Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a golf course distance display device for informing a player of the remaining distance from a player's position to a pin position, and more particularly to a golf course distance display device using GPS to detect the player's position.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 What is necessary to improve the golf score is to know the distance to the green accurately. For this reason, at golf courses, trees are often planted as landmarks at a position of about 150 yards or about 100 yards from the tee ground. The player visually estimates the distance from the ball to the green based on the positional relationship between his / her ball and the tree as a landmark, and uses it as a guide for club selection.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, not all players know the presence of landmark trees. In particular, visitor players often have no idea which tree is a landmark. Even if the distance from the ball to the green is known, it is very important for a member player who frequently plays at the golf course to know the strategy at that position, such as the condition of the club or green to be used. It's difficult.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and uses a GPS that allows any player to easily and accurately know the distance to the green and to know the strategy at that position. It is intended to provide a golf course distance display device.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A golf course distance display device using GPS according to the present invention includes a position detection unit that receives a signal from a GPS satellite to detect the position of the player, and information storage that stores various kinds of information of all holes in advance. The remaining distance from the ball to the pin position is calculated from the part, the strategy storage part that stores in advance the strategy at each position of all holes, and the position and various information detected by the position detection part. In addition, it is provided with a computing unit that searches for a strategy suitable for the detected position, and an information reporting unit that informs the player of the computation result of this computing unit and the search result.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is an electrical block diagram of a golf course distance display device using GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A golf course distance display device using GPS according to the present embodiment receives a signal A ₁ from a GPS satellite A ₁ to detect the position of the player, and a variety of information on all holes. The information storage unit 200 that is stored in advance, the capture method storage unit 300 that stores the capture method at each position of all holes in advance, and the position and various information detected by the position detection unit 100 The calculation unit 400 that calculates the remaining distance from the pin position to the pin position and searches for the strategy that matches the detected position, and the information notification unit that notifies the player of the calculation result and search result of this calculation unit 400. Equipped with 500.

The golf course distance display device using the GPS is set to a size and a weight so that the player does not feel uncomfortable to carry it. This golf course distance display device using GPS includes, for example, a liquid crystal display panel as a display unit 51 0 forming a part of the information display unit 500, a plurality of operation keys for inputting various kinds of information, The position detecting unit 100 has an antenna. The operation key has a detection key for detecting the current position.

The position detection unit 100 receives the signal A ₁ from the GPS satellite A and detects the current position, that is, the position of the player (= position of the ball) based on the signal. ing. Then, the detection result of the position detection unit 100 is sent to the calculation unit 400. The current position is detected only when the detection key is pressed.

In the information storage unit 200, various kinds of information on all holes, such as the distance between each hole, the pin position, and the hole layout, are stored in advance. Then, of the various information, information about the hole currently being played by the player is sent to the arithmetic unit 400.

On the other hand, in the strategy storage unit 300, the strategy at each position of all holes, for example, the club number to be used, points to be noted, bunker distance and direction, etc. are stored in advance.

The calculation unit 400 receives the player's current position, calculates the remaining distance, and searches the strategy storage unit 300 for a strategy at the current position. The remaining distance as the calculation result and the strategy at the current position as the search result are sent to the information display unit 500.

The remaining distance is displayed on the display unit 510 of the information display unit 500 and is output as voice from the voice synthesis unit 52 0. In addition, the capture method is visually displayed on the display unit 510 and is also output as a voice from the voice synthesis unit 520. The player selects a club or the like and plays by referring to such information.

The golf course distance display device using GPS is assumed to be carried by the player, but may be attached to a cart or the like. In this case, since it is not necessary to construct the golf course distance display device using GPS so small and lightweight, the liquid crystal display panel of the display unit 510 can be increased in size, which is a more useful strategy for the player. Can inform you.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION A golf course distance display device using GPS according to the present invention stores in advance a position detection unit that receives a signal from a GPS satellite to detect the position of the player, and various types of information for all holes. Information storage unit, the strategy storage unit that stores the strategy at each position of all holes in advance, the position detected by the position detection unit and various information, and the remaining from the ball to the pin position. Since it is equipped with a computing unit that computes the distance of, and searches for a strategy suitable for the detected position, and an information notifying unit that informs the player of the computation result of this computing unit and the search result, anyone can You can easily and accurately know the distance to the green, and you can know the strategy at that position. Therefore, it can greatly contribute to score improvement.

Further, since the information notifying unit has a display unit for displaying the remaining distance and the strategy by visual means such as characters, and a voice synthesizing unit for notifying them by voice, it is more reliable. The player can be informed of the remaining distance.
