First Embodiment

  The round information output system is a system that acquires location information at which a user swings a shot while the user is rounding a golf course, plots it on the map information of the course, and records the status of the round so as to be able to confirm it later It is.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing a system configuration of a round information output system.
As shown in FIG. 1, the round information output system S includes a golf club (hereinafter simply referred to as “club”) GC, a wrist terminal 1, and a portable terminal 2.

  The club GC is capable of near field communication with the wrist terminal 1 in accordance with the NFC (Near Field Communication) standard, and the NFC chip is incorporated in the grip portion of the club GC.

The wrist terminal 1 is configured to be capable of short distance communication conforming to the standards of the club GC and the NFC.
The communication distance between the club GC and the wrist terminal 1 is a state in which the user holds the club GC in order to communicate with the NFC chip provided near the grip of the club GC and the wrist terminal 1 mounted on the user's arm Is set to about 10 cm so that communication is performed. By making the communication distance like this, the wrist terminal 1 communicates with the club GC, and it is assumed that the user holds the club GC (specifically, it is held in the address posture state) It is possible to detect whether the user holds the club GC or not.

Also, the wrist terminal 1 is configured to be able to measure the position of the satellite St by GPS, and can acquire the current position of the wrist terminal 1.
Therefore, in the round information output system S, communication with the club GC is performed in the wrist terminal 1, and when the state in which the club GC is held is detected, the GPS is positioned. By configuring in this manner, in the round information output system S, it is possible to obtain position information at the swinged position. Moreover, in the round information output system S, since it is not necessary to always perform the positioning of the GPS, it is possible to reduce the power consumption for the positioning of the GPS.
That is, in the recording of golf play using GPS position information, information on the point at which the user performs each shot is important, and for a path moving between them, recording is not necessary. Therefore, the battery duration can be extended by operating the GPS unit 16 only at the time of shot and acquiring position information, and leaving the GPS unit 16 not operating during the other periods. Also, assuming that the point at which the user takes a shot is the point at which the user grabs the club GC, it detects that the club GC is grabbed by NFC communication between the wrist terminal 1 and the club GC . As a result, the shot time can be detected reliably.

In addition, the wrist terminal 1 is configured to be able to perform near field communication with the portable terminal 2 in accordance with the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard.
The wrist terminal 1 outputs position information to the portable terminal 2.
In the round information output system S, by performing short-distance communication with the portable terminal 2, the user can handle the portable terminal 2 in a state in which the wrist terminal 1 is worn. Position information can be output.

The portable terminal 2 is configured to be capable of short distance communication conforming to the wrist terminal 1 and the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. At least the portable terminal 2 performs pairing with the wrist terminal 1 when using the round information output system S.
The portable terminal 2 acquires the position information measured at the position where the user swings on the course, which is output from the wrist terminal 1.

  In addition, the portable terminal 2 plots the acquired position information on the map information of the course the user has made a round, and generates round information. The generated round information is displayed and output, for example, on a display means or the like provided in the portable terminal 2, and can be confirmed as a round result of the user.

  The round information output system S configured as described above has a function of acquiring position information of a user swinging on a course, and has a function of outputting round information generated from the acquired position information and map information.

The optical lens unit is also provided with peripheral circuits for adjusting setting parameters such as focus, exposure, white balance, etc., as necessary.

The image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion element, an AFE (Analog Front End), and the like.
The photoelectric conversion element is composed of, for example, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) type photoelectric conversion element or the like. A subject image is incident on the photoelectric conversion element from the optical lens unit. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion element photoelectrically converts (captures) an object image, accumulates an image signal for a certain period of time, and sequentially supplies the accumulated image signal as an analog signal to the AFE.
The AFE performs various signal processing such as A / D (Analog / Digital) conversion processing on this analog image signal. A digital signal is generated by various signal processing, and is output as an output signal of the imaging unit 18.

