Sighting Device Adaptive Display Magnification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sighting devices with attachment devices face challenges in ensuring that information displayed on the attachment device's electronic visual display is observable through the telescopic sight, particularly when the magnification is changed, leading to information being located outside the observable portion of the display.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced that allows the attachment device to be set such that a circular marking is displayed on the attachment device display, which can be adjusted in size and position to ensure that critical information remains visible across different magnification settings of the telescopic sight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the magnification of the telescopic sight is increased, then the observation detail is improved, but the observable area of the attachment device display decreases causing information to be located outside the observable portion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display area adaptive to the current magnification setting. The control unit dynamically adjusts which portion of the attachment device display is observable through the telescopic sight based on the detected magnification level. This allows the system to optimize between observation detail and information visibility in real-time, resolving the contradiction between high magnification and complete information display.
2Loss of information
If the display area on the attachment device is increased to show all information, then the information completeness is improved, but the information may become unobservable through the telescopic sight at higher magnifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the observability of different display regions. Instead of making the entire display equally observable, the system selectively adjusts which portions of the display are visible through the telescopic sight based on the magnification setting. This ensures that critical information remains observable while maintaining information completeness on the full display.
3Measurement precision
If the telescopic sight is set to high magnification for detailed observation, then the observation precision is improved, but the field of view decreases making it difficult to locate and observe display information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by using the detected magnification setting to control which display area is observable. The control unit receives feedback about the current magnification level and automatically adjusts the observable display portion accordingly. This closed-loop approach ensures that display information remains within the reduced field of view at high magnifications while preserving the ability to switch between detailed observation and information viewing.

AI summary
A method for setting a sighting device with a telescopic sight and an attachment device is provided. The attachment device includes a display, a control element, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and is connected to the telescopic sight such that the display can be observed through the telescopic sight. The method includes displaying a center marking at a center position on the display and activating a first interaction mode, in which the center position of the center marking can be shifted into a new center position by operating at least one control element, displaying a circular marking and activating the second interaction mode, in which the size of the circular marking is changeable by operating at least one control element, and storing display information regarding the new center position and the size of the circular marking in the non-transitory computer-readable storage device.
