Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of golf simulators, and in particular to a method and system for automatically enabling a tee in a virtual scene in a golf simulator, a computer device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Golf simulators generally need to model the initial placement state of the ball in the virtual course in order to correctly present the ball position height and the rule restrictions before hitting the ball, and to calculate and train statistics on parameters such as trajectory and rotation after hitting the ball. In the prior art, the ball position recognition in the hitting area relies on a single type of detection means (e.g., only based on the presence detection of a flat area or only based on the in-place signal of a ball lifting mechanism), or only on the software side according to the ball table scene to preset fixed ball position height and display rules.

[0003] Due to the lack of reliable judgment on the actual ground height and in-place state of the ball, and the failure of the physical detection results and the rule constraints such as the ball position type and the club selection in the virtual scene to form a consistent linkage, the system is prone to misjudging the ground ball as a tee ball or misjudging the tee ball as a ground ball in the case of ball placement deviation, accidental touch, incomplete in-place of the ball lifting mechanism, ground reflection and light change, etc., resulting in inconsistencies between the virtual ball position height and the physical ball position, mismatches between the virtual tee display and the real rules, and distorted judgments of the validity of the hitting data, etc., which further affects the authenticity of the hitting experience and the reliability of the training data, and increases the dependence on manual calibration and maintenance. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a method and system for automatically enabling a tee in a virtual scene in a golf simulator, a computer device, and a storage medium, to solve the technical problems of inconsistencies between the virtual ball position height and the physical ball position, mismatches between the virtual tee display and the real rules, and distorted judgments of the validity of the hitting data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0013] Reference Figure 1 , a flow chart of an embodiment of a determination method for automatically enabling a tee in a virtual scene in a golf simulator according to the present application is shown. The tee refers to a load-bearing structure for lifting a golf ball and can provide a configurable support height, which can be a physical tee device or a virtual tee model in a virtual scene for reflecting the lifting height of the ball; the virtual scene refers to a virtual golf course picture generated and displayed by a rendering engine, which can display whether the tee is allowed to be used and the display height of the tee based on the current ball position and club rules.

[0014] The determination method for automatically enabling a tee in a virtual scene in a golf simulator includes the following steps: Step S101, acquiring a region detection signal of a hitting area, a height detection signal and a to-position state signal of a ball lifting device.

[0015] In the present embodiment, the electronic device on which the determination method for automatically enabling a tee in a virtual scene in a golf simulator runs can send or receive data through wired connection or wireless connection. It should be noted that the above-mentioned wireless connection can include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, WiFi connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (ultra wideband) connection, and other now known or future developed wireless connection methods.

[0016] In this embodiment, the area detection signal is used to characterize whether the target ball is placed within a preset placement area of ​​the hitting zone. For example, an infrared sensor array can be used to scan the hitting zone. When the ball enters the preset range and continuously blocks the infrared light path, an area detection signal is generated. The height detection signal is used to characterize the distance from the bottom of the ball to the ground. For example, a laser rangefinder can be used to continuously measure the distance from the bottom of the ball to a ground reference surface. The ground reference surface can be defined by the surface of the hitting pad or a reference plane consistent with the ball stand base. The positioning status signal is used to characterize whether the ball feeding device has completed the ball feeding and stabilized the ball in place. For example, after the ball feeding device completes the ball feeding, a pressure / gravity sensor can detect the change in the pressure on the ball stand and combine it with the blocking status to form a status indication that the ball is in place. It should be noted that the above acquisition method is not limited to a specific hardware form. The core is to obtain three types of signals reflecting the ball position, the height above the ground, and the ball feeding and positioning status from the hitting zone, providing an objective basis for subsequent judgment.

[0017] Step S102: Based on the area detection signal, height detection signal, and positioning status signal, determine that the target sphere is in the ready state of the sphere rack.

