Easily carry and operate handheld lighter wireless security devices using one or two hands. I can, for example, transport security, transportation operations, corporate security, education preservation, first responder organizations, government agencies, the Department of Defense, and homeland security All of the personnel can easily carry and use the security device 10. The security device of the present invention can be used in a wide variety of ways and used for a variety of purposes, and thus the present invention also encompasses various methods of using the security device. Example = D, the present invention encompasses - a method for identifying objects of interest in a closed container such as, but not limited to, a bag at an airport or a container for US Customs and Border Patrol, and one for A method of locating hidden life forms (such as anti-insurance, individuals or other suspects). The 2 significant methods covered by the present invention are methods for handling preservation violations such as, but not limited to, security violations at airports. These methods are described step by step using the following examples. ^ The factory identifies objects of interest in the closed container. Identifying the energy of an object of interest in a closed container is an important preservation issue. For example, the old machine, the whole person often found the discarded duffel bag. Because the discarded line (4) can be used for items such as bombs that pose a very serious risk of preservation, airport personnel must treat the baggage with great care. Today, airport personnel have three options to dispose of the duffel bag: pick up and move the bag, call back help from the airport's internal airport, or call the explosion-proof team. = = before the choice and t, drag + day, „ 芘 田 田 田 MM MM % % % % % % 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 必须 % 必须 必须By using the security device of the present invention, the airport personnel can scan the bag with an ultra-wide frequency transmission 103896-951218.doc -14·1307583 ground radar and view the image generated by the radar in real time to see if there is any feeling in the δHai bag. An object of interest or concern, especially a dense object. If there are no dense objects, the airport personnel should be able to pick up the bag and move it to another location for ray and physical inspection. If there are dense objects, then because of the bag There are objects of interest or concern, so the airport personnel will then know that they need to call back to help or call the explosion-proof team. Once the backup help arrives, the respondent will be able to view the images produced by the radar, giving them additional information to decide how best The continuation of this situation may occur in other locations, including other transportation centers, office buildings, trade and social meetings. Sports events, educational locations, power plants, and hospitals. Personnel located at any location in such locations can easily carry the security device for the present invention in a similar situation. This use of the security device is also particularly applicable to US Customs and Borders. The patrol is inspecting the objects of interest or concern in the container without damage. Example II: Positioning hidden life forms. Positioning hidden life forms can also be an important preservation measure. For example, suspects can try to build in the building. Behind the wall or at the corner (where traditional surveillance equipment cannot see him) to hide his followers. However, the security device of the present invention will be able to view the hidden suspects using the infrared capabilities of at least one of its cameras. The infrared mode camera scans the area where the suspect can hide and captures the infrared image of the area. If there is a suspect or any other life form, the infrared image will generate an indicative thermal signal. Therefore, if the suspect is hidden At the corner, the infrared camera image in the corner area will display a thermal signal, which means A life form is shown near the corner. This security device 103896-951218.doc -15- 1307583 t can be used for any situation where it is necessary to locate hidden individuals or other life forms. Example III: handling preservation violations. Handling security breaches the basic functions of security personnel in all security locations. For example, almost every day at an airport in the world, someone violates the airport security system by not passing through the security checkpoint. When this security violation occurs, the image of the individual violation is usually captured by the security camera. When the airport security personnel realize that a violation has occurred, they usually send a message (usually by sending an > chime or flashing selected light at the airport) to The remaining security personnel in the airport are to alert them to the violation. The security order and control center then typically describes the violation individual to all security personnel by two-way radio. However, some locations in the airport may not be able to adequately receive two-way radio signals, and because some of these security personnel may have missed the description. Furthermore, contrary to visual descriptions or actual photographs, verbal descriptions of violations of individuals may be inaccurate or may be too broad or too narrow, making it difficult to locate and understand that the I violates the individual. If the individual is not known, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the Transportation Safety Administration require the removal of the airport terminal to enable an entity search. This procedure shuts down the airport terminal for several hours, which costs millions of dollars in lost taxes and delays hundreds of flights. However, if the airport security personnel carry the security device in accordance with the present invention, it will be much easier to quickly locate and understand the violation of the individual. For example, a picture from a security camera can be sent from a security order and control center to a security device that is carried by all security personnel. Therefore, all security personnel will be able to view 103896-951218.doc -16- 1307583 in violation of the actual picture of the individual, rather than relying on the verbal description. Feedback from the self-contained camera can also be sent directly to the security device carried by all security personnel so that the security personnel can view images of individual violations taken at any location, not just the security order and control center. In addition, once the security personnel finds an individual who looks like a person in the picture, the security personnel can take a picture with the security device and send the picture to the command and control center and/or to other personnel carrying the security device and confirm They have positioned the right individual. Using the biometric scanner of the security device, the security personnel may also require the individual to provide