Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment, a distance measuring apparatus includes: a display unit and a sound output unit; a location acquiring sensor configured to acquire a current location; a slope sensor configured to measure a tilt angle; a distance measuring sensor configured to measure the straight line distance to a target; and a control unit configured to calculate a height of the target by using the tilt angle and the straight line distance, to calculate an attack distance by using a relationship between the height of the target, a landing angle, and the attack distance, and to output the attack distance to at least one of the display unit and the sound output unit.
Claims15
A distance measuring apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display information processed by the distance measuring apparatus and a sound output unit configured to output sound;
- a location acquiring sensor configured to acquire a current location;
- a slope sensor configured to measure a tilt angle;
- a distance measuring sensor configured to measure the straight line distance to a target;
- and
- a control unit configured to calculate a height of the target by using the tilt angle and the straight line distance, to calculate an attack distance by using the height of the target and a relationship between a landing angle and the attack distance, and to output the attack distance to at least one of the display unit and the sound output unit,
- wherein the attack distance is a distance for moving a golf ball at the current location to the target, and the landing angle is the angle at which the golf ball lands on the ground.
A control method of a distance measuring apparatus, comprising:
- acquiring, by a location acquiring sensor, a current location of the distance measuring apparatus;
- measuring, by a slope sensor, a tilt angle of the distance measuring apparatus;
- measuring, by a distance measuring sensor, a straight line distance from the distance measuring apparatus to a target;
- calculating, by a control unit, a height of the target by using the tilt angle and the straight line distance;
- calculating, by the control unit, an attack distance by using a relationship between the height of the target, a landing angle, and the attack distance;
- and
- outputting, by the control unit, the attack distance to at least one of a display unit configured to display information processed by the distance measuring apparatus and a sound output unit configured to output sound,
- wherein the attack distance is a distance for moving a golf ball at the current location to the target, and the landing angle is the angle at which the golf ball lands on the ground.