[0018] In this embodiment, the ready state of the ball rack refers to the set of physical conditions that the target ball meets for the ball rack to be activated. This includes at least the ball being located in a preset placement area, the ball's height above the ground being within a reasonable range of the ball rack's support height and having stability, and the ball loading device confirming that the ball has been successfully delivered and is in place. For example, the area detection signal can detect a 30cm×30cm placement area using an infrared array, and use a blocking duration of more than 300ms as a criterion for stable entry into the area to avoid misjudgments caused by the ball quickly passing by or accidentally touching it. The height detection signal can use a stable ball bottom height above the ground of 25-80mm as the ball rack height range, and require the height fluctuation to be less than 3mm to exclude measurement fluctuations caused by ball rolling, shaking, or ground reflection. The positioning signal can be obtained after the ball loading device delivers the ball, by detecting a change in the ball rack's bearing pressure ΔF exceeding 5g and the corresponding infrared blocking state being established, thereby confirming that the ball has indeed been pressed onto the ball rack's bearing position and is in place. By combining the three aspects of area, height above ground, and positioning status for determination, the "ground ball" and the "ball rack ball" can be distinguished, and the probability of misjudgment by a single sensor in the case of changes in lighting, accidental touch, or incomplete ball delivery can be reduced, thus providing a repeatable and verifiable basis for determining the ball rack's ready state.

[0019] Step S103: Obtain the ball position type and the cue type selected by the user in the virtual scene, and determine the cue rack activation conditions and target cue rack height parameters accordingly.

[0020] In this embodiment, the ball position type is used to characterize the ball's location environment under the current virtual golf course rules. For example, it can be categorized as a tee box, fairway, rough, or green, etc. Different ball positions have different rules for using the tee box. The club type selected by the user characterizes the type of club used for the current shot, such as a driver, fairway wood, iron, or wedge, etc. Different clubs have different requirements for tee box height under real rules and training modes. Determining the tee box activation conditions based on the ball position type and club type means introducing rule constraints into the decision chain on the software side. For example, when the virtual scene is a tee box... The virtual golf cart rack can be enabled when the user selects a driver or fairway wood, but not when the virtual scene is a fairway or green, or when the user selects a club unsuitable for using a rack. When the enabling conditions are met, a target rack height parameter must be provided. This parameter indicates the support height the virtual rack model should present. For example, a pre-defined mapping relationship between club type and rack height can be established: a higher rack height corresponds to the driver, while other clubs correspond to a lower height or no rack enabled. The height parameter and whether the rack is enabled can be adjusted based on the ball position type. By combining virtual scene rule parameters with physical readiness criteria, the activation of the virtual rack no longer relies solely on a fixed scene template or a single hardware signal, but can simultaneously satisfy the dual constraints of correct physical placement and rule-permitted use.

[0021] Step S104: When the target sphere is in the ready state of the ball rack and the ball rack activation condition is met, a virtual ball rack model with the height parameter of the target ball rack is generated at the corresponding position of the target sphere.

[0022] In this embodiment, the target ball's corresponding position refers to the position in the virtual scene that matches the actual position of the ball within the physical hitting area, which can be obtained by mapping the positioning results of the sensor array in the hitting area to the virtual coordinate system; generating a virtual ball rack model refers to creating and rendering a three-dimensional model or equivalent visual representation of the ball rack in the virtual scene, so that the user sees a supporting state consistent with the real ball position on the screen; having the target ball rack height parameter means that the display height, support height, or relative height of the virtual ball rack model to the ground reference is determined by the target ball rack height parameter, so that the initial height of the virtual ball is consistent with the real ball rack supporting height. For example, in a tee box scenario, a user selects a driver to prepare for a tee shot. After the ball is delivered by the ball-loading device, the infrared array determines that the ball is stably located within the placement area, and the laser rangefinder determines that the height of the ball's bottom from the ground is stably within the rack height range and the fluctuation meets the threshold. At the same time, the positioning status signal confirms that the ball has been pressed onto the rack support and is in place. The virtual scene reads that the ball position type is a tee box and the club is a driver, determines that the rack can be enabled, and selects the corresponding target rack height parameter. Then, a virtual rack model of that height is rendered at the corresponding position of the ball, so that the ball position height in the virtual screen is consistent with the physical hitting area. Conversely, when the virtual scene is a fairway or the user selects an iron, even if the ball is physically placed at a certain height, the system can choose not to generate a virtual rack model or select a different height parameter based on the rack enabling conditions, thereby avoiding inconsistencies between the virtual ball position and the rules.

