Firearm safety and training aid

Abstract

There are several important aspects to the use of firearms and other projectile weapons, whether for self-defense, target practice, hunting, or other lawful purposes. These aspects include recognizing the target; proper aiming, firing, and follow through, as well as recognizing other considerations related to safe firearm use such as the possibility causing unintentional injury or damage, ensuring the proper firearm is in use, engaging or disengaging any safety mechanisms. Herein, a novel system for addressing all these concerns related to safe and effective firearm use is disclosed. The system, in various embodiments, allows sensing the motion of a firearm at the time the trigger is pulled and for estimating the point of impact of a projectile, alerting the user of the status of the firearm, sensing the differences between proper and improper targets, locating a lost or stolen firearm, and other features.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
