SCORING SHOOTING EVENTS USING HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES

摘要

A system (100) for scoring a shooting event for a shooter includes a pair of hearing protection devices (102) and a portable device (110). The hearing protection devices each include an electronic circuit that detects a gunshot and produces detection information characterizing the gunshot as detected. The difference between the detection information produced by the hearing protection devices worn in or over different ears of the shooter allows the portable devices to identify the gunshot as being fired by the shooter and subsequently prompt the shooter to give a voice command indicating the result of the gunshot to the portable device for the scoring without manual entry.
