Smart Holster System

摘要

A smart holster system includes a holster and an electronic data storage device (EDSD) having authorized user identification information stored therein. The holster includes a holster body, a latch and a control system. The holster body forms a compartment having a latch receptacle, where the trigger area of a handgun stored in the compartment is disposed within the latch receptacle. A first portion of the latch is moveable between extended withdrawn positions with the latch first portion being disposed within the latch receptacle when it is in the extended position. The control system unlocks the holster when a control system EDSD reader detects the authorized user identification information stored in the EDSD, permitting movement of the latch first portion from the extended position to the withdrawn position.
