Claims6
A hybrid golf guide system comprising:
- a terminal which is carried by a golfer and provides an interface for selecting one mode among an automatic mode for receiving automatically generated golf fitting information, a caddie mode for directly receiving golf fitting information from a faraway caddie, and a hybrid mode;
- a location information transmitter which is installed in every hole of a golf course and transmits location information of the hole;
- and
- a main server which provides golf fitting information in accordance with the modes of the terminal, designates a caddie in the caddie mode, provides information about details of a golfer's ongoing golf course to a caddie terminal of the designated caddie, and transmits the golf fitting information from the caddie terminal to the terminal,
- wherein the terminal comprises a mode setting module for selecting one mode among the automatic mode, the caddie mode and the hybrid mode, and a score management module which automatically calculates the number of shots or putts of the golfer who carries the terminal and records a score,
- wherein the mode setting module provides an interface for allowing a golfer to select a desired mode in real time, and sets the mode in response to an input of the golfer before starting a golf game in a specific golf course, or the mode to be switched over in response to an input of the golfer to receive one-point information or switch over the mode while the golf game is in progress,
- wherein the score management module comprises a swing sensor for sensing a swing motion corresponding to a golfer's shot or putt, and a score management unit for determining the golfer's shot or putt based on the swing motion sensed by the swing sensor and location information of the golfer and records a score based on the determined shot or putt,
- wherein the main server comprises:
- a mode manager which sets and manages the automatic mode, the caddie mode and the hybrid mode in response to a request of the terminal;
- a caddie manager which manages a registered caddie and designates available caddies when there is a need of designating a caddie as the mode is switched over to the caddie mode or the hybrid mode;
- and a golf fitting information provider which provides information about a location of a golfer who makes a request for the caddie mode and information about the details of the golf courses to the caddie terminal of the designated caddie when the caddie is designated, and transmits the golf fitting information input by the designated caddie to the terminal.
