Preferred embodiment is described in detail
Fig. 1 generally shows the preferred embodiment of safety equipment 10 of the present invention.The present invention 10 has two main elements: validator controller 12 and data transmitter 14.Validator controller 12 comprises validator state actuator 16, and it is communicated by letter with validator receiver 18 by validator logical circuit 20 (such as embedded controller).In addition, validator state actuator 16 is configured to handle and take some action according to the value or the characteristic of data-signal 22.Data transmitter 14 contacts with human nail 24, and data transmitter 14 is communicated by letter with validator controller 12 in addition.
Human nail 24 (combining induction muscle 24 and human finger 28 or toe under the human nail) produces complete human nail's sensor circuit 30.The capacitance of human nail's sensor circuit 30 per unit areas is half unique or independent values, and it is different between a people and another person.Like this, everyone just has half unique code or the value relevant with his or her unique human nail's sensor circuit 30.This half unique value is maybe to be translated into half unique data signal 22, and sends to validator controller 12 by data transmitter 14.In addition, data-signal 22 can also comprise from storer or from other unique traits of user of real-time measurement, such as unique sequence number of nail size, nail flexibility, nail colour, nail groove shapes, fingerprint, operator's pulse, unique finger mark, finger opacity, embedding, from insulating material at random area value, value, the user of area push the resistance variations that crust brings, the perhaps visible contours of forefinger area, face-image, retinal images, sound property or the like at random from resistance material.
Use by nail between electrode or between lead down the all-in resistance that forms of induction muscle be to make half unique value be relevant to user's another kind of mode.If two or multiple conducting wires be by human nail 24, the muscle total amount on the indication of the all-in resistance between two electrodes user forefinger so.In addition, can use these electrodes that tactile feedback is provided when applying voltage.If human nail 24 is transplanted on another person, similarity is so just arranged, other people have the muscle of different amounts on his or her finger, produce different resistance measurement scopes.This can with since under the nail that the pressure on the nail causes the variable color degree of muscle relevant, at this moment produce more unique profile.
In addition, can use more leads to obtain pointing the more detailed situation of resistance.Factors of other influence finger resistance can be muscle with the diameter of bone than and whether on the human nail 24 or the user point on the bottom and have pressure.At last, when lead moved forward thereon along with the growth rate of user's nail 24 natures, resistance can slowly change by way of expectations.This is useful helping to detect the data transmitter 14 of transplanting finger or being placed on the artificial inductive material.In order to use the best accurately measuring resistance of ball bearing made using, can use two leads, they are directly connected to resistor (induction muscle 26).When human nail's 24 growths or finger press solid surface, this shows as the distribution of complicated time to resistance.Can also imagine can be periodically or use electric capacity that the monitor timer verifies that resistance or capacitor plate form in the specific scope of user once in a while, and whether checking moves or removed human nail 24 in addition.Detecting the effective means that human nail 24 removes is to cause to reduce and increase voltage method, and can with parallel high impedance input voltage limiter or the specially designed ESD semiconductor equipment of using of capacitor (such as spark gap or MOV).When electric capacity increased, voltage can increase and electric current can make the capacitor part discharge.
Attempting to force someone to start under the situation of validator controller 12 under the violence situation or on the health, the approaching of assailant's finger can increase electric capacity usually and/or change data-signal 22, and safety equipment 10 just can not worked like this.In addition, safety equipment 10 can provide overall pause function, and wherein equipment 10 is no longer worked in scheduled time slot, perhaps may be included in the trial that can " stop " signal of communication in the interception equipment 10 to transmitter.In addition, can construct and form the parts of safety equipment 10 by this way: if take place anyly to attempt to move or remove them, randomization data signal 22 or destroy or forbid equipment 10 again so just.Damaging, destroying or stopping to provide alternative affirmation device under the situation of safety equipment 10.In addition, safety feature 10 can be configured to operator's finger, hand or the arm that " clamping " can not pass through to confirm test.
