Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a golf course management system capable of accurately grasping the progress of play.

[Conventional technology]

In a golf course, it is very important to grasp the progress of each player team's play in each hole in the gear day master room in order to provide appropriate services to players.

However, there is a difference in difficulty depending on each hole, and the progress of the play varies depending on the skill of the player team and also on the weather. You can see the progress of the start hole if you can see it from the gear day master's room, but you can only know the progress of the start hole after half-out and the return of the day.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

For this reason, conventionally, it is difficult to accurately grasp the progress of play in each hole in the day room, and it is difficult to instruct an appropriate start time. Was not well received.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to solve such a problem, a golf course management system according to the present invention includes a hole signal transmitter that is provided near a golf course tee ground and outputs an infrared hole signal that is a code for identifying the hole. Receiving a hall signal when passing near a hall signal transmitter provided on a car cart, counting the traveling distance of the car cart based on the reception of the hall signal, identifying the hall signal, the traveling distance data and the car cart. And a cart control device for wirelessly transmitting the cart signal in the caddy master room.

(Operation)

In the present invention, information such as which gear deck is in which hole and how far the car cart has traveled since the start of the hole is transmitted to the car master room. You can grasp the progress of play at a glance.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a golf course management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the contents of a control circuit therein, and FIG. 3 is a plan view near a tee ground. .

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a cart control device mounted on the car cart 1 (FIG. 3), and reference numeral 20 denotes a cart course 50 near the tee ground 40 (FIG. 3) through which the car cart 1 passes.
FIG. 3 shows a hall signal transmitter arranged on the side of the course. Reference numeral 30 denotes a carrier master control device installed in the carrier room.

The hole signal transmitter 20 includes a hole data generation unit 21 that generates a code for identifying the number of the hole in which the transmitter is installed, a modulation unit 22 that modulates data from the hole data generation unit 21, and a modulated hole. A light emitting unit 23 that outputs an infrared hall signal including number information, a power supply unit 24 that includes a solar cell and a rechargeable power supply battery, and supplies power to each unit by charging the power supply battery with the solar cell during the daytime Have been.

In addition, the cart control device 10 includes a light receiving unit 11 that receives light from the light emitting unit 23, a demodulation unit 12 that demodulates the received hole signal to detect the hole data, and stores the hole data. A control circuit 1 which starts counting the traveling distance of the car cart 1 and further transmits a cart signal which is a code for identifying the car cart.
3, each signal from the control circuit 13 is transmitted to the cable master controller 3
Transmitter / receiver that uses radio waves to transmit to 0 and to receive control signals from the cable master controller 30
14. It is composed of a battery power supply 15 used for driving a cart.

The carrier master control device 30 includes a transceiver 31 for wirelessly transmitting and receiving signals to and from the transceiver 14, and a control circuit 32 comprising a computer, a display, a keyboard, and the like, for managing the arrival and departure of the carrier cart.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control circuit 13 of the cart control device 10 is composed of a CPU and the like, and a control unit 13a for processing, controlling, and instructing each signal, and stores each data such as hole data detected from the hole signal. A storage unit 13b, a cart setting unit 13c that sets a cart signal for identifying the cart, a distance counter 13d that is reset by a hall signal and counts a subsequent traveling distance of the cart, and that a pulse is generated at predetermined intervals by the traveling of the cart. It is composed of a running sensor 13e to output, a liquid crystal digital type display unit 13f for displaying various necessary data such as a running distance of a cart, a sounding unit 13g including a speaker for generating alarm information according to an instruction from the cable master room, and the like. .

The distance counter 13d has two counters, a hole running counter and a total running counter. The hole running counter is automatically reset at the start of each hole as described below, and the cumulative running counter is not reset as described below. It is also used for maintenance management.

When play starts and the day cart 1 departs from, for example, the tay ground 40 of the first hole, it immediately passes near the hall signal transmitter 20 of the first hole, receives the hall signal, and detects the number data of the hole. And storage
Store it in 13b. Simultaneously with the reception of the hall signal, the hall running counter of the distance counter 13d which counts the running of the hall is reset and counts the running distance in the hall from zero. The cumulative running counter of the distance counter 13d is not reset by the hall signal.

Thereafter, the same operation is performed every time the carry cart passes through the hall signal transmitter 20 of each hole, and information on the hole where the carry cart is currently located and how far from the start of the hole the information is always provided. Storage unit 13b
And the distance counter 13d. The total running distance of the day cart is also stored at the same time.

On the other hand, from the day master room, polling for data reading is performed on each cart control device 10 at regular intervals. As a result, the control circuit 13 of the cart control device 10 receives the data reading instruction and identifies the stored data, that is, the cart signal for identifying the car cart and the hole number where the car cart is running. Signals for the hall, mileage data in the hall, and accumulated mileage data.
Sent from 14.

In this manner, the latest daytime position information of each daycart can always be accurately grasped in the daymaster room. According to this information, in order to adjust the progress of the play from the cable master room, instruction information such as advance / delay etc. is transmitted from the transceiver 31 to the predetermined cable cart, and the sound generation in the control circuit 13 of the cart control device 10 is performed. Instruction can be given by voice from the unit 13g. Also, when emergency contact is needed,
You can also use this. Further, since the operation of the sound generator 13g is the same as that of the intercom, it is also possible to contact the day cart room from the day cart side.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the golf course management system according to the present invention, a hole signal transmitter provided near the tee ground and outputting a hole signal for identifying the hole, and a hole signal transmitter provided on the caddy cart and near the hole signal transmitter A cart control device that receives a hall signal when passing through, counts the travel distance of the carry cart, and wirelessly transmits the hall signal, the travel distance data, and a cart signal for identifying the carry cart to the carry master room. As a result, it is possible to accurately grasp information such as which key cart is in which hole in the day master room and how far the day cart has progressed from the start of the hole, and it is possible to smoothly progress the play This has the effect of improving service.
