Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pocket-type video device that decomposes basic movements of a model practical skill such as golf into a series of images, displays these series of images as a video,
Concerning a pocket-type device that helps you learn the tricks of rhythm and timing.

In order to master practical skills that involve physical exercise, such as sports, dance, drama, dance, or manual skills, the general rule is to receive basic guidance from an instructor, practice repeatedly according to that guidance, and gradually develop the skills through this repetition. The method is to grab and go. However, in the case of golf, for example, it is known that it is difficult to improve if you practice on your own without learning the basic movements of how to grip and swing a club. This is because the angle and distance at which the golf ball flies will vary depending on the subtle differences in the way the club is swung, so if the basic movement of the club is not performed accurately, the golf ball will not fly on the predetermined course. For this reason, it is common practice to receive guidance from an instructor at a golf driving range etc. regarding this basic movement, but this is inconvenient because of the inconvenience of having to go to the location, and it is not always possible to receive one-on-one instruction from an instructor. I wasn't able to practice anywhere on my own.

Therefore, a golf practice device has been developed, and this practice device is used to practice golf swings, but this device measures the flight course of the ball by measuring the speed and plane angle before and after the impact of the club on the ball. Since this is a prediction method, it can only check the movement at the moment of impact with the ball, so even if the ball flies in the correct direction and the distance increases, the same swing will be repeated over and over again. It wasn't something that could be done in the same way. In order to be able to do this, you must check the basic movements before and after the impact as well as the posture of the series of basic movements that follow these, that is, the posture of the swing movement from beginning to end. is the timing and rhythm of swinging the club up and down. This timing and rhythm can be learned through repeated trial and error practice, but it would be extremely convenient for golfers if they could master this without going to a golf course or driving range.

As described above, the present invention improves the problem that the conventional golf practice device corrects the swing by predicting the flight direction and distance of the ball, making it difficult to learn the correct movement. For this purpose, the basic movements of a model practical skill such as golf are broken down into a series of images and displayed, so that, for example, a golf swing can be understood in terms of rhythm and timing, and not only individual movements but also the entire movement can be systematically understood. To provide a practical video device which is made into a pocket-type portable device and can be used to visually memorize anytime and anywhere.

The configuration of the present invention is shown in FIG. Here, A is a display means for displaying the basic movement of the practical skill in a dot matrix, B is a storage means for storing a series of decomposed images of the basic movement of the practical skill and data of the movement time between the decomposed images, and C is this memory. Execution control means for sequentially displaying decomposed images of the basic movements of the practical skill on the display means A based on data stored in the means; D is an operation means for operating the execution control means to display on the display means; The overall structure E, which is a combination of these A, B, C, and D, has a pocket-shaped size.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5.

FIG. 2 is an overall exploded view of the pocket-type practical video device of this embodiment, in which 1 is the main body of the device, and 2 is a cassette that can be attached to and detached from the main body of the device.

The device main body 1 has a display section 1a, an operation section b, and a power switch 1c. The display section 1a is composed of a liquid crystal dot matrix, and has an image display section 1a-1 in the center thereof, a speed display section 1a-2 in the upper left corner showing the speed displayed on the screen of the swing of the golf club,
A swing time display section 1a- that displays the cumulative time of operation time data between predetermined decomposed images in the upper right corner.
3. Individual swing decomposition time display section 1a-4 that displays the data of the operation time between the currently displayed decomposed image and the immediately preceding decomposed image below it, and the club swing name that displays the selected club swing in the lower right corner. A display section 1a-5 is provided.
The operation unit 1b is composed of a keyboard having a total of 16 keys, 10 numeric keys and 6 letter keys, and an overlay 1b is provided on this keyboard.
-1 is placed on this overlay.
There is a display indicating the function of the key specified in the cassette installed in the cassette. Although not shown, the device body 1 also has built-in ROM and RAM.
It has a built-in CPU, LCD controller, driver, battery for driving these, and other necessary circuits.

The cassette 2 includes a cassette main body 2a and a connecting part 2b.
The cassette main body 2a has a ROM and holds a series of decomposed images of the basic movements of each swing of all golf swings and data of the movement time between each decomposed image, and based on these data, the above-mentioned A program for displaying basic operations, operation times, etc. on the display unit is stored. For example, the decomposed image of the basic movement of a golf club swing is shown in the third image.
As shown in FIGS. 1-22.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained in Fig. 4 with reference to Fig. 3.
This will be explained based on the diagram and FIG. Note that FIG. 3 shows an exploded image of Utsudo's No. 3 club swing.

