Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sighting devices do not adequately address safety concerns, particularly in low-light conditions, leading to potential accidental harm to humans, and are not suitable for military use due to lack of safety warnings.

Innovation Solution

A sighting control method based on human detection that includes acquiring a current scene image, determining if a human target is aimed at, detecting a shooting action, and controlling the device to self-destruct if a human target is detected during a shooting action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a sighting device is added to shooting equipment to improve aiming accuracy, then shooting accuracy is improved, but safety risks increase due to potential accidental shooting at humans

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting accuracyVSAvoidsafety risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary anti-action by detecting human targets before shooting occurs and triggering a self-destruct mechanism to prevent harmful shooting actions. The human detection function identifies potential targets in advance, and the self-destruct mechanism is prepared to counteract any unauthorized shooting attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The sighting device acts as an intermediary between the shooter and the target, inserting a safety layer that detects human presence and can disable the shooting function. This intermediary component monitors the shooting process and can intervene to prevent harmful actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If a sighting device without safety warnings is used, then the device complexity is low, but the safety of shooting equipment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidsafety of shooting equipment
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by detecting human targets before shooting occurs and disabling the device in advance to prevent harmful actions. The human detection and self-destruct mechanisms are activated beforehand to ensure safety before any shooting can take place.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the sighting device enables civilian use only through safety mechanisms, then safety is improved, but the adaptability of the device deteriorates as it cannot support military use

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by implementing safety functions specifically targeted at human detection and civilian protection, while leaving other shooting functions potentially available. The safety mechanism is localized to human target detection rather than completely restricting all shooting capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The application provides a sighting control method based on human detection, a product, a device and a medium. The sighting control method based on human detection includes: acquiring a current scene image in a current field of view of a sighting device; determining whether there is a human target currently being aimed according to a target recognition result of the current scene image and the position of an aiming mark in the current scene image; detecting whether a shooting action occurs if it is determined that there is a target human currently being aimed at; and controlling the sighting device to self-destroy if a shooting action occurs.
