Real Time Aiming Assembly with Integrated Eyewear Sensors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aiming devices for firearms lack precision in projecting the aiming point directly onto the user's line of sight, particularly when using eyewear, leading to potential inaccuracies in targeting.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a firearm motion sensor into the firearm and a glasses motion sensor into eyewear, both calibrated to determine the firing and viewing axes respectively, with a display unit in the eyewear projecting a dot onto the lens to indicate the precise impact point of the bullet, utilizing sensors, accelerometers, and transceivers for real-time data communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional optics or sights are used for aiming, then the device structure is simple, but the precision of projecting the aiming point onto the user's line of sight deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the firearm, eyewear, and display unit into an integrated aiming system. The firearm motion sensor, glasses motion sensor, and display unit work together as a unified system to project the aiming point onto the user's line of sight through the eyewear lenses, achieving precise aiming without conventional optics
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces conventional mechanical optics and sights with an electronic system consisting of motion sensors, transceivers, and a display unit. The firearm motion sensor and glasses motion sensor use accelerometers to detect motion, and the display unit projects visual aiming points electronically onto the lenses, substituting mechanical aiming mechanisms with electronic and optical projection technology
2Reliability
If real-time motion sensing and display projection are implemented, then the firing accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements real-time feedback by continuously monitoring the firearm's motion through the firearm motion sensor and the user's head position through the glasses motion sensor. The display unit adjusts the projected aiming point in real-time based on this feedback, maintaining accurate alignment between the user's line of sight and the firearm's firing axis throughout the aiming and firing process
Solution Approach 2:
The eyewear serves multiple functions: it acts as protective eyewear, a motion sensing platform through the glasses motion sensor, and a display medium through the integrated display unit that projects aiming points onto the lenses. The firearm integrates the firearm motion sensor, transceiver, and power supply into a single device that performs motion detection, wireless communication, and power management
3Measurement precision
If motion sensors and display units are integrated into eyewear, then the aiming precision within line of sight is enhanced, but the weight of the eyewear increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit projects the aiming point onto specific localized areas of the eyewear lenses, specifically at the intersection of the user's line of sight and the projected dot. The motion sensors are positioned strategically to detect relevant motion parameters. This localized approach concentrates the functional components where they are most needed, minimizing unnecessary weight distribution across the entire eyewear structure
