Golf lesson apparatus and server by using intrinsic location and user authentication

Abstract

This invention relates to a golf lesson apparatus and server by using intrinsic location and user authentication which is installed at each tee box of golf courses or driving ranges. This invention aims simple and easy correction of user's swing posture, and is comprised of: the Wireless Communication Part which authenticates users with the user's RFID ID card; the Motion Detection Part which records user's swing posture; the Data Storage Part which stores the video of the user's swing posture; the Key Input Interface Part which receives user's command; the Display Part which shows the video of the user's swing posture on real time basis and the video of analysis and lesson on user's swing posture transmitted from the golf lesson server; the Network Interface Part which connects the golf lesson server via wired / wireless networks; and the Control Part which provides the services linked with the Golf Lesson Server.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to a golf lesson apparatus and server by using intrinsic location and user authentication. More specifically speaking, it relates to a golf lesson apparatus and server which authenticate users through the users' IDs and the IDs of the golf courses or driving ranges, the tee boxes and the golf clubs, record the video of the users' swing postures and analyze the users' swing videos, provide the users with the swing lesson video on real time and provide the users with systematic golf lesson which suits for the users' levels and conditions, and provide users with search and replay services for their swing videos and the various golf lesson videos transmitted from the golf lesson server via the wired or wireless networks.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As with most other sports, golf requires correct swing that makes accurate and stable driving. The swing posture affects the stability, accuracy and distance of the ball. Therefore, learning stable swing pos...

Benefits of technology

[0012]As explained hereinabove, this invention is effective for golf users to enable simple and easy correction of golf swing postures by analysis on users' swing video using golf analysis tool or by professional's coaching on real-time basis, and also by watching the users' swing videos and golf lesson videos which are stored in the database of said golf lesson sever by convenient search function, through the access to the golf lesson server by simple authentication.

[0013]In addition, this invention can provide users with various lesson programs suitable for each user's skill level and environment, with systemized swing analysis videos and golf lesson videos, and with systematic administration of users and golf courses or golf driving ranges.

[0014]In addition, users can view their own swing posture videos by accessing to the server whenever and wherever, and preset the video which will be automatically displayed when a user enters a tee box for more convenient and faster lesson.

Problems solved by technology

However, swing posture easily becomes distracted by the golfer's condition or insufficient practice time, leading to inaccurate hitting such as miss-shot, hook and slice.

Also, even though the golfer is accustomed to basic principles of swing posture, while it is relatively easier to analyze other's irrational swing posture, it is not easy to see his / her own posture to identify the cause of inaccurate motion, which leads to such motion getting into habit and loss of interest in golf.

However, using camcorders is accompanied with a lot of inconveniences of installation, shooting, slow replay, and difficulty of viewing motions in 3D images.

Also, the advice of a coach or other people cannot avoid repeating trial and error in experience because the golfer cannot see his / her own swing posture.

Such service is only available in the places where there are computer terminals connected to Internet, but unavailable during the swing exercise in golf courses or driving ranges.

Therefore, since the user cannot see his / her own swing posture on the site, it leads to far unsatisfactory learning efficiency and there remains the demerit that the teaching cannot be conducted by taking into consideration analysis of the golfer's skill, level, and situation.
