US12281882 - System and method for the management of a clay shooting session
The patent describes a system for managing clay shooting sessions that includes a user interface with buttons for missed targets, second barrel shots, and no-target commands, which interact with hardware and software control means. The system is designed to store and analyze shot data, ensuring that repeated shots are accurately identified based on user inputs and voice commands.
Claim 1
- A system for managing a clay shooting session, the system comprising hardware and software control means and a user interface operatively connected to said hardware and software control means, wherein the user interface comprises a plurality of user buttons operable by a user following execution of a shot, said plurality of user buttons comprising a first button for a missed clay target, a second button for a second barrel shot taken, and a third button for a no-target, wherein the hardware and software control means are configured to: receive button signals operated by respective user buttons, receive a voice command signal from a voice command detection device, receive a shot taken signal, control release of a clay target, and store a data set relating to a shot taken, wherein, in the event of pressing the third button for a no-target, the hardware and software control means are further configured to: check whether the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target includes at least one of: data relating to the shot taken signal, data relating to pressing the second button for the second barrel shot taken, data relating to pressing the first button for the missed clay target; if not, the hardware and software control means are programmed to overwrite the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target with the data set relating to the shot after the third button for the no-target is pressed; if so, the hardware and software control means are programmed to keep the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target and identify as a repeated shot the data set relating to the shot after the third button for the no-target is pressed. receive button signals operated by respective user buttons, receive a voice command signal from a voice command detection device, receive a shot taken signal, control release of a clay target, and store a data set relating to a shot taken, wherein, in the event of pressing the third button for a no-target, the hardware and software control means are further configured to: check whether the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target includes at least one of: data relating to the shot taken signal, data relating to pressing the second button for the second barrel shot taken, data relating to pressing the first button for the missed clay target; if not, the hardware and software control means are programmed to overwrite the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target with the data set relating to the shot after the third button for the no-target is pressed; if so, the hardware and software control means are programmed to keep the data set stored before pressing the third button for the no-target and identify as a repeated shot the data set relating to the shot after the third button for the no-target is pressed.
