Description
Smart golf ball and golf swing quality information provision system using the same
[0001] The present invention relates to a smart golf ball and a system for providing information on the quality of a golf swing using the same, and by obtaining putting quality information including the point of impact, speed, amount of rotation, amount of slip, trajectory, distance traveled, and separation angle of a golf ball during putting and providing it through a user terminal, the efficiency of putting practice can be maximized, and the present invention relates to a smart golf ball and a system for providing information on the quality of a golf swing using the same, which can more precisely correct a user's golf swing posture, particularly a golf putting posture.
[0002] In general, putting in golf refers to the action of hitting a golf ball with a putter on the green to put it into the hole. The golfer holds the putter grip for putting, positions the head of the putter on the golf ball, and then, considering the slope of the green, the direction of the hole, etc., sets the direction in which the golf ball will roll, and then hits the golf ball with the head so that the golf ball enters the hole provided on the green.
[0003] However, most amateur golfers lose points in putting because they are unable to putt accurately, and putting can reduce the number of strokes, so it is considered more important than driving.
[0004] For this reason, a significant amount of effort is allocated to putting practice in golf practice, and various assistive devices have been proposed to support putting practice more efficiently.
[0005] For example, Korean Patent No. 10-1644502 discloses a golf ball comprising: a sensor module located at the center of the golf ball, comprising a gyroscope sensor, an acceleration sensor, a power source, a transmission chip that receives signals from the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor and transmits them to a smartphone, and an electronic circuit; a cushioning material made of a silicone material that surrounds the sensor module; a capsule that surrounds the cushioning material and is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic; a core that surrounds the capsule and is made of soft carbonized cork; a mantle that surrounds the core and is made of a long-fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composite containing carbon fiber; a cover that surrounds the mantle and is made of soft urethane; and a wire that extends from the center outward and is connected to the transmission chip to smoothly transmit a signal from the transmission chip located at the center of the golf ball to a smartphone located outside the golf ball, and an antenna that is installed on the lower surface of the cover and is connected to the wire.
[0006] However, according to the above-mentioned prior art document, there was a problem in that the antenna was configured to be inserted into a cover corresponding to the outer shell of the golf ball, making it very vulnerable to external impact.
[0007] In addition, according to the above-mentioned prior art document, since the cushioning material and the capsule, and the capsule and the core are configured in a simple adhesive manner, when a force exceeding a certain level is applied to the ball, the adhesive force is reduced, and a gap is created between each component forming the golf ball. As a result, when the golf ball is hit, the direction of the golf ball is determined regardless of the golfer's swing posture due to the gap created inside, so there was a problem in that reliable data on the direction and force of the golf ball hit could not be provided.
[0008] Accordingly, the applicant of the present invention has applied for and received registration of a smart golf ball trajectory information providing system that can improve the efficiency of putting practice by generating movement trajectory information of a struck golf ball and providing it to a user terminal, as in Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2685033. However, since this also has multiple pressure sensors formed only on a certain surface, there was a problem that it was somewhat difficult to provide precise data on the movement trajectory information of the struck golf ball when the golf ball was not accurately struck at the part where the pressure sensor was located.
[0009] In order to solve such a problem, the present invention has been devised by the background technology described above, and it is possible to obtain putting quality information including the point of impact, speed, amount of rotation, amount of slip, trajectory, moving distance and separation angle of a golf ball during putting, and to provide the obtained putting quality information through a user terminal, thereby maximizing the efficiency of putting practice, and to provide a smart golf ball and a golf swing quality information providing system using the same that can more precisely correct the user's golf swing posture, especially the golf putting posture.
