Abstract
A method includes receiving location data corresponding to a physical location of a user at a computing device and receiving prey data corresponding to a relative position of an animal at the computing device from a gun scope. The method further includes determining a location of the animal relative to the computing device based on the location data and the prey data.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving location data corresponding to a physical location of a user at a computing device;
- receiving prey data corresponding to a relative position of an animal at the computing device from a gun scope;
- determining a location of the animal relative to the computing device based on the location data and the prey data using the computing device;
- generating a digital map depicting the physical location of the computing device and the location of the animal;
- and
- updating the digital map in response to a change in the physical location of the computing device by drawing a line from a first indicator corresponding to the physical location of the computing device to a second indicator corresponding to new physical location of the computing device in response to movement of the computing device.
3 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- a display;
- a processor coupled to the display;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine location data corresponding to a physical location of at least one of a gun scope and the computing device;
- receive prey data corresponding to a relative position of an animal;
- determine a physical location of the animal based on the location data and the prey data;
- generate a map indicating the location data and the physical location of the animal;
- provide the map to the display;
- and
- selectively update the map to indicate new location data by drawing a line from a first indicator corresponding to the location data to a second indicator corresponding to new location data of the at least one of a gun scope and the computing device in response to movement.
8 more elements
A computer-readable storage device configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a processor to:
- receive location data associated with a physical location of at least one of a computing device associated with the processor and a gun scope configured to communicate with the computing device;
- receive prey data corresponding to a position of a selected target relative to the gun scope;
- determine a location of the selected target based on the location data and the prey data;
- generate a map including a first indicator corresponding to the location data and a destination indicator corresponding to the location of the selected target;
- provide the map to a display;
- and
- selectively update the map to draw a line from the first indicator to a second indicator corresponding to new location data in response to movement of the at least one of the computing device and the gun scope.