The validator receiver receives data-signal 22, and by validator logical circuit 20 data-signal 22 is sent to validator state actuator 16.In case validator state actuator 16 receive data-signals (its verify it own or by 20 checkings of validator circuit logic), validator state actuator 16 is taken action according to the data-signal 22 that this received with verified or is transmitted data.For example, when being used for weapon, validator state actuator 16 can allow or forbid the flip flop equipment of weapon according to the accuracy of data-signal 22.Under this situation, can be placed in the validator controller on the trigger protective device of weapon.

Fig. 5 shows the fifth embodiment of the present invention.In the 5th embodiment, the validator controller comprises validator transmitter 38, and it sends to nail solar cell 40 to ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION SIGNATURE.The circuit return conductor 36 of use on human finger or toe finished human nail's sensor circuit 30, and nail solar cell 40 sends to nail digit chip 42 to data-signal 22 (together with the energy).Nail digit chip 42 sends to validator receiver 18 to data-signal by direct physical Connection Element 32 or contact.As before, data-signal 22 is delivered to validator state actuator 16 by validator logical circuit 20.
As shown in Figure 6, in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, validator transmitter 38 sends to nail solar cell 40 to signal, and it is communicated by letter with the nail digit chip 42 in data transmitter 14.Data transmitter 14 further comprises nail analog chip 48, with measurement be fixed in human nail 24 capacitor plate and be fixed in the human finger or the circuit return conductor 36 of toe between electric capacity.Fig. 9 shows an embodiment of the capacitance measurement aspect of nail analog chip 48 circuit.This nail analog chip 48 sends to nail digit chip 42 to measured capacitance value, and it sends to validator receiver 18 to data-signal 22 by direct physical Connection Element 32.Continue the process of data-signal subsequently as mentioned above.
Fig. 7 shows the seventh embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, validator controller 12 comprises validator transmitter 38, and data transmitter 14 comprises nail solar cell 40, also the energy and signal are sent to nail digit chip 42 from validator transmitter 38 received signals.Data transmitter 14 also comprises capacitor plate 34, and as mentioned above, it produces capacitance according to the electric capacity by induction muscle 26.Nail analog chip 48 is measured this capacitance and this value is sent to nail digit chip 42.Nail digit chip 42 sends to nail signal projector 44 to this data-signal 22, and nail signal projector 44 sends to validator controller 12 to data-signal 22 subsequently.Validator receiver 18 received signals also go on as mentioned above.Nail analog chip 48 can use inductor, capacitor, resistor, semiconductor, lead or antenna to change institute's transmitted data signal 22.
As shown in Figure 8, in the 8th embodiment, validator controller 12 also comprises the recording unit 50 that communicates by validator logical circuit 20 with validator state actuator 16.This recording unit 50 be configured to be recorded within safety equipment 10 and any relevant device or outside the particular event or the condition that take place, and can be positioned data transmitter 14 or communication with it.For the example of weapon, recording unit 50 can record locking and the number of times that takes place of release.If validator controller 12 or data transmitter 14 are configured at random or the accidental generation of checking resistance, electric capacity, temperature, pulse or other data, recording unit 50 can write down the result of these incidents so.This has just increased transplants data transmitter 14 or attempts to be transplanted to another person or be designed to imitate difficulty on the man-made derice of owner's characteristics.If produced improper reading, equipment can be temporarily or permanent ban it oneself so.The eighth embodiment of the present invention also comprises the data transmitter protective seam 52 of covering and protected data transmitter 14.Can form this data transmitter protective seam 52 like this: it can interfering data transmitter 14 and validator controller 12 between the communication of data-signal 22.Similarly, can provide validator controller protective seam 54 to cover and protect validator controller 12.As data transmitter protective seam 52, validator controller protective seam 54 should not disturb any communication of the signal between validator controller 12 and the data transmitter 14.
