Golf Swing Capture Using User Smart Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf simulation systems face challenges in capturing high-quality golf swing images due to the use of low-quality cameras, and they do not adequately protect golfer privacy, as images are often stored centrally.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize smart devices for golfers to photograph and store their own golf swings, determining the appropriate user device based on the scenario and controlling the photographing module to capture high-quality images, ensuring privacy through local storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If low-quality cameras (web cams or CCTV cameras) are used for economic reasons, then system cost is reduced, but image quality deteriorates making it difficult to examine and analyze golfer's swing posture in detail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses user's existing smart device cameras to capture golf swing images instead of installing dedicated photographing modules. The system copies the photographing function from the user's personal high-quality camera to the golf simulation system, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated cameras while maintaining high image quality for swing analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the user's smart device serve multiple functions: it acts as both the photographing module for capturing swing images and the processing/display device for analyzing the swing. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated photographing equipment, reducing system cost while maintaining high image quality
2Device complexity
If centralized image storage is implemented, then system control is simplified, but golfer privacy is compromised as images are stored on external servers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the user's smart device to store and process golf swing images independently without requiring centralized server storage. The device serves itself by capturing, storing, and analyzing images locally, which simplifies the system architecture while simultaneously protecting user privacy by eliminating the need for external image storage
