  • Patent number: 12007188
    Abstract: A firearm that automatically controls the release of bullets, including one or more sensors that provide real-time sensor data of the view in front of the firearm, a computer that identities legitimate targets in the real-time sensor data, without user intervention, a trigger sensor that determines directly or indirectly if the trigger is engaged, wherein as long as the trigger is engaged, the firearm is configured to continuously acquire real-time sensor data, identify legitimate targets and automatically release bullets when the firearm is directed toward the identified targets.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10962319
    Abstract: A firing control apparatus and method for installing in a firearm, the apparatus comprising: an energy storing mechanism configured to store mechanical energy which is produced by a mechanical system, upon firing the firearm or by manual operation of the firearm, an electromagnet configured to control the energy storing mechanism, wherein the energy storing mechanism holds or releases the mechanical energy to prevent or enable the firearm from firing, and a processor or an electro-mechanical switch configured to activate or deactivate the electromagnet to control the operation of the energy storing mechanism according to preselected rules.

  • Patent number: 10900733
    Abstract: A method of controlling the release of bullets from a firearm by user behavior, including monitoring the spatial orientation of a virtual vector representing the orientation of a barrel of the firearm by receiving measurements from sensors installed in or on the firearm, engaging a trigger of the firearm to release a first bullet to a first direction, while the trigger is engaged continuously analyzing the measurements to identify preconfigured motion patterns, releasing bullets automatically responsive to identifying the preconfigured motion patterns, wherein the preconfigured motion patterns include identifying that the user is stabilizing the firearm toward a target that is in a direction that is distinct from the first direction.
