Abstract

Disclosed are a laser golf putter equipped with a power saving module and a method for reducing power thereof. The laser golf putter includes a golf putter (100) equipped with a putter head (10) at the bottom of a putter shaft, a laser pointer (20) provided in the putter head (10) to emit a laser beam (R1) not identified with a naked eye, a golf ball sensor (30) provided in the putter head (10) to detect a golf ball (40) in front of the putter head, and a switching controller (230) configured to control the driving of the laser pointer (20) in response to the detection of the golf ball sensor (30). The switching controller (230) turns off the laser pointer (20) after a lapse of a set time in a state in which the laser pointer is an ON state when the golf ball (40) is identified.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A laser golf putter equipped with a power saving module, comprising:
 a golf putter equipped with a putter head at a bottom of a putter shaft;   a laser pointer provided in the putter head to emit a laser beam not identified with a naked eye;   a golf ball sensor provided in the putter head to detect a golf ball in front of the putter head; and   a switching controller configured to control a driving of the laser pointer in response to the detection of the golf ball sensor,   wherein the switching controller turns off the laser pointer after a lapse of a set time in a state in which the laser pointer is an ON state when the golf ball is identified.   
     
     
         2 . The laser golf putter of  claim 1 , wherein the laser pointer is configured to indicate a first point when the laser beam reaches a center of a top of the golf ball and simultaneously indicates a second point when the laser beam reaches a target of the golf ball or a ground in a moving path of the golf ball. 
     
     
         3 . The laser golf putter of  claim 1 , wherein the golf ball sensor detects the golf ball based on a spherical shape of the golf ball or a color of the golf ball. 
     
     
         4 . The laser golf putter of  claim 1 , wherein the laser pointer and the golf ball sensor are disposed in a middle of the putter head. 
     
     
         5 . The laser golf putter of  claim 1 , further comprising a user manipulation switch provided in a given part of the golf putter to supply or stop power to the laser pointer, the golf ball sensor and the switching controller. 
     
     
         6 . A method of reducing power of a laser golf putter equipped with a power saving module, the method comprising:
 a start step of supplying, by a golfer, power to a golf ball sensor and a laser pointer provided in a golf putter by turning on a switch provided in the golf putter;   a golf ball sensing step of detecting, by the golf ball sensor, whether a golf ball is positioned in front of a putter head; and   a laser pointer ON step of emitting a laser beam by turning on the laser pointer when the golf ball is detected in the golf ball sensing step,   wherein the laser beam is not identified with a naked eye until the laser beam implements a point.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the laser pointer is configured to indicate a first point when the laser beam reaches a center of a top of the golf ball and simultaneously indicates a second point when the laser beam reaches a target of the golf ball or a ground in a moving path of the golf ball. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a time check step of counting a time after the laser pointer ON step, comparing the counted time with a preset time, and maintaining the laser pointer ON step if the counted time is smaller than the preset time; and   a laser pointer OFF step of stopping the emission of the laser beam by turning off the laser pointer when the counted time exceeds the preset time in the time check step.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising an end step of counting a time in the golf ball sensing step, comparing the counted time with a preset time, and stopping the power supplied to the golf ball sensor and the laser pointer when the counted time exceeds the preset time. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the golf ball sensing step comprises identifying a spherical shape the golf ball or a color of the golf ball.