When the power switch 1c is turned on, initial settings are made, and if the cassette 2, that is, the external ROM is not installed in the main body 1, a message is displayed and the power is turned off. At this time, the cassette 2 is attached to the main body 1 of the apparatus, the power is turned on again, and the above steps are repeated. This time, since the external ROM is installed, set the swing number variable m to 1, the swing display speed 1/t variable t to 1, and calculate the cumulative time S of the operation time data between predetermined separated images. 0, variable T for individual swing decomposition time display is 0, decomposition image number n of basic swing movement
Set to 1 and preset the timer stop.
Set the stop flag. In this state, the cumulative time 0 is the swing time display section 1a-3.
, the swing display speed 1/1 (highest level) is displayed on the speed display section 1a-2, and the image with image number P _1,1 (not shown) with m=1 and n=1 is displayed on the display section 1a. On the image display section 1a-1, m=
1's club swing name N ₁ (for example, W (Utsudo's No. 1) is displayed in the club swing name display section 1a-5, and the operating time T between decomposed images (0 because it is the initial screen) is the individual swing decomposition time. It is displayed on the display section 1a-4.When the swing selection keys, for example, the key 7 in FIG _{. . _ _ _ ,1} image, that is, Fig. 3 1 is displayed.In this state, if the swing selection key is not pressed, when the speed selection H key (speed up key) is pressed, t is currently 1. So, speed selection L key (speed down key)
If has not been pressed, the process moves on to determining whether or not the SC key (a key for calculating the cumulative time from an intermediate image, which will be described later) has been pressed. When this key is not pressed, the image is stopped.When the stop key is not pressed and the S start key is pressed,
Start the timer, clear the stop flag, and since the stop flag is not set, when T _n,o×t (T _3,1 ×1) reaches the timer value, reset the timer and start it.
〓〓Replace S with 0 and set S+T _n,o (0+T _3,1 ) to integrate the swing time, replace T with 0 and set T _3,1 , and replace n with 1 and set n+1 (1+1). , n is smaller than the number of images 22 in FIG. 3, so we return to it. Here, P _n,o becomes the image display of P _3,2 in Fig. 3, 2, and the display of S becomes ₀ . The display of the individual swing decomposition time T between images becomes the display of the time corresponding to T _3,1 , and thereafter ~ is repeated and returns to again, and the image display of 3 in Fig. 3 and its accompanying third A time display similar to that in FIG. 2 is performed. In this way, the basic movement decomposition images from Figure 3 1 to 22 are displayed together with their accumulated movement time and the time between each decomposition image of the movement, and the model swing of the club No. 3 Udo can be seen. . When n becomes larger than 22, the process returns to step 2, and the same process as above is repeated.

Above, the club swing display speed is set to the maximum, but if you want to slow it down, press the speed selection L key and set t to 2 if t is not 32.
Double the display speed 1/t to 1/2. Thereafter, the display speeds can be made sequentially slower in inverse proportion to the curtain series of 2 until t=32. Further, when increasing the swing display speed, each time the speed selection H key is pressed, each display speed becomes faster in proportion to the curtain series of 2 until t=1.

In addition, each image in Figure 3 changes continuously, and the accumulated time from image 1 is displayed, but if you want to know the swing time of an intermediate image, for example from 14 to 22, press the SC key and press S. Just set it to 0, let it pass in the same way as above, and then return to .

In addition, in the above, each figure in Figure 3 is displayed continuously, but if you want to stop the image in the middle, for example,
If you want to see the operation in Figure 14, press the P stop key, set the stop flag if it is not set, stop the timer, return to , and do the same thing as when the above images were displayed continuously. At this point, since the stop flag is set, the process returns and the same process is repeated, so that the 14th image is stopped and displayed. To cancel this stop and move to image 15, press the S start key to start the timer, clear the stop flag, and move to image 15.

As described above, the series of movements of the golf swing can be viewed continuously or intermittently, and the timing and rhythm of the golf swing in particular can be understood. If you change the display time between the decomposed images of each basic movement of the golf swing and take a closer look at the parts of the series of movements that you particularly want to check, you will be able to better understand the difference in the sense of rhythm in the swings of advanced players and beginners. In addition, since the image display using the dot matrix as described above can be easily converted into a mirror image by transferring the image to a mirror using a simple program, golf practitioners can practice by regarding this as their own form reflected in the mirror.

In the above explanation, the image display section 1a-1 displays an image seen from the front of the golfer, but if the image of the golfer seen from above is displayed in parallel, the swinging motion of the club will be improved. I can understand.

In addition, although the drawings are displayed using a dot matrix in the above example, the basic operations can be better understood if the dots are displayed three-dimensionally with a high density of dots as shown in FIG.

In addition, although the basic movements of a model golfer, such as a famous golfer, are shown in an exploded manner, golf practitioners can measure the speed and angle of view of their own club head before and after impact using a golf practice device, and create a model corresponding to that part. It may also be possible to compare the basic motion and its motion speed.

In addition, the image data stored in the ROM of the device of this embodiment is displayed on the television, and the output from the TV camera or VTR is also displayed on the television to compare the model motion with the motion of the individual golfer. Also good. In this case, if the position and magnification of the image data output from the ROM on the TV screen can be set freely, the image data can be adjusted to the same position and size as the image from the TV camera or VTR, and then superimposed. or display them next to each other for a more detailed comparison.

In addition, general users can use continuous photographs, film, etc.
If image data is created from a VTR, etc., written to a rewritable ROM or nonvolatile RAM, and used as a cassette in the same manner as described above, the user can view their own images.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a storage means,
Although ROM is used, magnetic recording media, optical storage media, etc. can also be used as storage means by adding a reading device.

Although golf has been described above, tennis may also be used, and a separate cassette may be used for tennis, and the golf overlay shown in FIG. 2 may be replaced with the tennis overlay 3 shown in FIG. 7. Good.

Further, although the above-mentioned examples of golf and tennis have been explained, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples, but can also be applied to other sports, as well as dancing, dancing, and manual skills.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a practical skill is broken down into a series of images of basic movements, and based on the movement time between each image, it is possible to display, for example, a golf swing movement. By repeatedly watching how a golfer swings the club, you can learn the rhythm and timing, and it is easy to remember the important points and tricks of a series of swings.If you put into practice what you have learned, you can reduce the number of times you practice golf and speed up your progress. .

In addition, since images of practical skills are displayed in a dot matrix, for example, the way the right elbow is raised and its angle are shadowed, so that the outline of the movement can be clearly seen, for example, when looking at the way the club is swung in an exploded photo of a series of photos. Even in cases where it is unclear, you can highlight these outlines with dots to better display the area. Therefore, it is easy to grasp and remember the flow and rhythm of the swing as a whole, without getting caught up in partial movements that are harmful to the golf swing. This is an advantage of being able to display analog things digitally.
