Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic score calculation method using a user's mobile terminal and a hybrid golf system using the same in a hybrid golf system that allows a user to move to an actual field and play an approach shot or putting on the actual field when a virtual ball lands on or around the green during virtual golf play using a virtual golf simulation device.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as the number of golfers has increased, so-called screen golf systems that allow golf practice using a virtual golf simulation system and enjoying a virtual golf round have emerged.

[0003] Such a screen golf system installs a screen that can project an image related to a virtual golf course indoors. When a user hits a golf ball towards the screen, it senses the speed and direction of the golf ball and displays the progress of the golf ball on the image on the screen. It has been repeatedly evolving technically in terms of providing a sense of presence that goes beyond the level of a simple indoor golf game and allows a user to play a golf round on a real golf course.

[0004] In a normal screen golf system, since the simulation image of the virtual golf course and the ball trajectory on the virtual golf course is only realized through a screen installed in front of where the user hits the ball, there is a limit in providing a sense of presence as if the user is actually playing a golf round on a real golf course.

[0005] To overcome the limitations of such a normal screen golf system and provide a reality where a user can play a golf round on an actual golf course, a so-called hybrid golf system has emerged that can be realized even in a space much smaller than an actual golf course.

[0006] The hybrid golf system combines an actual course where users can play real golf and a screen golf system where users can play virtual golf. A part of the golf play on a certain hole proceeds on a virtual golf course embodied by the screen golf system, and the remaining play can proceed by actually playing golf on the actual course.

[0007] For example, in the case of a PAR-4 hole, the tee shot and the second shot proceed through virtual golf simulation on a virtual golf course via the screen golf system, and the third shot and putting can proceed in the same way as when the user moves to the actual course and plays on the actual golf course.

[0008] However, in the part where the golf play proceeds through virtual golf simulation on a virtual golf course via the screen golf system, the number of strokes of each of the multiple users is automatically calculated, so each user does not have to worry about score calculation. However, once the field play starts, each user has to play on the field, so they have to calculate their own number of strokes and calculate the score in the same way as when playing a golf round on an actual golf course. Therefore, there is a problem that score calculation is troublesome and accurate calculation is difficult.

[0009] In relation to this, conventionally, each user holds a golf terminal interlocked with the screen golf system, and each time the user makes a stroke during field play, or inputs the number of strokes through the golf terminal depending on the number of strokes stored in the memory.

[0010] However, the method of having the user input the number of strokes during their field play through the golf terminal is not only troublesome but also still has the problem that accurate calculation is difficult, such as inputting incorrectly due to error or forgetting to input the score.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] A specific description of an automatic score calculation method using a user's mobile terminal in a hybrid golf system according to the present invention and a hybrid golf system using the same will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0024] First, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the configuration of a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0025] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the control system of the hybrid golf system shown in FIG. 1.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an actual field 200 provided so that a user can play actual golf, and a screen golf module 100 provided on one side of the actual field 200 and including a virtual golf simulation device that allows the user to play golf on a virtual golf course.

[0027] The above-described screen golf module 100 includes a configuration related to a normal screen golf system, that is, a virtual golf course image is projected onto a front screen, and when the user hits a ball from the hitting area 120 toward the screen, a sensing device senses this, and based on the sensing result, a simulation image in which a virtual ball moves on the above-described virtual golf course image is realized, so that the user can play virtual golf.

[0028] The screen golf module 100 can be provided in a box form or a booth form having an entrance / exit 110 on one side thereof, and can also be in a form in which all surfaces are closed or in a form in which a part is open.

[0029] The screen golf module 100 can be configured to include a screen 300 on a surface overlooking the actual field 200.

[0030] The screen 300 can project an image related to a virtual golf course output by a video output device 420 (such as a beam projector, etc.) provided inside the screen golf module 100 and a simulation video iVG played on the virtual golf course, and provide it to the user.

[0031] On the other hand, the actual field 200 can be embodied as a partial area of an entire hole of an actual golf course, and can be formed to include a green 210 and a hole cup 212 as shown in FIG. 1, and can be provided with peripheral areas 220 such as fairways, roughs, and bunkers around the green 210 so that the user can make approach shots and puttings.