Can imagine, data transmitter 14 can be attached to human nail 14 or near it.In addition, this connection can be temporary transient or permanent.Between data transmitter 14 and human nail 24, can use bonding coat 56.Bonding coat 56 can be a potpourri, and it makes data transmitter 14 be fixed in human nail 24 non-permanently.For example, use glue based on water as bonding coat 56, this makes 14 of data transmitters just can remove under the flowing water of certain water temperature.This is just valuable especially if the zone of stabilized mixture is arranged between nail 24 and data transmitter 14, if mobile like this or remove the resistance value that data transmitter 14 will change potpourri.Use resistance, insulator potpourri or conductor mixture (are being placed the profile of setting up it constantly, and a) its profile keeps essence constant during the user has on data transmitter, and b) its profile is the zone of the common fixed interval (FI) between data transmitter and wearer's nail of basis, and c) placing " finally " profile of setting up it constantly, it be subjected on nail to place data transmitter the individual action and influence strongly in the shape of nail low groove and convex ridge) limited, the advantage in semi-fluid zone is if remove equipment and reappose on same nail or another nail, it just there should be no return to same profile very much so, therefore will influence any electronical reading based on its physical contours.
As shown in Figure 8, safety equipment 10 can provide the permission of communicating by letter with validator state actuator 16/forbid controller 58.This permission/forbid controller 58 can be controlled trigger equipment 60, such as weapon trigger equipment or other locking devices, allows or forbids trigger equipment 60.
In addition, data transmitter 14 can have data transmitter power supply 62, and validator controller 12 can have validator controller power source 64.Validator controller 12 and data transmitter 14 can have the blocking period, are used for preserving energy in the non-use period.Situation when the situation when these blocking periods can be used for data transmitter 14 and validator controller 12 and have independent current source 62 and 64 (being thermoelectric element, battery, ultra-capacitor, solar cell, piezoelectric element, fuel cell or the like) and they do not have.These blocking periods can combine with monitor timer function and the recording unit 50 in the data transmitter 14.Can imagine that also data-signal 22 can be the form with energy, electromagnetic wave, electrostatic energy or any other signal that sends that is fit to.Providing in the power supply to data transmitter 14, if there is not lead to pass through human nail 24, two leads are just more feasible so.These two leads can be one positive one negative to finish circuit usually.Because the electric capacity of nail is very low, be more infeasible by it so enough exchange current are provided.Usually the method for supply power provides DC circuit.This just needs at least two leads, is respectively that a negative conductor provides electron source and a positive conductor to provide to make them get back to the device of power supply 62 or 64, so just make electric current flow.If wherein a lead arrives data transmitter 14 from validator controller 12, second lead by human nail 24 makes electric current arrive shared metallic conductor (being gun) and get back to validator controller 12 by responding to muscle 26 so, finishes current return.
As shown in figure 10, the present invention 10 also comprises the method that allows or forbid incident.The step that this method comprises has: validator controller 12 (it has and the validator state actuator 16 of validator receiver 18 by validator logical circuit 20 communication) is provided, is configured to handle and the validator state actuator 16 of taking action and the validator receiver 18 that is configured to received signal 22, the data transmitter 14 (step 100) that contacts and communicate by letter with validator controller 12 with human nail 24 according to data-signal 22; Receive data-signal 22 (step 102) by validator receiver 18; Handle the data-signal 22 (step 104) that is received by validator logical circuit 20; And according to the data-signal 22 that is received by validator state actuator 16 take action (step 106).
