Abstract

A golf aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram includes a processor, a screen, an input mechanism, a memory, a GPS module, and a software program stored in the memory. The software program can achieve the following functions: displaying a golf course on the screen; displaying a plurality of specific-point diagrams from which a user can choose a specific-point diagram; and recording the current coordinates and generating a correspondence between the current coordinates and the set specific-point diagram, and displaying the set specific-point diagram on the golf course on the screen.

Claims

1. A golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram, capable of being carried by a user, the golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram comprising:

a processor;

a screen, electronically connected to the processor;

an input mechanism, electronically connected to the processor;

a global positioning system (GPS) module, electronically connected to the processor, used for obtaining a current coordinate position of the golf-aiding device; and

a memory, electronically connected to the processor, wherein the memory is stored with a software program, wherein the software program comprises;

a golf course display interface, used for displaying at least one golf course diagram on the screen, wherein the golf course diagram corresponds to a coordinate system;

a specific-point setting interface, used for displaying a plurality of different specific-point diagrams from which the user can choose a specific-point diagram; and

a specific-point diagram processing code, used for recording the current coordinate position and generating a correspondence between the current coordinate position and the setting specific-point diagram.

2. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 1, wherein the golf course display interface further comprises a distance display area used for displaying a distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

3. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 2, wherein the specific-point diagram processing code further displays the setting specific-point diagram on the golf course diagram according to the coordinate system.

4. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 3, wherein the distance display area is in either the left side or the right side of the golf course diagram.

5. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 4, wherein an indication line is set between each set specific-point diagram and each of the corresponding distance values is displayed on the distance display area.

6. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 5, wherein the golf course display interface is further used for displaying a user walking track.

7. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 5, wherein the software program further comprises a specific-point position setting interface, where the specific-point position setting interface comprises a left field, a center field, a right field, and a distance field, such that the user can place the set specific-point diagram in the left field, the center field, or the right field by means of manipulating the input mechanism, and the distance field can be used for displaying the distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

8. The golf-aiding device with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 1, wherein the software program further comprises a specific-point position setting interface, where the specific-point position setting interface comprises a left field, a center field, a right field, and a distance field, such that the user can put the set specific-point diagram in the left field, the center field or the right field by means of manipulating the input mechanism, and the distance field can be used for displaying the distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

9. A golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram, used in a golf-aiding device, the method comprising:

constantly recording a current coordinate position of the golf-aiding device;

displaying at least one golf course diagram on a screen;

receiving a signal for activating a specific-point setting;

displaying a plurality of different specific-point diagrams;

receiving a set specific-point diagram, wherein the set specific-point diagram is selected from the plurality of different specific-point diagrams; and

generating a correspondence between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

10. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

displaying a distance area when displaying the golf course diagram, wherein the distance area is used for displaying a distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

11. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 10 further comprising:

displaying the set specific-point diagram on the golf course diagram after receiving the set specific-point diagram.

12. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 11, wherein an indication line is set between the displayed distance value of the current coordinate position and each set specific-point diagram.

13. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 12 further comprising:

displaying a user walking track when displaying the golf course diagram, wherein the user walking track is formed according to previously-recorded current coordinate positions.

14. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 13 further comprising:

displaying a specific-point position setting interface, wherein the specific-point position setting interface comprises a left field, a center field, a right field, and a distance field, such that the set specific-point diagram can be placed in the left field, the center field, or the right field, and the distance field can be used for displaying the distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.

15. The golf-aiding method with a function of setting a specific-point diagram as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

displaying a specific-point position setting interface, wherein the specific-point position setting interface comprises a left field, a center field, a right field, and a distance field, such that the set specific-point diagram can be placed in the left field, the center field, or the right field, and the distance field can be used for displaying the distance value between the current coordinate position and the set specific-point diagram.
