Claim 11:
12. A method of using a furniture inlay personal protection shield that is removable from furniture to provide personal protection, in an emergency, from bodily harm threats, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a remote lock signal from a remote data processing resource, by way of a communication interface, and locking a quick-release lever, by way of an electronic lock, to prevent use of the quick-release lever to release an inlay interlock; or
receiving a remote unlock signal from the remote data processing resource, by way of the communication interface, and unlocking the quick-release lever, by way of the electronic lock, for use prior to using the quick-release lever to release the inlay interlock, the quick-release lever further comprising the electronic lock, a control system comprises a microcontroller, the communication interface, and the electronic lock, the communication interface, and the electronic lock are operationally related to the microcontroller;
using the furniture inlay personal protection shield by:
activating the quick-release lever, the quick-release lever is accessible to a user while the furniture inlay personal protection shield is secured in furniture predefined opening;
removing the furniture inlay personal protection shield from furniture, by way of the user operating the quick-release lever to release an inlay interlock that allows the user to remove the furniture inlay personal protection shield from furniture, the furniture inlay personal protection shield comprising an exterior surface inlay that is sized and fabricated to fit predefined opening in furniture surface, a bullet-resistant inner liner is affixed to interior side of the exterior surface inlay, at least one handle is affixed proximate to the bullet-resistant inner liner;
orientating the furniture inlay personal protection shield, by way of the handle, in a manner that securely positions the bullet-resistant inner liner between the user and bodily harm threat; and
viewing, by way of the user, bodily harm threat through a one-way viewable bullet-resistant material that is integrated into and away from perimeter of the exterior surface inlay, the one-way viewable bullet-resistant material is see-through in only one direction providing viewport therethrough such that the user positioned behind the furniture inlay personal protection shield can see bodily harm threat but bodily harm threat cannot see the user.
