Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/745,544 which was filed on Jan. 15, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to safe shooting communication and detection systems. More specifically, the invention relates to a multi-transceiver alert system that helps prevent accidental shootings by notifying hunters and military personnel of individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals in their vicinity. The system includes a primary transceiver device configured to attach to or integrate with a rifle scope or shooting glasses, and one or more secondary transceiver devices worn by other users, military personnel, or pets (i.e., hunting dogs). Each secondary transceiver continuously broadcasts a unique identification signal, which the primary transceiver detects. Upon detection within a predefined proximity, the primary transceiver triggers (i.e., actuates) an alert module that can provide visual, haptic, or audio feedback to the hunter or military personnel. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices, and methods of manufacture.

BACKGROUND

By way of background, hunting often takes place in areas accessible to the general public, such as national forests, state parks, and privately owned lands where multiple recreational activities occur concurrently. Consequently, hunters are not always aware of the presence of other individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals in their vicinity. Pet owners may take dogs or horses on trails, hikers and mountain bikers may traverse the same wooded areas, and other hunters may be positioned nearby and all of whom can be inadvertently exposed to a hunter's line of fire. Military personnel have the task of shooting at other individuals, however, ‘friendly fire’ shootings are an unfortunate result of some accidental shootings.

Even with careful target identification and adherence to safe hunting practices, the rugged terrain, vegetation, and unpredictable movement of individuals and animals make it difficult for hunters and military personnel to know who or what lies beyond their intended target. As a result, accidents and near-misses can occur. Accordingly, individuals desire a system that proactively alerts hunters and military personnel to the presence of other individuals, comrades-in-arms, and pets in or near their shooting path.

Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a safe shooting communication system that can reduce the risk of accidental shootings in areas where hunters, hikers, comrades-in-arms, and pet owners can overlap. There is a long-felt need for a solution that alerts hunters and military personnel in real-time when other individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals are present in or around their potential line of fire. Additionally, there is a long-felt need for an adaptable, portable system that remains unobtrusive to a hunter's or military personnel's regular equipment and practices. Furthermore, there is a long-felt need for a system that incorporates wearable technology for non-hunters, comrades-in-arms, and animals. More specifically, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a system that prevents hunters or military personnel from taking any firearm shots in the presence of another person or animal. Finally, there is a long-felt need for a user-friendly system that reduces the chance of accidental death for anyone walking or hunting in remote forests and other areas.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment, comprises a safe shooting communication system configured to warn hunters of nearby individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals. The system includes a primary transceiver device that can be integrated into or attached to a rifle scope or shooting glasses, along with one or more secondary transceiver devices wearable by non-hunters, hikers, comrades-in-arms, campers, or pets (i.e., hunting dogs). The primary transceiver device is designed to send and receive wireless signals, and the secondary transceiver devices continuously broadcast unique identification signals. When a secondary transceiver is detected within a specified proximity or line of fire, the primary transceiver triggers (i.e., actuates) an alert module. This alert module can be a visual display in the scope or glasses, a haptic feedback mechanism, and/or an audio signal. In some embodiments, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) may be included to detect the hunter's or military personnel's aiming direction.

In this manner, the safe shooting communication system of the present invention fulfills the aforementioned needs by delivering a proactive and intelligent alert mechanism that mitigates the risk of accidental shootings. The system integrates with a hunter's or military personnel's existing equipment without disruption to hunting practices or other regular military exercises. The system employs short-range wireless communication and optional orientation tracking, enabling hunters and military personnel to receive immediate warnings when an individual or animal carrying a secondary transceiver enters a potentially hazardous zone. This system enhances situational awareness and promotes safer co-existence of hunters and other outdoor users.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The innovation is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the innovation can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof. Various embodiments are discussed hereinafter.

They are not intended as an exhaustive description of the invention and do not limit the scope of the invention. Additionally, an illustrated embodiment need not have all the aspects or advantages shown. Thus, in other embodiments, any of the features described herein from different embodiments may be combined.

