1. A firearm scope comprising:
- an optical sensor to capture video data;
a display;
a transceiver configured to communicate data wirelessly through a communication channel; and
a controller configured to;
provide a portion of the video data to the display;
provide media content including the video data, a reticle, and a visual marker assigned by a user of the firearm scope to a selected location on a selected target within the video data to the transceiver for wireless transmission;
maintain the visual marker on the selected location on the selected target by automatically tracking the selected target within the video data;
receive a signal from the communication channel in response to the wireless transmission, the signal from a computing device operated by a remote user; and
selectively modify the portion by adjusting the selected location of the visual marker previously assigned by the user on the selected target within the portion of the video data provided to the display in response to receiving the signal to reposition the visual marker.

Abstract
A firearm scope comprises an optical sensor to capture video data, a display, a transceiver configured to communicate data wirelessly through a communication channel, and a controller. The controller can be configured to provide a portion of the video data to the display, provide media content including the video data to the transceiver for wireless transmission, receive a signal from the communication channel in response to the wireless transmission, and selectively modify the portion of the video data to the display in response to receiving the signal.

7. A portable optical device comprising:
-
an optical sensor to capture video data of a view area; a display configured to display a portion of the video data; a transceiver configured to communicate data through a wireless communication channel; and a controller configured to; receive an input from a user of the portable optical device to assign a visual marker to a selected location on a selected target within the view area; provide the portion of the video data and overlay data including a reticle and the visual marker applied to the selected location on the selected target to the display; provide media data including the video data and the overlay data including the visual marker to the transceiver for communication through the wireless communication channel; maintain the visual marker on the selected location on the selected target by automatically tracking the selected target within the video data; receive a signal from the wireless communication channel in response to communication of the media data, the signal from a computing device operated by a remote user; and selectively modify at least one of the overlay data and the portion of the video data in response to receiving the signal to adjust the selected location of the visual marker previously assigned by the user to the selected target to reposition the visual marker according to the signal from the remote user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving media content including a reticle and including a tag corresponding to a selected location on a target from a gun scope at a computing device, the selected location selected by a user of the gun scope; providing the media content to a display of the computing device; automatically maintaining the visual marker on the selected location on the selected target within the video data; receiving a user input corresponding to the media content at the computing device, the user input indicating an adjustment of a location of the tag within the media content; and sending a signal to the gun scope in response to receiving the user input to adjust the location of the tag within a portion of the media content displayed within the gun scope to reposition the tag to another location that differs from the selected location selected by the user of the gun scope. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable storage device comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive media data from a firearm scope, the media data including a video feed and a visual marker corresponding to a location of a selected target within the video feed, the location of the visual marker selected by a user of the firearm scope, the media data further including a reticle; provide the media data to a display; maintain the visual marker on the selected location on the selected target by automatically tracking the selected target within the video data; receive a user input corresponding to the media data; and send a signal related to the user input to the firearm scope, the signal configured to adjust the location of the visual marker at a display of the firearm scope from the location of the visual marker selected by the user of the firearm scope to another location. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
