Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for activating an on-firearm locking system of a firearm in a firearm safety apparatus and 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.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- determining that a firearm with an on-firearm locking system is within a predetermined distance of a target affixed with a transmitter/receiver safety device;
- tracking the firearm, including a location of the firearm as well as a type of the firearm and an owner of the firearm, while the firearm is within the predetermined distance of the target;
- determining whether a muzzle of the firearm has a relative bearing to the target;
- calculating a diameter of a ring of protection for the target by determining a maximum projection range for ammunition for the firearm and a predetermined safety margin range;
- calculating a no-shoot arc for the firearm using a safety margin of a predetermined amount of degrees of arc and the relative bearing of the muzzle of the firearm;
- and
- sending a command to activate the on-firearm locking system of the firearm when the firearm is within a no-shoot zone surrounding the target, as determined by the diameter of the ring of protection and the no-shoot arc, to prevent the firearm from being fired into the no-shoot zone.
