  • Patent number: 7703229
    Abstract: Safety device for a hand-held weapon comprising a transponder for authenticating at least one authorized weapon user carrying or wearing the Transponder or for authenticating an allowed area for using the weapon. The transponder is adapted to emit a wireless preferably cryptified authenticating signal. The safety device further comprises a safety component for a grip of the weapon which is adapted to be necessarily activated by a hand of the user when the hand is holding the grip of the weapon and which upon activation emits a wireless request signal. The transponder is adapted to emit the authenticating signal upon receipt of the request signal from the safety component. The safety means receives and processes the authenticating signal from the transponder and permits firing of the weapon by the user upon receipt of an authenticating signal from the transponder authenticating an authorized user.

  • Publication number: 20080244699
    Abstract: A means for the secure personalized identifying and allowing or prohibiting of a logical and/or physical access to a target means. The means comprises a portable identification means for outputting an authorization signal comprising at least one biometric sensor, at least one output elemental, a processor having a memory and a software as well as a sending- and receiving electronic for the wireless data exchange. The identification medium is configured in such a manner that upon successfully authentifying by an authorized user, an authorization signal is output over the output element. The portable identification medium is arranged at a wristband to be fixed at a user's wrist. The means comprises at least one security means which is configured to interrupt and/or prohibit the outputting of the authorization signal in case the wristband is opened and/or disconnected and/or the removing of the means from the user's wrist.