If validator controller 12 and data transmitter 14 communicated by letter within the end several seconds, reasonable assumption was not implemented the operation that finger, toe or human nail are transplanted to other people in that short time interval so.In this case, the affirmation process of more detailed and accurate (and expending time in) is unnecessary.Be used to measure any electrical value, comprise that the resolution of electric capacity is high more, generally will spend and finish measurement for more time.Saved several milliseconds in the incident when triggering at Tres Haute Vitesse. Ammunition to start, the saving of this time is exactly valuable.In addition, if the user takes a vacation and in this period validator controller 12 do not communicate by letter with data transmitter 14, so the expectation check human nail 24 in more detail characteristic.For example, the expectation of human nail's 24 growths changes and can verify together in company with password, blood group, fingerprint or the like.If human nail 24 does not grow into desired amount, the probability that it is placed on artificial substrate or other materials is just very big.Intrinsic advantage of the present invention 10 is that it depends on human nail 24, and it is the tissue of constant growth.Because its constant growth, so individual month the variable validity period of about 0-4 is just arranged according to the placement location human nail 24 of equipment.This do not wish permanent insert and usufructuary situation under particularly useful.
About the nail (its value is based on the electric capacity of user's nail) that is connected in capacitor, some realizations of this equipment can be compared with RFID equipment.This value influences the response of RFID equipment.The shortcoming of RFID technology is it than based on the easier interception of light frequency transponder and " obstruction " wireless communication.In addition, it is easier to be disturbed or be confused, and makes in the separation on the transmission technology difficulty when having other RFID equipment (such as on closing on nail) near perhaps.
To the further raising of equipment can be electrical grounding shielding on capacitor plate so that pole plate with the pole plate top of measuring nail electric capacity and on induction region (such as the metallic object of weapon) between any capacitance variations isolation of forming.This has just added total indicator reading (TIR) to constant capacitance, but can minimize by the diverse location of finger or close on any induction of validator controller or metallic region produces less but variable capacitance.
Further distinguishing characteristic is the flexibility profile of nail between the individual.It can or use the capacitor plate array measurement with the smooth non-consistent zone that is bonded in or is positioned at a plurality of pole plates on wearer's nail.In addition, it can have the fixed contact array measurement on nail surface.Can measure the profile of nail thickness with above-described similar manner, except the capacitor plate array consistent with the nail flexibility roughly.
Data transmitter can be further combined with " low-power monitor circuit ", and it applies voltage charge on capacitor plate, and this measures nail electric capacity usually.The low-power monitor circuit has electronic equipment, its purpose is if voltage is significantly higher than than the big slightly voltage of initial charge that places pole plate (such as spark gap device or specially designed ESD model or avalanche effect semiconductor), so just to circuit " generation avalanche effect " or " generation short circuit " or generation induction.If remove nail or data transmitter from the individual, data transmitter is being closed or low power consumpting state simultaneously, can descend with the electric capacity between the top crown so, leaves thereby make the voltage rising between those pole plates and make snowslide equipment respond to most of electric charges.As the substrate or the wrong user that again data transmitter are positioned over user or personation, and data transmitter wakes its normal monitoring device timer function up, or open it in addition, the initial charge than it is low in fact for voltage charge by pole plate so, and its circuit can detect this low voltage and infer that this equipment is distorted, simultaneously it enters low-power consumption or sleep state, and the data of forbidding that it is own or wiping it prevent further unauthorized use.
Another embodiment of data transmitter is similar to the single pole plate that contacts on nail or with nail, it is roughly parallel with nail.The total capacitance that the size of pole plate and (under pole plate and the nail between the muscle) form (and under pole plate and the nail distance between the muscle) generation resonant circuit, when it by such as the equipment motivation of microwave transmitter the time, it just produces resonance according to above-mentioned parts and factor with specific resonance frequency, and forms similar microwave repeater equipment.In this embodiment, between data transmitter and validator receiver, do not need lead.
