Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sports equipment, specifically to Velcro accessories for golf gloves with distance measurement, positioning, and shot data recording. Background Technology

[0002] With the integration of wearable electronic technology and golf equipment, accurate distance measurement and data collection during the shot have become core technological requirements for intelligent golf devices. The development of related technologies in positioning modules, sensing elements, and data processing has provided technical support for the functional upgrade of sports scenarios.

[0003] Currently, distance measurement devices in golf are mostly stand-alone rangefinders (satellite navigation or laser type), while shot data acquisition relies on specialized sensing devices. While some smartwatches integrate basic distance measurement or data recording functions, these devices are either stand-alone devices or non-essential wearables, neither being integrated with the gloves required in golf. The core logic of existing technologies is as follows: the distance measuring device calculates and displays the distance through a positioning module, and the data acquisition device obtains motion parameters through sensing elements. Each device functions independently, lacking a unified integrated design and collaborative control mechanism.

[0004] Clearly, existing technologies have not achieved the integrated use of distance measurement and positioning functions with shot data acquisition functions on the golf glove, the optimal sports carrier. Furthermore, the lack of a unified core control and two-way data interaction mechanism results in fragmented functional modules, insufficient data correlation, and limited ease of use, failing to fully meet the technical requirements of golf for accurate distance measurement, targeted data acquisition, and functional synergy. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0045] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, details the Velcro accessory for a golf glove that includes distance measurement, positioning, and shot data recording.

[0046] Golf glove Velcro accessories with rangefinding, positioning, and shot data recording include:

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the operation button module is used to receive user operations and generate trigger signals;

[0048] Specifically, the operation button module has three operation buttons, SW1, SW2, and SW3. When the user triggers different button operations, corresponding trigger signals are generated:

[0049] Press and hold the SW1 button for 3 seconds to generate a Bluetooth pairing trigger signal, press and hold for 5 seconds to generate a power on / off trigger signal, and double-click the SW1 button to generate an opening recording trigger signal.

[0050] A short press of the SW2 key generates the previous hole switching trigger signal, and a short press of the SW3 key generates the next hole switching trigger signal.

[0051] All trigger signals are transmitted to the controller in real time. The controller parses the signal type and sends execution instructions to the corresponding components. The button trigger uses debouncing logic to avoid signal disorder caused by misoperation.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning unit is used to obtain the current position coordinates, retrieve the target hole coordinates, and calculate the actual distance between the two to generate a distance data signal;

[0053] Specifically, the positioning unit uses an ATGM336H chip. After the device is powered on, the positioning unit receives the start control signal from the controller and synchronously receives the clock signal provided by the clock unit to ensure timing synchronization.

[0054] First, the system obtains the user's current location coordinate signal through its own positioning module. Then, it retrieves the target hole coordinate signal pre-stored by the data transmission unit from the memory. The system then processes the two sets of coordinate signals through the built-in distance calculation logic to generate a distance data signal containing actual distance information, which is fed back to the controller in real time.

[0055] When the controller sends a hole switching signal, the system retrieves the new target hole coordinates and repeats the distance calculation process to update the distance data signal.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the sensor module is used to collect motion data, environmental data, and posture data during the user's shot to generate standard sensing signals.

[0057] Sensor module, including:

[0058] Magnetic sensors are used to collect posture data of the user during the swing and impact of the ball;

[0059] Specifically, the magnetic sensor uses the SPK0641HT4H chip. After receiving the acquisition start signal from the controller, the magnetic sensor starts working and captures the physical signal of the wrist posture deflection during the user's swing in real time, and converts it into an attitude sensing electrical signal.

[0060] During the swing, the system continuously outputs signals according to the sampling logic set by the controller until it receives a stop signal from the controller and then stops working. The generated attitude sensing electrical signal is then integrated with other sensor signals to form a standard sensing signal.

[0061] Barometric pressure sensor, used to collect atmospheric pressure data;

[0062] Specifically, the barometric pressure sensor uses a BMP581 chip. After the device is powered on, the barometric pressure sensor is in a low-power monitoring state, collecting physical signals of ambient atmospheric pressure in real time and converting them into barometric electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to the controller to correct altitude errors in distance measurement, and are also incorporated into the standard sensing signals as part of the environmental data.

[0063] When a sleep signal is received from the controller, it switches to ultra-low power mode and only briefly collects signals during the timed wake-up cycle.

[0064] An ambient light sensor is used to collect the intensity of natural light.

[0065] Specifically, the ambient light sensor uses the APDS-9306-065 chip. The ambient light sensor collects the physical signal of natural light intensity in real time and converts it into an electrical signal of light intensity, which is then continuously transmitted to the controller.

[0066] When the light intensity corresponding to the light electrical signal exceeds or falls below a set threshold, the controller is triggered to generate a brightness adjustment signal, which in turn controls the display module to adjust the display brightness to ensure that the distance value is clearly visible.

