Voice activated target launching system with automatic sequencing control

摘要

A voice activated skeet/trap triggering system comprising a receiver unit and at least one transmitter unit. The receiver unit interfaces with the target launcher via an interface cable, which cable replaces the conventional puller cable that supports the mechanical switches. The transmitter unit includes a voice microphone mounted and a transmitter microprocessor unit (MPU). The transmitter MPU cooperates with amplifying circuitry, sensitivity circuitry, and an A/D converter to generate a digital word when a proper voice command is picked up by the microphone and recognized. The digital word is frequency modulated onto an FM carrier signal. The receiver unit receives the FM signal and demodulates it to retrieve the digital word. The bits of the digital word are examined to determine the proper target to launch. The receiver includes a receiver microprocessor unit (MPU) which examines the target bits to determine if the next target in the sequence should be launched or if a designated target should be launched. If the next target in the sequence should be launched, then the microprocessor accesses a stored target sequence table to determine the next target in the sequence, and generates output relay bits to control high and low relays, which relay or relays generate output signals to the solenoids of the high house and low house target launchers in the case of skeet, or just the high house target launcher in the case of trap.
