Solution Overview

Problem

Existing golf swing area reservation systems face challenges in online synchronization, leading to difficulties in making reservations due to crowded shops, weather conditions, and time zones, and require manual login entry, which is inconvenient for users, especially non-members.

Innovation Solution

A golf swing area login method and system that enables online reservations through a golf service server and golf simulation device, automating the swing area allocation and login process, and providing personalized missions and rewards based on collected swing data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual login entry is required at swing area, then user authentication can be performed, but convenience deteriorates especially for non-members

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser authenticationVSAvoidlogin convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic login by utilizing reservation information already stored in the database. When a user arrives at the swing area, the golf simulation device automatically retrieves reservation data and performs login without requiring manual intervention, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user effort for authentication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Login information is prepared in advance during the online reservation process. The reservation data including user identification is stored in the database before the user arrives at the swing area, so that authentication can be automatically performed without requiring manual entry at the time of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If offline reservation methods are used, then reservations can be made, but productivity deteriorates due to waiting in line and inability to reserve during crowded periods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereservation capabilityVSAvoidreservation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical offline reservation process (visiting the shop in person, waiting in line, phone calls) with an automated online reservation system. Users can make reservations through a terminal device connected to the database, eliminating the need for physical presence and manual processing, thereby dramatically improving reservation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a database and communication interface as intermediaries between users and the swing area management. The database stores reservation information and the communication interface transmits data between user terminals and the golf simulation device, enabling automated online reservations without direct human intervention at the shop

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If no notification service is provided, then system complexity is reduced, but information reliability deteriorates as reservations are often confused or forgotten

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidreservation information reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides automatic notification to users about their reservation status and swing area allocation. The communication interface sends reservation confirmation and login information to the user terminal, creating a feedback loop that ensures users are informed of their reservations without requiring them to remember or track them manually

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Proposed herein are a golf swing area login method and system. The golf swing area login method includes performing, by a golf service server, a process for a swing area reservation and user authentication, and performing, by a golf simulation device, a swing area login process when the golf service server completes the swing area reservation and the user authentication.
