Abstract: A human transported weapon system is comprised of an automated targeting subsystem, a sensing subsystem, a decision subsystem, and, a firing subsystem. The automated targeting subsystem identifies and provides for selection of a selected target in a field of view of a target area of the human transported weapon system. The sensing subsystem tracks location of the selected target. The decision subsystem locates where the selected target is at a firing time, responsive to the sensing subsystem. The firing subsystem fires a munition at the firing time towards the selected target responsive to the decision subsystem. In one embodiment, the human transported weapon system is linked to communicate with at least one external weapon subsystem having separate munitions and ability for firing said separate munitions.

Abstract: A human transported weapon is comprised of a barrel, computational logic, selection logic, targeting location logic, positioning logic, and, trigger activation logic. The barrel fires munitions therefrom. The computational logic, identifies targets within range of an area of sighting of the human transported weapon as available target. The selection logic determines a selected target from the available targets, responsive to computational logic. The targeting location logic determines a target location of the selected target at a firing time. The positioning logic, positions the aim of the human transported weapon, responsive to computational logic, so that the munitions will strike the selected target when fired at the firing time. The trigger activation logic provides a trigger signal to activate firing of the munitions at the firing time. In one embodiment, the trigger signal is responsive to a user input.

Abstract: An automated weapon system is comprised a human transported weapon for use by a person, comprising a barrel movable within a stock, utilized for propelling a fired munition towards an area of sighting for the human transported weapon. A targeting subsystem identifies a chosen target in the area of sighting. A computational subsystem, responsive to the targeting subsystem, determines where the chosen target is, and determines where to aim the barrel so that the munitions will strike the chosen target. The barrel is movable within a stock, utilized for propelling a fired munition towards an area of sighting for the human transported weapon. A positioning means adjusts the aim of the barrel responsive to the computational subsystem. A firing subsystem, fires the munition at the chosen target responsive to the positioning means.

An information layer can be generated related to the objects. In some implementations, the information layer can include annotations made by a user through the touch sensitive surface. The information layer and live video can be combined in a display of the device. Data can be received from one or more onboard sensors indicating that the device is in motion. The sensor data can be used to synchronize the live video and the information layer as the perspective of video camera view changes due to the motion. The live video and information layer can be shared with other devices over a communication link.