a fingerprint, which the security device can then send to the NIST server to verify that the individual is the person he or she claims to be. Example 1V: Proving suspicious activity. In the case of a potential criminal act, capturing the person (multiple persons) involved in the activity is an event. The conviction was obtained in court for another incident. One reason for this difficulty revolves around the nature of the evidence. In most cases, the evidence is based on the authenticity (for example, a digital image may be altered by a relatively unobtrusive way to access a relatively simple piece of software) and is subject to an attacked "outdated" Video or still picture. There is also the issue of claiming the verifiable identity of the perpetrator. The use of the present invention 'security and legal enforcement personnel has the ability to obtain suspicious behavior of cocoa to verify digital video and still pictures, to perform positive identification, and to quickly generate appropriate paperwork. The user of the present invention, on the other hand, notices that a person who is engaged in suspicious activity obtains a digital still image of the person he is engaged in. When the image is acquired using the present invention, a watermark is added to the picture. The watermark is added to the original image and is provided on the still image before applying a typical compression algorithm (eg, compressing the image to jpg, Hf, or gif 103896-951218.do. -17-.1307583 #) The image is immutable and is suitable for use as evidence in court. Without a watermark, digital images are susceptible to operations performed using such software programs as Photosh〇P. Therefore, it is often difficult to rely on ordinary digital images as evidence in court. The ability to acquire video can be beneficial if the monitored behavior is substantially active. When digital video is acquired using the present invention, a water mark is also added. A camera of the present invention is used to obtain an original digital footage that is preferably in the H263 standard. When the continuous lens is acquired, a watermark is applied. Thereafter, the video is preferably compressed in the gmpeg format. This method is a significant improvement over prior art watermarking systems that apply watermarks during or after compression. This "provides security and reliability during the watermark or after the watermark, but lacks the absolute preservation and reliability of this method. Like a static image, the presence of the watermark makes the video unchangeable, and because of the way it is applied, it is virtually impeccable in court. • In addition to being able to capture suspicious activity using permissible video and/or still images, various other verifications and certifications are available. With the built-in Gps system, locations of suspicious activity can be accurately 'identified and recorded along with the exact time of the event. Biometric scanners can be used to immediately fingerprint suspected or detained persons and compare their fingerprints to the authorized personnel's on-board database or via the Internet or other networks with wireless access. Remote database for comparison β Use the built-in form generator to record all fingerprints, digital still images, location and time data and their analogues into pre-existing or newly created forms 103896-951218.doc •18- l3〇7583 in. These forms make it easy and easy to complete arrests and incident reports. It also makes it possible for information about suspicious people and activities to be more likely to spread quickly among I, who can provide information about such awkward characters, activities, or other information. Example VI: Tracking the first responder. One of the difficulties in legally mandated and catastrophic situations is the maintenance of tracking of the deployment of firefighters, police officers, explosion-proof panels and their analogues. If someone is injured, trapped or missing, time becomes more critical. The present invention provides active 2 RFID capabilities to enable tracking of people and objects in such situations. For example, each firefighter and police officer can be given an RFID tag with a unique code. Weapons, explosives and rescue equipment can be given similar labels. In the case where it is said that one or more people will fall to one or more people (for example, one of the buildings is about to collapse), the present invention allows the user to identify and locate each marked person or each marked device in order to They warn of specific dangers or install rescues in the event that they cannot return to safety. This is accomplished by using active RFID to locate and identify people or objects and present them on a chart or on the glory of a handheld device. The active RFID system of the present invention can also be used to secretly track baggage or other items of interest. Small RFID tags can be placed on items and their locations monitored by the handheld device of the present invention. Thus, if a marked baggage is stopped somewhere it should not stop, the fact can be immediately noticed and will be traced back to its travel history. The invention further encompasses a method for preventing the use of a security lockout system to compromise a security device. To prevent the jeopardization of one of the important functions of the device, this 103896-951218.doc • 19-1307583 is because it helps to ensure that the device can only be used by those who are authorized to use it. Ideally, the security personnel order and control center at the security location will provide an authorized individual with a time limit for recording or authenticating the security device. If the time limit is terminated before the authorized individual records or authenticates, the display screen on the security device desirably turns black and a harmless message such as "Please wait" appears. Microphones, recording devices, cameras, and global positioning systems or other location sensors are ideally activated so that the command and control center can locate the security device and view and hear anything recorded by the security device so that if the device is evil When the intended person gets it, they can monitor their activity without their knowledge. Using software as part of the present invention, the administrator of the network used with the present invention and the individual using the handheld device can determine when to engage in fraud, scanning or intrusion into the device or network. This detection system provides two main options when an attack of this nature is detected. The first choice is to identify the attack and stop it. However, if the attack appears to be from a known or suspected source, then the software can then (4) attack the attacker who believes that it is accessing the real system. In such cases, false information may be provided to mislead or endanger the attacker.

It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain substitutions, changes, modifications and omissions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
