Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a hit recognition electronic target shooting system and a recognition method thereof, especially to a hit recognition electronic target shooting system and a recognition method thereof that allow a plurality of users using a practice gun to shoot an electronic target respectively at the same time and the practice gun first hit the electronic target is recognized by the electronic target. Thus a better shooting practice, training competition or entertainment can be achieved. The system is more practical and useful.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Generally guns have been used for hunting, sports competition, or other special purposes such as law enforcement, military operation, etc. In order to simulate specific conditions or provide specific training, special equipment and venues are required. The related art has attempted to overcome the above-mentioned problems by utilizing laser or light energy with firearms to simulate firearm operation and indicate simulated projectile impact locations on targets.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,164,081 (Berke) discloses a marksman training system including a translucent diffuser target screen adapted for producing a bright spot on the rear surface of the target screen in response to receiving a laser light beam from a laser rifle on the target screen front surface. A television camera scans the rear side of the target screen and provides a composite signal representing the position of the light spot on the target screen rear surface. The composite signal is decomposed into X and Y Cartesian component signals and a video signal by a conventional television signal processor. The X and Y signals are processed and converted to a pair of proportional analog voltage signals. A target recorder reads out the pair of analog voltage signals as a point, the location of which is comparable to the location on the target screen that was hit by the laser beam.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,966,775 (Kendir, et al.) discloses a firearm laser training system of the present invention includes a target having a plurality of zones, a laser transmitter assembly for projecting a laser beam, a sensing device and a processor. The sensing device scans the target to produce target images to detect laser beam or simulated projectile impact locations. The processor receives impact location information from the sensing device and processes the received information to evaluate user performance and to display evaluation information and an image of the target including indicia corresponding to the detected impact locations.
- However, the shooting systems mentioned above all require a target corresponding to each gun so as to learn score of the respective gun quickly and clearly. Thus the system has low variability. Once there are many users that shoot the same target for competitions or training purposes, it's difficult to recognize who is the fastest shooter or which gun first hit the target during the shooting process. Thus there is room for improvement and a need to provide a novel design.
- Therefore it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a hit recognition electronic target shooting system and a recognition method thereof that allow a plurality of users to shoot an electronic target by using a practice gun respectively at the same time and recognize which practice gun first hit the electronic target by the electronic target. Thus a better shooting practice, training, competition or entertainment is achieved and the system is more practical.
- In order to achieve the above objects, a hit recognition electronic target shooting system of the present invention mainly includes an electronic target and at least two practice guns.
- The electric target mainly consists of a box, a diffusion plate on a front surface of the box, a light sensor mounted in the box and corresponding to the diffusion plate, and a control unit connected to both the light sensor and indicating lights. The control unit controls on/off state of the indicating lights. According to the color of a light beam source of the practice gun that first hit the electronic target, the indicating light emits light with corresponding color.
- The practice gun includes a trigger connected to an activation unit while the activation unit is connected to a light beam source. The light beam source of each practice gun has different light frequency, different power, different wavelength, or different periodic modulation/coding with a kind of carrier signal. While the trigger being pulled, the light beam source is turned on by the activation unit so that the light beam source emits a pulsed light beam and the pulsed light beam is received by the light sensor.
- The control unit is further connected to an audio unit. The audio unit can be a buzzer whose on/off state is controlled by the control unit.
- The control unit is further connected to a memory unit that is used for recording the sensing state of the light sensor.
- A recognition method of a hit recognition electronic target shooting system includes following steps. The hit recognition electronic target shooting system includes an electronic target and at least two practice guns. Turn on the electronic target first and light sensor of the electronic target starts detection of light. At least two users respectively hold the practice gun and pull the trigger of the practice gun at the same time to shoot the electronic target. Thus the light beam source of the practice gun is activated by the trigger through an activation unit so as to emit a light beam toward the electronic target. After the first light beam from the light beam source of the practice gun hit the diffusion plate of the electronic target, the light beam is diffused by the diffusion plate to be received by the light sensor. After the light sensor detecting the light beam diffused by the diffusion plate, there is a delay to sense the light and the light sensor stops receiving light signal during the delay period. At the same time, the sensing signal is transmitted to the control unit for recognition of the light beam source of the practice gun that first hit the electronic target. Thus the indicating light is controlled by the control unit to emit light. Each indicating light is corresponding one of the practice guns and having a color different from others. According to the practice gun that hit the electronic target the indicating light emits light with the corresponding color.
