Abstract

The invention relates to a method for activating secured objects. Said method uses a device that is separate from the object. A biometric pattern is input into the device in order to activate the object. The biometric pattern is compared with a predetermined pattern. The device constantly monitors the distance to the object. The object is activated or remains switched 'on' if the result of the comparison is positive and the predetermined distance to the object is maintained.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Aktivierung von gesicherten ObjektenActivation of secured objects
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Aktivierung von gesicherten Objekten.The invention relates to a method for activating secured objects.
Unter solchen Objekten sind beispielsweise Schusswaffen, aber auch Automobile, Lastkraftwagen oder Schienenfahrzeuge zu verstehen. Zu diesen Objekten zählen auch beispielsweise Endgeräte der Datenverarbeitungstechnik und der Kommunikationstechnik, deren Betrieb erhöhten Sicherheitsanforderungen beziehungsweise Sicherheitskontrollen unterliegt. Endgeräte der Datenverarbeitungstechnik sind beispielsweise stationäre Personal Computer oder mobile Laptops und Notebooks. Endgeräte der Kommunikationstechnik sind vorzugsweise Mobilfunkgeräte, sogenannte Handys.Such objects include firearms, for example, but also automobiles, trucks or rail vehicles. These objects also include, for example, end devices in data processing technology and communication technology, the operation of which is subject to increased security requirements or security controls. Data processing technology devices are, for example, stationary personal computers or mobile laptops and notebooks. Communication technology terminals are preferably mobile radio devices, so-called cell phones.
Bisher waren Schusswaffen im Allgemeinen mit einer mechanischen Sicherung versehen. Diese sorgt im Wesentlichen dafür, dass sich nicht unbeabsichtigt ein Schuss löst. Die mechanische Sicherung wird beispielsweise durch eine in den Abzugs- beziehungsweise Verschlussbereich einsetzbare und abschließbare Vorrichtung erreicht. Eine so gesicherte Waffe ist nur schwer beziehungsweise langsam in einen feuerbereiten Zustand zu bringen. Eine Sicherung gegen unbefugte Benutzung ist nicht möglich.Until now, firearms have generally been provided with mechanical security. This essentially ensures that a shot is not accidentally released. The mechanical securing is achieved, for example, by means of a lockable device that can be inserted into the trigger or lock area. A weapon secured in this way is difficult or slow to bring it into a ready-to-fire condition. Protection against unauthorized use is not possible.
Bei Automobilen werden vorzugsweise sogenannte Wegfahrsperren gegen eine unberechtigte Benutzung verwendet. Diese Wegfahrsperre verhindert ein Starten des Motors, solange nicht eine vorgegebene Kodierung eingegeben wird. Die Eingabe kann durch den Fahrer selbst erfolgen, oder sie kann beispielsweise automatisch vom Zündschlüssel abgelesen werden. Die Kodierung ist hierbei magnetisch im Zündschlüssel gespeichert. Bei Endgeräten der Kommunikationstechnik, beispielsweise einem Personalcomputer, erfolgt die Nutzungskontrolle im Allgemeinen über eine Zugangskontrolle, das heisst über eine Chipkarte oder auch zusätzlich zur Eingabe einer PIN (Persönliche Identifizierungs Nummer) .So-called immobilizers against unauthorized use are preferably used in automobiles. This immobilizer prevents the engine from starting unless a specified code is entered. The input can be made by the driver himself or it can be automatically read from the ignition key, for example. The coding is magnetically stored in the ignition key. In the case of end devices in communication technology, for example a personal computer, the usage control is generally carried out via an access control, that is to say via a chip card or also in addition to entering a PIN (personal identification number).
Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, sind zur Zeit Waffen mit Fingeprint- Erkennung in der Entwicklung. Hierbei wird über einen Sensor, den sogenannten Fingertipsensor, der Fingerabdruck des Nutzers ausgewertet und auf seine Autorisierung hin überprüft. Ein solches Verfahren wird bereits bei Mobiltelefonen eingesetzt.In order to remedy this situation, weapons with fingerprint recognition are currently under development. Here, the fingerprint of the user is evaluated by a sensor, the so-called fingertip sensor, and its authorization is checked. Such a method is already used in mobile phones.
Für Ordnungs- und Sicherheitskräfte ist Voraussetzung, dass die Waffe innerhalb von Sekundenbruchteilen abgefeuert werden kann. Das bedeutet, dass innerhalb dieser kurzen Zeitspanne von dem Zustand, in dem die Waffe gegen die versehentliche Schussabgabe und Missbrauch gesichert ist, diese Sperre aufgehoben werden kann. Diese Zuverlässigkeit ist für den Nutzer überlebensnotwendig.For law enforcement and security forces, the prerequisite is that the weapon can be fired in a split second. This means that within this short period of time, from the state in which the weapon is secured against accidental firing and abuse, this lock can be released. This reliability is vital for the user to survive.
Fingertipsensoren sind in gewisser Weise störanfällig, insbesondere bei Fehlbedienung unter Stress, und sie benötigen obendrein eine gewisse Auswertezeit. Diese Auswertezeit liegt momentan im Sekundenbereich. Es ist denkbar, die Waffe schon vor dem Ernstfall über den Fingertipsensor scharf zu schalten. Hierbei geht aber ein wesentlicher Teil der Sicherheitsfunktion verloren, da die dem Schützen entwendete Waffe gegen ihn selbst verwendet werden kann.Finger tip sensors are somewhat prone to failure, especially when operated incorrectly under stress, and they also require a certain evaluation time. This evaluation time is currently in the range of seconds. It is conceivable to arm the weapon using the fingertip sensor before an emergency. However, a substantial part of the security function is lost here, since the gun stolen from the shooter can be used against himself.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nützungskontrolle von gesicherten Objekten derart auszubilden, dass die oben genannten Nachteile vermieden werden. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Patentanspruch angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object of the invention is to design the usage control of secured objects in such a way that the disadvantages mentioned above are avoided. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the patent claim.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment.
Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform trägt der Schütze an der Schiesshand ein Armband, ähnlich einer Uhr. In dieser Uhr befindet sich der an sich bekannte Fingertipsensor. Als sekundäre Benutzeroberfläche kann an der Uhr eine Scharf-In a first embodiment, the shooter wears a bracelet on his shooting hand, similar to a watch. In this watch there is the known finger tip sensor. As a secondary user interface, a
/Unscharfanzeige, sowie eventuell mehrere Tasten zur Eingabe einer PIN vorhanden sein./ Disarmed display and possibly several keys for entering a PIN are available.
Zur Durchführung der Erfindung weist beispielsweise das Armband der Uhr einen umlaufenden Sensordraht mitTo carry out the invention, for example, the wristband of the watch has a rotating sensor wire
Kontaktflächen im Verschluss des Armbandes auf. Wenn das Armband durchtrennt oder der Verschluss geöffnet wird, so wird eine vorher durch den Sensor gegebene Freigabe zurückgesetzt. Im Armband befindet sich weiter ein Sender mit geringer Reichweite oder ein Interrogator mit Erkennung der Signallaufzeit. Als Übertragungsmedium kann Funk, Ultraschall, Infrarot, Induktion oder durch Berührung der' Waffe geleitete Elektrizität sein. Das vom Sender abgegebene Signal ist kodiert. In der Waffe befindet sich ein Empfänger für das kodierte Signal des Armband-Senders. Nur solange das Signal des Armband-Senders erkannt wird, wird die elektromechanische beziehungsweise pneumatische Piezoverriegelung der Waffe aufgehoben, und somit ist eine Schussabgabe ermöglicht. Bei dieser laufenden Abstandsüberwachung zwischen dem Armbandsender und demContact areas in the clasp of the bracelet. If the bracelet is cut or the clasp is opened, a release previously given by the sensor is reset. In the bracelet there is also a transmitter with a short range or an interrogator with detection of the signal delay. The transmission medium can be radio, ultrasound, infrared, induction or electricity guided by touching the weapon. The signal emitted by the transmitter is encoded. There is a receiver in the weapon for the coded signal from the wristband transmitter. The electromechanical or pneumatic piezolocking of the weapon is only released as long as the signal from the wristband transmitter is recognized, and a shot is thus made possible. With this ongoing distance monitoring between the wristband transmitter and the
Empfänger in der Schusswaffe, erfolgt beispielsweise eine Signalabgabe alle hundert Millisekunden.The receiver in the firearm, for example, emits a signal every hundred milliseconds.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird die Betriebssicherheit weiter dadurch erhöht, dass die Waffe ähnlich einem Transponder ein Antwortsignal an das Armband zurücksendet. Hierdurch lässt sich zuverlässig eine maximale Entfernung durch LaufZeitmessung exakt einhalten und zusätzlich eine verbindliche Rückmeldung der Waffe über den Feuerbereit-Status an das Armband durchführen.In a further development of the invention, operational safety is further increased in that the weapon sends a response signal back to the bracelet similar to a transponder. This allows a maximum to be reliably Maintain distance exactly by running time measurement and additionally carry out a binding feedback of the weapon about the ready status to the bracelet.
Der Schütze trägt als quasi abgesetztes Teil der Waffe die elektronische Sicherung am Körper. Er kann vor Dienstantritt beziehungsweise vor dem Einsatz in Ruhe die Erkennung über den Fingertipsensor durchführen.The shooter wears the electronic safety device on his body as a quasi detached part of the weapon. He can carry out the detection using the fingertip sensor at rest before starting work or before use.
Eine Anzeige am Armband meldet jederzeit, ob die Waffe im Bedarfsfall schussbereit ist, oder ob sie aktiviert werden muss .A display on the wristband indicates at any time whether the weapon is ready to fire if necessary or whether it needs to be activated.
Wird dem Schützen die Waffe entwendet, so befindet sich diese ausser Reichweite des Armbandes, und somit ist die Waffe unscharf und stellt keine Bedrohung für den Schützen dar.If the gunner is stolen, the gun is out of reach of the wristband, so the gun is out of focus and does not pose a threat to the shooter.
Der legitime Besitzer der Waffe kann durch Öffnen des Armbandes jederzeit die Waffe entschärfen, falls sie von einem Unbefugten in unmittelbarer Nähe zu seinem Armband gebracht wird.The legitimate owner of the weapon can disarm the weapon at any time if it is brought in close proximity to his bracelet by an unauthorized person.
Analog kann ein Auto oder ein Endgerät der Datenverarbeitung gesichert werden. Über den Fingertipsensor erfolgt die Authentifikation des Autofahrers beziehungsweise Benutzers. Beim Aussteigen aus dem Auto wird auf Grund des jetzt vergrösserten Abstandes die Wegfahrsperre aktiviert. Das gleiche gilt, wenn der PC-Benutzer beispielsweise den Raum mit der Rechenanlage verläßt. Similarly, a car or a data processing device can be secured. The driver or user is authenticated via the fingertip sensor. When getting out of the car, the immobilizer is activated due to the now increased distance. The same applies if the PC user leaves the room with the computing system, for example.