This equipment also can be stored in information (such as when which controller relevant with its weapon is opened fire or release or startup validator controller) in the nail digit chip 42 of data transmitter, or only stores the data from the validator controller.Can to comprise a plurality of purposes downloads that checking is correctly taken action and read this information in order to reach subsequently.In addition, other validator controllers can read these data with further test with distinguish whether had the right the Next Action of taking the user to ask of user.Unless the example of this situation is exactly not allow to enter the degerming chamber recently near the operating room user.Be further appreciated that some application can need negotiation between data transmitter and the validator controller or " session " such as the exchange password.Another example carries out release with regard to relating to dock the room that closely has specified quantitative toxic gas (such as carbon monoxide), determines that this amount is lower than the wearer who is calculated and accumulates routine safety poison gas concentration threshold value, and this has only data transmitter to know.
This equipment and fingerprint reader collaborative work.Because this equipment can be stored data, such as the fingerprint shape of individual identification, hope and other safety or authorize or classification, so it makes and organizes the fingerprint reader that new fingerprint " is unfamiliar with " with this and confirm that the individual that this fingerprint belongs to is authorized to or belongs to authorize this class people who inserts, operates or the like.With the fingerprint reader combination, final equipment can also reduce fingerprint reader false positive or false-negative error rate.
Data transmitter can be configured to receive and send signal, not only send to the validator controller on the nail or leave the big distance of nail, and send to finger down the validator controller or finger muscles is used as light or electromagnetic energy sensor circuit.Wherein using preferably is exactly to be used for pushbutton switch, it has by optical fiber link installs validator controller wherein or that be connected in them, allow switch take institute ask action before the permission intelligent switch verify user's identifying information and his validity.Fingerprint reader on switch can be too slowly, too greatly, too unreliable and too expensive so that can not effectively realize.
For the validator controller is carried out safety verification, record data and/or regularly or the like, data source and its nail digit chip 42 can be stored or exchange messages or data with the validator controller, and operate in its inner program.For example, data transmitter can calculate in its nail digit chip 42, and the wearer should not be allowed to enter two hours after leaving another such zone, harmful gas zone.
Data transmitter can be further combined with microphone to confirm wearer's sound or phonetic order, changes its state or authorize its to discharge or make the particular category of information and zone can be used for asking those information to can be used for the validator controller of next validator controller to read.Example wherein is exactly medical records or specific credit information.Phonetic order can be indicated about the operation of stored current or data in the future and be carried out, and for example only selects about dentistry, medical treatment or financial business or calculates.In addition, microphone interface will send to data transmitter is indicated certain desired with the sound of confirming user's ' finger sends pipa ' state change to wearer's the signal of wanting that passes through than the sole user.
Data transmitter can be further at its top surface in conjunction with small fingerprint reader or keyboard, the individual can be only by simply being placed on the preliminary election of his another finger or his finger sequence finger his data transmitter top like this, and data transmitter is thought his finger and by the relatively authorization requests of shape that prestores of it and his fingerprint, comes release information thereby come that his data transmitter is carried out pre-authorization.In case finished pre-authorization, the data of request validator controller when data transmitter just can be released in and be pointed out by the validator controller.Other sequences of reading of individual's fingerprint can further allow the individual to handle the instruction that is dealt into data transmitter, if such as before discharging described data by any data of validator controller request individual/financial type, so just " reminding me ".
The value of a plurality of nails that has data transmitter thereon is as follows: if nail reduce, undesired, or because nail growth causes capacitor to exceed muscle under the nail and becoming of changing thoroughly that their value causes is invalid, its just allows redundant.An example is exactly when spending a holiday for a long time.It just allows the information of storage different stage, different classes of and different amounts, and by the conscious selection of wearer and be provided to the validator receiver.For example one only is worn over the name and address of only confirming the user on the little finger of toe, and one is worn on the middle finger and can has the Financial Information that can be used for the validator controller.The wearer can also carry or available more total data and function.
If the sun power receiver is battery operated in the luminous energy zone rather than the RF zone of frequency spectrum, it just can recharge power supply in the data transmitter and battery by environment for use light, especially is not used in the period of communicating by letter with the validator controller at it.This power supply can be used for other purposes, such as wearer's pulse rates and/or electric capacity the cycle/the monitor timer of chance checks, and/or the signal of the validator receiver that arrives soon after amplified and improves so that it can be worked in bigger distance.
