Description

The invention relates to a remote-optical device, an energy storage unit, in particular for a remote-optical device, a peripheral device and a method for providing a communication between the remote-optical device and the peripheral device.

Remote-optical devices, which are used on a mobile basis, often have no or only a relatively small display in order to keep the electrical energy consumption as low as possible. It is desirable for the user of a battery-operated or accumulator-operated long-range optical device to know how much residual capacity remains in the battery or accumulator of the device so that he can change the battery in good time or recharge the accumulator.

Furthermore, in the case of long-range optical devices with electronic assemblies, adjustment options of these assemblies are often restricted to the essentials due to the number of switches required and due to the size of the display. In this case, high costs per display segment or the avoidance of too extensive information content frequently also play a role, since the user should conventionally only see the essentials. Especially for complex content with many possible variations, a 4-digit 7-segment display, for example, which is typically implemented in laser range finders, offers only a coded representation of the value to be displayed.

Out DE 10 2004 034 267 A1 For example, a system for determining and / or adjusting elevation correction using a range finder and a telescopic sight is known. The rangefinder and the scope are connected to each other via a bidirectional data interface.

Advantageously, a peripheral device can be used, in particular a mobile terminal, comprising a near-field communication module for transmitting information and / or control commands to a near-field communication module exhibiting remote optical device, wherein by means of the local radio communication module of the peripheral device a communication link with the remote-optical device produced is, in particular with the Nahfunk communication module of the far-optical device.

Advantageously, a method for providing a communication between a remote-optical device and a peripheral device is further provided, comprising establishing a communication connection between the remote-optical device and the peripheral device, receiving at least one piece of information, in particular concerning the long-range optical device via the communication link, representing the information or a value based on this information on a display of the peripheral device and in particular controlling the remote optical device from the peripheral device via the communication link.

The near-field communication module can, for example, act in a near range of a few meters to centimeters or millimeters, so that the long-range optical device and the peripheral device are arranged at little or almost no distance from each other. In this case, the term close range can in particular mean a distance between the long-range optical device and the peripheral device of a few meters, in particular about 10 meters to a few centimeters or millimeters, in particular 20 cm to zero millimeters, this means without spacing. In this vicinity, a communication link between the remote optical device and the peripheral device can be set up and operated.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the near-field radio communication module has an NFC Communication module is. The near-field radio communication module in this case provides a near-field communication link, which is, for example, a standardized NFC connection. NFC is an abbreviation for the Near Field Communication transmission standard in the sense of this description.

GEE is the most favorable picking distance which usually describes the distance from the weapon at which the curve (parabola) of the shot object intersects the imaginary straight line through eye, target device and target for the second time. Because the distance between the sighting line and the barrel can vary depending on the weapon, and because runs of different lengths affect the GEE, the GEE should be determined individually. Due to differences in ammunition ammunition, GEE may change from batch to batch.

These long-range optical devices can have an energy store and one or more light sources that can be regulated in their brightness, for example, to adjust the brightness of a display on the remote optical device by controlling the brightness of the peripheral device.

Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically switch off the long-range optical device, ie. H. an enable / disable function feasible, as well as setting the time until an automatic shutdown occurs.

It can be determined, for example, based on the voltage of the energy storage, a residual capacity of the energy storage device of the long-range optical device. Furthermore, with the aid of a temperature measurement, which is optionally integrated in the remote-optical device or as a preset value in the peripheral device, a higher accuracy in the determination of the residual capacity can be achieved. It is important that additionally the current value can be determined and transmitted. With the aid of data or a data sheet (for example, a UI characteristic) of the battery manufacturer or a self-stored characteristic, the determination of the residual capacity can be performed even more accurately. For the transmission, essentially no additional battery power or accumulator power is required in the long-range optical device.

In the configuration according to 5 a user starts on his mobile phone 20 an application, such as "App Battery Check". This will make an NFC function in the as a peripheral device 20 activated mobile phone. Will the peripheral device 20 close, ie close to the coil 65 of the battery powered device 10 , the battery 112 or the accumulator 112 brought, generates the coil 71 a magnetic field. That induces in the coil 65 a stream of the NFC chip 64 fed. This then establishes a connection with the peripheral device 20 on. The peripheral device 20 sends telegram to the NFC chip 64 "Please measure voltage". The NFC chip 64 actuates on / off switch 62 , and a current flows through the load resistor 63 , The voltage drop at the load resistor 63 comes with the NFC chip 64 measured. The voltage value is digitized and the current calculated based on Ohm's law, I = U / R.

