (or the broadcasting company server), the golf course (or the golf course server) of the predetermined royalty fee, etc. from the service price paid by the management server 20, or integrates and manages the copyright. It can be settled by notifying to a server of a separate external management company (for example, a copyright management association).

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
