Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherung für eine Handfeuerwaffe mit zumindest einem Sensor zur Bestimmung ihres Benutzers anhand von zumindest einem Finger.The present invention relates to a fuse for a Hand gun with at least one sensor for identification of their user using at least one finger.
Bisher bekannte Sicherungssystem für Handfeuerwaffen, d.h. für Kurz- oder Langwaffen, arbeiten nach mechanischen Prinzipien herkömmlicher Bauart. Mittels mechanischer Riegel werden Funktionselemente der Waffe gesperrt.Previously known security system for small arms, i.e. for handguns or long weapons, work according to mechanical Principles of conventional design. By means of mechanical Bolts are used to lock functional elements of the weapon.
Bei einer Waffe anderer Bauart findet eine elektrische Zündung der Munition statt. Eine Sicherung dieser elektrischen Zündung wird durch Sperrung oder Entnahme der Stromquelle bewirkt (Caliber / 5.1991, Seite 14).In the case of a weapon of another design, an electrical one is found Ignition of the ammunition instead. A backup of this electrical ignition is by blocking or removing the Current source causes (Caliber / 5.1991, page 14).
Andere Sicherungen sind in Caliber / 5.1991, Seite 65 und DWJ/1.1992, Seite 29 beschrieben.Other fuses are in Caliber / 5.1991, page 65 and DWJ / 1.1992, page 29.
Eine Sicherung der o.g. Art geht aus der G 92 07 173 U1 hervor. Dieses System nimmt Fingerabdrücke mittels Scannermodulen ab, um dann die Waffe zu sperren oder freizugeben. Die Abnahme der Fingerabdrücke durch herkömmliche Scannermodule ist jedoch sehr aufwendig und rechnerintensiv. Die übrigen Systeme sind nicht geeignet, die Waffe vor einer unbefugten Benutzung zu schützen.A backup of the above Art goes from the G 92 07 173 U1 forth. This system takes fingerprints Scanner modules to then lock the weapon or to release. The fingerprints through conventional scanner modules is very complex and computationally intensive. The other systems are not suitable to protect the weapon against unauthorized use.
Die US 5,603,179 beschreibt eine Sicherungseinrichtung für Handfeuerwaffen zum Erkennen von Hand- oder Fingerabdrücken von unterschiedlichen Personen. Dabei wird jeweils ein Scannersensor mit Infrarotlicht verwendet, der schrittweise einzelne Hautstrukturen eines Fingerabdruckes einscannt und in einer schlechten, grob aufgelösten Form die einzelnen Punkte des Fingerabdruckes als Referenzwert einer Überprüfung auf den zulässigen Benutzer zuführt. Nachteilig daran ist, dass ein derartiges Einscannen ungenau und äusserst zeitintensiv ist. Dabei sind eine Mehrzahl von Sensoren direkt an dem Abzug zugeordnet, um eine Hautstruktur einzuscannen. Ein schnelles Eingreifen positioniert nicht exakt und genau den Finger am Sensor, so dass ggf. durch Verschiebungen eine abgespeicherte Hautstruktur nicht exakt erkannt werden kann.US 5,603,179 describes a safety device for Handguns for recognizing hand or fingerprints from different people. Thereby a Scanner sensor with infrared light is used gradually scanned individual skin structures of a fingerprint and in a bad, roughly resolved form the individual Points of the fingerprint as a reference value Checks for the permissible user. Disadvantageous the fact is that such scanning is inaccurate and is extremely time consuming. There are a number of Sensors assigned to the trigger directly to a Scan skin structure. Quick intervention does not position the finger exactly and exactly on the sensor, so that, if necessary, a saved one due to shifts Skin structure can not be recognized exactly.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen sicheren Schutz einer Waffe vor unbefugter Benutzung zu gewährleisten, wobei dies schnell und kostengünstig erfolgen soll.The present invention is based on the object secure protection of a weapon against unauthorized use to ensure that this is quick and inexpensive should be done.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, dass mittels eines Sensors die Kapazität zwischen einer Sensoroberfläche und einem Fingerabschnitt ermittelt, aus den Spannungsunterschieden ein Bild des Fingerausschnitt erzeugt und dieses mit abgespeicherten Fingerausschnitten verglichen wird.This is achieved by means of a sensor the capacitance between a sensor surface and one Finger section determined from the voltage differences creates an image of the finger section and this with stored fingerprints is compared.
Derartige Sensoren sind bekannt und dienen bspw. der Aufhebung einer Zugangssperre zu einem Netzwerk oder der Identifikation von Menschen. Für den vorliegenden Fall eignen sie sich besonders zur Aufhebung der Sperre einer Handfeuerwaffe.Such sensors are known and serve, for example Removal of an access block to a network or the Identification of people. For the present case they are particularly suitable for unlocking one Handgun.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel soll der Sensor eine Scannerkamera sein, die eine optodigitale bzw. elektronische Aufnahme des Fingerabdruckes und/oder der Fingerkontur (Fingerprinting) ausführt.In a further exemplary embodiment, the sensor is said to be a Be a scanner camera that uses an opto-digital or electronic recording of the fingerprint and / or the Finger contouring.
Eine Scannerkamera hat gegenüber einem Scannermodul den Vorteil, dass sie in Bruchteilen von Sekunden einen Fingerabdruck erfassen und einer Rechnereinheit zuführen kann, die dann den Fingerabdruck mit gespeicherten Fingerabdrücken vergleicht. Die Scannerkamera arbeitet gegenüber einem Scannermodul wesentlich rascher und sicherer. Das von der Scannerkamera erfasste Bild kann sofort digitalisiert werden. A scanner camera has a scanner module Advantage that they unite in fractions of a second Capture fingerprint and feed it to a computing unit which can then save the fingerprint with Compares fingerprints. The scanner camera is working compared to a scanner module much faster and safer. The image captured by the scanner camera can be digitized immediately.