No additional battery power or battery power is required for transmission. The power for the NFC chip 64 and the transmission can be the peripheral device 20 deliver. Thus, even then a measurement is possible if the battery 112 or the accumulator 112 is empty.

Generally, the between the far-optical device 10 and the peripheral device 20 transmitted information without restriction of generality both in the long-range optical device 10 as well as in the peripheral device 20 in the manner described above by storage or further processing.

6 shows a further embodiment of an energy storage unit 150 for a remote-optical device 10 with a series connection of Save energy 160 . 161 . 162 , in total as energy storage 163 interact.

The energy storage 163 has three batteries or three accumulators in the present case. The energy storage 163 is at its ends as well as at its center taps with an electronic circuit 166 connected, in turn, with an NFC chip 164 connected is. The NFC chip 164 has a first NFC coil 165 on to over the communication link 30 with a mobile peripheral device 20 , in particular a mobile phone to be in radio communication. The mobile peripheral device 20 has another NFC coil for this 71 on.

The functionality of the communication connection 30 is similar to already for 5 described. It can be between the mobile peripheral device 20 and the energy storage 163 over the NFC chip 164 and the electronic circuit 166 Information as well as electrical or magnetic energy are exchanged, preferably energy from the mobile peripheral device 20 to the NFC chip 164 to operate the NFC chip 164 and information from the electronic circuit 166 or the NFC chip 164 to the mobile peripheral device 20 , This can be the mobile peripheral device 20 from the transmitted information, a residual capacity of the energy storage 163 calculate and preferably a residual operating time of the energy storage 163 determine.

In the 7 to 9 characteristic curves are shown, which are used to determine the residual capacity and thus the remaining operating time of a long-range optical device 10 can be used. These curves can, for example, in the peripheral device 20 be deposited to the corresponding information for the remote-optical device 10 to investigate.

A simple determination of the remaining capacity and thus the remaining operating time of the long-range optical device 10 can be based on the measured voltage of the energy store 112 by using one of the characteristics 7 be made for a mean operating temperature of, for example, 20 ° C. However, since this value is highly temperature dependent, a more reliable value can be obtained if, according to 7 also the temperature of the far-optical device 10 or alternatively as an estimate the temperature of the peripheral device 20 is taken into account.

An optional temperature sensor can be used to determine the temperature 200 in the far-optical device 10 or in the peripheral device 20 be incorporated, as this is only an example 1 . 12 . 13 . 14 . 17 and 18 is shown.

A much more reliable statement about the residual capacity and thus the remaining operating time of the far-optical device as by the measurement of the voltage obtained by the measurement of the energy storage 112 at a known resistance given power.

Will the peripheral device 20 close (close) to the coil of the far-optical device 10 brought, this is the far-optical device 10 recognized as described above and the current determination in the far-optical device 10 started. Together with the measured, at the energy storage 112 applied voltage and optionally the temperature, this information is sent via NFC connection to the peripheral device 20 transfer.

The temperature value can be in the peripheral device 20 be accepted or changed, for example, if the user knows that just a warm battery in a cold long-range optical device 10 was laid. By means of in the peripheral device 20 deposited battery discharge curves, the remaining capacity can now be more precisely determined as temperature compensated and on the peripheral device 20 show accordingly.

The determination of the current can, as described below with reference to 10 and 11 be described in more detail. For the sake of simplicity of illustration, in these figures, the microcontroller described above 11 not shown.

10 shows a schematic diagram of a circuit for measuring the current during operation of a light source, in particular the light-emitting diode 16 ,

Generally, the current between battery and light emitting diode 16 by measuring the voltage drop across the series resistor 210 and whose calculation is determined by Ohm's law, U = R * I, hence I = U / R, which, however, is difficult and expensive at the typically small currents.

With known continuous load, for example by the microcontroller 11 caused, plus variable load by the LED 16 This can also be done as follows.

The variable load can be controlled by the microcontroller 11 calculate predetermined value and / or by measuring the voltage drop across the lighting, which is usually the LED 16 is that via a series resistor 210 is operated. From the voltage drop across the series resistor 210 can be with Ohm's law, the current through the series resistor 210 also calculate the current through the LED 16 is.

