[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] The golf laser rangefinder provided in this application can be used to assist golfers in making shot strategies when playing golf.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the golf laser rangefinder includes a data processing module 100, a laser rangefinder module 200, a GPS positioning module 300, and a display module 400 connected to the data processing module 100.

[0045] The laser ranging module 200 is used to perform laser ranging, obtain ranging information, and send the obtained ranging information to the data processing module 100. Specifically, the laser ranging module 200 first emits a laser to the object to be measured, receives the laser reflected by the object, and records the round-trip time of the laser. Then, it calculates the distance between the golf laser ranging telescope and the object to be measured based on the round-trip time and sends the distance between the golf laser ranging telescope and the object to the data processing module 100. The object to be measured can be any object in space that can reflect laser light, such as grass, ground, a ball, or a flagpole.

[0046] Specifically, flagpoles are placed on golf course holes to mark their positions. The laser ranging module 200 can be used to perform laser ranging on the flagpoles to obtain the hole distance, and then send the obtained hole distance to the data processing module 100. Additionally, the laser ranging module 200 can also be used to measure the height or length of any two points in space. It is understood that any two points in space in this embodiment are entities visible through the eyepiece of the golf laser ranging telescope.

[0047] The GPS positioning module 300 is used to locate the golf laser rangefinder telescope, obtain positioning information, and send the obtained positioning information to the data processing module 100. The positioning information includes the GPS coordinates of the golf laser rangefinder telescope. The GPS positioning module 300 sends the GPS coordinates of the golf laser rangefinder telescope to the data processing module 100.

[0048] The data processing module 100 matches the location information with golf course map data, obtains matching golf course geographic information data from the golf course map data, and sends the distance measurement information and golf course geographic information data to the display module 400. The golf course map data includes map data from multiple golf courses. Each course map data can include course coordinate information and course terrain information. Furthermore, the course coordinate information includes the coordinates of the holes, greens, and obstacles. The course terrain information includes terrain type, terrain extent, and terrain location.

[0049] Specifically, after receiving the location information, the data processing module 100 retrieves the golf course map data that matches the location information from multiple golf course map data. It then uses the course coordinates and terrain information included in this golf course map data as the golf course geographic information data. Finally, it sends the distance measurement information along with the golf course geographic information data to the display module 400.

[0050] Display module 400 is used to display distance measurement information and golf course geographic information data. Specifically, display module 400 can display the specific locations of holes, greens, and hazards on the golf course based on the course coordinates information in the golf course geographic information data, and display the types of terrain on the golf course, as well as the specific locations and extents of each type of terrain, based on the course topography information in the golf course geographic information data. Display module 400 can inform golfers of hole distances, terrain types, terrain extents, green locations, hole locations, etc., in the form of text or images, to facilitate golfers in making shot strategies.

[0051] Furthermore, the data processing module 100 can also send the positioning information to the display module 400, which displays the specific location of the golf laser rangefinder on the golf course map based on the positioning information and the golf course geographic information data.

[0052] In this embodiment, the golf laser rangefinder telescope includes a data processing module 100, and a laser rangefinder module 200, a GPS positioning module 300, and a display module 400 connected to the data processing module 100. The laser rangefinder module 200 performs laser rangefinding, obtains range information, and sends the obtained range information to the data processing module 100. The GPS positioning module 300 locates the golf laser rangefinder telescope, obtains location information, and sends the obtained location information to the data processing module 100. The data processing module 100 matches the location information with golf course map data, obtains matching golf course geographic information data from the golf course map data, and sends the range information and golf course geographic information data to the display module 400. The display module 400 displays the range information and golf course geographic information data. This allows golfers to formulate their hitting strategies based on the range information and golf course geographic information data displayed by the golf laser rangefinder telescope without using other equipment, greatly improving ease of use.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the data processing module 100 includes a main video processing unit 110 and a coprocessing unit 120 that are communicatively connected to each other. The GPS positioning module 300 is connected to either the main video processing unit 110 or the coprocessing unit 120. Figure 2 (Taking the connection between the GPS positioning module 300 and the main video processing unit 110 as an example for illustration), the display module 400 and the laser ranging module 200 are connected to the main video processing unit 110.