Can be placed on the data transmitter top to small-sized transparent keyboard so that wearer's energy input code changes the state of data transmitter, perhaps the authorization data transmitter discharges information or makes the particular category of information and the validator controller that the zone can be used for asking it.For example, this information can comprise medical records or particular credit card number.
Can further introduce safety feature, wherein use is simple and easy to chain rupture road (circuit with the lead from the data transmitter to the nail, the continuous detecting that wherein is bonded in and gets back to data transmitter or switch or correct capacitance) and can detects removing of data transmitter.Drop from the wearer or remove without pre-authorization and under the situation about removing at data transmitter, oneself the data that data transmitter is wiped or forbidden that it will send.
Should be noted that nail is finger tip the most available the tightst zone, and finger tip also is body kinematics and the fastest and the most variable zone of state.Therefore, maximum possible is sent to the equipment that is installed on the nail to those states, to validator controller, switch or the external world.
Further improving is exactly the tuning or adjusting " regulating constant " of generator, afterwards it is added to capacitance, and can uses when upgrading data transmitter, does not therefore just need to reaffirm/introduce again.The special safe condition that upgrades is to preventing that these characteristics are used for forging or distorting useful.Therefore, a kind ofly eliminate that to need the method in the stage of introducing again after removing and upgrading data transmitter on the nail be handle ' especially ' security control signal, send to data transmitter together with adjustment that is added to original real-time capacitance or regulated value, it is identical or enough approaching with old capacitance to send to the new final capacitance of data transmission machine equipment like this, thereby does not need the data transmission machine equipment is introduced the action of validator controller to reaffirm the individual and to take to expect again.In addition, " accepting new value as the constant of proofreading and correct and regulate you " signal that can be safe in utilization carries out this process.This makes the reposition of data transmitter can be confirmed by another independent validator controller afterwards.
Another improves the sound wave pulse that just is to use by ultrasonic transducer generating, it is sent in subungual muscle or transmit by nail, and read echo not can be used for attempting to produce artificial nails muscle under nail with further checking nail thickness and/or checking unauthorized artificial objects along nail.It also can be used for verifying other yardsticks of nail, i.e. width and length or the like.
Should be noted that, the combined capacity that this device measuring forms by plate regions, any induction bonding agent, any insulation adhesive mixture, any other synergistic texture ratio such as electrostatic screening, by the overall measurement of the dielectric constant influence of individual's groove and wearer's nail, and do not need always to measure the thickness of wearer's nail.
Read individual's nail groove shapes by the top that electrod-array is placed on the resistance potpourri, fill recess and also will cover the protuberance of nail groove with described potpourri, interelectrode like this resistance has read the degree of depth that just is subjected to nail groove and protuberance and position influence.
In addition, if pole plate is bonded in nail (as in the preferred embodiment), bonding agent can also should have different dielectric constant with individual unguis hominis so, and the bondline thickness on groove yardstick and convex ridge yardstick and all the convex ridge tops can influence final total capacitance to be measured, and adds physical factor at random when using or using again.
Replace or except pushing finger muscles so that variable color or use wearer's keyboard or instruction or the data that other devices are handled his data transmission machine chip under the nail can also use accelerometer to read finger motion and conversion and interpreter and be instruction to data transmitter logic chip or validator controller.
Also be appreciated that according to semiconductor manufacturing progress and economic feasibility, the validator receiver can be installed in or be configured in the same chip of validator logical circuit on, and they can see parts as.
Though be not restriction, the present invention 10 is used in particular for trigger action instrument, storage unit, locking device, software logic key, personal identification system, credit affirmation system, computing machine access, the transfer of funds and other e-commerce transaction, authorizes access occasion, third party's information trading, transportation and transmission transaction, the Internet transaction, medicine transaction, licence, registration, visa and passport to handle or the like.
