Abstract
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may deploy electrodes toward a target to electrically couple to the target. The CEW may be configured to detect a connection status of at least one electrode of the deployed electrodes. A positive connection status represents a connection being established between the at least one electrode and the target. The CEW may generate an alert in accordance with the connection status. The alert may comprise one or more of an audible alert, a haptic alert, or a visual alert.
Claims20
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) for deploying electrodes, the CEW configured to:
- deploy at least three electrodes;
- detect a connection status of each individual electrode of the at least three electrodes deployed from the CEW;
- and
- generate, by an alert device integrated with the CEW, an alert in accordance with the connection status.
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”), a respective connection status of each electrode of a plurality of electrodes deployed from the CEW;
- and
- generating, by an alert device integrated with the CEW, an alert in accordance with the respective connection status of each electrode of a plurality of electrodes, wherein a first respective connection status of a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes is distinct from a second respective connection status of a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes.
