Abstract

Included are systems and methods for providing data. At least one embodiment of a method includes providing, by a user device, a user interface configured to receive golf scoring data from a user, the user interface including a default score based on predetermined data related to past performance; receiving a first piece of golf scoring data from the user; determining, from the received first piece of golf scoring data, a second piece of golf scoring data; and storing the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising:

providing, by a mobile computing device with a touchscreen and an integrated camera, a user interface configured to receive golf scoring data from a user, the user interface including a default score based on predetermined data related to past performance;

capturing, via the integrated camera, an image of a golf scorecard;

converting, within the mobile computing device, the image of the golf scorecard into one or more items of scorecard data;

storing, within the mobile computing device, the scorecard data;

receiving, within the mobile computing device, a first piece of golf scoring data from the user in relation to the scorecard data,

determining, within the mobile computing device, from the received first piece of golf scoring data and from the scorecard data, a second piece of golf scoring data; and

storing, within the mobile computing device, the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data related to past performance includes at least one of the following: a previous score of the user on a golf hole, a first average score of the user on the golf hole, a second average score for a plurality of golfers on the golf hole, and a probable score of the user based on a golf handicap of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining club selection data with the mobile computing device based on at least one of the following: the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending with the mobile computing device to a server for storage, at least one of the following: the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is further configured to provide global position data.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving within the mobile computing device a third piece of golf scoring data, the third piece of golf scoring data including club selection data for a golf hole.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising recommending, via the mobile computing device, a golf club and a lay up position for a shot based upon the golf scoring data.

8. A system comprising:

a non-transitory memory component that stores at least the following:

a providing component configured to provide a user interface on a mobile computing device comprising an integrated camera, wherein the user interface is configured to receive golf scoring data from a user, the user interface including a default score based on predetermined data related to past performance;

a first receiving component configured to receive, via the integrated camera, an image of a golf scorecard comprising a first piece of golf scoring data from the user;

a first determining component configured to determine the first piece of golf scoring data from the image of the golf scorecard via textual analysis and further configured to determine a second piece of golf scoring data from the first piece of golf scoring data; and

a storing component configured to store the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined data related to past performance includes at least one of the following: a previous score of the user on a golf hole, a first average score of the user on the golf hole, a second average score for a plurality of golfers on the golf hole, and a probable score of the user based on a golf handicap of the user.

10. The system of claim 8 , the non-transitory memory component further storing a second determining component configured to determine club selection data based on at least one of the following: the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

11. The system of claim 8 , the non-transitory memory component further storing a sending component configured to send to a server for storage, at least one of the following: the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a global positioning component.

13. The system of claim 8 , the non-transitory memory component further storing a second receiving component configured to receive a third piece of golf scoring data, the third piece of golf scoring data including club selection data for a golf hole.

14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a recommendation component configured to recommend a golf club and a lay up position based upon the golf scoring data.

15. A system comprising:

means for providing a user interface configured to receive golf scoring data from a user, the user interface including a default score based on predetermined data related to past performance;

a mobile computing device with an integrated camera for receiving an image of a golf scorecard comprising a first piece of golf scoring data from the user;

means for determining the first piece of golf scoring data from the image of the golf scorecard via textual analysis;

means for determining, from the received first piece of golf scoring data, a second piece of golf scoring data; and

means for storing the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the predetermined data related to past performance includes at least one of the following: a previous score of the user on a golf hole, a first average score of the user on the golf hole, a second average score for a plurality of golfers on the golf hole, and a probable score of the user based on a golf handicap of the user.

17. The system of claim 15 , further comprising means for determining club selection data based on at least one of the following the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

18. The system of claim 15 , further comprising means for sending to a server for storage, at least one of the following: the first piece of golf scoring data and the second piece of golf scoring data.

19. The system of claim 15 , further comprising means for receiving a third piece of golf scoring data, the third piece of golf scoring data including club selection data for a golf hole.

20. The system of claim 15 , further comprising a means for recommending a golf club and a lay up position for a snot based upon the golf scoring data.