In the case of LED lighting controlled by microcontrollers, the brightness is generally controlled by switching the LED on and off, which is invisible to the eye, from the frequency. This method, also referred to as pulse width modulation (PWM), may alternatively or additionally to the variation of the series resistor 210 be used.

When the switch is closed, a current I = (U _Bat - U _d ) / R results. Due to the pulse width modulation results in the average current I _var = I · duty cycle (ON time to period (ON- + off-time)).

The current total current results in I _aktges = I _var + I _fixed .

U _Bat is for example through the microcontroller 11 measured. The resistor R, 210 , is known.

U _d is the forward voltage at the diode and as a fixed value or as a table as a function of U _Bat and R, 210 at different values of R, 210 , for example in the memory of the microcontroller 11 stored. I _fixed is the current that is required regardless of the brightness setting, for example for the operation of the microcontroller 11 , This value is z. B. in the memory of the microcontroller 11 stored. The maximum current at maximum brightness is calculated to I _ges = I + I _fixed at a maximum duty cycle, which can be a maximum of 1.

The minimum current at minimum brightness is calculated from the smallest duty cycle. In the best case, the minimum current = I is _fixed , because then the current through the LED 16 is negligible.

To the peripheral device 20 The following information is now transmitted based on the above measurements: U _Bat , I _aktges , temperature, maximum current, minimum current and possibly the battery type used.

In the peripheral device 20 For the different measured currents, for example for 50 μA, 100 μA, 200 μA, 500 μA, 1 mA, 2 mA, 3 mA, the discharge curves are stored at different temperatures.

For example, the peripheral device 20 receive the following data: U _Bat = 2.9 V, I _aktges = 190 μA, Temp = 20 ° C, I _max = 2 mA, I _min = 100 μA. At a measured voltage U _Bat of 2.9 V at 20 ° C, see this value in 9 as a voltage value for the current of 2 mA, the battery has already been charged for about 800 hours, ie for a total operating time of about 1150 hours, the remaining operating time is more than 300 hours; this means that the battery still has about 30% remaining capacity.

From the battery curve for 100 μA, see the corresponding higher voltage value in 9 for the characteristic at 20 ° C and the value at 0.1 mA, results in 20 ° C a total operating time of 2200 h, at 30% residual capacity results in a residual operating time of more than 650 h.

If information about the average brightness has now been transmitted, the residual operating time at medium brightness can also be specified based on the remaining capacity.

In order not to cause problems due to measurement inaccuracies, the residual operation times may be given in, for example, greater than 1000 hours and / or for example less than 10 hours.

Since, especially at low currents, an accurate voltage measurement is difficult for the determination of the previous service life of the battery, since the characteristic in this range is very flat, it can be useful to increase the current during the voltage measurement for a short time. This can be done by temporarily increasing the brightness of the LED 16 or, as in 11 represented by temporarily parallel connection of a resistor R _m 220 to LED 16 and resistor 210 respectively.

In addition to the above-described required current parameters (I _aktges , I _max and I _min ), in this case, an additional current value I _mess to the peripheral device 20 be sent, which then determines the remaining battery capacity and the remaining remaining operating periods could be determined.

In general, an electrical voltage, a current, a temperature, an operating time, a capacitance value, a resistance value, in particular an ohmic resistance value and / or a characteristic curve of the energy store 112 . 163 , in particular a voltage-current characteristic to the peripheral device 20 be transmitted.

13 shows an embodiment of a monocular 500 in sectional view, which is an energy store 12 and a near-field radio communication module 13 has, similar to the above for 12 has been described. The monocular 500 is a long-range optical device compared to binoculars 300 of the 12 only with a tube 301 equipped and has no kink bridge.

The construction of the monocular 500 is inside the tube 301 similar or identical as in 12 for the binocular has been described. Like reference numerals refer to FIGS 12 and 13 each same elements. Therefore, for the sake of brevity, the description of the 12 for further explanation of the monocular 500 of the 13 directed.

14 shows a further embodiment of a remote optical device 10 , here a riflescope 400 that is an energy store 12 , in particular a battery or an accumulator, and electronic functions, which in the context of this description have already been described in more detail above as functions of the long-range optical device 10 have been described.

Further, the scope indicates 400 a near-field communication module 13 on, similar or identical as this for the embodiment in 1 has been described.