[0054] The coprocessing unit 120 is used to obtain the location information forwarded by the main video processing unit 110, or to obtain the location information from the GPS positioning module 300, and to match the location information with the golf course map data, obtain the golf course geographic information data that matches the location information from the golf course map data, and send the golf course geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110.

[0055] Optionally, the main video processing unit 110 can obtain positioning information from the GPS positioning module 300 and send it to the coprocessing unit 120. After receiving the positioning information, the coprocessing unit 120 obtains the golf course map data matching the positioning information from the golf course map data of multiple golf courses, and uses the golf course coordinate information and golf course topography information included in the golf course map data as golf course geographic information data. Alternatively, the coprocessing unit 120 can directly obtain the positioning information from the GPS positioning module 300, and then obtain the golf course map data matching the positioning information from the golf course map data of multiple golf courses, and use the golf course coordinate information and golf course topography information included in the golf course map data as golf course geographic information data.

[0056] The main video processing unit 110 acquires the ranging information sent by the laser ranging module 200 and the golf course geographic information data sent by the co-processing unit 120, and fuses the ranging information and golf course geographic information data before sending them to the display module 400. The display module 400 can display the fused ranging information and golf course geographic information data. Golfers can directly obtain the ranging information and golf course geographic information data through the display module 400 and make shot strategies based on the ranging information and golf course geographic information data.

[0057] In this embodiment, the data processing module 100 includes a main video processing unit 110 and a coprocessing unit 120 that are communicatively connected to each other. The GPS positioning module 300 is connected to either the main video processing unit 110 or the coprocessing unit 120. The display module 400 and the laser ranging module 200 are connected to the main video processing unit 110. The coprocessing unit 120 is used to acquire positioning information forwarded by the main video processing unit 110, or to acquire positioning information from the GPS positioning module 300, and to match the positioning information with golf course map data. It then obtains golf course geographic information data matching the positioning information from the golf course map data and sends the golf course geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110. The main video processing unit 110 is used to acquire ranging information sent by the laser ranging module 200 and golf course geographic information data sent by the coprocessing unit 120, and to fuse the ranging information and golf course geographic information data before sending them to the display module 400. This allows golfers to make shot strategies based on the ranging information and golf course geographic information data displayed by the golf laser ranging telescope without using other equipment, greatly improving ease of use.

[0058] In one embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 is used to generate a first layer containing distance measurement information based on distance measurement information, generate a second layer based on stadium geographic information data, and send the first layer and the second layer to the display module 400 so that the first layer and the second layer can be overlaid and displayed by the display module 400.

[0059] The first layer contains distance measurement information, including measurement data and units. The second layer includes a golf course map. This map displays the location of each hole, the extent and location of various terrain features, the location of hazards, and the size and area of ​​the greens.

[0060] After the main video processing unit 110 sends the first layer and the second layer to the display module 400, the display module 400 can overlay the first layer and the second layer for display. Furthermore, the overlaid first layer and second layer can be displayed overlaid with real-time video. The real-time video can be captured by a camera in a golf laser rangefinder. The camera sends the real-time video to the main video processing unit 110, which then sends it to the display unit for overlay display with the first layer and the second layer.

[0061] In this embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 generates a first layer containing distance measurement information based on the distance measurement information, generates a second layer based on the golf course geographic information data, and sends the first and second layers to the display module 400 for overlay display. This allows golfers to obtain distance measurement information more intuitively and access the golf course map without using other devices, thus facilitating golfers to make shot strategies directly based on the distance measurement information displayed by the golf laser rangefinder and the golf course map.

