Telescopic Sight Displaying Objects Outside Visual Field
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems for military use, such as those involving target distance measuring devices and telescopic sight devices, are limited in their information display, as they only show objects within the visual field of the telescopic sight device, failing to provide information on objects outside this field.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that enables the transmission of detected object information between communication partners via a radio-based, bidirectional connection, allowing the display device to show objects both within and outside the visual field of the telescopic sight device, using graphical or alphanumeric symbols to represent objects outside the field, thereby enhancing the information content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the display device only shows objects within the visual field of the telescopic sight device, then the data transmission volume remains small, but the information content is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses graphical symbols as simplified copies or representations of actual objects outside the visual field. Instead of transmitting full object data or images, the system transmits compact graphical symbols that represent detected objects, thereby providing information about external objects while keeping data transmission volume small.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system acts as an intermediary between the object detection device and the display device. It receives object information from the detection device, processes it into appropriate graphical representations, and transmits only the necessary symbolic information to the display device, thus mediating between complete object data and limited display capacity.
2Loss of information
If graphical symbols are used to represent objects outside the visual field, then the information content is extended, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display information is segmented into distinct components: objects within the visual field are shown in their natural form, while objects outside the visual field are represented by separate graphical symbols. This segmentation allows the system to manage different types of information separately, reducing overall display complexity while extending information content.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the display have different qualities: the central visual field area displays detailed object information, while peripheral areas display simplified graphical symbols for objects outside the field. This local differentiation optimizes the display by providing appropriate levels of detail in different regions, managing complexity while maximizing information delivery.

AI summary
A communication system for transmitting detected object information items (OI) between two communication partners, comprising: a first communication partner, formed as a target distance measuring device having a communication device and an object detection device, wherein the object detection device detects remote objects and generates an OI describing a respective detected remote object, and the communication device transmits a generated OI to a second communication partner, a second communication partner, formed as a telescopic sight device having a communication device and a display device displaying a visual field which varies depending on the orientation of the to sight device, wherein the communication device is configured to receive OI transmitted by the first communication partner and the display device is configured to display received OI, wherein objects located outside the visual field at a given orientation of the telescopic sight device are displayable marked as outside the visual field.
