Firearm Camera Assembly for Ballistic Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing firearm shot tracking systems lack a camera module attached below the barrel or on top of the firearm's sights to record and transmit ballistic information to a remote device efficiently and economically.
Innovation Solution
A camera assembly is attached to the bottom side of a firearm, equipped with a lens shutter, flashlight, and an attaching member, which includes a Bluetooth system for real-time data transmission to a remote device, allowing stable recording and tracking of ballistic data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a camera module is attached to the firearm to record and transmit ballistic information, then shot tracking capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: a camera module attached to the firearm for recording ballistic information, a Bluetooth system for wireless transmission, and a remote device for receiving and displaying data. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The Bluetooth system acts as an intermediary between the camera module and the remote device, enabling wireless communication without requiring direct physical connections. This mediator simplifies the interface requirements and reduces the complexity of data transmission infrastructure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing firearm tracking systems with multiple features are implemented, then functionality is improved, but manufacturing cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential features needed for shot tracking: a camera for recording ballistic information and a Bluetooth system for transmission. Non-essential features found in existing systems are removed, resulting in a simpler, more cost-effective solution that maintains core functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses commercially available, inexpensive components such as standard cameras and Bluetooth modules rather than custom-engineered expensive parts. This approach prioritizes cost-effectiveness while achieving the required tracking functionality through readily available technology.
