Abstract

A method for adjusting the reticule includes the following steps: displaying a coordinate on the touch display screen, setting the origin of the coordinate at the center of the touch display screen, aiming at an object with the origin, firing the first bullet to get the first bullet hole on the touch display screen, obtaining the coordinate value of the first bullet hole, determining the opposite value, clicking on the place of the opposite value, moving the origin of the coordinate to the place of the opposite value, and aiming at the object with the new origin, firing the second bullet to get the second bullet hole, removing the coordinate; clicking the second bullet hole, an adjusted reticle appearing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of using a touch display screen to adjust and determine a reticle of an electronic firearm sight, comprising:
 providing an object to fire at;   setting an origin of a Cartesian coordinate system at a center of the touch display screen;   displaying an image of the object on the touch display screen, superimposing the Cartesian coordinate system, saved in a memory, over the image of the object, and aligning the image of the object with the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system;   firing a first bullet toward the object by a firearm to get a first bullet hole on the object and displaying an image of the first bullet hole through the touch display screen;   finding a corresponding place of the first bullet hole appearing on the touch display screen;   obtaining a coordinate value of the corresponding place of the first bullet hole appearing on the touch display screen;   clicking on a place on the touch display screen of a coordinate value opposite the coordinate value of the first bullet hole;   thereby moving the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system to the place of the opposite value;   aiming at the object with the moved origin of the Cartesian coordinate system by moving a lens of the electronic firearm sight, so that the touch display screen and the firearm are synchronously moved, in such a manner that the image of the object is aligned with the moved origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, thereby positioning the place of the first bullet hole at the center of the touch display screen;   firing a second bullet toward the object by the firearm to get a second bullet hole on the object and displaying an image of the second bullet hole through the touch display screen, wherein a corresponding place of the second bullet hole appears on the touch display screen as substantially the same place as the first bullet hole at the center of the touch display screen;   removing the Cartesian coordinate system from the touch display screen;   clicking on the corresponding place of the second bullet hole on the touch display screen, wherein a reticle appears at the corresponding place of the second bullet hole at the center of the touch display screen such that a ballistic trajectory of the firearm may thereafter be adjusted to align the image of the object with the reticle at the center of the touch display screen; and   obtaining a coordinate value of the corresponding place of the second bullet hole appearing on the touch display screen and storing the coordinate value of the second bullet hole in the memory.   
     
     
         2 . The method set forth in  claim 1 , further comprises:
 after determining the place of the reticle, choosing a proper reticle based on bullet types and requirements for shapes and lines from the touch display screen.   
     
     
         3 . The method set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the touch display screen comprises:
 a display;   a touch screen installed in front of the display; and   a display driver;   wherein the touch display screen is connected with a processor, the processor in turn is connected with a memory;   the memory is provided with pre-saved data of a Cartesian coordinate system, ballistic trajectory data of different bullets and reticle scales formed based on different ballistic trajectories of different bullets;   the touch display screen receives operations of adjusting the reticle from a user and sends corresponding information to the processor;   the processor analyzes the information through using the pre-saved data in the memory, forms commands, and sends the commands to the touch display screen to execute.   
     
     
         4 . The method set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the processor is connected with an operation panel;
 the operation panel is provided with buttons for controlling the Cartesian coordinate system and reticle shapes, locking the scene of the object, zooming in and zooming out the image of the object.   
     
     
         5 . The method set forth in  claim 3 , wherein a rangefinder is connected with the processor for measuring the distance between the object and the firearm sight itself, and sending corresponding data to the processor. 
     
     
         6 . The method set forth in  claim 4 , wherein a rangefinder is connected with the processor for measuring the distance between the object and the firearm sight itself, and sending corresponding data to the processor. 
     
     
         7 . The method set forth in  claim 3 , wherein a wind speed & direction sensor is connected with the processor for detecting wind speed and wind direction, converting into electronic data, and sending the electronic data to the processor. 
     
     
         8 . The method set forth in  claim 4 , wherein a wind speed & direction sensor is connected with the processor for detecting wind speed and wind direction, converting into electronic data, and sending the electronic data to the processor. 
     
     
         9 . The method set forth in  claim 5 , wherein a wind speed & direction sensor is connected with the processor for detecting wind speed and wind direction, converting into electronic data, and sending the electronic data to the processor. 
     
     
         10 . The method set forth in  claim 6 , wherein a wind speed & direction sensor is connected with the processor for detecting wind speed and wind direction, converting into electronic data, and sending the electronic data to the processor. 
     
     
         11 .