- The light beam source of the practice gun has different light frequency, different power, different wavelength, or different periodic modulation/coding with a kind of carrier signal.
- After recognizing the light beam source of the practice gun that first hit the electronic target, the control unit controls the audio unit to play sounds.
- After the control unit recognizing the light beam source of the practice gun that first hit the electronic target, the information detected by the light sensor and related to the practice gun that hit the electronic target is recorded in the memory unit.

Thelight sensor 13 is arranged in thebox 11, corresponding to thediffusion plate 12 and connected to thecontrol unit 14 while thecontrol unit 14 is connected to the indicatinglights 15, theaudio unit 16 and thememory unit 17. The indicatinglights 15 emit light with different colors respectively and each color is corresponding to the color of alight beam source 23 of eachpractice gun 2. The indicatinglight 15 is light emitting diode (LED). The on/off state of the LED is controlled by thecontrol unit 14. Theaudio unit 16 can be a buzzer controlled by thecontrol unit 14. As to thememory unit 17, it is used for recording sensing state of thelight sensor 13. - The
practice gun 2 includes atrigger 21 connected to anactivation unit 22 and alight beam source 23 connected to theactivation unit 22. Thelight beam source 23 can be a laser. Thelight beam source 23 of eachpractice gun 2 can have different light frequency, different power, or different wavelength. Or thelight beam source 23 has different periodic modulation/coding with a kind of carrier signal. Thus thelight beam source 23 is activated by theactivation unit 22 to emit a pulsed light beam while thetrigger 21 being pulled. - Refer to
FIG. 3 , a flow chart showing steps of the method according to the present invention is revealed. After an electronic target being activated, alight sensor 13 of theelectronic target 1 starts sensing while at least twopractice guns 2 shooting the sameelectronic target 1. At least two users respectively holddifferent practice gun 2 to shoot theelectronic target 1 at the same time. Thelight beam source 23 of each of thepractice guns 2 has different light frequency, power, wavelength or periodic modulation/coding with a kind of carrier signal. After the user pulling thetrigger 21 of thepractice gun 2, thetrigger 21 of thepractice gun 2 activates thelight beam source 23 through theactivation unit 22. Thus thelight beam source 23 emits a pulsed light beam to theelectronic target 1. After the light beam from thelight beam source 23 of thefirst practice gun 2 hitting thediffusion plate 12 of theelectronic target 1, the light from thelight beam source 23 of thepractice gun 2 is diffused by thediffusion plate 12 so as to make thelight sensor 13 detect the light easily. After detecting and receiving the light from thediffusion plate 12, there is a period of delay for thelight sensor 13 to response and thelight sensor 13 stops receiving light signal during the period. At the same time, a sensing signal is transmitted to thecontrol unit 14. Then thecontrol unit 14 recognizes thelight beam source 23 of thepractice gun 2 that hit theelectronic target 1 first and controls the corresponding indicating light 15 to emit light. Thus users can learn the light beam from thelight beam source 23 of whichpractice gun 2 already hit theelectronic target 1. Each indicatinglight 15 has different colors of light and corresponds todifferent practice gun 2. Thecontrol unit 14 can also control theaudio unit 16 to play sounds for informing users that theelectronic target 1 has been hit by the light beam from thelight beam source 23 of thepractice gun 2. The information detected by thelight sensor 13 and related to thepractice gun 2 that hit theelectronic target 1 such as scores is recorded by thememory unit 17 through thecontrol unit 14. Thus users can check the scores and others conveniently. Moreover, each of several users can use apractice gun 2 to shoot the sameelectronic target 1 for shooting practice and competition. - Furthermore, besides the
light beam source 23 with different light frequency, thelight beam source 23 of thepractice gun 2 can also have different power for being recognized by thecontrol unit 14. Thelight beam source 23 of thepractice gun 2 can have different wavelength or different periodic modulation/coding with a kind of carrier signal by which thecontrol unit 14 recognizes. - In summary, compared with the structure available now, the present invention allows each of a plurality of users using a practice gun to shoot one electronic target. Which practice gun has shot(fired) and first hit the electronic gun is recognized by the electronic target so as to achieve better effects of training, practice, competition and entertainment. And the system has higher practical value while in use.
