US 2025/0129641 A1 · MODULAR SECURITY APPARATUS

Abstract

A modular security apparatus may be configured with a controller module and one or more fastener modules. A first fastener module may secure a portable item with, for example, one or more cables forming loops external to a housing of the module and retained by a one-way locking mechanism disposed within the housing. A second fastener module may anchor the modular security apparatus to an anchor surface or other fixed object. The controller module may be releasably attached to the first and second module. The controller module may include a controller configured to receive and verify an electronic signal. Upon verifying the electronic signal, the controller may actuate one or more mechanisms to release the portable item, release the modular security apparatus from the anchor surface, and/or to allow disassembly of the modules. In some implementations, the controller module may be integrated with the first and/or second module.

Dependent claims

A modular electronically releasable security apparatus comprising:

a first fastener module having a first locking mechanism, the first fastener module configured to releasably secure a portable item using the first locking mechanism;
a first electromechanical component configured to actuate the first locking mechanism;
a controller module removably attached to the first fastener module and having:
one or more antennas, and
one or more processors configured to, upon verification of a first wireless electronic signal received by the one or more antennas, actuate the first electromechanical component to release the first locking mechanism;
a second electromechanical component;
and
a second fastener module removably attached to the controller module and configured to releasably anchor to a fixed object, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, upon verification of a second wireless electronic signal received by the one or more antennas, actuate the second electromechanical component to release the second fastener module from the fixed object.

5 more elements

A method comprising:

receiving a first wireless electronic signal using one or more antennas of a controller module, the controller module releasably attached to a first fastener module;
verifying the first wireless electronic signal;
in response to verifying the first wireless electronic signal, causing a first electromechanical component to release a first locking mechanism of the first fastener module, the first locking mechanism securing a portable item to the first fastener module;
and
in response to verifying at least one of the first wireless electronic signal or a second wireless electronic signal received by the one or more antennas, actuating a second electromechanical component to release the first fastener module, thereby allowing movement of the first fastener module in at least a first direction with respect to the controller module, wherein moving the first fastener module in the first direction with respect to the controller module releases the first fastener module from the controller module.