In this way, the riflescope 400 with a mobile peripheral device 20 via an NFC coil 21 of the mobile peripheral device 20 , in particular a mobile phone, exchange information and electrical or magnetic energy.

In 15 is the rifle scope 400 of the 14 shown in a sectional view.

The rifle scope 400 comprises a tube, which, as described below, piece-wise or in sections may have different diameters and contains an optical system described in more detail below.

In a front, mostly thickened lens area 401 can be a lens 414 are located. In a middle area, often called a center tube 402 is designated, the adjustable optical elements described in more detail below can be located. In addition, there are external adjustment towers in this area 403 that has at least one rotary element 404 have optical properties of the optical system, such as the lateral position of a reticle 415 . 416 let change.

In a rear, mostly thickened eyepiece area 406 can the eyepiece 423 are located. Furthermore, between the central tube 402 and the eyepiece area 406 a zoom ring 405 be arranged. The eyepiece area 406 can with an eyecup 407 to lock.

The optical system further comprises at least one objective 414 . 426 a reversal system 425 , a reticle 415 . 416 and the eyepiece 423 on. The optical system becomes an optical axis 413 established.

The objective 414 can be made up of several individual lenses 426 or cemented composites.

With 412 is a beam direction from the object 411 to the rifle scope 400 designated.

The objective 414 generates in a first intermediate image plane F1 the image of an infinite object 411 ,

Optionally, a reticle 415 be arranged in the first intermediate image plane F1, in particular so that the intermediate image plane F1 on the back, this means on the inversion system 425 facing side of the reticle 415 can be located.

The reversal system 425 may be in front of or behind the optional reticle arranged in the first intermediate image plane F1 415 an optional field lens 417 exhibit.

Here are the reticles 415 in the first intermediate image plane F1 and, if present, also the optional field lens 417 on the inner tube 408 attached. Further, the inversion system 425 preferably at least two zoom members 418 . 419 of which at least one by means of the zoom ring 405 along the optical axis 413 is movable.

Furthermore, the reversing system 425 a negative link 420 , This means an optical element with negative refractive power, have. Optionally, a reticle 416 in a second intermediate image plane F2 of the inversion system 425 be arranged. Through the reversal system 425 For infinite object distance, the image from the first intermediate image plane F1 is displayed upright in the second intermediate image plane F2.

The second intermediate image plane F2 is in 15 on the back of the reticle 416 or as lying in this lying.

Further, the inversion system 425 usually a field stop 421 on which the second intermediate image plane F2 sharp contrasting edges and acts as an effective field stop.

For the purpose of focusing one through the scope 400 considered object 411 or to adapt to the ametropia of the user can either the eyepiece 423 be moved axially, or it may be a lens group or a lens that is part of the lens 414 is, for example, the lens 426 , be moved axially. This lens group or lens 426 is usually between the other lenses of the lens 414 and the inversion system 425 arranged and can also be called focusing lens.

The objective 414 can be a real, relative to the considered object 411 . 426 upside down image in the object 411 produce conjugate first intermediate image plane F1. The axial position of this intermediate image plane F1 is dependent on the object distance. By using the focusing lens, especially the lens 426 , the axial position of the intermediate image plane F1 can be influenced. For the purpose of image erection, the inversion system 425 contain a fixed lens group, or it can also be two axially displaceable zoom members 418 . 419 contain. Through the reversal system 425 the image standing upside down in the first intermediate image plane F1 is set up again and imaged in the second intermediate image plane F2 with a specific magnification. Between the first and the second intermediate image plane F1, F2, further lens groups can be used, such as a further field lens, not shown in the figures, or the negative element acting as a barlow lens 420 are located. All said optical elements can have sockets or be held in these.

The reticles 415 . 416 For example, glass peel or foil etch reticle may be used.

If the reverse system 425 at least two axially displaceable zoom members 418 . 419 In addition to the task of mapping the image from the first intermediate image plane F1 into the second intermediate image plane F2, these also fulfill another function, namely to make the total magnification of the image perceived by the user steplessly selectable in a mechanically limited region.

The reversal system 425 In this case, its imaging scale continuously varies between the first intermediate image plane F1 and the second intermediate image plane F2 conjugate thereto.

