Gun-ammunition intelligent system for owner recognition of portable guns

Abstract

An intelligent gun-ammunition system for a portable gun includes a gun having a handle; an owner recognition circuit having circuitry for recognizing an authorized grip on the handle and an activating circuit for allowing operation of a firing mechanism of the gun when authorized grip is recognized; ammunition for the gun; and an ammunition circuit communicated with the owner recognition circuit for allowing the ammunition to be fired when the owner recognition circuit recognizes the authorized grip.

1 . An intelligent gun-ammunition system for a portable gun comprising:
 a gun having a handle;   an owner recognition circuit comprising means for recognizing an authorized grip on the handle and an activating circuit for allowing operation of a firing mechanism of the gun when authorized grip is recognized;   ammunition for the gun; and   an ammunition circuit communicated with the owner recognition circuit for allowing the ammunition to be fired when the owner recognition circuit recognizes the authorized grip.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a visual indicator operatively associated with the owner recognition circuit for providing a visible indication of whether the authorized grip has been recognized. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the gun has an electrical ignition, and wherein the electrical ignition is controlled by the ammunition circuit. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the ammunition includes a squib, an ignition charge and propellant, and wherein firing the gun when the owner recognition circuit recognizes the authorized grip activates the ammunition circuit and starts a firing chain in the order of squib, ignition charge and then propellant. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the owner recognition circuit and the ammunition circuit prevent ignition of the propellant when the authorized grip is not recognized. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the gun further comprises a connection port for communicating with a processing device.
