Benefits of technology

The swing analysis system described in this patent application is designed to help golfers analyze their swings more accurately in order to improve their game. The system uses data from swings to estimate the direction and shape of the ball as it moves during the swing. This analysis is displayed on a screen for the golfer to see, providing an objective measure of their ability to hit the ball in these directions. By using this system, golfers can practice with higher precision and improve their overall game.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the techniques disclosed in JP-A-2015-123206 and JP-A-2014-64125, a size of a device capturing moving images or consecutive images (multi-motion images) is large, and thus there is a problem in that it is hard for a user to easily measure a swing.
On the other hand, in the technique disclosed in JP-A-2014-100341, swing analysis can be easily performed by using a motion sensor attached to an exercise appliance (golf club), but there is a problem in that it is hard for a user to objectively recognize variations in a plurality of swings.

Display Example 1

[0375]First, with reference to FIGS. 36A and 36B, a description will be made of a display method in which a display example (shooting direction) including the first region image 80A (time-series region images 81A, 82A and 83A) and the second region image 90A is displayed on the display section 25.

[0376]As illustrated in FIG. 36A, a roughly fan-shaped coordinate system having the “club path (incidence angle)” which is an index based on a trajectory of the head of the golf club 3 at impact as one axis, and the “head speed” which is an index indicating the magnitude of a speed of the head at impact (the moment of impact, right before the impact, or right after the impact) as the other axis is displayed on the display section 25. In other words, the coordinate system is a graph obtained by plotting the two indexes related to a ball shooting direction as two axes.

Display Example 2

[0388]Next, with reference to FIGS. 37A and 37B, a description will be made of a display method in which a display example (curving) including the first region image 80B (time-series region images 81B, 82B and 83B) and the second region image 90B is displayed on the display section25.

[0389]As illustrated in FIG. 37A, a roughly fan-shaped coordinate system having the “relative face angle” which is an index indicating an inclination of the face surface 74 with an incidence direction of the head of the golf club 3 to the ball hitting point 75 at impact illustrated in FIG. 18 as a reference as one axis, and the “head speed” which is an index indicating the magnitude of a speed of the head at impact (the moment of impact, right before the impact, or right after the impact) as the other axis is displayed on the display section 25. In other words, the coordinate system is a graph obtained by plotting the two indexes related to curving as two axes.

[0406]With reference to FIG. 40, a description will be made of a display method in which a display example (shooting direction) including the first region image 80A (time-series region images 81A, 82A and 83A) and the second region image 90A, and a display example (curving) including the first region image 80B (time-series region images 81B, 82B and 83B) and the second region image 90B are displayed on the display section 25.

[0407]As illustrated in FIG. 40, on the display section 25, a fan-shaped first coordinate system including the first region image 80A and the second region image 90A is disposed in the same manner as in the display example 1 (refer to FIG. 36A), and a fan-shaped second coordinate system including the first region image 80B and the second region image 90B is disposed in the same manner as in the display example 2 (refer to FIG. 37A). The first coordinate system has the “club path (incidence angle)” and the “head speed” which are two indexes relat...

Abstract

A display method includes generating first analysis information related to at least one of a ball shooting direction and a ball curving form swing on the basis of a plurality of pieces of data related to a plurality of swings, output from an inertial sensor which is attached to a user or an exercise appliance swung by the user and measures the plurality of swings performed by the user, and generating a first region image on the basis of the first analysis information, in which the first region image includes a plurality of time-series region images, and the plurality of time-series region images are displayed in a coordinate system having at least two indexes as axes.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Technical Field[0001]The present invention relates to a display method, a swing analysis apparatus, a swing analysis system, a swing analysis program, and a recording medium.2. Related Art[0002]In the related art, there is a technique in which a swing trajectory of a golf club, a racket, or a bat as an exercise appliance in sports such as golf, tennis, or baseball is analyzed, and an athletic ability of a player is enhanced by improving a swing trajectory. As an example of such a technique, for example, JP-A-2015-123206 discloses a technique in which a swing is imaged with a video camera, and analysis is performed by using captured moving images. For example, JP-A-2014-64125 discloses a technique in which a swing is analyzed on the basis of multi-motion images obtained by superimposing and combining a plurality of continuously captured images of the swing. For example, JP-A-2014-100341 discloses a technique in which an impact timing, that is, a ball hitting timing durin...
