Description

Golf course path guidance system Technical field

The invention relates to a guidance system, especially a golf course path guidance system.

Background technique

Golf is a targeted and directional outdoor sport, and the course of fairways and fairways is also sequential; in golf courses, due to the vastness of the golf course, for the golf course operators, the management of the field works It is relatively complicated and requires regular repairs to different venues. Therefore, during the maintenance period, flags or ropes are used to inform golfers that they are not allowed to enter the repair area, but accidental intrusion by golfers may still occur.

Summary of the invention

technical problem

US Patent No. US7480569B2 discloses a golf cart control method and system. It obtains location information of the golf cart through satellite positioning, and compares the location information with a pre-planned map prohibiting travel. When the golf cart is When entering the prohibited area, the golf cart is controlled to stop, so as to improve the aforementioned problem that golfers are likely to enter by mistake. However, the aforementioned patent uses a passive monitoring method to control the golf cart to stop only when it is detected that the golf cart enters the prohibited area, and it cannot prevent the golf cart from traveling in advance. In addition, the golf carts can move freely in general areas. Although it is convenient for users to operate, it is difficult to control, which increases the risk of ground abrasion and reduces the efficiency of the court.

At the same time, golf courses are composed of fairway areas, long grass areas, obstacle areas and green areas. Each type of course has different levels of grass and different terrain fluctuations. Not all courses are suitable for golf carts. The reason is The weight of golf carts and the rotation of the wheels can easily cause damage to the site or make it difficult to move due to the terrain. Therefore, the course will plan the path of the golf cart to be paved with asphalt or cement to provide golfers on a fixed path. However, when the path is far away from the ball position, it may still happen that golfers drive the golf cart to deviate from the planned path, causing damage to the field.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-181540 discloses that the electromagnetic induction line is buried under the ground along the planned path, and a sensor is installed on the golf cart. The electromagnetic induction line buried in the ground is detected by the sensor to guide the golf The effect of the golf cart prevents the golf cart from deviating from the planned path. Although the aforementioned patent can prevent golf carts from deviating from the planned path, when all golf carts are driving on the same path, this path is easily affected by the weight of the golf cart and the wheels, causing the ground of this path to be easily damaged and frequent The problem of maintenance; in addition, when the electromagnetic induction line is not buried or needs to be repaired, the guiding effect cannot be provided. It is necessary for golfers to drive golf carts to bypass the maintenance section. In this way, golfers may drive The problem of golf carts traveling in prohibited areas; and the cost of constructing, refitting and repairing the golf carts with induction circuits is not expensive.

The control module 11 controls the movement of the carrier 10.

Please refer to Figure 1, Figure 4 and Figure 6 together. When the number of vehicles 10 is multiple and each vehicle 10 enters the second guiding block 311b, the processing module 22 will allocate or randomize , Calculate the path range 32 of each vehicle 10, and each vehicle 10 will be restricted to move within a different path range 32 (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6), where, when the processing module 22 allocates or randomizes When calculating the path range 32 of each vehicle 10, each path range 32 has its own code (for example, the second guiding block 311b has three path ranges 32, and the codes of the three path ranges 32 are 2-1, 2-2, 2-3), and the processing module 22 calculates the code that is to specify the path range 32 in the second guiding block 311b by means of allocation or random number generation (random number) , Can simply and quickly generate random and non-repetitive codes to obtain the path range 32 to be specified. It should be particularly noted that when there is only one vehicle 10 and it enters the movable block 31 (for example: the first guiding block 311a and the second guiding block 311b) with the multi-block path range 32, the processing The module 22 also obtains the designated path range 32 through the calculation method of allocation or random random number generation.

In addition, the processing module 22 determines according to the position signal that the vehicle 10 is approaching at least one path range 32 of the guiding block 311, at least one path range 32 of the manual control block 312, and the walking block 313 or the limit range 34, the processing module 22 will generate a warning signal and send the warning signal to the control module 11, and the control module 11 will send a warning signal to remind the user 1 that the vehicle 10 wants to exceed In the restricted path range 32, the manual control block 312, the walking block 313, or the restricted range 34, the user 1 can adjust the driving direction of the vehicle 10 to keep away from the boundary; wherein, the warning signal is based on the vehicle 10 The distance to the boundary changes. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle 10 is closer to the boundary, the processing module 22 controls the control module 11 to gradually increase the sound and light frequency, that is, when the vehicle 10 faces the boundary When approaching, the processing module 22 will first control the control module 11 to issue a low-frequency sound and light warning. If the vehicle 10 continues to approach the boundary, the processing module 22 will control the control module 11 to gradually increase the frequency of sound and light. When the vehicle 10 has reached the boundary, the processing module 22 will control the control module 11 to emit high-frequency sound and light and stop the vehicle 10 from turning. The vehicle 10 can only turn or reverse away from the boundary, and the processing module 22 will deactivate the control module 11 Issue a warning signal.

Please refer to Figure 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 together. When the user 1 wants to drive the vehicle 10 to enter the field information 30, it will be entered from the manual control block 312, and the processing module 22 transmits the manual control block 312 The two-dimensional coordinate points and the switching signal are sent to the control module 11, and the control module 11 uses the control mode to restrict the vehicle 10 from moving within the range of the manual control block 312 toward the target point 33 of the first guiding block 311a; When the vehicle 10 moves to the target point 33 of the first guiding block 311a, the processing module 22 uses the first guiding block 311a as the limit of the moving range of the vehicle 10, and at the same time generates one of them through allocation or random random numbers The path range 32 is the designated path range 32, and the control module 11 controls the carrier 10 to move along the designated path range 32 and move toward the target point 33 of the second guide block 311b, and so on, the guide The vehicle 10 moves.

Furthermore, please refer to FIGS. 1 and 5 together. When the carrier 10 moves in the follow mode, the user 1 needs to remain in front of the carrier 10 so that the guiding module 14 can effectively detect the user 1 The calibration device 50 worn on the body; when the user 1 walks to an area other than the path range 32 to play the ball, the vehicle 10 will stop at the edge of the path range 32 to wait, and send a warning signal to inform the user 1 that the vehicle 10 has been No longer follow; at this time, the user 1 can send a switch signal through the remote control device 40 to make the vehicle 10 move along the designated path range 32 in the control mode and move to the target point 33 of the next moving block 31, or The user 1 can return to the front of the carrier 10 again, so that the carrier 10 returns to the following mode, and follows the user 1 to move along the designated path range 32.