[0067] An inertial controller is used to collect motion data of the user during the swing and impact of the ball;

[0068] Specifically, the inertial controller uses the BMI270 chip. After receiving the acquisition start signal from the controller, the inertial controller starts the coordinated work of the accelerometer and gyroscope to capture the motion physical signals (velocity, acceleration, angular velocity) of the entire process of swing initiation, acceleration, impact, and follow-through, and converts them into motion sensing electrical signals. Through synchronous calibration with the magnetic sensor signal, the timing consistency of motion data and attitude data is ensured, which together constitute the core part of the standard sensing signal until the acquisition stop signal is received and the output stops.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the data transmission unit is used to communicate with an external terminal to receive course map data and hole sequence data transmitted by the external terminal, and to send shot record data to the external terminal.

[0070] Specifically, the data transmission unit uses the NRF5340 chip. After receiving the Bluetooth pairing signal from the controller, the data transmission unit starts the Bluetooth communication link and sends a pairing broadcast signal to establish a stable connection with the external terminal.

[0071] After a successful connection, the device receives the course map data signal (including hole coordinates) and hole sequence data signal transmitted from the external terminal, converts them into a format that the device can recognize, and then transmits them to the controller, where they are stored in the controller's instruction memory.

[0072] During the shot, the system receives a transmission preparation signal from the controller, caches the shot record data signal, and sends the cached shot record data signal to the external terminal when the connection with the external terminal is restored or the user triggers the upload command, thus completing the data interaction.

[0073] like Figure 5As shown, the memory is used to store standard sensor signals, course map data, and hole sequence data;

[0074] Specifically, the memory uses the MX25U51245GZ4I00 chip. After receiving the storage command from the controller, the memory initiates the data writing operation.

[0075] The course map data signal and hole sequence data signal transmitted from the data transmission unit are permanently stored;

[0076] The standard sensing signals generated by the sensor module are combined with the timestamp signal provided by the clock unit for time-sequential storage.

[0077] For the ball-hitting record data signal, it is first temporarily cached. After the data transmission unit confirms that the upload is successful, the user can choose to keep or delete it according to the settings.

[0078] When a read command is received from the controller, the corresponding data signal is retrieved according to the command and fed back to the controller. It supports both random and continuous read modes.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, the display module is used to display the distance value in the distance data signal.

[0080] The display module includes:

[0081] The driver is used to receive control signals from the controller in order to convert the distance value in the distance data signal into a three-digit form;

[0082] Specifically, the driver uses a TM1652 chip and continuously receives control signals from the controller, which include distance data signals generated by the positioning unit and brightness adjustment signals triggered by the ambient light sensor.

[0083] The driver first parses and converts the distance data signal into a display drive signal that is compatible with the three-digit LED display. Then, it adjusts the drive power according to the brightness adjustment signal to control the three-digit LED display to display the distance value at the corresponding brightness.

[0084] When the distance update signal is received from the controller, the display drive signal is refreshed in real time to ensure that the distance value is updated synchronously without display delay or ghosting.

[0085] A three-digit LED display is used to display the distance value in a three-digit distance data signal.

[0086] like Figure 7 As shown, the controller is used to send control signals to the positioning unit, sensor module, data transmission unit, memory and display module;

[0087] Specifically, the controller uses the MSP430FR2311IPW16R chip. As the core scheduling component, the controller receives the trigger signal from the operation button module, the raw sensing signal from the sensor module, the distance data signal from the positioning unit, and the clock signal from the clock unit in real time.

[0088] After parsing the trigger signal, precise control commands are sent to the corresponding components;

[0089] The original sensor signals are integrated, calibrated, and analyzed to generate standard sensor signals and ball-hitting record data signals, which are then stored in the synchronous instruction memory.

[0090] After verifying the distance data signal, the display module is instructed to display it.

[0091] like Figure 8 As shown, the clock unit is used to provide clock signals to the positioning unit, sensor module, data transmission unit, and memory;

[0092] Specifically, the clock unit uses the RV-8263-C8 chip. The clock unit automatically starts after the device is powered on, continuously generating a stable clock signal and transmitting it to the positioning unit, sensor module, data transmission unit and memory.

[0093] This clock signal provides a time reference for distance calculation by the positioning unit, a timing mark for data acquisition by the sensor module, a synchronization basis for signal interaction by the data transmission unit, and a timestamp for data storage in the memory.

[0094] When it receives the time synchronization signal from the controller, it automatically calibrates its own clock signal to ensure the accuracy of the time of the entire system.

[0095] like Figure 9 As shown, the power management unit is used to provide power to the operation button module, positioning unit, sensor module, data transmission unit, memory, display module and clock unit;

[0096] Specifically, the power management unit uses the nPM1300 chip. The power management unit receives the power supply signal from the battery patch and generates multiple power supply signals adapted to different components through built-in voltage conversion and regulation logic.

[0097] The system monitors the working status signals of each component in real time. When a component receives a sleep command from the controller, it automatically reduces the power supply of the corresponding component and switches to a low-power power supply mode.

