    摘要: A personal golfing assistant system is comprised of software running on a PDA attached directly or remotely to a GPS receiver that enables the user to survey and/or electronically capture geophysical golf data. A handheld device connected to or integrated with a GPS receiver can instead be used. Software allows a golfer to use a handheld PDA/GPS unit during the course of play to mark a ball location automatically and/or determine the distance to golf course targets and/or objects, and to analyze golf related data and generate statistics. The system can send a set of parameters tailored for a specific course to a real time tunable GPS to adjust for optimal performance and can adjust measurements to compensate for environmental condition changes. The system provides an improved graphical method for measuring and displaying distances between a golfer and a golf course object, for displaying multiple measured distances along a line of sight between a golfer and a golf object or target, and for orienting a target or object on a display to coincide with a user's line of sight. There is also provided a method for collecting and uploading golf course geographic information services (GIS) data to an internet accessible server, processing the uploaded data, distributing data upon an authorized user request, and downloading the requested data to an electronic device.

    摘要: The present application relates to the use of the vertical blanking interval (“VBI”) to broadband communications including digital data transmission on the VBI or for a dual VBI/PCS System Capable of enhancing rapid deployment of wireless VBI communications or PCS services to a remote transceiver where no or marginally profitable infrastructure exists. Specifically, the present invention provides a wireless digital communication system having a broadcast interface for encoding message information on the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of a video signal, the message information is encoded to a VBI format so as to form a pre-formatted signal. A broadcast device for transmitting an out-going signal having the pre-formatted signal modulated or otherwise embedded in the VBI of the video signal. The pre-formatted signal is received from the broadcast interface and is transmitted on a carrier of the out-going signal. At least one transceiver exists for receiving the out-going signal and for transmitting a return signal on the carrier of the out-going signal, the transceiver detects clock information relating to the synchronization bits of the broadcast and further includes a decoder for identifying the pre-formatted signal from the out-going signal so as to allow for the decoding of the message information and for displaying such message information to a user of the transceiver; an input device for inputting return message information; an encoding device for encoding the return message information; and a VBI modulating device for modulation or otherwise inserting the return signal on the out-going signal of the broadcast. The present invention further includes an antenna means for detecting the return signal that is supplied to a return signal processor (RSP). The RSP detects the return signal from the carrier of the out-going signal of the broadcast and a message rocessor (MESP) decodes the message information from the return signal. The MESP is adapted to transmit the message information to public or private communications networks or public switches.