In round information output processing, it is determined whether or not the user swings, each time it is determined that the user swings, position information is acquired, and the acquired position information is plotted on course information to generate round information. It means a series of processing.

  In the round information output process, as shown in FIG. 3, the information acquisition unit 51, the swing determination unit 52, the GPS control unit 53, and the communication control unit 54 function in the CPU 11-1 of the wrist terminal 1.

  The information acquisition unit 51 acquires various information such as sensor values output from the sensor unit 17 and the GPS unit 16 as a result of proximity communication with the NFC chip of the club GC detected by the communication unit 22, for example. That is, the information acquisition unit 51 detects presence / absence of detection of the club GC via the communication unit 22, position information which is GPS positioning information via the GPS unit 16, and attitude information of the wrist terminal 1 via the sensor unit 17 (acceleration sensor). The direction information of the wrist terminal 1 is acquired via the sensor unit 17 (gyro sensor).

  The swing determination unit 52 determines the swing based on the information on the presence / absence of detection of the club GC acquired by the information acquisition unit 51. That is, when the club GC is detected, the swing determination unit 52 determines that there is a swing.

  The GPS control unit 53 controls the GPS unit 16 to be activated to start positioning. In detail, when the swing determination unit 52 determines the swing, the GPS control unit 53 controls the GPS unit 16 to be activated.

  The communication control unit 54 controls the communication unit 22 so as to output the position information acquired by the information acquisition unit 51 by activating the GPS unit 16 to the portable terminal 2.

  The position information acquisition unit 71 acquires the position information output from the wrist terminal 1 via the communication unit 22-2.

The round information generation unit 72 generates round information based on the position information acquired from the wrist terminal 1 and the course information stored in the course information storage unit 91. In detail, the round information generation unit 72 plots the position information at which the swing is performed on the course information which is map information, and generates round information in which the locus of the shot position in the round can be known for each course.
In addition, the round information generation unit 72 stores the generated round information in the round information storage unit 92.

  The output control unit 73 controls the output unit 20-2 to display and output round information stored in the round information storage unit 92.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the round information output process performed by the round information output system S having the functional configuration of FIG. 3.
The round information output process is started by an operation of the round information output process start to the input unit 19-1 of the wrist terminal 1 by the user.

In step S11, the swing determination unit 52 executes a swing determination process.
The swing determination process is a process of determining whether it is a swing or not from the club GC detection state in the communication unit 22-1 acquired by the information acquisition unit 51. The detailed flow of the swing determination process will be described later.

In step S12, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether or not it is determined to be a swing.
If it is determined not to be a swing, it is determined as NO in step S12, and the process proceeds to step S15.
If it is determined to be a swing, YES is determined in step S12, and the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the GPS control unit 53 activates the GPS unit 16-1.

  In step S14, the information acquisition unit 51 acquires the position information measured by the GPS unit 16-1.

In step S15, the CPU 11-1 determines whether the round has ended.
If the round has not ended, it is determined as NO in step S15, and the process returns to step S11. Therefore, in the wrist terminal 1, the position information is continuously acquired at the point where the swing is made until the round ends.
If the round is over, YES is determined in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S <b> 16, the communication control unit 54 controls the communication unit 22-1 to output the position information to the mobile terminal 2.

  In step S <b> 17, the position information acquisition unit 71 acquires position information from the wrist terminal 1.

  In step S18, the round information generation unit 72 generates and stores round information. That is, the round information generation unit 72 plots the acquired position information on the map information of the course stored in the course information storage unit 91 to generate round information. Thereafter, the round information generation unit 72 stores the generated round information in the round information storage unit 92.

In step S19, the output control unit 73 controls the output unit 20-2 to display and output the round information stored in the round information storage unit 92.
Thereafter, the round information generation process ends.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the swing determination process in the round information output process.

