[0023] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0024] The smart laser shooting system (100) according to the present embodiment may be configured to include a laser shooting device unit (110), a shooting app driving unit (120), a central processing server (130), a user module (140), and an administrator module (150), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0025] First, the laser firing device (110) is a component that emits a laser beam toward a target upon firing and detects the shooting score by recognizing the laser beam that hits the target. That is, the laser firing device (110) performs firing using a laser beam rather than live ammunition, and recognizes the score that hits the target by the laser beam emitted at this time.

[0026] To this end, in this embodiment, the laser shooting device (110) can be specifically configured with a laser gun (111) and a smart target (112) as shown in FIG. 2. First, the laser gun (111) has a structure similar to a gun that fires live ammunition as shown in FIG. 2 and is a component that fires a laser beam (113) forward by the user's shooting action.

[0027] Next, the smart target (112) is a component that recognizes the laser beam (113) fired by the laser gun (111) and transmits the recognized shooting score to the shooting app driving unit (120). In this embodiment, the smart target (112) is equipped with a microcomputer having a built-in quad-core CPU to recognize and calculate the shooting score in real time from the laser beam fired by the laser gun (111) and impacted on the target.

[0028] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the smart target (112) be further equipped with a distance sensor (113) that detects the firing distance of the laser gun (111). The actual firing distance can be confirmed by the distance sensor (113), thereby ensuring the reliability of the shooting ability. A distance sensor using ultrasound may be employed as the distance sensor (113).

[0029] And as illustrated in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the laser shooting device (110) according to the present embodiment further includes an ultrasonic distance measuring plate (115). The ultrasonic distance measuring plate (115) is installed in front of the smart target (112) to perform the function of determining the shooting position of the shooter and serves as a reference point for measuring the shooting distance by the distance sensor (113).

[0030] In addition, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the laser gun (111) be further equipped with an ID identification unit (not shown in the drawing). The ID identification unit is installed on the laser gun (111) and is connected to the smart target (112) via wireless communication, enabling the smart target (112) to identify the ID of the laser gun (111) where actual shooting takes place. Therefore, even if the smart target is shot at by another laser gun, it is not recognized as a score, making it possible to determine the shooting result more accurately.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the smart target (112) be further equipped with a camera (114) that photographs a user shooting the laser gun (111), as shown in FIG. 3. The camera (114) photographs the user in real time at the time of actual shooting to identify the user, as well as to photograph the user's shooting posture and provide it to the central processing server (130). The shooting posture information provided in this way can be used for shooting posture lessons.

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the laser firing device unit (110) further be equipped with a sound effect output unit (170). As shown in FIG. 1, the sound effect output unit (170) is installed in the laser firing device unit (110) and is a component that simultaneously outputs a sound effect at the moment of firing by the laser gun (111).

[0033] The laser gun (111) according to the present embodiment has the disadvantage that it does not produce a shooting sound effect because it emits a laser beam instead of firing a live bullet, thus failing to provide the sensation of live bullet firing. Therefore, by providing a sound effect in conjunction with the shooting action through the sound effect output unit (170), the user can be given the same effect as live bullet firing.

[0034] In addition, the sound effect output unit (170) may provide voice information regarding the progress of the shooting performed by the laser shooting device unit (110).

[0035] Next, the shooting app driving unit (120) is connected to the laser shooting device unit (110) via short-range wireless communication as shown in FIG. 1, and is a component that receives the shooting score detected by the laser shooting device unit (110) via the shooting app program and provides the received shooting score to the central processing server (130). That is, the shooting app driving unit (120) receives the shooting score detected by the laser shooting device unit (110) via short-range wireless communication and provides the received shooting score to the central processing server (130) in real time.

[0036] To this end, the shooting app driver (120) must first identify the smart target (112) to which it will receive the shooting score and communicate with it using a short-range wireless communication method. Accordingly, the shooting app driver (120) and the smart target (112) initially confirm each other's existence via infrared communication, and the shooting app driver (120) uses a Wi-Fi network, which is a short-range wireless communication method, to identify the Wi-Fi ID of the smart target (112) to which it is matched, connect to it, and receive the shooting score.

[0037] Accordingly, a shooting app program that performs such functions is installed in the shooting app driving unit (120), and the shooting app driving unit (120) can be implemented as a device capable of performing such functions on a mobile, such as a mobile phone, tablet PC, smart monitor, etc.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, a mobile record room app program may be further installed in the shooting app driving unit (120). The mobile record room app program provides a function to remotely observe a shooting competition or shooting battle conducted online by the smart laser shooting system (100) according to this embodiment. Additionally, necessary shooting records may be converted into files and output.

