Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides an apparatus for recording, storing, and replaying a golfer's motions using image technology. Unlike conventional equipment, this apparatus can record the swing images of the golfer at different angles, store them in a computer, and replay them for further analysis. It is designed to assist the golfer in self-practice or practice under the instruction of trainers, increasing learning effectiveness. Additionally, the apparatus is affordable and easy to operate, requiring only one camera and not multiple cameras or infrared cameras."
Problems solved by technology
Moreover, there is a trend of gradual decreasing age with these golfers.
The golf is also one of the most difficult sports recognized by the people of the world to learn.
However, as the golfer cannot see his own bodily golf swing motion (without the assistance of any equipment, the golfer can only see a partial vision of his golf swing motion of the hands, feet, and abdomen.)
Consequently, there are a lot of difficulties in learning it.
Some of these swing practice accessory equipment cannot provide whole-body images (such as upright mirrors), and others require the assistance of the others in the operation (such as computers and several cameras).
Their greatest common disadvantage is the inability to replay the swing movement instantly.
Although this equipment can obviate the above-mentioned complicated key-pressing operations, it cannot instantly and automatically replay the images right after the ball impact of each swing.

Embodiment Construction
[0020] The object of the present invention is to provide the sport circles with a multiple-angle video recording and automatic instant video replay system that meet the imminent needs of the spoilt circles. For a clearer explanation, the golf is taken as an example here, and the application of the apparatus in the other sports will be explained later. In its broadest sense, the apparatus of the present invention includes one or a plurality of cameras so as to catch one-angle or multiple-angle images of the swing motion of the golfer; analogical image data is digitalized and then stored and the results are subsequently used to determine whether the ball has been hit by means of an image processing, analyzing and storing system; a frame display instantly displays or replays the swing motion of the golfer on the frame; and a control keyboard to monitor the entire apparatus system. Likewise, taking the indoor golf swing practice as an example, as shown in FIG. 1, an artificial green gol...

Description
BACKGORUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to the application of a computer, cameras, and image analyzing technology for a video recording and automatic instant video replay apparatus system of a golfer's swing or other sporting activities, and the application of the apparatus for the golfer's swing practice at home, at golf driving ranges, and at outdoor natural grass, or for other spoilt activities. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] The golf is one of the most popular sports in the world. According to recent statistics released by the Department of Commerce of the USA, there are 23 million occasional or frequent golfers in the USA. Moreover, there is a trend of gradual decreasing age with these golfers. The golf is also one of the most difficult sports recognized by the people of the world to learn. In terms of the quantity and the types of learning materials, apparatuses, or equipment, the golf is second to none a...
