Innovation Solution
A virtual golf simulation device and system that includes a sensing unit for analyzing golf ball hits, a capturing unit for recording swing motions, an imaging means for displaying virtual golf courses, and a transmission means for sending selected shot data to a server for storage and sharing, allowing users to record and share their experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a virtual golf simulation device only provides basic shot simulation, then the device complexity remains low, but the content variety and user engagement are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual golf simulation device integrates multiple functions including shot simulation, swing motion capture, best/worst shot identification, data transmission to servers, and user impression recording. This multi-functionality allows a single device to provide diverse content and services, resolving the contradiction between content variety and device complexity by consolidating multiple subsystems into one unified platform.
2Productivity
If the device stores and shares best/worst shots and user impressions, then user engagement and content sharing are enhanced, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces servers as intermediary components that handle data storage, processing, and sharing functions. The simulation device transmits captured swing motion data and shot information to servers, which then manage the complexity of storing best/worst shots and user impressions. This intermediary approach allows the simulation device to enhance user engagement through sharing capabilities while offloading data processing complexity to external server systems.
3Measurement precision
If the device captures swing motion and analyzes golf ball hits in detail, then the measurement precision of shot characteristics is improved, but the device complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical measurement systems with sensor-based detection and computational analysis. Instead of using complex mechanical devices to measure swing parameters, the system uses sensing units to capture swing motion and ball flight data, then employs calculation means to analyze these data and determine shot characteristics. This substitution reduces mechanical complexity while improving measurement precision through sophisticated data processing.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are a virtual golf simulation device, a system including the same and a terminal device, and a virtual golf simulation method wherein the best shot or the worst shot occurring during a virtual golf game is stored in a server such that the best shot or the worst shot can be watched afterwards or such that the best shot or the worst shot can be shared by many persons, and a user enjoying a screen golf culture records various impressions of such a culture such that the impressions can be listened to afterward or can be open to the public, that is, various contents are provided, whereby a user using a screen golf system based on virtual golf simulation can enjoy various cultures which cannot be provided by a conventional golf system and thus interest of users can be induced.
