Methods and systems for detecting a gun and/or bullet within one's vicinity via an electronic device

摘要

A projectile is presented including a casing, a propellant, and a primer configured to ignite the propellant. The projectile also includes an electronic beacon incorporated within the casing of the projectile, the electronic beacon configured to emit at least one signal to be received by at least one electronic device located within a pre-established vicinity of the projectile. The electronic device provides a notification indicating proximity of the projectile. The electronic beacon may be a radio transceiver operating at, at least one of a plurality of frequencies. The electronic device may be a mobile device. The notification is a visual notification or an audible notification or a combination thereof. The notification may indicate a safe condition or a danger condition based on an identifier of the electronic beacon.

主权项

1. A loaded gun detecting system, comprising:
at least one non-law enforcement user; at least one mobile device handled by the at least one non-law enforcement user; a gun handled by someone other than the at least one non-law enforcement user; and a projectile positioned within a magazine of the gun, the projectile including:
a casing;a propellant;a primer configured to ignite the propellant; andan electronic beacon incorporated within the casing of the projectile, the electronic beacon transmitting at least one signal detected by the at least one mobile device only while the at least one non-law enforcement user handling the at least one mobile device maintains a pre-established distance with respect to the projectile;wherein the at least one mobile device handled by the at least one non-law enforcement user is prompted to issue a loaded gun warning directly to the at least one non-law enforcement user handling the at least one mobile device, continuously and in real-time, only while a positional relationship is maintained between the electronic beacon of the projectile and the at least one mobile device handled by the at least one non-law enforcement user.