Ein Missbrauch ist ausgeschlossen, da die Waffe nur von dem berechtigten Benutzer in Funktionsfähigkeit versetzt werden kann. Selbst wenn Gewalt angewendet wird und der berechtigte Benutzer beispielsweise gezwungen wird, die Waffe zu umfassen, wird die Waffe nach dem Loslassen des Griffstücks durch den Benutzer wieder blockiert, so dass der Gewalttäter mit der Waffe nichts anfangen kann.Misuse is impossible, since the weapon is only from that authorized users can be made functional can. Even if violence is used and the For example, authorized users are forced to To include the weapon, the weapon will be released after releasing the Blocked by the user again, so that the violent can’t do anything with the weapon.
Eine ähnliche Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe wird auch dadurch erzielt, dass der Sensor ein elektrochemischer Sensor ist, der ein DNS-Fingerprinting ausführt. Der Sensor kann auch ein Ultraschallabtastungssensor sein, der mittels akkustischer Signalmessung die Fingerabdrücke des Benutzers abnimmt. Ferner ist es möglich, durch Herztonfrequenzsensoren die Bestimmung des Benutzers durch eine Vergleichsmessung der Herztonfrequenz durchzuführen. Derartige Sensoren sind handelsüblich, so dass auf eine nähere Beschreibung verzichtet wird.A similar solution to the task at hand will also achieved by making the sensor an electrochemical Is a sensor that performs DNS fingerprinting. The sensor can also be an ultrasound scanning sensor, which by means of acoustic signal measurement the user's fingerprints decreases. It is also possible to use heart rate sensors the determination of the user by a Perform a comparison measurement of the heart rate. Such sensors are commercially available, so that on a detailed description is omitted.
Bevorzugt ist die zumindest eine Scannerkamera zur Aufnahme des Fingerabdruckes in ein Griffstück der Handfeuerwaffe eingebaut. Denkbar ist allerdings auch die Anordnung an anderer Stelle, jedoch wird die Anordnung im Griffstück bevorzugt, da das Griffstück in der Regel vom Benutzer zum ordnungsgemässen Benutzen der Waffe umfasst werden muss.The at least one scanner camera is preferred for recording of the fingerprint in a handgun grip built-in. However, the arrangement is also conceivable elsewhere, however, the arrangement in the handle preferred because the handle is usually from the user to proper use of the weapon must be embraced.
Der Scannerkamera ist eine Rechnereinheit zugeordnet, die wiederum von einer Stromquelle versorgt wird. Beide Elemente befinden sich ebenfalls bevorzugt im Griffstück der Waffe.A computer unit is assigned to the scanner camera in turn is powered by a power source. Both Elements are also preferably in the handle the weapon.
Ferner ist der Rechnereinheit bevorzugt eine Speichereinheit zugeordnet, in welcher die Fingerabdrücke des oder der berechtigen Benutzer gespeichert sind. Diese Speichereinheit sollte so ausgelegt sein, dass sie von keinem Dritten geknackt werden kann.Furthermore, the computing unit is preferably one Storage unit assigned in which the fingerprints of the authorized user or users. This Storage unit should be designed so that it can cannot be cracked by a third party.
Als Sperren kommen vor allem elektromechanische Sperren in Frage, welche beispielsweise auf einen Abzug, einen Sicherungshebel, einen Hammer od. dgl. wirken. D.h., sie blockieren eines oder mehrere dieser Funktionselemente, können aber durch Strombeaufschlagung entsperrt werden.The main locks used are electromechanical locks Question which one, for example, on a deduction, a Lock lever, hammer or the like. That is, she block one or more of these functional elements, can be unlocked by applying current.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, eine Magazinhalterung zu blockieren. Damit ist es für einen nichtberechtigen Benutzer nicht möglich, das Magazin aus dem Griffstück zu entnehmen.Another option is to use a Block magazine holder. So that's it for one Unauthorized users cannot remove the magazine from the handle.
In einem besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, für das auch separater Schutz begehrt wird, ist der Handfeuerwaffe ein Funksignalgeber zugeordnet, welcher mit einem Satellitennavigationssystem in Verbindung gebracht werden kann. Damit dies nicht dauernd geschieht, was jedoch auch möglich ist, soll der Funksignalgeber erst nach einer bestimmten Zeit in Tätigkeit versetzt werden, sofern nicht ein berechtigter Benutzer durch Umschliessen des Griffstücks der Rechnereinheit zu verstehen gibt, dass sich die Waffe nach wie vor im Besitz eines berechtigen Benutzers befindet. Beispielsweise kann diese Zeit etwa 12 Stunden betragen, da etwa innerhalb dieser Zeit, sei es zum Einstecken der Waffe in ein Halfter, sei es zur Entnahme der Waffe aus dem Halfter nach Beendigung eines Dienstes, beispielsweise eines Polizisten, notwendig ist, dass dieser das Griffstück in die Hand nimmt. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the Invention for which separate protection is also sought the handgun is assigned a radio signal transmitter, which connected to a satellite navigation system can be brought. So that this doesn't happen all the time, however, what is also possible is the radio signal transmitter be put into action after a certain period of time, unless an authorized user by enclosing of the handle of the computer unit indicates that the weapon is still in possession of one User. For example, this time can be around 12 Hours, as within this time, be it for Insert the weapon into a holster, be it for removal the weapon from the holster after finishing a job, for example, a police officer, it is necessary that this takes the handle in hand.