[0032] A hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention enables a user to play a part of a golf game through a virtual golf course in the screen golf module 100, and the remaining golf game can be played on the actual field 200.

[0033] For example, when playing a golf game on a PAR-4 hole, the user plays a virtual golf game (a golf game performed in a manner in which the user hits a golf shot from a tee box towards the screen, and the sensing device senses the hit ball and simulates it) on the virtual golf course of the PAR-4 hole in the screen golf module 100, and the golf game on the remaining part of the PAR-4 hole is played by the user directly moving to the actual field 200 and playing on the actual field 200.

[0034] For example, the tee shot and the second shot of a PAR-4 hole are performed as a virtual golf game through the virtual golf course in the screen golf module 100, and the third shot (approach shot) and putting can be continued by the user moving from the screen golf module 100 to the actual field 200 and playing the golf game on the actual field 200.

[0035] The hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a mobile terminal owned by each user. Here, the mobile terminal is also a personal mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet owned by each user, and may also be a dedicated terminal separately provided to each user who uses the hybrid golf system. However, when the mobile terminal is the dedicated terminal described above, it is desirable that the terminal be capable of executing an application like a smartphone or a tablet, including components such as a GPS module and a camera.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, for any form of terminal, it is desirable that each user play golf while holding their own mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4). Each mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4) can be configured to wirelessly communicate with the control unit 401 through the communication unit 404 of the simulator 400.

[0037] It is desirable that each user's mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4) execute an application for using the hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention, log in, and be pre-configured for wireless communication with the communication unit 404 of the simulator.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the simulator 400 provided inside the screen golf module 100 includes a control unit 401, a video processing unit 402, and a data storage unit 403. The control unit (401) can be configured to have virtual golf simulation video embodied through the video processing unit 402 by receiving sensing data from the sensing device (410), and the control unit (401) can be configured to be able to exchange data while communicating with each user's mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4) through the communication unit 404.

[0039] The simulator (400) stores the information of the virtual golf play while progressing the virtual golf play by the user's virtual golf simulation, and when the field play is started, it transmits the virtual golf play information to each mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4) held by each user, and transmits the information about the ball location on the field, which is the position on the field corresponding to the ball position on the virtual golf course of each user, to each mobile terminal (M1, M2, M3, M4), so that the user can play on the field according to the guidance of each mobile terminal.

[0040] FIG. 3 shows that the user U plays virtual golf while viewing the video iVG projected on the screen 300 inside the screen golf module 100 shown in FIG. 1.

[0041] The sensing device 410 can be embodied as a camera-based device that senses the movement of at least one of the golf club and the ball by the user's golf swing. If the user U hits the golf ball placed on the golf mat 122 at the hitting station 120 within the angle of view of the camera by a golf shot, the camera captures and collects the video of the hit golf ball 1, and the sensing device performs image processing and analysis on the collected video to calculate the sensing information about the movement of the golf ball 1 and transmits it to the control unit 401.

[0042] An operating device (not shown) may be further provided as a means for the user to operate to set the virtual golf simulation environment or to operate for aiming adjustment during the virtual golf round process.

[0043] The data storage unit 403 stores all the data necessary for the video embodiment of the virtual golf simulation, stores data related to the virtual golf course that visualizes the actual golf course, data related to the terrain information of the virtual golf course, etc., and can provide data for embodying a virtual environment in which the user can play a virtual golf round on the virtual golf course selected by the user.

[0044] The data storage unit 403 can be configured to store all kinds of data related to the virtual golf course, or can be configured to temporarily store various data related to the virtual golf course transmitted from a server (not shown) through a network.

[0045] The video processing unit 402 performs information processing to embody a video related to the virtual golf course on the screen using the data related to the virtual golf course stored in the data storage unit 403, and performs information processing so that the trajectory of the golf ball hit by the user is embodied in a video simulated on the virtual golf course.

[0046] The video processed by the video processing unit 402 is output through a video output device 420 such as a projector and projected onto the screen 300 so that the user U can view the video iVG projected on the screen shutter 300.

[0047] The video processing unit 402 can be embodied as a modularized component that performs the video processing function with one independent device, or can be embodied as one independent device itself.