[0098] When an overcurrent, overvoltage, or short-circuit signal is detected, a power-off protection signal is immediately triggered to cut off the corresponding power supply circuit and prevent component damage.

[0099] At the same time, it sends a power supply status signal back to the controller, so that the controller can monitor the power supply status in real time.

[0100] The battery patches are arranged in a shingled manner.

[0101] The operation button module, positioning unit, sensor module, data transmission unit, memory, controller, clock unit, power management unit and battery patch are all encapsulated in polyurethane, and the encapsulation forms a 2 mm coating.

[0102] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown, the golf glove Velcro accessory with distance measurement, positioning, and shot data recording is also equipped with a buzzer to receive prompts and emit corresponding prompts such as start of data collection, end of swing, and completion of data transmission.

[0103] Specifically, the buzzer only receives prompt command signals from the controller, which are generated by the controller according to different operating states:

[0104] When the controller detects that the user's position has not changed for more than 5 seconds and triggers the start of sensor data acquisition, it generates a collection start prompt signal, and the buzzer responds and emits a corresponding prompt tone.

[0105] When the swing is confirmed to be over, the controller generates a sampling stop prompt signal, and the buzzer emits a corresponding prompt tone;

[0106] When the data transmission unit confirms that the ball-hitting record data has been successfully uploaded to the external terminal, the controller generates a data transmission completion prompt signal, and the buzzer emits a corresponding prompt tone, realizing acoustic interaction between the operation status and the user.

[0107] When using the Velcro accessory for this golf glove with rangefinding and shot data recording:

[0108] Press and hold the SW1 button on the operation button module for 3 seconds to enter Bluetooth pairing mode. The buzzer will emit a short beep to indicate this. Refer to the connection method for Bluetooth keyboards without screens. Search for and connect to the device in the Bluetooth settings of external terminals such as mobile phones. After successful pairing, the buzzer will emit two short beeps to indicate this.

[0109] Open the companion application on the external terminal (mobile phone), select the target golf course and obtain the satellite information map of the course. After confirming the hole order, transmit the course map data (including the coordinates of each hole and the course boundary information) and hole order data to the device via Bluetooth. After the data transmission is completed, the buzzer will emit a long tone to indicate that the data is automatically stored in the memory.

[0110] Press and hold the SW1 button for 5 seconds to power on the device. The buzzer will emit a long beep to indicate that the positioning unit has started automatically and has acquired the current position coordinates. The controller retrieves the course map data and hole sequence data stored in the memory and calculates the actual distance between the current position and the initial target hole. When the distance is within the range of 0-999 yards, the three-digit LED display will start to display the distance value. The display updates every 3 seconds by default. The screen refresh rate can be set through the external terminal application.

[0111] After reaching the tee position, double-click the SW1 button to create a new record for this round. The buzzer will emit a short beep to indicate that the device has entered the standby state for ball data acquisition, and the sensor module will begin low-power monitoring.

[0112] When the device detects that the user's position has not changed for more than 5 seconds, it determines that the user is ready to swing. The buzzer emits a short beep to indicate this, and the sensor module starts high-sampling-rate acquisition (the sampling rate can be adjusted via an external terminal). It collects motion data, posture data, and environmental data in real time during the swing, generates standard sensor signals, and stores them in the memory. After the controller confirms that the swing is over, the buzzer emits two short beeps to indicate this, and the sensor module stops sampling, completing the recording of one shot data. This step can be repeated according to the number of shots, and the corresponding data is automatically recorded for each shot.

[0113] After a hole is scored, press the SW3 button (next hole switch button). The device will update the target hole to the next hole, the controller will recalculate and display the distance between the current position and the new target hole, and the buzzer will emit a short beep. If you need to return to the previous hole, press the SW2 button (previous hole switch button). The device will update the distance display and emit a short beep.

[0114] Once all target holes are completed, the course recording ends, and the device retains data in cache state. Reconnect the device to the external terminal via Bluetooth, open the accompanying application, and the device will automatically upload the stored course recording data (including the position, time, motion data, posture data, and environmental data of each shot) to the external terminal. After the data transmission is complete, the buzzer will emit a long beep to indicate that the data has been transmitted. After the upload is complete, press and hold the SW1 button for 5 seconds to power off the device. The buzzer will emit a long beep to indicate that the cached data has been automatically saved in memory to prevent data loss.

[0115] In summary, the golf glove Velcro accessory with distance measurement, positioning, and shot data recording disclosed in this invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0116] (1) The ranging and positioning function and the ball-hitting data acquisition function are integrated into the golf glove's movement carrier to solve the problem of scattered functional modules;

[0117] (2) By using the data transmission unit, two-way data interaction with external terminals can be realized, which can receive customized course maps and hole sequence data, and also upload shot record data;

[0118] (3) The positioning unit and display module are integrated to calculate and display the target distance in real time. Combined with the sensor module, the ball-hitting process data is collected in a targeted manner, which fully adapts to the technical requirements of golf and improves the accuracy of distance measurement and the targeted nature of data collection.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
