A hybrid golf system and an automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit that controls the same.

Abstract

The present invention is for solving the problems of the conventional technology as described above, and is a hybrid golf system. In the hybrid golf system, a score is automatically calculated by playing on a virtual golf course using a screen golf system, and then when playing on an actual field, the score is also automatically calculated by using a camera sensing system installed around the field, so as to provide a hybrid golf system capable of automatically calculating the score for the entire golf play and an automatic score calculation method for a control unit that controls the same.

Claims

1. An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit that controls a hybrid golf system comprising a field provided for multiple users to play actual golf, and a screen golf module provided on one side of the field to enable golf play on a virtual golf course, is as follows: The control unit performs the following steps: calculates the number of virtual golf strokes for each user during golf play on the virtual golf course using the screen golf module; To ensure that field play follows golf play on the virtual golf course, the control unit includes the step of identifying a ball location, which is the position on the field corresponding to the ball position of each user on the virtual golf course, The control unit, through a camera sensing system comprising a number of cameras provided to sense the field, detects each user's shot. The control unit calculates the score of each user by adding the number of field shots, which is determined by sensing each user's shot through the camera sensing system, to the virtual number of golf strokes calculated for each user. An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit that controls a hybrid golf system including a hybrid golf system.

2. The step of detecting each user's shot is as follows: The control unit recognizes the position of each user's ball on the field and the user, and detects a shot made by each user at each of the ball locations. The control unit senses the movement of the golf balls shot at each of the ball locations through the camera sensing system, An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit controlling the hybrid golf system according to claim 1, the control unit comprising the steps of recognizing the next position to which the ball has been moved at each of the ball locations and recognizing a hole-in.

3. At the stage of sensing each user's shot, if the control unit senses through the camera sensing system that the golf ball has moved from the ball location and senses that the golf ball has gone in, The step of calculating the score for each user is as follows: An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit that controls the hybrid golf system according to claim 1, the control unit calculates a score by adding one stroke to the virtual number of golf strokes taken by the user at the ball location, and performs a hole-out process for the user.

4. At the stage of sensing each user's shot, if the control unit senses through the camera sensing system that the golf ball has moved from the ball location and that the golf ball has not gone in, The step of calculating the score for each user is as follows: An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit controlling the hybrid golf system according to claim 1, the control unit comprising the steps of adding one stroke to the virtual number of golf strokes taken by the user at the ball location and saving the position coordinate information of the moved golf ball.

5. The step of detecting each user's shot is as follows: The control unit, The position of each user's ball on the field and the user in question are recognized, and the shot order at each ball location is recognized. The steps include setting a predetermined shot sensing area, including the ball location, on the video footage acquired by the camera sensing system, where the camera senses the ball location of the user whose turn it is to shoot according to the shot sequence; An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit controlling the hybrid golf system according to claim 1, the method comprising the step of detecting a shot by the user by extracting and analyzing the set shot detection area from the image continuously acquired by the camera.

6. The control unit, The position of each user's ball on the field and the user in question are recognized, and the shot order at each ball location is recognized. An automatic score calculation method performed by a control unit that controls the hybrid golf system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, further comprising the step of transmitting shot information to the mobile terminal of the user whose turn it is to take a shot according to the aforementioned shot order, and informing the user via the mobile terminal that it is their turn to take a shot.

7. A screen golf module is provided on one side of a field where users can actually play golf, and is designed to allow users to play golf on a virtual golf course. The aforementioned screen golf module includes a simulator that displays a virtual golf course and a virtual golf simulation video of the user's golf play, A camera sensing system comprising a number of cameras arranged to sense the aforementioned field, The screen golf module calculates the number of virtual golf strokes taken by the user during golf play on the virtual golf course, and as field play progresses, the camera sensing system detects each user's shot at the ball location on the field, which corresponds to the position of each user's ball on the virtual golf course, thereby adding the number of shots taken by each user during field play to the number of virtual golf strokes to calculate each user's score. A hybrid golf system including...

8. The control unit, The position of each user's ball on the field and the user in question are recognized, and the shot order at each ball location is recognized. The hybrid golf system according to claim 7, wherein a preset shot detection area of ​​a predetermined size including the ball location is set on the video footage acquired by a camera that senses the ball location of a user whose turn it is to take a shot according to the aforementioned shot sequence, and the system is configured to detect the shot of the user by extracting and analyzing the preset shot detection area from the video footage continuously acquired by the camera.
