Gunshot detection sensor with display
First Claim
1. A method of providing information for display regarding a weapon fire incident, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a central processor in communication with a sensor, acoustic data regarding a potential gunshot event detected by the sensor, the sensor including a sensor microphone, a processor and a GPS receiver, wherein the sensor is part of an array of sensors and has an associated display;
processing location information of the sensor determined via the GPS receiver;
processing, via the central processor, location information related to the gunshot event; and
providing positional information regarding a source location of the gunshot event for display on the associated display.

Abstract
A system for locating and identifying an acoustic event such as gunfire. The inventive system employs a plurality of man wearable acoustic sensors for detecting gunfire, each acoustic sensor having a display associated therewith for displaying information concerning the acoustic event to a user. In preferred embodiments, the sensor includes a microphone for receiving acoustic information; an A/D converter; a processor for processing the digitized signal to detect a gunshot and determine a time of arrival; a GPS receiver for determining the position of the acoustic sensor; and a network interface for bidirectional communication with a system server. Preferably the display comprises: an LCD; and an electronically readable compass. When the display and acoustic sensor are in separate housings, the acoustic sensor includes a transmitter and the display includes a receiver for transferring the gunshot information.