By the respective reticle 415 . 416 a finish line is defined. In addition, the reticle 415 . 416 at least one target point on which the user in accordance with the object 411 brings. To compensate for projectile waste, side winds and the like, the user can by means of Verstellürme 403 the lateral position of the reticle 415 . 416 and thus change the target line arranged thereon. In order to obtain a parallax-free image, for example in rifle scopes with a magnification of more than five times magnification, for example 3-9x, irrespective of the object distance, this means that lateral movement of the eye to the optical axis 413 the target point does not shift relative to the object which is as sharp as the reticle, the user can use the focus lens or field lens 417 use.

A zoom position stands colloquially for any magnification setting within the mechanically possible magnification adjustment range of the telescopic sight 400 , The zoom factor is the ratio of two magnifications, with the larger one in the counter. A maximum zoom factor is the ratio of the mechanically maximum possible and the mechanically minimum possible magnification of the telescopic sight 400 with the larger one in the meter.

The eyepiece 423 can be used to move the image of the second intermediate image plane F2 to any distance, e.g. B. at infinity or in one meter apparent distance, or focus on the reticle.

The beam direction 412 is also due to the order object 411 - Lens 414 - Reversing system 425 - eyepiece 423 - eye 424 Are defined.

The versions of the optical elements, in particular the zoom links 418 . 419 or the field stop acting as a field stop 421 near the second intermediate image plane F2 are limiting for the subjectively perceived field of view depending on the magnification setting.

Tunnel effect is the effect that is observed when zooming from the maximum mechanical magnification to the minimum possible mechanical magnification and the field of view limitation from the field stop 421 near the second intermediate image plane F2 to a socket of another optical element, for example one of the zoom links 418 . 419 before the second intermediate image plane F2 changes, whereby the field of view decreases.

The effectively effective aperture stop can be either as described in the preceding paragraph by a socket of an optical element 418 . 419 formed or by a separate aperture, for example, the field stop 421 be defined and depending on the magnification also be formed by another in the beam path becoming effective version. It can, by the remaining optical system in the beam direction in a plane imaged in the beam direction behind the eyepiece 423 is located and typically 70 to 100 mm distance to this has. This plane can be called the plane of the exit pupil.

The area behind the eyepiece 423 in which the eye is 424 the user has to stop in order to survey the entire visual field is called eye distance range and in English also Eyebox.

Defective vision of the user can be taken into account by means of a diopter compensation. For this, the axial position of the eyepiece 423 to be changed.

A rifle scope 400 may also contain other optical components, for example, a beam injection or decoupling z. B. for a distance measurement or photographic purposes. Likewise, other electronic components, sensors, controls or energy storage may be present, which are necessary or advantageous for the purposes mentioned, but not shown in the accompanying figures for the sake of clarity.

16 shows an embodiment of a reflex sight 600 with a solar cell held thereon 629 for the electrical power supply of the reflex sight 600 , Electrical energy may alternatively or additionally from an energy storage holder described in more detail below 631 of the reflex sight 600 , which, for example, an energy store 112 , Thus, a battery or an accumulator, takes up, be provided.

When using a battery can in the energy storage 112 electrical energy both stored and from this to the reflex sight 600 can be delivered.

In contrast to a riflescope, a reflex sight generally does not have to have an optical magnification, and in this optical, often by means of a light source, a target mark is reflected.

17 shows the reflex sight of the 16 in longitudinal section and shown schematically on this arranged an energy storage 112 , a temperature sensor 200 and a near-field communication module 113 ,

The reflex sight 600 has a housing 602 in which an object-side lens system 619 , here a lens 617 , is held.

On the user facing side of the reflex sight 600 is a carrier element 609 made of transparent material as a carrier plate 610 arranged. By this support element 609 becomes a light source 605 , here an LED 607 , which, for example, the in 1 described advertisement 18 , there the LED 16 , or the in 4 described advertisement 103 can correspond. Instead of the light source 605 can also be provided in the figures for the sake of clarity, not shown optical fiber, of which one along the center axis 615 aligned light beam goes out.

The one from the light source 605 outgoing light beam 603 spreads along the optical axis 614 out, with the center axis 615 of the reflex sight 600 coincides. This ray of light 603 meets a partially reflecting layer 613 and is through the partially reflecting layer 613 and a user-side optical element 621 in the eye 611 reflected by the user.

