Abstract
The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid golf system and a method for locating golf ball or marker at ball point on the real field in the hybrid golf system, when playing on an actual field following play on a virtual golf course using a screen golf system in the hybrid golf system, a camera sensing system can be used to detect and control a locator so that it can position a golf ball or a marker at a ball point on the field that corresponds to a ball position on the virtual golf course.
Claims9
A hybrid golf system comprising:
- a screen golf module that allows a user to play golf in a virtual golf course and is provided on one side of a field on which the user plays actual golf;
- a simulator provided in the screen golf module that implements a virtual golf simulation image according to the virtual golf course and the user's golf play;
- a camera sensing system including a plurality of cameras provided to detect the field;
- a locator that moves on the field and locates a golf ball or a marker at a user's ball point;
- and
- a controller that calculates a position on the field corresponding to a ball position on the virtual golf course of the user played through the simulator as the ball point, and transmits movement path information to the locator so that the locator moves to the ball point while detecting the position of the locator by the camera sensing system.
A method for positioning a golf ball or marker at a ball point on a field in a hybrid golf system comprising the field provided so that a user can play actual golf and a screen golf module provided on one side of the field so that the user can play golf in a virtual golf course, the method comprising:
- calculating a position on the field corresponding to a ball position on the virtual golf course of the user played through the screen golf module as a ball point on the field;
- detecting a locator that moves on the field and carries a golf ball or marker by a camera sensing system having a plurality of cameras arranged to detect the field, calculating position information of the locator, and calculating movement path information from the position of the locator to the ball point;
- and
- transmitting the calculated movement path information to the locator so that the locator moves along the movement path and place the golf ball or marker at the ball point.