In step S31, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether proximity communication with the club GC has been made. Specifically, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether or not there is proximity communication with the club GC based on whether the information acquisition unit 51 has detected a club GC.
If there is no close proximity communication with the club GC, it is determined as NO in step S31, and the swing determination process ends.
If close communication has been performed with the club GC, YES is determined in step S31, and the process proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, the swing determination unit 52 determines that it is a swing. Thereafter, the swing determination process ends.

  Therefore, in the round information output system S, when it is determined to be a swing during the round, in order to obtain position information, position information is automatically obtained without operating the terminal for obtaining position information. Can. Furthermore, in the round information output system S, round information can be generated by plotting the acquired position information on the map information of the rounded course.

Second Embodiment

In addition, the swing determination unit 52 has, based on the detection result acquired by the information acquisition unit 51, that there has been a swing operation, that there has been a change in behavior that causes a ball to hit and that there is an impact, and the direction of the swing. It is determined whether or not the direction is appropriate for the shot (for example, the cup direction).
When the swing determination unit 52 determines that the motion, the behavior, and the direction match in all directions, the swing determination unit 52 determines that it is a swing.

  Further, many of the processing of the flow of round information output processing performed by the round information output system S in the second embodiment is the same as the flow of FIG. Since the swing determination process is mainly different, the flow of the swing determination process will be described below.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the swing determination process in the round information output process according to the second embodiment.

In step S51, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether or not there is a swing operation. In detail, the swing determination unit 52 detects whether or not the swing operation has been performed based on the detection result acquired from the sensor unit 17 of the acceleration sensor in the information acquisition unit 51.
If there is no swing operation, it is determined as NO in step S51, and the swing determination process ends.
If a swing operation has been performed, YES is determined in step S51, and the process proceeds to step S52.

In step S52, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether there is a change in behavior equal to or greater than a threshold. Specifically, based on the detection result acquired from the sensor unit 17 of the acceleration sensor in the information acquisition unit 51, the swing determination unit 52 detects whether or not there has been a change in the behavior to the extent that the ball hit. .
If there is no change in behavior above the threshold value, it is determined as NO in step S52, and the swing determination process ends.
If there is a change in behavior equal to or greater than the threshold, YES is determined in step S52, and the process proceeds to step S53.

In step S53, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether the swing direction is appropriate. In detail, the swing determination unit 52 determines whether the swing direction is a direction (for example, a cup direction) appropriate for the shot based on the detection result acquired from the sensor unit 17 of the gyro sensor in the information acquisition unit 51. judge.
If the swing direction is not appropriate, it is determined as NO in step S53, and the swing determination process ends.
If the swing direction is appropriate, YES is determined in step S53, and the process proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, the swing determination unit 52 determines that it is a swing. Thereafter, the swing determination process ends.

The swing determination unit 52 determines whether or not the user has made a specific motion (for example, a motion of a golf swing).
The GPS control unit 53 performs positioning by the GPS unit 16 when the swing determination unit 52 determines that the user has performed a specific movement.
The information acquisition unit 51 acquires the result of positioning by the GPS unit 16 as position information.
Thereby, in the wrist terminal 1, while being able to acquire position information reliably at the time of operation of the user who becomes necessary, while being judged as a specific movement, unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed in order to acquire position information. it can.

Moreover, in the wrist terminal 1, the specific movement is a movement to swing the golf club.
Thus, the wrist terminal 1 can acquire position information only when swinging.

The swing determination unit 52 determines that it is a swing when proximity communication is performed between the communication unit 22-1 provided in the wrist terminal 1 and the NFC chip CHP provided in the club GC.
As a result, the wrist terminal 1 can detect a specific posture (the posture of the address) by detecting that it is a short distance, so that it is possible to determine a swing with high accuracy.

When it is determined that the club GC has hit the ball, the swing determination unit 52 determines that it is a swing.
Thereby, in the wrist terminal 1, the swing of the shot can be specified, and the determination of the swing with high accuracy can be performed.
