Abstract
An electronic restraint device may detect biometric information. The electronic restraint device may compare the biometric information with alert criteria. Based on the comparison, the electronic restraint device may generate an alert. The alert may be transmitted to an electronic device. The alert may be output by the electronic restraint device or the electronic device. The alert may cause the electronic restraint device to modulate a restraint device property.
Claims20
A method for generating an alert from an electronic restraint device, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the electronic restraint device, biometric information comprising a first biometric signal and a second biometric signal, wherein the first biometric signal is detected by a first sensor of a first restraint member of the electronic restraint device, wherein the second biometric signal is detected by a second sensor of a second restraint member of the electronic restraint device, and wherein the first restraint member is mechanically coupled and electrically coupled to the second restraint member;
- comparing, by a processing circuit of the first restraint member of the electronic restraint device, the biometric information to an alert criteria;
- and
- generating, by the electronic restraint device, an alert based on the comparing.

An electronic restraint device comprising:
- a first restraint member configured to contact a first body part of a human, wherein the first restraint member comprises:
- a first restraint opening;
- and
- a first sensor positioned proximate the first restraint opening, wherein the first sensor is configured to capture a first biometric signal from the first body part;
- a second restraint member configured to contact a second body part of the human, wherein the second restraint member is mechanically coupled and electrically coupled to the first restraint member, and wherein the second restraint member comprises:
- a second restraint opening;
- and
- a second sensor positioned proximate the second restraint opening, wherein the second sensor is configured to capture a second biometric signal from the second body part;
- and
- an output interface positioned in one of the first restraint member or the second restraint member, wherein the output interface is in electrical communication with the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the output interface is configured to compare the first biometric signal and the second biometric signal with an alert criteria, and wherein the output interface is configured to generate an alert based on the compare.

- and
- a second sensor positioned proximate the second restraint opening, wherein the second sensor is configured to capture a second biometric signal from the second body part;
- a communications module positioned within the first restraint member;
- and
- an output interface positioned within the first restraint member, wherein the output interface is in electrical communication with the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the output interface is configured to compare the first biometric signal and the second biometric signal with an alert criteria, and wherein the output interface is configured to generate an alert based on the compare;
- and
- an electronic device in electronic communication with the communications module, wherein the communications module is configured to transmit the alert to the electronic device.
