Benefits of technology

The invention provides a way to improve the convenience of long-range optical instruments by making them easier to operate and increasing their operating time. This is done by providing a simple and low-cost way to read values and change settings on the instrument. The instrument's battery level can be determined based on the voltage and temperature measurement, and the remaining battery capacity can be determined by analyzing the battery manufacturer's data or a self-stored characteristic curve. Even when the battery is empty, the instrument can still be used. Additionally, the invention improves the accuracy of calculating the point of impact of a projectile by determining the ballistic curve and angle of inclination of the projectile.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, in the case of long-range optical instruments with electronic subassemblies, capabilities for setting these subassemblies are often restricted to the most essential on account of the number of switches required and on account of the size of the display.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, for better understanding, the appended figures are not shown to scale. In the figures, the same designations respectively indicate subassemblies that are the same, act similarly or are identical, even in different embodiments.

[0052]FIG. 1 shows the setting of the brightness of a display 18 on or in a long-range optical instrument 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The long-range optical instrument 10 is schematically shown in FIG. 1 as an outline.

[0053]The long-range optical instrument 10 has a microcontroller 11, which is supplied with power by an energy store 12. The energy store 12 may be a battery or a rechargeable battery.

[0054]The microcontroller 11 is connected to a near-field communication module 13, which is formed as an NFC module 13 and which includes an NFC chip 14 and a first NFC coil 15.

[0055]The microcontroller 11 controls one or more illumination elements, in particular o...

Abstract

A long-range optical instrument for transmitting information to a peripheral device and a method for enabling communication between the long-range optical instrument and the peripheral are provided. The long-range optical instrument includes a near-field radio communication module. The near-field radio communication module is configured to establish a communications link with the peripheral device and to transmit data, in particular information concerning the long-range optical instrument, to the peripheral device over the communications link.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation application of international patent application PCT / EP2015 / 053261, filed Feb. 17, 2015, designating the United States and claiming priority from German application 10 2014 002 050.9, filed Feb. 17, 2014, and the entire content of both applications is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a long-range optical instrument, an energy storage unit, in particular for a long-range optical instrument, a peripheral device and a method for providing communication between the long-range optical instrument and the peripheral device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Long-range optical instruments that are used for mobile applications often have no display or only a relatively small display, in order to keep the electrical energy consumption as low as possible. For the user of a battery-operated or rechargeable battery-operated long-range optical instrument, it is desirabl...