[0023] This application combines the area detection signal, height detection signal, and ball placement device positioning status signal of the hitting area to determine the ready state of the rack. Furthermore, it introduces the ball position type and club type of the virtual scene to determine the rack activation conditions and target rack height parameters. This ensures that the generation of the virtual rack satisfies both physical placement correctness and virtual rule consistency, thereby reducing virtual display anomalies caused by ball position misjudgment and improving the consistency between virtual and real and the reliability of training / statistical data.

[0024] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the step of determining that the target sphere is in the ready state based on the area detection signal, height detection signal, and positioning status signal includes: The preset placement area of ​​the hitting zone is scanned by an infrared sensor array; When the target sphere enters the preset placement area and the occlusion state is continuously maintained at a duration not less than a threshold, a valid area result is output, and the valid area result is used to form the ready state of the sphere rack.

[0025] In this embodiment, the core functionality lies in continuously scanning the preset placement area of ​​the hitting zone using an infrared sensor array to obtain information reflecting whether the target ball has entered the area and thus achieving an obstruction state. The preset placement area can be understood as the target ball placement range defined near the hitting mat or rack. The infrared sensor array forms an optical path through multiple sets of transmitters and receivers. When the ball enters the range, it partially obstructs the optical path and generates an obstruction signal. A duration threshold is set, meaning that a valid result for the area is only output when the obstruction state is continuously maintained at this threshold. This avoids momentary false triggers caused by the ball passing by, brief hand obstruction, or slight contact. For example, if the duration threshold is set to approximately 300ms, the system only confirms that the ball has been placed in the correct area after the ball has remained stably within the area and continuously obstructed for more than this time, and considers this valid result as one of the necessary conditions for the rack to be ready.

[0026] This application uses an infrared sensor array to scan a preset placement area and introduces a duration threshold for the occlusion state. This can filter out short-term interferences such as momentary occlusion and accidental touch, and reliably confirm that the ball has entered and stayed in the effective placement area. This improves the anti-interference ability and repeatability of area determination, and provides a reliable basis for the ball rack to be ready.

[0027] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after the step of outputting a valid result for the region when the target sphere enters the preset placement area and the occlusion state is continuously maintained at a duration not less than a threshold value, the method further includes: The height of the bottom of the target sphere above the ground is continuously sampled by a laser rangefinder, and the height fluctuation is obtained based on the difference between adjacent sample values. When the height of the ball bottom above the ground falls within the preset ball rack height range and the height fluctuation does not exceed the fluctuation threshold, a valid height result is output. The valid height result is used to form the ready state of the ball rack.

[0028] In this embodiment, the system distinguishes between "located within the area" and "at the ball rack support height." The ball's bottom height from the ground can be understood as the distance from the lowest point of the ball to the ground reference plane, which can be the surface of the hitting pad or a horizontal reference plane calibrated by the equipment. To improve anti-interference capability, the height fluctuation is obtained by differentiating adjacent sampled values. This means using the variation amplitude of continuous measurements to characterize whether the ball is stable and whether the ranging signal is affected by reflections, jitter, etc. When the ball's bottom height falls within the preset ball rack height range and the height fluctuation does not exceed the fluctuation threshold, a valid height result is output and used to establish the ball rack ready state. For example, the ball rack height range can be set to 25-80mm, and the fluctuation threshold can be set to 3mm to distinguish between placing the ball directly on the ground (height close to 0) and placing it on the ball rack (height significantly greater than 0), while also eliminating false heights caused by ball rolling or ranging noise.

[0029] This application introduces continuous sampling of laser ranging and uses the difference between adjacent sampling values ​​to obtain the height fluctuation. While determining that the height of the ball bottom above the ground falls within the height range of the ball stand, it also constrains stability. This can effectively distinguish between balls placed on the ground and balls placed on the ball stand, and suppress the ranging fluctuation caused by factors such as ground reflection and ball rolling. This significantly reduces the risk of misjudging balls on the ball stand and balls on the ground that is difficult to distinguish based on planar area detection alone.