In specific examples, validator controller 12 is installed in the trigger triggering of weapon before and protects.Allowing/forbid controller 58 is solenoid slip releasing meanss of installing and being adjusted to trigger movement closest approach and place, solstics after the weapon.Trigger equipment 60 is weapon flip flop equipments.Data transmitter 14 is bonded in a unguis hominis.The capacitor plate 34 that contacts with human nail 24 forms measurable specific and independent capacitance (approximately 1.000-25.000 pico farad) according to the position and the zone of unguis hominis's characteristic (for example thickness) and capacitor plate 34.Usually the nearly 5 square millimeters area of capacitor plate 34.Capacitor plate 34 is connected in inductor 46 to form resonant circuit.
Then, key is inserted validator controller 12, and the individual is placed on his or her finger on the weapon trigger, pushes his or her finger engagement pushbutton switch, unlatching safety equipment 10.Validator logical circuit 20 makes pulse producer turn-on data transmitter 14, capacitor plate 34 and the inductor 46 (resonant circuit) in the validator transmitter 38.Characteristic frequency " jingle bell " or the vibration of this resonant circuit to determine by the value of inductor 46 and human nail's 24 electric capacity.Receive this frequency or data-signals 22 by validator receiver 18, and be the actual frequency of unit with MHz, and it is transformed into 8-36 bits by validator logical circuit 20 countings.Validator logical circuit 20 is stored in frequency values among the flash memory PROM in the validator logical circuit 20 subsequently, and this logical circuit is 8 MPU normally, such as Motorola MC6811 or based on the MPU of microchip PIC.Remove key subsequently, and the individual prepares equipment 10 safe in utilization.In addition, safety equipment 10 operation after 10 minutes not from validator receiver 18 received signals, just closing it oneself.In addition, the individual can come closing unit 10 by engaging same pushbutton switch again.
Use the equipment of this specific examples, the individual is placed on his or her finger on the weapon trigger, and pushes his or her finger forward to engage pushbutton switch, and it opens validator controller 12.Validator controller 12 uses the above Same Way to measure the electric capacity and the final resonance frequency of human nail's sensor circuit 30, if and this value is reduced within the little codomain of number percent of initial pull-in frequency value (being stored among the flash memory PROM of validator logical circuit 20), validator logical circuit 20 just sends electric current by solenoid and triggers locking device to discharge so, allows to start trigger.Validator controller 12 can also be sounded a buzzer, and bright lamp, slight vibration or judged by the individual indicate personal armament to prepare to use.It is how near that validator controller 12 can also indicate validator controller 12 to leave the validity of determining individual electric current capacitance, may need to proofread and correct or introducing more again.
The individual is the continuous affirmation after daystart takes action to verify in this day usually.The individual also can take the actual use of identical process weapon, except discharging the mechanical safety device of weapon.Under non-more new situation, be connected in validator controller 12 with line during safety equipment, and safety equipment are opened it and are had two positions: a test validator controller, second place machinery discharge open fire device so that weapon be ready to.
In another specific examples, wherein validator controller 12 is installed on the weapon, and key inserts in the validator controller 12, and the individual is placed on his or her finger on the weapon trigger, and pushes his or her finger with the joint pushbutton switch.Pushbutton switch is opened validator controller 12 and is discharged the validator contact spring, and the nail that makes it face toward the people pushes forward.In this example, the validator contact spring is a direct physical Connection Element 32.The validator contact spring is gold-plated and contacts the large tracts of land goldleaf that is bonded in a unguis hominis.The validator controller can read and write down by goldleaf pole plate, individual unguis hominis and nail and respond to the electric capacity that muscle forms down now.Can measure this electric capacity by many methods, such as using switched capacitor circuit (it is integrated to have the CMOS mixed signal) to measure specific capacitance values.The advantage of this method is at these capacitances, and electric capacity is low more, and electric current is more little, therefore needs power supply to measure.Subsequently end value is stored among the flash memory PROM of validator logical circuit 20, normally has 8 MPC of flash memory and EEPROM nonvolatile memory, such as Motorola MC6811 series processors.Remove key subsequently, and the individual prepares use equipment 10.Safety equipment 10 not have to measure the electric capacity of " rationally " after 10 minutes in operation, show not exist an individual finger just to close it oneself.In addition, the individual can come closing unit 10 by engaging above-mentioned same pushbutton switch again.
