Integrated safety apparatus and dynamic protection zone system

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for activating an on-firearm locking system of a firearm in a firearm safety apparatus and a dynamic variable protection system. A determination may be made that a firearm with an on-firearm locking system is within a predetermined distance of a target affixed with a transmitter / receiver safety device. The firearm may be tracked while the firearm is within the predetermined distance of the target. A no-shoot arc for the firearm may be calculated for the firearm and a command may be sent to activate the on-firearm locking system of the firearm when the firearm is within a no-shoot zone surrounding the target to prevent the firearm from being fired into the no-shoot zone.

[0003] This application relates to firearm safety and protection systems. Background technique

[0004] Firearms, including high-powered automatic and semi-automatic firearms, have become ubiquitous in society. The wide availability and easy acquisition of these weapons has led to an increase in mass shooting incidents, particularly at targeted locations, such as people, clusters of communication equipment, schools, hospitals, government facilities, and entertainment venues. Unfortunately, in a given incident, shooters with powerful firearms are often able to fire quickly and with pinpoint accuracy, causing significan...

Embodiment Construction

[0046] This specification generally describes a firearm safety and dynamically variable protection system that can discretely disable a firearm located within close proximity of a target, such as a relatively unprotected or vulnerable person, communication device clusters, vehicles, structures or recreational activities.

[0047] figure 1 An example firearm safety and dynamically variable protection system 100 is shown. The system 100 includes a target 101 to which a transmitter / receiver device 130a is secured. Target 101 may be any designated target, such as a school, hospital, government facility, parade or convoy route, vehicle, aircraft, boat, or entertainment venue. In some cases, target 101 may even be a human or a cluster of communication devices.

[0048] In one implementation, the transmitter / receiver device 130a may include a geolocator that provides the location of the target 101 . In another implementation, the geolocator may be a stand-alone geolocator device...
