Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of billiards technology, specifically to an intelligent billiard cue, and more particularly to the technical field of combining sensor technology, wireless communication technology, data analysis and processing technology with billiard cue structural design. Background Technology
[0002] As a popular recreational and sporting activity, billiards is still dominated by traditional billiard cues in the market. There is a lack of intelligent devices that can comprehensively collect multi-dimensional data such as the force, angle, and speed of the shot and provide real-time feedback and analysis results. The shortcomings of existing technology have led to a lack of systematic and scientific billiards training, making it difficult to meet the advanced needs of professional players and enthusiasts.
[0003] In existing technologies, players can only control the quality of their shots based on subjective experience and muscle memory, lacking quantitative data support and real-time, accurate physical parameter acquisition. Players cannot systematically analyze their own technical movements and find it difficult to identify details such as improper posture, which seriously restricts training efficiency and technical improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to research an improved smart billiard cue and its related systems to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a more intelligent and precise billiards experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an intelligent billiard cue. This intelligent billiard cue can accurately detect the speed of the cue when hitting the ball, as well as the changes in the cue's posture during the return and strike processes. It can also be used as an angle measuring tool to measure the size of the angle, providing users with objective reference data to understand their actual situation and improve training efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent billiard cue, comprising: a cue body, a main controller, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a power management module, wherein the main controller, the inertial measurement unit (IMU), and the power management module are embedded as an intelligent entity inside the cue grip;
[0006] The main controller has a wireless transmission function, which is used to analyze the data collected by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) and transmit the analyzed data to the mobile terminal for display via a wireless transmission medium;
[0007] The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is used to collect the attitude changes of the cue stick;
[0008] The power management module is used to supply power to the system;
[0009] The main controller, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and power management module are integrated as an intelligent agent within the grip of the cue stick to collect and analyze changes in the cue stick's attitude.
[0010] Furthermore, the main controller has wireless transmission capabilities. Combined with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), it controls the device to perform corresponding functions. Internally, it records and analyzes the current attitude changes of the cue stick in real time. Through internal algorithms, it analyzes and calculates multi-dimensional data such as the force, angle, and speed of the shot, and transmits the analyzed data to a mobile terminal for display via Bluetooth.
[0011] Furthermore, the inertial measurement unit (IMU) can collect and analyze acceleration and gyroscope data, and transmit the data to the main controller. Combined with internal algorithms, it calculates the attitude changes of the cue stick, thereby obtaining multi-dimensional data such as the force, angle, and speed of the shot.
[0012] Furthermore, the main controller, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and power management module are embedded inside the cue grip as an intelligent agent to collect and analyze the cue's attitude changes.
[0013] The significant advantages of this invention are: the intelligent cue stick does not affect its use, but can collect and analyze the changes in the cue stick's posture during the shot in real time, and transmit the data to a mobile terminal for display via wireless transmission medium. This allows users to analyze their shot data and find ways to correct and train, thereby improving their billiards skills. Attached Figure Description
