Abstract
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may be subject to one or more environmental factors during operation. The environmental factors may impact normal functionality of the CEW. The CEW may detect an electrical property associated with a component of the CEW. The CEW may retrieve a lockout parameter associated with the component. The CEW may compare the electrical property to the lockout parameter. The CEW may determine a lockout condition based on the comparing. The CEW may perform the lockout condition on the CEW.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”), a power supply;
- determining, by the CEW, a trigger status of a trigger of the CEW;
- determining, by the CEW, a lockout condition in response to the trigger status indicating active;
- and
- performing, by the CEW, the lockout condition on the CEW.
A handle for a conducted electrical weapon comprising:
- a processing circuit;
- a power supply;
- a trigger;
- and
- a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processing circuit, wherein the tangible, non-transitory memory comprises instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to perform operations comprising:
- receiving the power supply;
- determining a trigger status of the trigger;
- determining a lockout condition in response to the trigger status indicating active;
- and
- performing the lockout condition on the handle.
