Abstract

An electronic device determines target information about a target and recommends a target based on the target information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
collecting, with multiple electronic glasses worn by multiple users at a geographical location, target information about people with firearms that are dispersed at the geographical location;
determining, by an electronic device, factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms in which the factors include a distance from each of the users to each of the people with firearms;
determining, by the electronic device and based on the target information, a score for each of the factors with respect to each of the users for each of the people with firearms;
assigning, by the electronic device and based on the score for each of the factors with respect to each of the users, each of the users to a different one of the people with firearms; and
displaying, through the multiple electronic glasses of each user, a three dimensional (3D) image of a person that represents a person assigned to a user such that the 3D image of the person is displayed in a field of view of the user where the person assigned to the user is actually located in the geographical location, wherein the users and the user are people.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining, by the electronic device and as one of the factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms, whether or not the people with the firearms are holding the firearms;
determining, by the electronic device and as one of the factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms, whether or not the people with the firearms are firing the firearms; and
determining, by the electronic device and as one of the factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms, an identity of the people with the firearms.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining, as one of the factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms, a type of obstruction that exists between each of the users and each of the people with the firearms;
determining, as one of the factors that influence assignment of each of the users to one of the people with firearms, weapon penetration locations on the obstruction; and
assigning different scores to different obstructions based on the type of obstruction and the weapon penetrations locations on the obstruction.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining that two of the users have a point of aim of a firearm on a same one of the people with firearms; and
instructing one of the two users to move a point of aim from the same one of the people with firearms to another one of the people with firearms so the two users do not have their points of aim on the same one of the people with firearms.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining, from a facial image collected with one of the electronic glasses, an identity of one of the people with firearms;
drawing a 3D image of the one of the people with firearms to resemble the one of the identity of the one of the people with firearms; and
displaying, through the one of the electronic glasses, the 3D image of the one of the people with firearms over a location in a field of view of the one of the electronic glasses where the one of the people with firearms is located.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining that one of the users is assigned to a first one of the people with firearms;
determining, from the target information, that a second one of the people with firearms is firing at the one of the users; and
changing an assignment of the one of the users from the first one of the people with firearms to the second one of the people with firearms based on determining that the second one of the people with firearms is firing at the one of the users.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining that one of the users assigned a first one of the people with firearms selected to target a second one of the people with firearms in spite of being assigned the first one of the people with firearms;
executing machine learning to compare scores for factors of the first one of the people with firearms with scores for factors of the second one of the people with firearms; and
changing the scores for the factors based on the machine learning.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining a location of one of the users;
determining, based on the target information, a safety score for the location in which the safety score represents safety of the one of the users from harm by the people with firearms;
determining, based on the target information, safety scores for alternate locations that are proximate to the location; and
recommending, through a display of electronic glasses of the one of the users, that the one of the users moves to one of the alternate locations that has an improved safety score over the safety score for the location.

9. An electronic system, comprising:
first electronic glasses that include a processor in communication with a wireless network, a display, and a camera that captures images of people and weapons in a field of view of a first user wearing the first electronic glasses;
second electronic glasses that include a processor in communication with the wireless network, a display, and a camera that captures images of the people and the weapons in a field of view of a second user wearing the second electronic glasses; and
a computer that communicates over the wireless network with the first electronic glasses and the second electronic glasses and that includes a processor and a memory with instructions that the processor of the computer executes to receive the images of the people and of the weapons from the first and second electronic glasses, to determine distances from the first user and the second user to each of the people, to determine whether each of the people is holding one of the weapons, to determine obstructions where each of the people is located, to determine assignments of the first user to one of the people and the second user to another one of the people based on the distances, the holding of the weapon, and the obstructions, and to provide the assignments to the first and second electronic glasses, wherein the first user and the second user are people.

10. The electronic system of claim 9 further comprising:
a firearm with the first user that includes a compass to determine a direction of a point of aim of the firearm, a rangefinder to determine a distance from the firearm to the one of the people, and a transceiver to wirelessly communicate the direction and the distance to the first electronic glasses.

11. The electronic system of claim 9 , wherein the processor of the computer further executes the instructions to build a three-dimensional (3D) map that depicts the people holding the weapons, the obstructions where each of the people is located, the assignments, the first user, and the second user, and to provide the 3D map to the first and second electronic glasses.

12. The electronic system of claim 9 , wherein the first electronic glasses include a see-thru display that displays a three-dimensional (3D) image of the one of the people at a location that coincides with where the one of the people is located, and wherein the second electronic glasses include a see-thru display that displays a 3D image of the another one of the people at a location that coincides with where the another one of the people is located.

13. The electronic system of claim 9 further comprising:
a machine-le