As noted above, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a safe shooting communication system that can reduce the risk of accidental shootings in areas where hunters, hikers, comrades-in-arms, and pet owners can overlap. There is a long-felt need for a solution that alerts hunters and military personnel in real-time when other individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals are present in or around their potential line of fire. Additionally, there is a long-felt need for an adaptable, portable system that remains unobtrusive to a hunter's regular equipment and practices. Furthermore, there is a long-felt need for a system that incorporates wearable technology for non-hunters and animals. More specifically, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a system that prevents hunters or military personnel from taking any firearm shots in the presence of another person or animal. Finally, there is a long-felt need for a user-friendly system that reduces the chance of accidental death for anyone walking or hunting in remote forests and other areas.

The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is a safe shooting communication system for reducing the risk of accidental shootings. The system comprises a primary transceiver device configured to be attached to or integrated with a shooter's rifle scope or shooting glasses, the primary transceiver device includes a microcontroller configured to store one or more secondary device identifiers, a wireless communication module configured to scan for and receive signals from a plurality of secondary transceiver devices, an alert module configured to issue at least one of a visual alert, a haptic alert, or an audible alert, wherein a secondary transceiver device adapted to be carried or worn by another individual, comrade, or animal, the secondary transceiver device being configured to broadcast a unique identification signal, wherein the primary transceiver device is programmed to pair with the secondary transceiver device upon detecting the unique identification signal, and to register the unique identification signal in the microcontroller, thereby enabling the primary transceiver device to uniquely identify the secondary transceiver device and issue an alert when the secondary transceiver device is detected in a shooting trajectory.

Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of the safe shooting communication system of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The safe shooting communication system 100 of the present invention is a communication and detection system designed to reduce the risk of accidental shootings hunting, war, shooting drills, or other outdoor activities. The detection and alert system 100 provides an early-warning system to hunters or military personnel, alerting if a person or animal steps into their line of fire. More specifically, the system 100 includes a primary transceiver device 102, preferably integrated into a rifle scope 104 or shooting glasses 106 (i.e., optics) worn by a hunter or military personnel. The primary or first transceiver 102 is configured to both transmit and receive wireless signals as described later in the disclosure. It is to be appreciated that the optics can include binoculars, spotting scopes, and drones for receiving wireless signals to ‘spot’ or detect another. Binoculars, spotting scopes, and drones can be used to find and detect another that is lost, incapacitated, and/or mentally limited (i.e., dementia) through the receipt of broadcast signals.

The system 100 includes a secondary transceiver 108 which can be in the form of a wearable device and is adapted to be carried or worn by other hunters, hikers, bikers, comrades-in-arms, family members, pets, hunting dogs (such as via collars), and/or campers. The secondary transceiver 108 is adapted to continuously broadcast signals (also referred to as “pings” in the present disclosure) which can be captured by the primary or first transceiver 102. The secondary transceiver 108 is a low-powered device and can also be attached to clothing, backpacks, or collars.

In the preferred embodiment, both transceivers 102, 108 are radiofrequency (RF) modules which can have a range from tens to hundreds of meters and communicate using a RF or any other wireless communication channel 110. Further, each secondary transceiver 108 broadcasts a unique ID in the broadcast signals, thereby enabling the primary or first transceiver 102 to uniquely identify the secondary transceiver 108. The primary transceiver device 102 includes an integrated alert module 112 which can be configured to provide a visual alert when receiving the broadcast signals from a secondary transceiver 108, such as a color-coded warning 114 overlaid in the scope 104 or on the shooting glasses 106. The alert module 112 can also provide a haptic or an audio alert. In the preferred embodiment, the alert module 112 is a small micro-OLED or waveguide display (also referred by 112 in the disclosure) integrated into the shooting glasses 106 and rifle scope 104.