[0030] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the step of determining that the target sphere is in the ready state based on the area detection signal, height detection signal, and positioning status signal further includes: After the ball feeding device completes the ball feeding, when the change in the bearing pressure of the ball frame is not less than the pressure change threshold and the infrared sensor is blocked, the output ball positioning result is valid. The ball rack is generated in a ready state only when the area validity result, height validity result, and ball placement validity result are all valid within a consistent time window.

[0031] In this embodiment, a valid ball positioning result is output when the change in bearing pressure on the ball rack is not less than the pressure change threshold and the infrared sensor is blocked. The change in bearing pressure can be obtained by detecting changes in force on the ball rack using a gravity / pressure sensor, confirming that the ball is indeed pressing against the bearing position of the ball rack. Simultaneously, the requirement that the infrared sensor be blocked serves as a second verification that the ball is still within the placement area, thus forming a double insurance on the hardware side. Furthermore, this provision only generates a ball rack ready state when the valid area result, the valid height result, and the valid ball positioning result are all valid within a consistency time window. The consistency time window can be understood as a window for time alignment, for example, within a range of several hundred milliseconds to several seconds, ensuring that the three types of results correspond to the same ball placement / delivery event, rather than miscombining results from different times. This reduces misjudgments in situations such as detecting the area and height first, then the ball being moved subsequently, or the ball delivery not being completed but the height accidentally falling into the range.

[0032] This application requires three types of valid results to be established simultaneously within the same event time range through a consistency time window, thereby achieving dual confirmation of the completion of ball delivery by the ball loading device and the actual bearing and positioning of the ball. This reduces false triggering caused by incomplete ball delivery, incomplete ball compaction, or time-spanning signal combinations, and improves the certainty and safety of the ball rack readiness status determination.

[0033] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in the step of generating a virtual polo rack model with the target polo rack height parameter at the corresponding position of the target sphere when the target sphere is in a polo rack ready state and the polo rack activation condition is met, the steps for determining the polo rack activation condition and the target polo rack height parameter include: The ball position type is mapped to the ball position permission result, and the club type is mapped to the club permission result, respectively. When both the ball position permission result and the club permission result are satisfied, it is determined that the rack activation condition is met. When the conditions for activating the rack are met, the target rack height parameter is determined from a preset height mapping table based on the type of cue. If the deviation between the measured height of the target ball's bottom from the ground and the target rack height parameter exceeds a tolerance threshold, the target rack height parameter is corrected so that the deviation does not exceed the tolerance threshold.

[0034] In this embodiment, the ball position type is first mapped to a ball position permission result, and the club type is mapped to a club permission result. When both conditions are met simultaneously, the tee activation condition is determined. This is equivalent to solidifying real golf rules or training mode rules into calculable permission judgments. For example, permission is true when a driver / fairway wood is selected on a tee ball position, and false when a club that should not be used on a tee ball position is selected on a fairway or green position. Subsequently, when the activation condition is met, the target tee height parameter is determined from a preset height mapping table based on the club type. The preset height mapping table can be a correspondence between club type and tee height, for example, a driver corresponds to a higher height, and a fairway wood corresponds to a medium height. This embodiment also introduces a tolerance threshold and height correction. When the deviation between the measured height of the target ball's sole from the ground and the target tee height parameter exceeds the tolerance threshold, the target tee height parameter is corrected so that the deviation does not exceed the tolerance threshold. This ensures that the virtual tee model displays a height that closely matches the actual ball placement height, avoiding inconsistencies between the virtual display and the physical height due to equipment installation errors, differences in ground materials, or mechanical errors of the tee. For example, if the preset height is 40mm, but the actual measured height of the ball bottom is 42mm and exceeds the allowable tolerance, the target ball frame height parameter will be corrected to a range close to 42mm to achieve consistency between the virtual and real heights.

