Personal golfing assistant and method and system for graphically displaying golf related information and for collection, processing and distribution of golf related data
DCFirst Claim
1. A handheld apparatus for displaying a graphic representation of a golf course, comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
determine location information corresponding to a location of the handheld apparatus;
store location information corresponding to each of a plurality of features of the golf course;
retrieve a subset of the plurality of features of the golf course based on the determined location information; and
control a display to display a graphic representation of the retrieved subset of the plurality of features of the golf course, whereinthe circuitry is configured to control the display to display a line on the graphic representation extending from a first point of a hole to at least a second point of the hole, andthe circuitry is configured to control the display to display a distance from a point on the line to at least a first intersection point of at least one of the subset of the plurality of features when the at least one of the subset of the plurality of features intersects the line.

Abstract
A handheld apparatus for displaying a graphic representation of a golf course. The handheld apparatus including a location measuring device that generates location information corresponding to a location of the handheld apparatus; a memory that stores location information corresponding to each of a plurality of features of the golf course; a computing device connected to the location measuring device and the memory that retrieves a subset of the plurality of features of the golf course based on the measured location information generated by the location measuring device; and a display connected to the computing device that displays a graphic representation of the retrieved subset of the plurality of features of the golf course.

12. A method performed by a handheld device for displaying a graphic representation of a golf course, comprising:
-
determining, by circuitry of the handheld device, location information corresponding to a location of the handheld apparatus; storing, by the circuitry, location information corresponding to each of a plurality of features of the golf course; retrieving, by the circuitry, a subset of the plurality of features of the golf course based on the determined location information; and displaying, by a display of the handheld device, a graphic representation of the retrieved subset of the plurality of features of the golf course, wherein the displaying includes displaying a line on the graphic representation extending from a first point of a hole to at least a second point of a hole, and displaying a distance from a point on the line to at least a first intersection point of at least one of the subset of the plurality of features when the at least one of the subset of the plurality of features intersects the line.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by a handheld device for displaying a graphic representation of a golf course, causes the handheld device to:
-
determine location information corresponding to a location of the handheld apparatus; store location information corresponding to each of a plurality of features of the golf course; retrieve a subset of the plurality of features of the golf course based on the determined location information; and display a graphic representation of the retrieved subset of the plurality of features of the golf course, wherein the displaying includes displaying a line on the graphic representation extending from a first point of a hole to at least a second point of a hole, and displaying a distance from a point on the line to at least a first intersection point of at least one of the subset of the plurality of features when the at least one of the subset of the plurality of features intersects the line.
