Firearm locking system user interface

A method for managing user identities for a biometric locking system of a firearm, the method comprising:

• validating an administrative user based upon multiple comparisons of a plurality of input biometric feature data sets of a physiological feature received on a biometric sensor to a stored biometric feature data set corresponding to an identity of the administrative user;
• entering an administration mode upon validating the administrative user;
• generating a first output on an indicator representative of entering the administration mode;
• receiving on the biometric sensor multiple input biometric feature data sets of the physiological feature associated with a new user identity;
• storing in a memory, in connection with the new user identity, the multiple input biometric feature data sets;
• and
• generating a second output on the indicator representative of storing the multiple input biometric feature data sets for the new user identity.

• entering an administration mode upon validating the administrative user;
• generating a first output on an indicator representative of being in a state to accept an input biometric feature set on the biometric sensor;
• receiving on the biometric sensor one or more input biometric feature data sets of the physiological feature to be associated with a new user identity over one or more input iterations;
• generating a second output on the indicator following each input iteration of receiving the one or more input biometric feature data sets;
• storing each of the one or more input biometric feature data sets in the memory in association with the new user identity if each of the one or more input biometric feature data sets are evaluated to be correlated with each other to the physiological feature;
• and
• generating a third output on the indicator in response to storing of the input biometric feature data sets in association with the new user identity.

A method for managing user identities for a biometric locking system of a firearm, the method comprising:

• entering an administrative user setup mode in response if no existing, user identities along with corresponding input biometric feature data sets of a physiological feature received on a biometric sensor are found stored in a memory;
• generating a first output on an indicator representative of being in a state to accept an input biometric feature set on the biometric sensor;
• receiving on the biometric sensor one or more input biometric feature data sets of the physiological feature to be associated with a new administrative user identity over one or more input iterations;
• generating a second output on the indicator following each input iteration of receiving the one or more input biometric feature data sets;
• storing each of the one or more input biometric feature data sets in the memory in association with the administrative user identity if each of the one or more input biometric feature data sets are evaluated to be correlated with each other to the physiological feature;
