Abstract

A golflinks operation-control system is comprised of at least one sensor placed at a required position along a cart route on a golfcourse in which an information on position is individually set and which can transmit the information on position within a given area, at least one cart which can patrols the cart route and which is provided with a receiver of the information on position and a transmitter of the sensor identification information received and a cart identification information set individually, and a control house which is provided with a receiver of the information on position and the cart identification information to detect a present position of the particular cart which is patrolling the golfcourse. The control house is characterized by comprising an instruction unit for instructing driving which can judge whether or not the particular cart and another cart are situated within a given distance on the basis of a cart identification information transmitted from another cart which is patrolling the cart route to obtain judgement results, and can perform instructions for permission or prohibition on driving to the particular cart on the basis of the judgement results. The particular cart is characterized by comprising an instruction unit for instructing driving which can judge, on the basis of a cart identification information transmitted from another cart which is patrolling the cart route and situated at least ahead of the particular cart, whether or not another cart is situated within a given distance from the particular cart to obtain judgement results, and can perform instructions for permission or prohibition on driving to the particular cart on the basis of the judgement results.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed as new and as desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the U.S. is:  
     
         1 . A golflinks operation-control system which is provided with; 
 at least one sensor placed at a required position along a cart route on a golfcourse in which an information on position is individually set and which can transmit said information on position within a given area, at least one cart which can patrols said cart route and which is provided with a receiving means for receiving said information on position and a transmitting means for transmitting said sensor identification information received and cart identification information set individually, and    a control house which is provided with a means for receiving said information on position and said cart identification information to detect a present position of said cart which is patrolling the golfcourse, wherein said control house is characterized by comprising a means for instructing driving which can judge whether or not said cart and said another cart are situated within a given distance on the basis of a cart identification information transmitted from another cart which is patrolling said cart route to obtain judgement results, and can perform instructions for permission or prohibition on driving to said cart on the basis of the judgement results.    
     
     
         2 . A golflinks operation-control system described in    claim 1   , characterized in that an actuation of said means for instructing driving is constructed so as to be selected in said control house.  
     
     
         3 . A golflinks operation-control system described in    claim 1   , characterized in that said means for instructing driving is constructed so as to be actuated on the basis of a control signal transmitted from said cart.  
     
     
         4 . A golflinks operation-control system which is provided with; 
 at least one sensor placed at a required position along a cart route on a golfcourse in which an information on position is individually set and which can transmit said information on position within a given area, at least one cart which can patrols said cart route and which is provided with a receiving means for receiving said information on position and a transmitting means for transmitting said sensor identification information received and cart identification information set individually, and    a control house which is provided with a means for receiving said information on position and said cart identification information to detect a present position of said cart which is patrolling the golfcourse, wherein said cart is characterized by comprising a means for instructing driving which can judge, on the basis of a cart identification information transmitted from another cart which is patrolling said cart route and situated at least ahead of said cart, whether or not said another cart is situated within a given distance from said cart to obtain judgement results, and can perform instructions for permission or prohibition on driving to said cart on the basis of the judgement results.    
     
     
         5 . A golflinks operation-control system described in    claim 4   , characterized in that an actuation of said means for instructing driving is constructed so as to be selected independently in said cart.  
     
     
         6 . A golflinks operation-control system described in    claim 4   , characterized in that said means for instructing driving is constructed so as to be actuated on the basis of a control signal transmitted from said control house.
