The invention relates to a golf system that displays the landing position of a ball on the teeing ground of an indoor or outdoor practice range using a laser beam (which is also referred to as “a ball placement position at a corresponding location using a laser projection device, video projector, or holographic display device, by converting virtual ball landing point coordinates calculated based on the player’s shot result into actual playing space coordinates) and to the design and method of use thereof. The present invention provides a virtual-reality linked golf interface technology that specifies the position of a player's subsequent shot by synchronizing the results of a virtual golf simulation with the physical coordinates of an actual playing space.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the design of a ball position marking method for existing screen golf and hybrid golf games, and in particular, for shots, to a technology that allows a player to place their ball at a more accurate location and hit it by specifying the ball's position using a laser beam (hereinafter also referred to as a "light source including a three-dimensional holographic golf ball created using a laser beam") rather than the ball's position at an existing fixed, identical location (hereinafter also referred to as a "screen golf hitting bay"). Background Technology

[0003] The hybrid golf system according to Patent Publication No. 10-2002-0092266 and the existing hybrid golf usage method may be applied, or the generally disclosed hybrid golf system may be applied, but the difference is that after a screen golf tee shot, the green is implemented and the actual indoor and outdoor landing point of the tee shot ball is determined, and the actual laser beam equipment is mounted on the ceiling and the position of the ball (hereinafter also referred to as the “ball-shaped laser beam shape”) is verified by scanning with a laser beam to place the ball at the same point as the landing point of the ball on the screen golf obtained through Grid AI (hereinafter also referred to as the “computing-based coordinate calculation module”). The problem to be solved

[0005] The present invention is a method of indicating the position of a ball using a ceiling laser beam, deviating from the conventional uniform designated ball position and automatic ball distribution method of screen golf facilities. means of solving the problem

[0007] The present invention, for achieving the above objective, is a method in which, instead of the concept that both the tee shot and the second shot are performed by placing the ball on a designated mat in the teeing area, the landing point of the ball (hereinafter also referred to as the “hole-specific tee shot area”) is projected onto the landing point of the ball hit in the next shot area of ​​each hole using a laser beam within the player’s shot area, thereby realizing the location where the ball is to be hit.

[0009] In the present invention, the teeing area is represented as ② omission area, ③ putting area, ④ ball drop grid calculation area, and ⑤ ceiling laser beam scanning attachment / scanning area. Effects of the invention

[0011] As described above, according to the present invention, the ball position marking method enables a game method in which a player marks the ball position from the tee shot ball position of screen golf to the putting area of ​​hybrid golf where an actual green is prepared using a laser, or positions the ball himself with his own ball, thereby making the game more like a real game method. Brief explanation of the drawing

Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of the ball position at the landing point of a screen golf shot. Figure 8 is an overall process flowchart of a hybrid golf system linked with actual golf. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0014] The technical core of the present invention is the technology for realizing the invention, which actively designates a landing point so that the player places the ball in the designated location with their own ball.

[0016] In the present invention, the areas are represented as ① a teeing area, ② an omission area (hereinafter “second shot area”), ③ a putting area, ④ a ball drop grid calculation area, and ⑤ a ceiling beam scanning attachment / scanning area.

[0018] In the present invention, it is not a conventional screen golf teeing range in which only a tee shot area and a putting area are located in the same place, nor is it a second shot method that simply uses a ball position on a screen and a teeing range incline device corresponding thereto.

[0020] After the tee shot, move to the third second shot location or putting area, and project a beam onto a three-dimensional space for the second shot (the green and surrounding area in the case of a Par 3) that fits all types of terrain at the landing point (including hazards, rough, bunkers, or fairways and their slopes) within a constructed ball landing terrain identical in form to the ball landing point on the golf course displayed on the screen, or

[0022] Although not three-dimensional, the setup projects laser beams onto screen golf-style teeing areas or simple flat greens (artificial or natural), and by installing ceiling beams or projection equipment, it provides the enjoyment and momentum of a standard golf course flow, including the walking to the second shot location and the swinging motion that are the advantages of Golf Gain.

[0024] The present invention provides a golf game interface technology that improves the fixed hitting bay-based play structure of screen golf, enabling a player to move within the actual play space and perform subsequent shots.

[0026] This new hybrid golf game ball marking method can solve all the disadvantages of conventional golf courses (high costs, the need for vast land areas and development of the natural environment, pesticide damage to turf, use of caddies and electric carts, etc.) and can be considered a cornerstone technology for improving and developing new methods of golf play.

[0028] It is not just a simple addition of a second shot location Grid AI Using laser beam scanning, the wall screen is different from the conventional screen golf method Grid AIIt is a new method of ball marking that provides golfers with immersion and a sense of depth by projecting a 3D screen (screen) including the hitting area of ​​the laser beam through it.

[0030] It is a new concept of golf designed specifically to attract tourists to urban areas and island / mountainous regions lacking flat land, such as Ulleungdo. It is a new sport that improves upon the shortcomings of park golf (oversimplifying the game) as well as screen golf and standard golf course golf, and is named K-Golf; it can be described as a technology for constructing a compressed, actual golf course that includes a second shot area and a green.

[0032] Utilizing existing screen golf hitting bays and screens in urban screen golf buildings or simple buildings in island and national park areas, and separate technology of this patent application Grid AI It can be described as a new technology regarding a new method of implementing golf motion by using a laser beam to project scan lines and on-site images onto the floor of the second shot teeing area or the constructed green.

[0034] Specifically, the present invention relates to a golf play interface technology that synchronizes virtual ball landing point information calculated in a screen golf system with the physical coordinates of an actual play space and displays a ball placement position at the coordinate location using a light projection device, thereby enabling a player to perform a subsequent shot at that location.

[0036] The present invention is an optical interface technology that synchronizes and reproduces virtual ball landing point information calculated in a screen golf system in an actual playing space, characterized by displaying a virtual ball position through a laser, projector, or holographic projection device and allowing a player to place an actual ball at that position.

[0038] Simply put, this is a hybrid golf ball placement interface system technology that includes a golf ball synchronized placement method (hereinafter also referred to as “three-dimensional ball placement via hologram or ball placement via scan line”).

[0040] This is a new technology that differentiates itself from existing screen golf by providing a ball position synchronization display method and system that links the screen golf with the actual playing space, including displaying putting line and slope information on the green floor screen when necessary.
