Problem

Existing screen golf systems struggle to help users improve their golf shots by providing feedback on physical limitations and posture issues, leading to inefficient attempts to increase driving distance without addressing underlying problems.

Innovation Solution

A virtual golf simulation device and method that simulate a first movement trajectory based on shot data and an additional second trajectory influenced by factors like shot data and environmental conditions, providing feedback to enhance user performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a screen golf system calculates driving distance based only on actual shot data, then the system is simple to operate, but users cannot identify their physical limitations or improve their shots efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback on physical limitationsVSAvoidsimulation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary simulation of ideal ball trajectories based on environmental factors (wind, temperature, humidity, elevation) before comparing with actual shot results. This preliminary action allows the system to identify gaps between potential and actual performance, providing users with actionable feedback on their physical limitations without requiring complex additional hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that compares actual shot data with simulated ideal trajectories, then provides users with specific feedback on their posture problems and physical limitations. This feedback loop enables users to understand what they are doing wrong and how to improve, transforming the system from a simple distance calculator to an effective training tool.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If users make golf shots with wrong posture continuously, then they may achieve some driving distance, but their maximum driving distance cannot be increased due to unrecognized posture problems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshot analysis accuracyVSAvoiduser effort to improve
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes shot data and provides feedback on posture problems, eliminating the need for users to manually identify their own issues. The feedback includes specific information about what went wrong and how to improve, making the system easy to operate while maintaining high measurement precision through automated shot analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-analysis of shot data, automatically identifying posture problems and generating improvement recommendations without requiring external expert intervention. This self-service capability allows users to receive professional-level analysis simply by making shots, greatly reducing the effort required to improve while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If users attempt to improve driving distance without knowing their physical limitations, then they may make unnecessary efforts, but they still cannot overcome physical limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation on physical limitationsVSAvoidtime for unnecessary practice
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of shot data to identify physical limitations before users invest time in unnecessary practice. By providing this information upfront, users can focus their training efforts on areas that will actually improve their driving distance, avoiding wasted time on ineffective practice routines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides targeted feedback on specific physical limitations and posture problems, enabling users to concentrate their practice time on correcting identified issues rather than attempting random improvements. This feedback-driven approach significantly reduces the time needed to see actual improvements in driving distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
