Apparatus for providing terrain information on green and method for providing terrain information on green
Proposed herein are an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green and a method for providing terrain information on a green. According to one embodiment, there is proposed an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the apparatus including: a simulation processor configured to display a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and a guide processor configured to display a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green.
1 . An apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the apparatus comprising:
a simulation processor configured to display a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and
a guide processor configured to display a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green,
wherein the guide processor displays a break point on the guide path, and selects a point that is farthest from a virtual line connecting the hole cup and the first ball as the break point.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the guide processor displays the break point on the guide path, and, when identifying a plurality of break points on the guide path, displays at least one of the plurality of break points based on a predetermined condition.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the guide processor displays the guide path, and displays the guide path after changing at least one of a shape and color of the guide path according to a change in terrain on the guide path.
4 . An apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the apparatus comprising:
a simulation processor configured to display a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and
a guide processor configured to display a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green,
wherein the guide processor is configured to display a second ball moving from the first ball toward the hole cup along the guide path, identify, at predetermined time intervals, a point where the second ball was located, and display a marker image at the identified point.
5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the guide processor is configured to display a plurality of marker images, and to provide a motion in which a color of the guide path changes according to a change in height from one marker image to a subsequent marker image.
6 . A method for providing terrain information on a green, the method being performed by an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the method comprising:
displaying a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and
displaying a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green, wherein displaying the guide path further comprises displaying a break point on the guide path and selecting a point that is farthest from a virtual line connecting the hole cup and the first ball as the break point.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the guide path further comprises displaying the break point on the guide path and, when identifying a plurality of break points on the guide path, displaying at least one of the plurality of break points based on a predetermined condition.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the guide path further comprises displaying the guide path and displaying the guide path after changing at least one of a shape and color of the guide path according to a change in terrain on the guide path.
9 . A method for providing terrain information on a green, the method being performed by an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the method comprising:
displaying a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and
displaying a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green,
wherein displaying the guide path further comprises displaying a second ball moving from the first ball toward the hole cup along the guide path, identifying, at predetermined time intervals, a point where the second ball was located, and displaying marker images at the identified point.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the guide path further comprises displaying a plurality of marker images, and providing a motion in which a color of the guide path changes according to a change in height from one marker image to a subsequent marker image.