[0039] Next, the central processing server (130) is installed at a distance from the shooting app driving unit (120) as shown in FIG. 1 and is connected by an internet network (160). It is a component that stores and processes the shooting scores provided by the shooting app driving unit (120) and provides them to the user module (140) and the administrator module (150). That is, the central processing server (130) is connected to a plurality of shooting app driving units (120) connected by the internet network (160), processes the shooting scores provided from them according to their nature, such as shooting competitions, record shooting, and ranking shooting, and provides them in real time to the user module (140) and the administrator module (150) through the internet network.

[0040] To this end, in this embodiment, the central processing server (130) is preferably composed of a cloud server (131) and a database (132) that stores data, as shown in FIG. 1. First, the cloud server (131) refers to a server installed on the cloud of the internet network (160) and generally operates the smart laser shooting system (100) according to this embodiment. Then, shooting scores and shooting competition status transmitted by a plurality of shooting app driving units (120) connected to the internet network (160) by the cloud server (131) are processed and provided to the user module (140) and the administrator module (150).

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the cloud server (131) provides the user module (140) and the administrator module (150) with a real-time relay program capable of relaying laser shooting in real time by the laser shooting device unit (110) connected by the internet network (160) of the cloud server (131). This real-time relay program may be installed as a mobile record room app program or provided and installed as general software.

[0042] Next, the database (132) is a component that stores all shooting records provided by the shooting app driving unit (120). Accordingly, all laser shooting records made by the smart laser shooting system (100) according to the present embodiment are stored as big data in the database (132). The shooting record data and video data regarding shooting postures stored in the database (132) are produced as lesson content by an artificial intelligence analysis unit (not shown in the drawing).

[0043] The artificial intelligence analysis unit uses deep learning technology to analyze and learn shooting-related data stored in the database, and provides lesson content generated to the user. It is desirable that the lesson content include lesson content for correcting shooting posture.

[0044] Next, the user module (140) is connected to the central processing server (130) and the internet network (160) as shown in FIG. 1, and is a component that allows the user to watch a match or participate in ranking shooting through a shooting app program provided by the central processing server (130). That is, the user module (140) is a mobile device used by a user who performs a shooting competition or shooting practice using the smart laser shooting system (100) according to the present embodiment. The user module (140) may be configured as a device that uses the services provided by the smart laser shooting system (100) of the present embodiment by installing a shooting app program or a mobile record room app program provided by the central processing server (130).

[0045] Therefore, when the shooting app program is launched, the main screen of the smart laser shooting system according to the present embodiment is displayed on the user module (140) for the first time, as shown in FIG. 5. On this main screen, the program can be launched by touching the icon corresponding to the menu to be actually performed.

[0046] When the menu to be actually executed is run in this way, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the process of identifying and connecting the laser firing device unit (110) where the firing will take place is performed first. That is, the Wifi ID of the smart target (112) found within the short range of the user module (140) is searched, and the Wifi ID to be connected among them is found and selected.

[0047] Then, as shown in Fig. 7, you can perform shooting practice, etc., by selecting the menu currently in use, namely the 'Use as shooting range app' icon. Of course, you can also perform other tasks by selecting other menus, such as using as a speaker app or using as a status board app.

[0048] In the shooting range app usage menu, for example, when performing free shooting, you can set basic rules and start free shooting as shown in FIG. 8. Here, free shooting is a menu where no record is saved and you can enjoy shooting play freely.

[0049] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the shooting app program installed on the user module (140) preferably provides a room creation function that can create a shooting competition room by inviting users connected to the central processing server (130). Here, the room creation function is a virtual space where multiple users from various regions connected online by the smart laser shooting system (100) in this embodiment can gather in a virtual shooting range online and enjoy shooting.

[0050] That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the user module (140) is provided with a room creation screen, and through this screen, a shooting room can be freely created by setting the number of participants and shooting rules. Through this shooting room creation function, multiple users residing in various regions can conduct shooting competitions or shooting contests online.

[0051] Next, the above-mentioned manager module (150) is a component that controls and manages multiple laser shooting device units (110) and shooting app driving units (120) installed within a certain space. That is, the above-mentioned manager module (150) simultaneously controls and manages multiple smart targets (112) installed adjacently within a certain space, such as a shooting range, and shooting app driving units (120) connected thereto.

[0052] Accordingly, the above-mentioned manager module (150) is configured with a desktop PC, etc., installed at the front of a shooting range as shown in FIG. 1, and a shooting management app program is installed to control and manage a plurality of laser shooting device units and shooting app operation units installed within a certain space.
