Moreover, the hole which a golf player plays is good also as selecting automatically the hole of the present position vicinity based on the present position calculated using GPS.

1. Golf Club Selection Support Process An example of the procedure of the golf club selection support process will be described with reference to FIG. This golf club selection support process is executed at each hole of the golf course.

  First, the information processing unit 12 calculates the distance from the current position of the golf player to the reference position on the green (step S101). The reference position on the green can be arbitrarily selected by the golf player from, for example, the green center, the front edge of the green, and the cup position on the green. The position of the green center and the position of the front edge of the green are registered in advance in the golf play support server 20 and are included in the course layout information. Since the cup position on the green is usually changed every day, for example, it is set by inputting or acquiring before the golf player starts playing.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 refers to the golf club information recorded in the storage unit 13 and selects a golf club that matches the distance calculated in step S101 (step S102). As conditions for selecting a golf club, there are the following two conditions (1) and (2). The golf player can arbitrarily set one of the two conditions and change it at any time.

  Condition (1): A golf club corresponding to a flight distance closest to the distance calculated in step S101 is selected. This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. In FIG. 5, the distance from the current position CP of the golf player to the reference position GP on the green is “323y”. In this case, the flight distance closest to “323y” among the flight distances of the golf club information of FIG. 2 is “230y”. Therefore, “1W” recorded in association with “230y” is selected.

  Condition (2): A golf club corresponding to the longest flight distance among the flight distances equal to or less than the distance calculated in step S101 is selected. This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. In FIG. 5, the distance from the current position CP of the golf player to the reference position GP on the green is “323y”. In this case, among the flight distances of the golf club information in FIG. 2, the largest flight distance below “323y” is “230y”. Therefore, “1W” recorded in association with “230y” is selected.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 calculates the ratio of the distance from the current position of the golf player to the reference position on the green with respect to the flight distance of the golf club selected in Step S102 (Step S103). In FIG. 5, “140%” is calculated as the ratio of the distance “323y” from the current position CP of the golf player to the reference position GP on the green with respect to the flight distance “230y” of the selected golf club.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 displays the golf club selected in step S102 and the ratio calculated in step S103 on the course layout screen of the golf course corresponding to the current position of the golf player (step S104). . In FIG. 5, a frame indicating that the selected golf club is “1 W” and the calculated ratio is “140%” on the “3H” course layout screen of the golf course corresponding to the current position of the golf player. A is displayed. The display content in the frame A indicates that when the golf player's current position CP is aimed at the reference position GP on the green using “1W”, if the flying distance of 140% of the flying distance of “1W” is obtained, This indicates that the golf ball can reach the reference position GP.

  Subsequently, when the golf player designates the target position for the next shot, the information processing unit 12 determines the distance from the current position of the golf player to the target position for the next shot and the target position from the next hit to the reference position on the green. The distance is calculated (step S105). As shown in FIG. 5, the target position TP of the next hit can be arbitrarily designated by moving the golf player while touching the pointer TP on the course layout.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 refers to the golf club information stored in the storage unit 13 and selects a golf club suitable for each distance calculated in step S105 (step S106). The conditions for selecting a golf club are the same as the above two conditions (1) and (2).

  Here, referring to FIG. 5, the processing for selecting a golf club that matches the distance from the target position TP of the next shot to the reference position GP on the green is performed for each of the above two conditions (1) and (2). This will be described in detail.

  Condition (1): A golf club corresponding to a flight distance closest to the distance from the target position TP calculated in step S105 to the reference position GP is selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the distance from the target position TP for the next shot to the reference position GP on the green is “146y”. Therefore, the information processing unit 12 selects “7I” recorded in association with “148y” that is the closest flight distance to “146y” among the flight distances of the golf club information of FIG.

