Abstract

Provided are a system for real-time analysis of a golf swing motion on a golf club and an operating method thereof. More particularly, the operating method of the system for real-time analysis of a golf swing motion on a golf club includes: automatically identifying information of a golf club to be used by a user using a club identification circuit attached to the golf club (S100); sensing swing information by sensing a motion of the golf club (S200); analyzing the swing motion of the user using the information of the golf club identified in the identifying of the information of the golf club (S100) and the swing information sensed in the sensing of the swing (S200) (S300); and feeding back analysis results of the swing motion analyzed in the analyzing of the swing motion (S300) to a user terminal in real time (S400).

Claims

1. A system for real-time analysis of a golf swing motion on a golf club, comprising:

a club identification unit that identifies information of the golf club and is mounted on a golf club;

a swing sensing unit that senses swing information according to a swing motion of a user and is mounted in the golf club; and

a user terminal that analyzes the swing information of the user received by the swing sensing unit in real time and feedbacks the analyzed swing information to a user.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the club identification unit includes:

a club number display unit that represents a number of the golf club directly identified by the user; and

a club identification circuit unit that automatically identifies the information of the golf club chosen by the user.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the swing sensing unit includes:

a club information receiving unit that receives the information of the golf club identified by the club identification circuit unit;

a sensor unit that senses swing information of the golf club;

a control unit that analyzes the swing information sensed by the sensor unit;

a transmitting unit that transmits the information of the golf club received by the club information receiving unit and the swing information analyzed by the control unit to the user terminal; and

a power supply unit that supplies power to the swing sensing unit.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the club identification unit and the swing sensing unit are mounted on an upper portion of a grip of the golf club.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the sensor unit includes:

a first sensor that senses a rotation speed of the golf club; and

a second sensor that senses a rotation direction of the golf club.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the user terminal includes:

a receiving unit that receives the swing information from the transmitting unit of the swing sensing unit and the information of the golf club;

a memory unit that stores the received swing information and information of the golf club;

a swing analysis unit that analyzes the swing motion of the user using the swing information and the information of the golf club that are stored in the memory unit;

a voice guide unit that guides the swing motion analyzed by the swing analysis unit to the user by voice in real time; and

a display unit that monitors the swing motion analyzed by the swing analysis unit.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the voice guide unit includes:

a user setting unit that receives a desired tolerance range of the swing motion from the user;

an error analysis unit that compares the swing motions analyzed by the swing analysis unit using the tolerance range received by the user setting unit- to analyze an error degree; and

a voice providing unit that transmits results analyzed by the error analysis unit to the user by voice.

8. An operating method of a system for real-time analysis of a golf swing motion on a golf club, comprising:

automatically identifying information of a golf club to be used by a user using a club identification circuit attached to the golf club;

sensing swing information by sensing a motion of the golf club;

analyzing the swing motion of the user using the information of the golf club identified in the identifying of the information of the golf club and the swing information sensed in the sensing of the swing; and

feeding back analysis results of the swing motion analyzed in the analyzing of the swing motion to a user terminal in real time.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the feeding back includes:

guiding voice to provide the analysis results of the swing motion analyzed in the analyzing of the swing motion by voice in real time through the user terminal; and

displaying the analysis results of the swing motion analyzed in the analyzing of the swing motion in real time through the user terminal.