The system 100 also includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) module 116 (illustrated in FIG. 6) into the rifle scope 104 or shooting glasses 106 to track the direction or trajectory in which the hunter or military personnel using the primary or first transceiver 102 is aiming or shooting. When the primary or first transceiver 102 detects a secondary transmitter or transceiver 108 at or near (i.e., proximal to) the measured distance/trajectory as measured by the IMU module 116, the enhanced shooter and bystander safety system 100 triggers (i.e., actuates) an alert.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart depicting a process of pairing the transceivers for use in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Initially, the secondary transceiver device 108 is registered or paired with the primary transceiver device 102 (Step 202). The pairing can be done, for example, by physically touching the transceiver devices 102, 108 for a predetermined period such as 5 seconds or more. In some cases, there can be a software application for pairing the transceiver devices 102, 108. It should be noted that a single primary or first transceiver device 102 can be paired with a plurality of secondary transceiver devices 108, thereby enabling a hunter or military personnel to prevent accidental firing on a plurality of humans and pets (i.e., hunting dogs). Upon successful pairing, the hunter's or military personnel's transceiver device 102 stores the transmitter ID of the secondary transmitter or transceiver device 108 (Step 204). In some embodiments, the hunter's or military personnel's transceiver device 102 can also accept and detect signals from the unregistered secondary devices such as when used in any public area. Once the transceiver units 102, 108 are successfully paired, the primary transceiver unit 102 is disposed on one or both rifle scope 104 and shooting glasses 106, and the secondary transceiver unit 108 is disposed on hikers, comrades, pets (i.e., hunting dogs), etc. (Step 206).

FIG. 3 illustrates a flow chart depicting another process of pairing of the hunter or military personnel's transceiver device and the wearable transceiver device in accordance with the disclosed structure. In the present embodiment, initially, the wearable transceiver device 108 broadcasts a ping signal which can be an RF signal (Step 302). Then, the hunter's or military personnel's transceiver device 102 detects the ping signal (Step 304), and if the wearable transceiver device 108 is not paired, then, the hunter or military personnel transceiver device 102 pairs with the wearable transceiver device 108 (Step 306). In some embodiments, for pairing, a manual approval from the user such as on a software application may be required to pair the wearable transceiver device.

FIG. 4 illustrates a flow chart depicting a process of generating an alert in the hunter or military personnel device 102 in accordance with the disclosed structure. Initially, the hunter or military personnel device 102 monitors the orientation of the rifle via the integrated IMU 116 to track where the rifle is pointing (Step 402). The secondary devices (worn by others) periodically broadcast their IDs using low-power radio communication (Step 404). Then, the hunter or military personnel device 102 receives signals from the nearby secondary devices and determines if any of the secondary devices are within a few degrees around the reticle center of the rifle (Step 406). In case a secondary unit is detected in the line of fire, the hunter or military personnel device 102 immediately alerts the hunter or military personnel (Step 408). In some embodiments, the IMU module may not be used in the invention and when the primary transceiver receives a broadcast signal from the secondary device, an alert is provided to the hunter or military personnel.

FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view showing the system in use when the secondary transceiver worn by a pedestrian communicates with the hunter or military personnel transceiver device in accordance with the disclosed structure. As illustrated, when the broadcast signal from the secondary transceiver device 108 worn by a pedestrian 502 is received by the hunter or military personnel transceiver device 102, the alert 114 is generated and can be displayed on both rifle scope 104 and shooting glasses 106.

The system 100 provides real-time identification of individuals, comrades-in-arms, or animals in the line of sight and therefore, greatly reduces the risk of accidents. The system 100 can also be used by hunting parties, hikers, park rangers, or anyone who wants to broadcast their presence to active hunters in the area.

FIG. 6 illustrates a hardware block diagram of the hunter or military personnel transceiver device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The device 600 (similar to the device 102 of the other embodiments) includes a microcontroller 602 which is configured to store registered IDs and coordinate functions of the transceiver device 600. The IMU 116 detects the direction in which the rifle or the user's head is oriented and provides the information to the microcontroller 602. An RF module 604 provides an RF signal for communication with the secondary devices. The display 112 is configured to provide the color-coded alert signal for providing a notification to the hunter or military personnel.