[0062] In one embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 is further configured to receive a layer selection signal and send a first layer and / or a second layer to the display module 400 according to the layer selection signal, so as to display the first layer, the second layer, or the image after the first layer and the second layer are superimposed through the display module 400.

[0063] When the golf laser rangefinder telescope has buttons, the golfer can send a layer selection signal to the main video processing unit 110 via the buttons. The layer selection signal includes a second layer display signal and a second layer hide signal. Specifically, when the layer selection signal is a second layer display signal, the main video processing unit 110 sends the first and second layers to the display module 400, and the display module 400 displays the image after the first and second layers are superimposed. When the layer selection signal is a second layer hide signal, the main video processing unit 110 sends the first layer to the display module 400, and the display module 400 displays the first layer.

[0064] In this embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 is also used to receive a layer selection signal and send the first layer and / or the second layer to the display module 400 according to the layer selection signal, so as to display the image of the first layer, the second layer, or the image of the first layer and the second layer superimposed on the display module 400, which further improves the practicality of the golf laser rangefinder telescope.

[0065] In one embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 is further configured to receive a layer magnification signal, magnify the second layer according to the layer magnification signal and golf course map data, and send the magnified second layer to the display module 400 so that the first layer, the second layer and the magnified second layer can be overlaid and displayed by the display module 400.

[0066] The layer magnification signal includes a position selection signal and a magnification signal. First, the golfer can send both the position selection signal and the magnification signal to the main video processing unit 110 via buttons on the golf laser rangefinder. Upon receiving the magnification signal, the main video processing unit 110 enters layer magnification mode and, based on the position selection signal, locates and magnifies the area in the second layer that needs magnification. Then, the magnified second layer is sent to the display module 400. The display module 400 overlays the first layer, the second layer, and the magnified second layer.

[0067] In this embodiment, the main video processing unit 110 is also used to receive the layer magnification signal, and magnify the second layer according to the layer magnification signal and the golf course map data, and send the magnified second layer to the display module 400 so that the first layer, the second layer and the magnified second layer can be superimposed and displayed by the display module 400, so that golfers can more clearly and intuitively observe the terrain information, hole positions and other information displayed on the golf course map.

[0068] In one embodiment, the golf laser rangefinder also includes an angle measurement module, and the data processing module 100 and the display module 400 are both connected to the angle measurement module.

[0069] The angle measurement module is used to perform angle measurements, obtain angle data, and send the obtained angle data to the data processing module 100 and the display module 400. The angle data includes the vertical elevation angle and the horizontal azimuth angle of the golf laser rangefinder telescope. Further, the angle measurement module may include an angle switch unit and an angle measurement unit. The angle switch unit receives an angle measurement indication signal and, upon receiving the indication signal, sends an angle measurement trigger signal to the angle measurement unit. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the angle measurement unit performs angle measurements, obtains angle data, and sends the obtained angle data to the data processing module 100 and the display module 400.

[0070] The data processing module 100 updates the distance measurement information based on the angle data. Specifically, after receiving the distance measurement information and angle data, the data processing module 100 obtains more accurate distance measurement information according to a certain preset relationship, and sends the updated distance measurement information to the display module 400 for display. The display module 400 can display the updated distance measurement information and angle data. Furthermore, the data processing module 100 can also calculate a suggested landing point based on the angle data and distance measurement information, and send the suggested landing point to the display module 400 for display.

[0071] Additionally, when the laser ranging module 200 is used to measure the length of an object, the length of the object in the vertical or horizontal direction can be obtained from the distance data obtained by the laser ranging module 200 after laser ranging and the angle data obtained by the angle measurement module after angle measurement. The calculation formula is: 2 * tan(angle data / 2) * distance data = length of the object in the vertical or horizontal direction.

[0072] In this embodiment, the golf laser rangefinder also includes an angle measurement module. The angle measurement module performs angle measurements, obtains angle data, and sends the obtained angle data to the data processing module 100 and the display module 400. The data processing module 100 updates the range information based on the angle data, resulting in more accurate range information. The display module 400 displays the angle data and the updated range information, allowing golfers to intuitively obtain the range information and angle data, thus facilitating their shot selection strategy.

