US Patent 11990027 Generating alerts based on connection status by conducted electrical weapons

A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may deploy electrodes toward a target to electrically couple to the target. The CEW may be configured to detect a connection status of at least one electrode of the deployed electrodes. A positive connection status represents a connection being established between the at least one electrode and the target. The CEW may generate an alert in accordance with the connection status. The alert may comprise one or more of an audible alert, a haptic alert, or a visual alert.
