The present invention relates to a device for inputting and controlling driving state information of a billiard ball for playing a billiard game in cyberspace and, more specifically, to a device for inputting and controlling driving state information of a billiard ball, in which an actual billiard ball is fixedly mounted on a standard table, wherein the billiard ball is mounted to be freely rotatable, and is hit by an actual billiard cue stick to receive the billiard ball's effecto information, rotation speed, and rotation direction, as well as driving state information for hitting strength and movement direction, and the received information is processed through driving state information processing software to display an image result reflecting the billiard ball's movement direction and movement amount on the actual billiard table, thereby making it possible to enjoy a billiard game in cyberspace as though a real game were being played.

No: 17/437157 Application Filed: November 27, 2019 Assignees: GO CUE INC. (Incheon, KR) Claim: 1. A billiard ball driving state information input and control device that measures and provides driving state information of a billiard ball in a cyber billiard game system (100) in which hitting information is received by hitting a billiard ball, the received hitting information is analyzed and processed by driving state information processing software, and the processed information is provided as an image through a screen display device, the billiard ball driving state information input and control device comprising: a hitting input device (20) including an actual billiard ball (21), which is hit with a cue stick as a hitting target, and a pocket configured to surround the billiard ball in the range of 180 to 200 degrees to prevent the billiard ball from being removed to a front side, wherein the pocket includes a plurality of spinning support protrusions (24) formed using ball bearings or hemispherical protrusions on an inner surface thereof so as to surround and support the billiard ball to be freely spinnable, the hitting input device (20) being configured to measure hitting information when the billiard ball is hit; a table fixing device (30) configured to fix the hitting input device (20) to the table such that the hitting input device (20) can be rotated and bent rearward; and a control unit (60) configured to: analyze and process driving state information, which is various measurement values measured by the hitting input device; provide the analyzed and processed driving state information as an image, wherein a manipulator (61) configured to perform manipulation to switch a position to see a billiard table and a billiard ball in the provided image is connected to the control unit; and execute various signal controls of the cyber billiard game system. Claim: 2. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein the hitting input device (20) includes: a plurality of impact sensors (23) mounted inside the pocket; and a rotation bar (27) extending to the lower portion of the pocket. Claim: 3. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 2 , wherein a billiard table cloth (25) is further laminated on an entire inner surface of the pocket (22) or the impact sensors (23) or the spinning support protrusions (24). Claim: 4. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein, in a front surface of the pocket (22) in which the billiard ball (21) is exposed, a billiard ball display region (213), which surrounds and covers the billiard ball, is painted or an auxiliary member is attached to the billiard ball display region so that an actual size of the billiard ball can be confirmed. Claim: 5. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein the pocket (22) is further equipped with a rotation measurement sensor (26) to receive information on a spinning direction and speed of the billiard ball among hitting information. Claim: 6. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein the table fixing device (30) includes: a horizontal rotation rod (31) integrally coupled to a lower end of the rotation bar of the hitting input device; a hanger (32) including a vertical bar portion (321) rotatably hinged to each of opposite sides of the horizontal rotation rod, a hook (322) formed at an upper end of the vertical bar portion to be engaged with a top surface of the table, and a vertical tightening hole (323) formed in a surface extending toward the table from a lower end of the vertical bar portion; and a tightening rod (33) coupled to the vertical tightening hole in the hanger and configured to press a bottom surface of the table by being raised and lowered. Claim: 7. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 6 , wherein the table fixing device (30) is further provided with a return device (34) configured to rotate the horizontal rotation rod (31) in order to return the hitting input device (20) bent rearward by hitting to an original position thereof. Claim: 8. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 7 , wherein the return device (34) is any one of a motor (341) gear-coupled to the horizontal rotation rod (31), a winding spring, a tension spring, and a weight. Claim: 9. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 6 , wherein the table fixing device (30) further includes, at an end of the horizontal rotation rod, a tilt sensor (35) configured to measure a rotation angle to receive information on a maximum tilt angle of the hitting input device (20) after hitting the billiard ball. Claim: 10. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 6 , further comprising: a terminal holder (40) on the hanger (32), wherein the terminal holder includes a “U”-shaped spacing adjustment stand (41) extending upward from the hook and opened to a lower side and a terminal mounting unit (42) installed in an upper center of the spacing adjustment stand. Claim: 11. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein the table (90) in front of the billiard ball (21) is further provided with a sensor pad (50) including a plurality of motion sensors (51) arranged in a plurality of rows thereon to detect a moving direction of an actual billiard cue stick when hitting the billiard ball. Claim: 12. The billiard ball driving state information input and control device of claim 1 , wherein the manipulator (61) of the control unit (60) includes a joystick or a terminal communication-connected to the control unit.