  Condition (2): A golf club corresponding to the longest flight distance among the flight distances equal to or less than the distance from the target position TP calculated in step S105 to the reference position GP is selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the distance from the target position TP for the next shot to the reference position GP on the green is “146y”. Therefore, the information processing unit 12 selects “8I” recorded in association with “134y” which is the longest flight distance of “146y” or less among the flight distances of the golf club information of FIG. As a condition, a golf club corresponding to the shortest flight distance may be selected among the flight distances equal to or greater than the calculated target position TP to the reference position GP. For example, when the distance from the target position TP of the next shot to the reference position GP on the green is “146y”, “7I” recorded in association with “148y” which is the minimum flight distance of “146y” or more. Select.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 compares the ratio of the distance from the current position of the golf player to the target position of the next hit to the flight distance of each golf club selected in step S106 and the target position of the next hit on the green. The ratio of the distance to the reference position is calculated (step S107). In FIG. 5, “100%” is calculated as the ratio of the distance “230y” from the current position CP of the golf player to the target position TP of the next hit with respect to the flight distance “230y” of the selected golf club. As a ratio of the distance “146y” from the target position TP of the next hit to the reference position GP on the green with respect to the flying distance “148y” of the golf club, “99%” is calculated.

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 12 displays the golf club selected in step S106 and the ratio calculated in step S107 on the course layout screen of the golf course corresponding to the current position of the golf player (step S107). S108). In FIG. 5, a frame indicating that the selected golf club is “1W” and the calculated ratio is “100%” on the “3H” course layout screen of the golf course corresponding to the current position of the golf player. B and a frame C indicating that the selected golf club is “7I” and the calculated ratio is “99%” are displayed.

  When the target content TP of the next hit is aimed at the target position TP of the next hit using “1W” from the current position CP of the golf player, the display contents of the frame B and the frame C are as follows: When the golf ball can reach the target position TP of the next hit and aiming at the reference position GP on the green using “7I” from the target position TP of the next hit, 99% of the flight distance of “7I” If the flight distance is given, it indicates that the golf ball can reach the reference position GP on the green.

2. Point Registration Process This point registration process is executed at each hole of the golf course, as in the above-described golf club selection support process.

  The information processing unit 12 performs spot registration according to the operation instruction of the golf player. As an operation instruction of the golf player, for example, tapping a point registration button provided on the course layout screen is applicable.

  Each time the location registration button is tapped, the information processing unit 12 counts up the number of hits for each hole and registers the current position of the golf player in association with the number of hits. The current position includes latitude, longitude, and altitude.

  When the current position of the first hit of the golf player is registered in a hole other than the short hole, and the information processing unit 12 detects a point registration instruction for the second hit, the information processing unit 12 The distance between the current position and the current position of the second shot is registered as the driving distance in the hole.

  In addition, the distance between the points to register is not limited to driving distance. It is good also as registering the distance between points in the number of continuous hits in the same hole.

  When the information processing unit 12 accepts an input of a point registration instruction for the second shot in a hole other than a short hole, the information processing unit 12 displays an input area for registering that the fairway is kept on the acceptance screen, Records whether or not the fairway is kept according to the input status. Whether or not the fairway has been kept is recorded in association with the location registration contents of the second shot.

  Further, the information processing unit 12 accumulates the current position of the golf player periodically or for each operation instruction of the golf player, and transmits the altitude included in the current position to the golf play support server 20 as the altitude information.

  As described above, according to the terminal device 10 in the embodiment, it is presented to the golf player based on the distance from the current position of the golf player to the reference position on the green and the preset flight distance for each golf club. The golf club to be selected is calculated, and the ratio of the distance from the current position of the golf player to the reference position on the green with respect to the flight distance of the selected golf club is calculated, and then the selected golf club and the calculated ratio are calculated. It can be displayed on the layout screen.

  Further, the distance from the current position of the golf player to the target position arbitrarily input by the golf player and the distance from the target position to the reference position on the green are calculated, and the calculated respective distances, Based on the flight distance for each golf club, the golf club to be presented to the golf player is selected from the current position of the golf player to the target position, and from the target position to the reference position on the green, respectively, Calculate the ratio of the distance from the current position to the target position and the ratio of the distance from the target position to the reference position on the green to the flight distance of the golf club, and then calculate each selected golf club.
