Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to confirmation information indicating that information can be received from an information management unit and displayed on a display device, and the information content has been confirmed from the display device to the information management unit. The present invention relates to a two-way display system capable of transmitting a message.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a public place, for example, a display device such as a message board for transmitting some information to an unspecified number of people or a specific person by display is known. When such a display device is used, for example, in a lobby of a golf course or the like, start information such as the name of the player playing on the day and the scheduled start time of the player is displayed. As a guide, it is possible to sequentially go to a cart dispatching place where a golf cart is dispatched as time passes. The start information displayed on the display device is input by an administrator of the golf course by, for example, an information management unit disposed in a management building or the like.

[0003]

A player arriving at a golf course prepares for play in accordance with start information displayed on a display device, and this information is based on data entered by an administrator. Is displayed as it is, and it is one-way information provision. Therefore, it is difficult for the manager in the management building to know whether the player is taking action according to the information displayed on the display device, and it is not possible to grasp the delay in the play time.

For example, the start time of each player is set at regular intervals (for example, about 6 to 7 minutes) without considering the time required for the golf course to actually play, and is shown on the display device. Using the start time as a guide, the player goes to a starting point such as a cart dispatch area. However, players who practice at the ballpark or putter practice area before starting or have breakfast and lunch in the dining hall may have their own start time passed without difficulty. Further, when a member playing at the same party is absent, there is a case where the player forgets time while searching for the member and delays heading to the start point.

[0005] For this reason, for example, if the player A does not appear in the cart dispatch yard at the scheduled start time, the players B, C,.
・ ··················································································································································· In this case, for each player starting after the player B, the preparation for the start of the player A,
If it is possible to easily notify that the start or the like is delayed, such a trouble can be avoided.
However, since the manager only unilaterally inputs the start information, it is impossible to determine whether or not the predetermined player has started based on the actually displayed start time. It is difficult to provide the corresponding information.

Therefore, it is conceivable to urge the player to start by adding a caddy, for example.
The player and the golf course bear the cost, and the playing fee rises. In addition, it is conceivable to introduce an image monitor system capable of monitoring the start situation and manage the trend of the player, but there is a problem that a large equipment input cost is required.

As described above, conventionally, the information displayed on the display device is only provided unilaterally by the administrator, and therefore, it has not been possible to notify an accurate start situation according to the situation at the place. was there.

[0008]
