Authentication and unlocking system and method utilizing magnetic actuation

A magnetically actuated authentication and unlocking system is provided that is particularly suited for integration into a firearm, but that can also be incorporated into any device that requires an operator to hold a grip, handle or stick controller. The system includes a locking mechanism that is installed in a device and an unlocking mechanism that is preferably incorporated into wearable gear, such as a glove. The system utilizes magnets in the locking mechanism and unlocking mechanism, such that when a user wearing an unlock mechanism encoded with the correct magnetic "key" holds the device with the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism unlocks the device. 提供了特别适用于集成到枪支中的磁致动式认证与解锁系统，而且也可以集成到需要操作者握持手柄、把手或棒状控制器的任何装置中。该系统包括安装在装置中的锁定机构和优选集成到诸如手套之类的可穿戴齿轮中的解锁机构。该系统利用锁定机构和解锁机构中的磁体，使得当佩戴用正确的磁性"密钥"编码的解锁机构的用户握持具有锁定机构的装置时，该锁定机构解锁该装置。