In operation, the his or her finger of user is placed on the weapon trigger, and pushes his or her finger forward to engage pushbutton switch, and it is opened validator controller 12 and discharges the validator contact spring, and the nail that makes it face toward the people pushes forward.Validator controller 12 uses the above Same Way to measure the electric capacity of human nail's sensor circuit 30, if and formerly this value of stage is reduced within the initial little codomain of introducing of number percent of individual, validator logical circuit 20 just sends electric current by solenoid and triggers locking device to discharge so, allows to pull trigger.
A kind of expectation that forms and read unguis hominis's capacitance characteristic but the method that reduces degree of accuracy slightly be induction spring tail end use about 3 millimeters to 5 millimeters flexibly, soft, circle-rectangle or oval induction region surface, it can be consistent with human nail 24 surface configuration.This method does not need goldleaf and any other semipermanent variable color or coating on nail.Induction spring contact nail surface also substitutes the semipermanent capacitor plate that applies or be bonded on the nail.Select large scale can prevent further that child from using weapon, because soft pole plate can contact at the muscle on they significantly less finger limits and be easy to be detected.A contact in this case, capacitor is " short circuit " fully.In addition, because significantly thin nail thickness, child's electric capacity can be significantly higher, and will be rejected outside scope in the above-described initial introducing stage.
Still in another specific weapon example, data transmitter 14 is bonded in individual's nail.Capacitor plate 34 is integrated in data transmitter 14, and near or contact with nail and to locate it, to form measurable specific and individualized electric capacity.This unique individualization electric capacity depends on individual's nail characteristic, especially their nail thickness, their thumbnail and the size and the position of capacitor plate 34.As before, key is inserted validator controller 12, and the individual is placed on his or her finger on the weapon trigger, and push his or her finger engaging pushbutton switch and, its irradiation and to nail solar cell 40 and data transmitter 14 circuit supplies to the power supply of the LED in the validator transmitter 38.The nail solar cell sends to nail digit chip 42 to energy, and it has the low voltage cmos mixed signal based on integrated switched capacitor circuit.Nail digit chip 42 is exclusively used in identical charges transmission turnaround sequence that use finds in the low-power consumption A/D converter and measures nail electric capacity and (form on nail, in 0-25 pf capacitance value scope), and measurement capacitance is transformed into 8 to 24 binary number.This binary number with such as verification and and other data combinations of sequence number be 60 greatly in nail digit chip 42 altogether.Occur to the transmission of IR transmitter LED in the serial binary mode by the shift register of 200KHz clock normally, it shines validator receiver 18 (also can be infrared ray) subsequently.Validator logical circuit 20 from validator receiver 18 obtain cmos voltage level digital data, checking verification and or CRC sign indicating number, the capacitance that sent of coupling, and storage nail digit chip 42 sequence numbers and nail measurement capacitance among the flash memory PROM in validator logical circuit 20.Remove key subsequently, and the individual prepares to use it.In operation, operate the safety equipment 10 of this example as previously discussed.
In this mode, authorized user is not easy to lose the present invention 10 or is stolen.In addition, the present invention easily is updated to the safety equipment of existing apparatus and system 10.In addition, safety equipment 10 lose during his weapon at validated user or be afterwards can not use or can't effectively use.In addition, the present invention 10 provides and produces that essence is non-duplicates or the signaling equipment of non-covering signal the security of increase equipment 10.
