Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of a unified teaching method or integrated education system for systematic golf instruction results in varying teaching methods among professional teachers, leading to inconsistencies in golf instruction for golfers of different physical structures and skill levels.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that analyzes golfer information, swing motion, and club performance using a server to provide systematic feedback and adjust lesson goals based on consistent analysis of club face control, lever system, path control, impact accuracy, and ball flight, allowing for continuous feedback and goal setting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If professional teachers use individualized teaching methods adapted to each golfer's physical structure and skill level, then teaching effectiveness for individual golfers is improved, but consistency and uniformity across different teaching sessions are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to individual golfer characteristicsVSAvoidconsistency of teaching method
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The teaching method is segmented into seven distinct analytical steps (receiving golfer information, analyzing swing motion, analyzing club face control, analyzing path control, analyzing impact accuracy, analyzing consistency, and determining goal achievement). This segmentation allows the system to maintain a consistent overall framework while adapting to individual golfers within each step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as lesson goals, analysis depth, and feedback specificity based on the golfer's physical structure, age, gender, and skill level. The server adjusts teaching parameters dynamically while maintaining the seven-step analytical structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If a unified teaching method is implemented across all professional teachers, then consistency in golf instruction is improved, but adaptability to individual golfer needs is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of teaching methodVSAvoidadaptability to individual golfer characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The seven-step analytical method serves as a universal framework that can be applied to all golfers regardless of their individual characteristics. The server executes the same analytical steps for every golfer, ensuring consistency, while the parameters and feedback within each step adapt to individual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of swing motion and club performance is performed, then teaching precision is improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of swing analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex analysis is segmented into seven manageable steps, each focusing on a specific aspect of the swing (swing motion, club face control, path control, impact accuracy, consistency, etc.). This segmentation reduces the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that automatically processes the complex data from multiple sensors and cameras, performing detailed swing analysis without requiring complex manual intervention. The server mediates between the raw data and the teaching feedback, simplifying the system's operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If multiple analysis steps are implemented for each golfer, then teaching quality is improved, but time required for each lesson is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of teachingVSAvoidtime per lesson
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The manual mechanical process of analyzing each swing parameter is replaced with an automated server-based system that processes swing data, club performance data, and sensor information automatically. This substitution maintains high teaching quality through comprehensive seven-step analysis while significantly reducing the time required per lesson.

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

AI summary

A method for performing golf lessons on a server includes receiving information on the gender, age, and body type of the golfer and setting a lesson goal for the golfer, analyzing the golfer's swing motion acquired from the server and analyzing the club face control and lever system of the golfer, analyzing the path control of the club according to the golfer's swing, analyzing the control accuracy of the impact of hitting a golf ball and the flight of the golf ball, analyzing the consistency between the golfer's golf swing and the flight of the golf ball resulting therefrom over a plurality of times, analyzing the head speed of the club and the speed of the golf ball, and determining whether the set lesson goal of the golfer has been achieved.