The at the partially reflecting layer 613 Reflected light is reflected in the reflex sight 600 superimposed incident light. For the user, a sighting mark, which is sharply imaged at infinity or, for example, 40 m away, becomes visible within its field of view angle 604 lies.

In the devices described above, comprising a telescopic sight 400 as well as a reflex sight 600 Further, a measurement of the kickback, for example by means of an example in 1 shown acceleration sensor 230 respectively. The acceleration sensor 230 , which may be a piezoceramic sensor, is connected to the microcontroller 11 connected, which can evaluate its signals accordingly.

The decay curve of the measured values of the acceleration sensor 230 For example, can give statements about a correct installation of the riflescope or reflex sight, because if it has transient components that do not match the natural resonance of a correctly mounted long-range optical device, a statement can be made as to whether the remote-optical device is still mounted correctly and a corresponding Warning if this is not the case. For determining the check values with correctly mounted long-range optical device 10 , can directly after the initial installation a standard curve in the far-optical device 10 and / or peripheral device 20 which allows deviations from this curve to be recorded and classified.

The measured setback gives a statement on the force felt by the user, but can also be used to determine the number of shots and the correct mounting and thus the mounting state of the long-range optical device 10 capture.

Furthermore, the user is also enabled to detect the setbacks of different types of ammunition and to visualize deviations within an ammunition type. Corresponding values can be sent after their transfer to the peripheral device 20 displayed and / or stored in this.

Below is on the 18 and 19 referenced, which further embodiments of the invention for the above-described remote optical devices 10 and the peripheral device described above 20 reveal.

18 shows an embodiment of an energy storage unit for a remote optical device 10 suitable for retrofitting to long-range optical equipment which does not itself have a near-field communications module, and only, but without limitation, to the general public 16 shown reflex sights 600 is explained.

Indicates the far-optical device 10 itself no Nahfunk communication module 113 For example, this can be done together with the in 4 for the remote-optical device 10 shown circuit arrangement in the lid 622 of the battery compartment 623 of the far-optical device 10 , here the reflex sight 600 be arranged. Except for the energy storage 112 can the other modules of in 4 shown circuit arrangement completely in the lid 622 be included.

At the in 18 In the embodiment shown, the energy store comprises 112 a battery, for example, but not limited to the generality of the type AA. When inserting the battery in the lid 622 the one pole of the battery will come into contact with the inside of the cover and can by means of the contact arm 627 also the cover remote pole of the battery to be contacted.

With one on the lid 622 attached LED 624 If a critical remaining operating time is reached, a brief signal, for example once a minute, may be emitted, for example, in red and when a new battery is inserted 112 as described above, the remaining operating life of the long-range optical device 10 on the basis of a brief colored LED, which corresponds to the remaining operating time 624 being represented.

In a first passive variant, the NFC function in the lid 622 activated when a peripheral device 20 near the lid 622 is brought.

The NFC chip of the near-field communications module 113 switches a load resistor, for example the resistor R _m , 220 and measures the voltage and optionally also the current as described above. The circuit in the remote-optical device 10 can be switched off during this measurement.

Alternatively, the user can set the lighting to minimum so as not to falsify the measurement due to excessive parallel load currents.

The corresponding information is then communicated to the peripheral device in greater detail as described above 20 transfer.

In another active embodiment, the NFC function switches in the lid 622 at longer intervals, for example every 30 seconds, by itself and checks to see if there is an NFC-enabled peripheral device 20 near the far-optical device 10 located. If this is the case, the connection becomes the peripheral device 20 built and the measurement carried out as well as the communication with the peripheral device 20 started.

The NFC function in the lid 622 Alternatively, it may also be started, for example, for 30 seconds when the far-optical device is turned on, for example, by detecting increased current flow into the far-optical device 10 ,

Alternatively or additionally, the near-field communication module has 113 of the lid 622 also an electrical data connection to the remote-optical device 10 arranged, but not shown in the figures, electronic or electrical assemblies for exchanging information with these modules.

This can be done via the actual battery line, where data and power are transmitted on a line or via a separate data line, for example by means of the cover attached to the contact 625 and a contact attached to the remote-optical device 626 ,

Thus, also by means of contacts 625 and 626 in the lid 622 arranged near-field communication module 113 switching on the reflex sight are signaled.

The above, for the lid 622 mentioned measurements can be carried out in the same manner as described above for the other embodiments.
