US12276483 - Monocular scope attachment device displaying virtual shooting targets

Shooting scopes displaying virtual shooting targets are envisaged. When a virtual shooting target is visualized and shot using the shooting scope attached to a firearm, a pre-programmed computer-based processing element cooperating with the shooting scope determines a theoretical gunshot trajectory based on the position and orientation of the firearm. The processing element correlates the theoretical gunshot trajectory with the information indicative of the positioning of the virtual shooting target and thereby determines the accuracy with which the virtual gunshot was fired. The processing element also determines the shooter's consistency based on the proximity between the points of impact for a predetermined number of shots fired by the shooter and the center of the virtual shooting target. Based on the shooter's accuracy and consistency, the complexity associated with the virtual shooting targets are varied, and such virtual shooting targets having varying complexities are presented to the shooter for target shooting practice.

The patent describes a monocular scope attachment for firearms that allows users to visualize and shoot at virtual targets, utilizing a computer-based device to generate and display a three-dimensional image of the target. The system adjusts the complexity of the virtual targets based on the shooter’s accuracy and consistency, enhancing target shooting practice through real-time modifications.

Claim 1

A monocular scope attachment device configured to be removably attached onto a firearm accessible to a user, said monocular scope attachment device configured to enable said user to visualize and shoot at least one virtual shooting target emplaced within a virtual target-shooting environment, said monocular scope attachment device comprising: a recess defined thereon, said recess configured to removably receive a computer-based device embedded with a processor and a user interface, said computer-based device configured, by predetermined computer-readable instructions executed by said processor, to: generate a three-dimensional image of said virtual shooting target, and trigger a display of said image of said virtual shooting target on said user interface, and render said user interface and said image displayed thereon viewable through said default rifle scope; selectively and programmatically redefine said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, by programmatically introducing said plurality of virtual adjustable parameters into said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, and thereby programmatically modify a manner in which said user visualizes and shoots at said virtual shooting target displayed as a re-defined image on said user interface; and dynamically and iteratively adjust at least some of said virtual adjustable parameters in real-time during when said user is visualizing said virtual shooting target through said monocular scope attachment device, based on at least one of an accuracy and consistency previously exhibited by said user in shooting at least said image of said virtual shooting target and said re-defined image of said virtual shooting target. a recess defined thereon, said recess configured to removably receive a computer-based device embedded with a processor and a user interface, said computer-based device configured, by predetermined computer-readable instructions executed by said processor, to: generate a three-dimensional image of said virtual shooting target, and trigger a display of said image of said virtual shooting target on said user interface, and render said user interface and said image displayed thereon viewable through said default rifle scope; selectively and programmatically redefine said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, by programmatically introducing said plurality of virtual adjustable parameters into said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, and thereby programmatically modify a manner in which said user visualizes and shoots at said virtual shooting target displayed as a re-defined image on said user interface; and dynamically and iteratively adjust at least some of said virtual adjustable parameters in real-time during when said user is visualizing said virtual shooting target through said monocular scope attachment device, based on at least one of an accuracy and consistency previously exhibited by said user in shooting at least said image of said virtual shooting target and said re-defined image of said virtual shooting target. generate a three-dimensional image of said virtual shooting target, and trigger a display of said image of said virtual shooting target on said user interface, and render said user interface and said image displayed thereon viewable through said default rifle scope; selectively and programmatically redefine said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, by programmatically introducing said plurality of virtual adjustable parameters into said image of said virtual shooting target displayed on said user interface, and thereby programmatically modify a manner in which said user visualizes and shoots at said virtual shooting target displayed as a re-defined image on said user interface; and dynamically and iteratively adjust at least some of said virtual adjustable parameters in real-time during when said user is visualizing said virtual shooting target through said monocular scope attachment device, based on at least one of an accuracy and consistency previously exhibited by said user in shooting at least said image of said virtual shooting target and said re-defined image of said virtual shooting target.