[0073] In one embodiment, the data processing module 100 is further configured to receive a mode selection signal and control the ranging mode of the laser ranging module 200 according to the mode selection signal.

[0074] The ranging modes include continuous measurement mode, golf trajectory compensation mode, flagstick scanning mode, rain / fog mode, and speed measurement mode. Golfers can send a mode selection signal to the data processing module 100 via buttons on the golf laser ranging telescope. The data processing module 100 controls the ranging mode of the laser ranging module 200 based on the mode selection signal.

[0075] In addition, the data processing module 100 can generate a mode display signal based on the mode selection signal and send the mode display signal to the display module 400. The display module 400 can display the ranging mode of the laser ranging module 200 in the form of icons based on the mode display signal, thus intuitively showing the golf laser ranging telescope the current ranging mode to the golfer.

[0076] In this embodiment, the data processing module 100 is also used to receive the mode selection signal and control the ranging mode of the laser ranging module 200 according to the mode selection signal, so as to meet the different usage needs of golfers and further improve the ease of use of the golf laser ranging telescope.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, based on the same technical concept, this application also provides a processing method for a golf laser rangefinder telescope, which includes steps 202, 204 and 206.

[0078] Step 202: Obtain the ranging information obtained by the golf laser rangefinder.

[0079] The distance measurement information can include measurement data and units of measurement. A golf laser rangefinder can be used to measure the distance to a hole and the height or length between any two points in space.

[0080] Step 204: Obtain the positioning information obtained by positioning the golf laser rangefinder telescope, and match the positioning information with the golf course map data to obtain the golf course geographic information data that matches the positioning information from the golf course map data.

[0081] The golf course map data includes maps of multiple golf courses. Each map can include course coordinates and terrain information. Specifically, after obtaining the location information, the map data matching the location information is retrieved from the map data of multiple golf courses. The course coordinates and terrain information included in this map data are then used as the golf course's geographic information data.

[0082] Step 206: After fusing the distance measurement information with the golf course geographic information data, display it on the golf laser rangefinder.

[0083] The eyepiece of the golf laser rangefinder can be a display screen. After the range measurement information is fused with the golf course geographic information data, it can be simultaneously displayed on the golf laser rangefinder's screen, providing golfers with a clear view of the range measurement and course geographic information data, allowing them to make informed shot strategies based on this information.

[0084] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, step 206 includes steps 302, 304 and 306.

[0085] Step 302: Based on the ranging information, generate a first layer containing the ranging information.

[0086] The distance measurement information includes measurement data and measurement units. The first layer includes measurement data displayed in text form and measurement units displayed in icon form.

[0087] Step 304: Generate the second layer based on the stadium geographic information data.

[0088] The second layer includes a golf course map. The golf course map displays information such as the location of each hole, the extent and location of various terrain features, the location of hazards, and the area and size of the greens.

[0089] Step 306: Overlay the first layer and the second layer and display them on the golf laser rangefinder.

[0090] Furthermore, the superimposed first and second layers can be overlaid with real-time video. The real-time video can be captured by a camera in the golf laser rangefinder.

[0091] In one embodiment, the processing method of the golf laser rangefinder telescope further includes step 402.

[0092] Step 402: Receive the layer selection signal, and send the first layer, the second layer, or the image of the first layer and the second layer superimposed on the golf laser rangefinder to the golf laser rangefinder according to the layer selection signal, and display it on the golf laser rangefinder.

[0093] The layer selection signal includes a second layer display signal and a second layer hide signal. Specifically, when the layer selection signal is a second layer display signal, the image of the first and second layers superimposed is sent to the golf laser rangefinder. When the layer selection signal is a second layer hide signal, the first layer is sent to the golf laser rangefinder.