[0048] The control unit 401 is responsible for the control of all processes for virtual golf simulation, and performs various operations and controls to enable the sensing information for the golf ball moving according to the sensing result of the sensing device 410 and the simulation of the virtual ball moving on the virtual golf course based on the physics engine. Based on such various operations and controls, a video iVG in which the virtual ball is simulated by the sensing result of the sensing device and the physics engine is embodied on the virtual golf course.

[0049] The control unit 401 determines whether the requirements for the user to play on the actual field during the virtual golf play process using the virtual golf course are met. When the requirements for the field play are met, the user can be guided by video / audio through the screen video iVG to move to the field 200 and play on the field.

[0050] When multiple users play a golf round together, the above-described field play can be disclosed when the balls (virtual balls on the video) of all users are located within a preset range on the virtual golf course, for example, within a preset radius range based on the hole cup (the hole cup on the green of the virtual golf course).

[0051] Before the field play starts, that is, while the user progresses the virtual golf play through the simulator 400 in the screen golf module 100, the virtual golf play progresses through the video. Therefore, the control unit 401 can automatically calculate each score by the user making a golf shot on the virtual golf course. After the field play starts, since each user plays on the field, the control unit can calculate the score of each user through each user's mobile terminal.

[0052] As described above, when the field play starts, the control unit 401 of the simulator 400 can calculate the ball location on the field corresponding to the ball position of each user on the virtual golf course when the field play starts and transmit it to each user's mobile terminal. Each user's mobile terminal then guides the user who is next in the shot order to take a shot according to the shot order. The control unit of the simulator can recognize which user has received the shot guidance through communication with the corresponding mobile terminal and calculate the score of the corresponding user based on the data collected by the mobile terminal while communicating with the corresponding user's mobile terminal.

[0053] The control unit 401 can use the field 200 as a coordinate space and calculate the coordinate information of the ball points corresponding to the ball positions of each user described above on the coordinate space.

[0054] Here, the "ball position" means the position of the ball (the ball on the video) of each user on the virtual golf course, and the "ball point" means the position coordinates on the field 200 coordinate space corresponding to each of the above-mentioned ball positions.

[0055] As described above, when the field play starts, the control unit 401 of the simulator 400 transmits the start signal of the field play through the mobile terminals (M1, M2, M3, M4) of each user, and transmits various information in the virtual golf play process, that is, map information for the virtual golf course, ball position information of each user on the virtual golf course, score information, etc., so that field play through each mobile terminal becomes possible. The control unit of the simulator can receive data from each mobile terminal and calculate the score while sensing the shots of the users who hold each mobile terminal.

[0056] On the other hand, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, an automatic score calculation method using a user's mobile terminal in a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0057] FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the process related to the automatic score calculation method using a user's mobile terminal in a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the automatic score calculation method using a user's mobile terminal in a hybrid golf system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 4, first, in the screen golf module, a virtual golf course on which the user plays a golf round is selected using a virtual golf simulation device, and the golf round starts (S100).

[0059] An image of the virtual golf course selected as described above is projected onto the screen (S110), and the sensing device senses the hit golf ball as the user takes a golf shot towards the screen (S120).

[0060] The simulator uses the sensing result of the sensing device to embody a simulation video in which a virtual ball moves on the virtual golf course (S130).

[0061] If the virtual ball lands within a predetermined range around the green on the virtual golf course in the simulation video (S140), it is confirmed whether all users' balls have landed within the predetermined range around the green on the virtual golf course (S150). If all users' balls have landed within the predetermined range around the green on the virtual golf course, field play is started on the field following the play on the virtual golf course described above (S160).

[0062] When the field play is started as described above, the control unit of the simulator calculates the ball location, which is the location on the field corresponding to the ball position on each user's virtual golf course, and transmits each ball location information to each user's mobile terminal (S170).

[0063] The shot order of the users is determined by the distance from each user's ball location to the hole cup, and shot guidance is provided on the mobile terminal of the user who is next in the shot order according to the shot order. For example, if user 1 is next in the shot order, shot guidance such as "User 1, please take your shot!" can be provided on user 1's mobile terminal.

