FEEDBACK DISPLAY FOR RIFLESCOPE
First Claim
1. A riflescope comprising:
- a housing;
an ocular system disposed within the housing, the ocular system comprising one or more lenses;
a reticle disposed within the housing and viewable through the ocular system;
an adjustment knob coupled with the housing and the reticle, the adjustment knob configured to move the reticle;
a position encoder configured to provide position data representing a relative position of the reticle relative to at least a portion of the riflescope;
a display system providing a display viewable through the ocular system;
a memory having ballistic information stored therein; and
a processor coupled with the memory, the position encoder, and the display system, the processor configured to;
determine an adjustment value based on the position data and the ballistic information; and
provide the adjustment value to the display system for display such that the adjustment value is viewable through the ocular system.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that provide a riflescope with an internal display. In some embodiments, the riflescope may include a housing; an ocular system disposed within the housing; a reticle disposed within the housing and viewable through the ocular system; an adjustment knob coupled with the housing and the reticle, the adjustment knob configured to move the reticle; a position encoder configured to provide position data representing a relative position of the reticle relative to at least a portion of the riflescope; a display system providing a display viewable through the ocular system; a memory having ballistic information stored therein; and a processor coupled with the memory, the position encoder, and the display system. The processor may be configured to determine an adjustment value based on the position data and the ballistic information and provide the adjustment value to the display system for display.

23. A riflescope comprising:
-
a housing; an ocular system disposed within the housing, the ocular system comprising one or more lenses including an eyepiece; a reticle disposed within the housing and viewable through the ocular system; an elevation adjustment knob coupled with the housing and the reticle, the adjustment knob configured to move the reticle, the elevation adjustment knob comprising a position encoder that provides rotary data corresponding with a rotation or the elevation adjustment knob; a display system providing a display viewable through the eyepiece; a memory having a plurality of ballistic information corresponding to each of a plurality of projectiles; a user interface; and a processor coupled with the memory, the position encoder, and the display system, the processor configured to; receive an indication of a projectile of the plurality of projectiles; select ballistic information based on the indication of the projectile; determine an elevation adjustment value based on the rotary data and the ballistic information; and provide the elevation adjustment value to the display system for display.
