US12633016 - Enhanced picture-in-picture

The patent describes a method for generating and displaying magnified images from a wide field-of-view (FOV) image in an optical device, specifically focusing on regions around a reticle. It allows for dynamic adjustments between the first and second magnified images based on user input, enhancing the viewing experience for aiming purposes.
Claim 1
1 . A method comprising: generating a first magnified image from a wide field-of-view (FOV) image comprising a reticle indicating a point of aim, wherein the first magnified image is copied from a first region of the wide FOV image, the first region comprising a center of the reticle; initiating display of the first magnified image within an eye piece of an optical device, the magnified image overlapping a first portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece; receiving an indication to adjust the first magnified image; generating a second magnified image, wherein the second magnified image is copied from a second region of the wide FOV image, the second region being offset from the center of the reticle; and initiating display of the second magnified image within the eye piece, the second magnified image replacing the first image and overlapping a second portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece. generating a first magnified image from a wide field-of-view (FOV) image comprising a reticle indicating a point of aim, wherein the first magnified image is copied from a first region of the wide FOV image, the first region comprising a center of the reticle; initiating display of the first magnified image within an eye piece of an optical device, the magnified image overlapping a first portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece; receiving an indication to adjust the first magnified image; generating a second magnified image, wherein the second magnified image is copied from a second region of the wide FOV image, the second region being offset from the center of the reticle; and initiating display of the second magnified image within the eye piece, the second magnified image replacing the first image and overlapping a second portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece.