[0094] In one embodiment, the processing method of the golf laser rangefinder telescope further includes step 502.

[0095] Step 502: Receive the layer magnification signal, magnify the second layer according to the layer magnification signal and the golf course map data, and send the magnified second layer to the display module 400 so that the first layer, the second layer and the magnified second layer can be overlaid and displayed through the display module 400.

[0096] In one embodiment, the processing method of the golf laser rangefinder telescope further includes step 602.

[0097] Step 602: Receive the mode selection signal and control the ranging mode of the laser ranging module 200 according to the mode selection signal.

[0098] To better understand the above-mentioned golf laser rangefinder and its processing method, a specific embodiment is provided below for illustration.

[0099] In one embodiment, a golf laser rangefinder telescope is provided, including a data processing module 100, and a laser rangefinder module 200, a GPS positioning module 300, and a display module 400 connected to the data processing module 100. Wherein, as... Figure 5As shown, the data processing module 100 includes a main video processing unit 110 and a co-processing unit 120 that are interconnected. Both the main video processing unit 110 and the co-processing unit 120 are connected to a GPS positioning module 300. The co-processing unit 120 is connected to a memory that stores course map data for multiple golf courses. The main video processing unit 110 is connected to a camera, a laser ranging module 200, an attitude sensor, buttons, and a memory card.

[0100] The main video processing unit 110 mainly receives real-time video captured by the camera, distance data obtained by laser ranging module 200 through laser ranging, and angle data obtained by angle measurement module through angle measurement. After processing these data, it outputs them to the eyepiece display screen to generate a first layer containing the image and distance of the measured object, as well as pitch angle information.

[0101] The coprocessor unit 120 receives GPS coordinate information, or the main video processing unit 110 receives GPS coordinate information and forwards it to the coprocessor unit 120. The coprocessor unit 120 obtains golf course map data matching the GPS coordinate information from the stored golf course map data, and sends the course coordinate information and terrain information from the course map data as golf course geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110. The main video processing unit 110 generates a second layer based on the golf course geographic information data. Then, it fuses the second layer with the real-time video data and distance measurement information of the first layer and sends it to the eyepiece display screen. The eyepiece display screen displays the image after the first layer and the second layer are superimposed and fused. Furthermore, the main video processing unit 110 can also provide a golf course map upgrade package to the coprocessor unit 120. The coprocessor unit 120 upgrades the stored golf course map according to the golf course map upgrade package.

[0102] Additionally, the main video processing unit 110 can receive button information and generate and send button control commands to the coprocessor unit 120. The button information may include layer selection signals. When the main video processing unit 110 receives a layer selection signal, it can generate and send corresponding layer selection control instructions to the coprocessor unit 120. The coprocessor unit 120 can then select whether to send stadium geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110 based on the layer selection signal. When the coprocessor unit 120 chooses not to send stadium geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110, the main video processing unit 110 will not generate a second layer and will send the second layer to the eyepiece display screen. When the coprocessor unit 120 chooses to send stadium geographic information data to the main video processing unit 110, the main video processing unit 110 can generate a second layer based on the stadium geographic information data, and then merge the first and second layers before sending them to the eyepiece display screen.

[0103] Furthermore, the main video processing unit 110 can also be connected to the co-processing unit 120 via a conversion chip. The conversion chip is used to perform format conversion of video data. For example, it converts the video data format from LVDS to MIPI to further improve the transmission quality of the video signal.

[0107] This golf laser rangefinder also features low-light night vision, making it convenient for use in dimly lit conditions, such as early morning and late evening.

[0108] In this embodiment, the golf laser rangefinder telescope utilizes layer overlay and fusion display technology. The main video processing unit 110 queries golf course map data and displays it individually or in fusion on the telescope's eyepiece display screen. This allows for the simultaneous measurement of hole distances and acquisition of information on terrain, greens, and obstacles. This enables golfers to formulate their next shot strategy without the need for additional equipment, significantly improving ease of use.
