Abstract
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may distribute deployments from the CEW across a same activation event and across different activation events. The system may distribute deployments based on a deployment list. The deployment list may define a sequential deployment order for a deployment connections of the CEW. The system may determine a next deployment connection and activate the next deployment connection based on the deployment list. The system may update the deployment list responsive to activations of deployment connections such that the deployment list is sequentially maintained between activation events.
Claims20
A method for distributing deployments in a conducted electrical weapon, the method comprising:
- generating, by a processing circuit, a deployment list, wherein the deployment list defines a deployment order for a plurality of deployment connections for the conducted electrical weapon, and wherein the deployment order is randomly generated;
- and
- activating, by the processing circuit, a first deployment connection of the plurality of deployment connections based on the deployment order.
A conducted electrical weapon comprising:
- a handle comprising:
- a processing circuit;
- and
- a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processing circuit;
- a magazine coupled to the handle;
- and
- a plurality of cartridges disposed within the magazine, 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:
- generating a deployment list, wherein the deployment list defines a deployment order for a plurality of deployment connections, and wherein the deployment order is randomly generated;
- and
- activating a first deployment connection of the plurality of deployment connections based on the deployment order, wherein the activating the first deployment connection causes deployment of a first cartridge of the plurality of cartridges.
A method for distributing deployments in a conducted electrical weapon, the method comprising:
- during a first activation event:
- generating, by a processing circuit, a deployment list, wherein the deployment list defines a deployment order for a plurality of deployment connections for the conducted electrical weapon, and wherein the deployment order is randomly generated;
- and
- first activating, by the processing circuit, a first deployment connection of the plurality of deployment connections based on the deployment list, wherein the first activating the first deployment connection causes deployment of a first cartridge of the conducted electrical weapon;
- and
- during a next activation event:
- next activating, by the processing circuit, a next deployment connection of the plurality of deployment connections based on the deployment list, wherein the next activating the next deployment connection causes deployment of a next cartridge of the conducted electrical weapon.
