Abstract: Systems for universally locking a trigger of a firearm are provided that require authentication to transition the firearm to an unlocked state. In general, examples of the systems for universally locking a trigger of a firearm described herein are located in an interchangeable grip portion of the firearm or mounted to an accessory rail of the firearm. Embodiments of the system generally include trigger interference or blocking members to prevent actuation of the trigger until the authentication system has authorized the user to fire the firearm. Once the system is authenticated, embodiments of the system remain in an unlocked state while the user is grasping the firearm. When the user removes their hand from the firearm, embodiments of the trigger locking system automatically returns to a locked state, reducing or eliminating unauthorized use of the firearm.

Abstract: A lock module for use with an electronic lock configured to selectively lock a lockable structure includes a communication subsystem configured to be communicatively coupled to a gateway and configured to be communicatively coupled to an electronic lock, wherein the communication subsystem is further configured to send an unlock signal to the electronic lock.

Abstract: A method performed by a system of one or more computers for operating a virtual entry system for a building. The method includes receiving, from a mobile device, a selection associated with information related to a navigation interface. The method includes sending, to the mobile device in response to receiving the selection, information related to a communication interface, the information related to the communication interface including a meeting code. The method includes receiving, from the mobile device, a first request to initiate a communication session between the mobile device and an electronic device, the first request including the meeting code. The method includes initiating, based on the first request, a communication session between the mobile device and the electronic device. The method includes receiving a second request to unlock a door of the building in response to the communication session.

Abstract: A system and method for managing one or more firearms having an authentication device is described. The method may receive a profile of one or more firearm users. The profile of the one or more firearm users may be registered to access one or more authentication devices coupled to one or more firearms. A usage of the one or more firearms coupled to the authentication devices may be tracked via the profile of the firearm user. The system can include a central server, a secure management station with a secure application, a docking station, a respective firearm lock or authentication device for each firearm and an enrollment station, each communicating in a secure manner, to globally manage a plurality of firearms.

Abstract: In one aspect, a nuisance alert system configured to provide at least one of surveillance and active deterrence of any unwanted activity in a securable location, includes at least one notifier configured to output at least one signal in response to activation of the at least one notifier by a user in a securable location, and at least one output device configured to be triggered in response to the at least one signal generated by the at least one notifier, the at least one output device configured to, when triggered, provide one of surveillance and active deterrence of any unwanted activity in the securable location.

Abstract: A computing device provides a secure channel to communicate with a network server. The computing device can be configured in the vicinity of a door (such as above the door) and can be powered by a power over ethernet (POE) protocol. The computing device can also provide power to other peripheral devices in connection with the door such as an IP camera, a lock, user input devices, a speech processing system, a biometric reader, and so forth. The computing device can transmit or establish a unique identifier for the door such that multiple computing devices can be deployed across multiple doors and the network server can manage or track data associated with the use of individual doors. The system is easy to deploy as a single ethernet cable needs to be physically attached to the computing device for both power and communication, and the system can power other peripheral devices associated with the door and receive data and transmit the data back to a network-based server.

Abstract: A microcontroller attachment for use with a microcontroller. The microcontroller attachment includes a first network interface controller (NIC) configured to communicate with a first dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to receive a first DHCP address and configured to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection for a computing device to communicate with a remote server, the first NIC configured to be communicatively coupled to the computing device. The microcontroller attachment further includes a second NIC configured to receive a second DHCP address from a second DHCP server running on the microcontroller and send the second DHCP address to the computing device.