[0035] This application maps ball position type and club type to permitted results respectively, and activates the rack when both are satisfied. At the same time, it uses a preset height mapping table to determine the target rack height parameters and performs tolerance constraints and height corrections based on the measured ball bottom height. This makes the rack activation logic match the real golf rules and training mode, and makes the virtual rack display height automatically match the actual ball placement height, reducing the inconsistency between virtual and real heights caused by human settings and equipment errors.

[0036] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after the steps of obtaining the ball position type and the user-selected cue type in the virtual scene, and determining the rack activation conditions and target rack height parameters accordingly, the method further includes: The virtual scene receives a status data packet containing the valid results of the area, the valid results of the height, and the valid results of the ball's position via a communication interface, and the status data packet is appended with a time identifier; The virtual scene selects the latest status data packet with the latest time identifier, and uses the valid area result, valid height result, and valid ball position result in the status data packet to perform the judgment of the ball rack activation condition; When the ball rack is ready and the ball rack activation condition is met, a virtual ball rack model is generated and displayed at the position corresponding to the physical ball position, and the display height of the virtual ball rack model is the target ball rack height parameter.

[0037] In this embodiment, the virtual scene receives a status data packet containing valid area results, valid height results, and valid ball positioning results via a communication interface, and adds a time stamp to the status data packet. The time stamp can be a timestamp or an incrementing sequence number, used to represent the order of the data packets. The virtual scene selects the status data packet with the latest time stamp and uses the three types of valid results to determine the rack activation conditions, thereby ensuring that the judgment results involved are from the same time or the same event. Subsequently, when the rack is ready and the rack activation conditions are met, a virtual rack model is generated and displayed at the position corresponding to the physical ball position, and the display height of the virtual rack model is the target rack height parameter. The position corresponding to the physical ball position can be obtained by mapping the positioning results of the hitting area to the virtual coordinate system, for example, by determining the plane coordinates of the virtual ball by the trigger area of ​​the infrared array or a preset mapping relationship, so that the virtual rack display position is consistent with the real ball position, and the height consistency is ensured by the target rack height parameter.

[0038] This application uses a status data packet carrying a time identifier and selects the data packet with the latest time identifier to participate in the sphere rack activation judgment. This ensures that the virtual scene side uses the latest judgment result aggregated at the same time, avoiding the misuse of old data caused by network latency, cache retention, or asynchronous updates. This improves the real-time consistency and stability between hardware judgment and virtual rendering, and reduces display lag / misalignment experience issues.

[0039] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, before the step of generating a virtual polo rack model with the target polo rack height parameter at the corresponding position of the target sphere when the target sphere is in a polo rack ready state and the polo rack activation condition is met, the method further includes: Environmental data is collected and environmental status is formed according to a preset operating cycle. The environmental data includes at least temperature, light intensity and ground material. The duration threshold, ball stand height range, fluctuation threshold, and pressure change threshold are updated based on the environmental conditions, and the updated thresholds are used to determine the ball stand ready state.

[0040] In this embodiment, environmental data is collected according to a preset operating cycle to form an environmental state. The environmental data includes at least temperature, illumination, and ground material. Temperature and illumination affect the output stability of the infrared sensor and laser ranging, while ground material (e.g., carpet, wood, plastic) affects reflectivity and ranging noise. Based on the updated environmental state duration threshold, the ball stand height range, fluctuation threshold, and pressure change threshold, the updated thresholds are used to determine the ball stand's ready state, enabling the system to maintain stable triggering and judgment boundaries under different light intensities, different reflectivity conditions, or different load characteristics. In a reference example, the system can be set to trigger self-calibration every 24 hours of operation, statistically analyze the recent false trigger rate or ranging fluctuation distribution, and fine-tune the fluctuation threshold and duration threshold accordingly, thereby reducing the frequency of manual recalibration and maintaining a high judgment accuracy.

[0041] This application collects environmental data such as temperature, light intensity, and ground material according to the operating cycle and dynamically updates the regional stability threshold, height range, fluctuation threshold, and pressure change threshold. This enables the system to adapt to sensor drift and noise changes under different lighting and reflection conditions, as well as different ground bearing and friction characteristics. As a result, it maintains a high judgment accuracy during long-term operation and multi-site deployment, and reduces manual calibration and maintenance costs.