[0064] When the mobile terminal provides shot guidance, the corresponding mobile terminal is ready to sense whether the corresponding user takes a shot (S220), and a golf ball can be placed at the ball location of the corresponding user on the field (S230).

[0065] The placement of the golf ball at the ball location may be done, for example, by separate ball transportation means positioning the golf ball at the corresponding ball location upon receiving an instruction from the control unit, or it is also possible for the user to directly position the golf ball at the ball location according to the guidance of the mobile terminal.

[0066] As described above, when the user receives shot guidance through their own mobile terminal and a golf ball is placed at the ball location corresponding to the user on the field, the corresponding user can hit the golf ball placed at the corresponding ball location to take a shot. At this time, the built-in motion sensor of the mobile terminal held by the corresponding user generates a signal due to the user's operation, and the mobile terminal or the control unit can analyze the signal of the motion sensor to determine whether the user has taken a shot (S240). Hereinafter, analyzing the signal of the motion sensor to determine whether the user has taken a shot will be referred to as "shot detection".

[0067] Shot detection as described above may be performed by the mobile terminal itself, or the signal sensed by the motion sensor of the mobile terminal can be transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit can analyze the signal of the motion sensor to perform shot detection.

[0068] At this time, the golf ball may or may not be holed in by the user's shot.

[0069] The mobile terminal can use the motion sensor to sense the user's operation, but it cannot sense whether the golf ball shot by the user has been holed in.

[0070] As described above, if shot detection is performed through the mobile terminal, hole-out confirmation can be performed through the mobile terminal (S250).

[0071] That is, the mobile terminal can provide an interface for the user to confirm whether a hole-out is possible through the display. If the golf ball shot by the user is holed in, the corresponding user will have a hole-out. The corresponding user can perform a hole-out process at the corresponding hole by confirming the hole-out through the mobile terminal, and calculate the score of the corresponding user by adding the number of strokes in the virtual golf play and the number of strokes based on the shot sensing result (S262).

[0072] If the golf ball shot by the user is not holed in, the corresponding user must not have a hole-out and proceed to the next shot. Therefore, through the interface for confirming whether a hole-out is possible on the mobile terminal, the corresponding user can select that there is no hole-out.

[0073] In this case, after adding one stroke to the user, the control unit can wait until the next shot guidance is available (S272).

[0074] Once the shot process for the corresponding user is completed in this way, the process for the user who is next in the order of shots proceeds in the manner described above (S264).

[0075] In FIG. 6, the above-described process is shown in a schematic diagram. As shown in FIG. 6, the mobile terminal (M) held by user 1 (P) gives a shot guidance to user 1 (P) who is next to take a shot with a comment such as "User 1, please take a shot!", and thereby user 1 (P) can take a golf shot. At this time, the motion sensor of the mobile terminal (M) senses the motion of user 1 and obtains motion data, and can analyze this to sense whether user 1 has taken a shot.

[0076] After the mobile terminal (M) senses a shot, the mobile terminal (M) can provide a display asking user 1 for confirmation of whether to hole out. At this time, if the golf ball shot by user 1 goes into the hole, user 1 confirms the hole out, and thereby the score is calculated. If the golf ball shot by user 1 does not go into the hole, user 1 will continue to perform shot sensing without confirming the hole out.

[0077] If shot processing for all users is performed in the manner described above, the steps from S210 to S262 or S272 described above are carried out again for each of the users who have not holed out.

[0078] If all users hole out in such a manner, the scores of all users at the corresponding hole are calculated, and scores can be calculated for all holes in such a manner.

[0079] In the manner described above, one or more users calculate the number of strokes for each virtual golf play performed in the screen golf module, sense the shots of each user in the field play performed in the field through the mobile terminal of each user to calculate the number of strokes, and add them to the number of strokes by the virtual golf play, whereby the total score of all users can be automatically calculated.

Industrial Applicability

[0080] The automatic score calculation method using the user's mobile terminal in the hybrid golf system according to the present invention and the hybrid golf system using the same can be used in the golf-related industrial field and the so-called screen golf industrial field where golf play can be enjoyed based on virtual golf simulation.
