发明名称 OPTO-ELECTRIC GOLF CLUB SWING SENSING SYSTEM HAVING VERTICALLY OFFSET SENSORS
摘要 This invention is a video golf swing sensing system (10) responsive to a user swinging a golf club (24) that provides inputs to a video golf game operating on a personal computer having a monitor (14), a microprocessor (12), and a serial port. The sensing system is mounted on a pad (20) and includes linear arrays of photodetectors and LED for detecting a club head parameter by sensing light reflected off the club head (26). A micro-controller processes the parameter data into a form required by the personal computer. An input cable (36) coupled between an output of the micro-controller and the serial port transmits the information to the personal computer to provide the golf game information to determine a corresponding ball path in the video game. The arrays are recessed beneath a shield to facilitate reflection of light from the sources to the detectors within openings in the shield while excluding external light.
