為了節省電力、延長電池壽命，習用瞄準器通常具有省電休眠功能，在省電休眠功能的控制下其電源在達到所設定的時間秒數後會自動做關閉動作，當使用者需要再次使用時就按下電源鍵，此時就會有電源開啟的動作，回到電源開啟之前的狀態。In order to save power and extend battery life, conventional sights usually have a power-saving sleep function. Under the control of the power-saving sleep function, the power supply automatically turns off after reaching the set number of seconds, when the user needs to use it again. Just press the power button, then there will be a power-on action, returning to the state before the power is turned on.
請參閱第1圖，第1圖係習知瞄準器之操作方法之流程圖，其中各步驟詳述如下：步驟S1020係判斷電源開關是否導通，當電源開關導通時，代表使用者即將開始使用瞄準器，才會進行下一步驟S1030。Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for operating a conventional sight. The steps are detailed as follows: Step S1020 determines whether the power switch is turned on. When the power switch is turned on, the user is about to start using the aiming. The next step S1030 will be performed.
步驟S1030係執行記憶的亮度模式，瞄準器的瞄準標記(例如十字線、紅點等)可有高亮度、中亮度、及自動感測背景光三種模式供使用者選擇，假設先前記憶的是高亮度模式，則電源開關導通後，瞄準器將自動進入高亮度模式；如果先前記憶的是中亮度模式，則電源開關導通後，瞄準器將自動進入中亮度模式；然而如果先前記憶的是自動感測背景光模式，則電源開關導通後，瞄準器將自動進入自動感測背景光模式。另外可以了解到，使用者可以視需要而改變記憶的亮度模式。Step S1030 is to perform the brightness mode of the memory, and the aiming marks of the sight (such as crosshairs, red dots, etc.) can have three modes of high brightness, medium brightness, and automatic sensing background light for the user to select, assuming that the previous memory is high. In the brightness mode, after the power switch is turned on, the sight will automatically enter the high brightness mode; if the medium brightness mode is previously remembered, the sight will automatically enter the medium brightness mode after the power switch is turned on; however, if the previous memory is automatic When the backlight mode is measured, the sight will automatically enter the auto-sensing backlight mode after the power switch is turned on.

When the value td is set, the normal operation of the sight is maintained.
步驟S2050係瞄準器進入休眠狀態，以節省電力。Step S2050 is that the sight enters a sleep state to save power.
步驟S2060係利用一運動感測器來判斷使用者是否即將使用瞄準器，當使用者拿起槍枝，將連帶使槍枝上的瞄準器產生運動，運動感測器一旦偵測到瞄準器的運動方向變化，則返回步驟S2030執行記憶的 亮度模式，亦即直接返回休眠狀態前的亮度模式，不需要重新導通(或按下)電源開關，因此本發明能夠更快速的喚醒瞄準器，提高命中目標的機率；反之若判斷瞄準器並未產生運動，則繼續步驟S2050維持電源關閉休眠狀態。Step S2060 uses a motion sensor to determine whether the user is about to use the sight. When the user picks up the gun, the joint will cause the aiming device on the gun to move, and the motion sensor detects the sight of the sight. If the direction of motion changes, return to step S2030 to perform the memory. The brightness mode, that is, the brightness mode immediately before returning to the sleep state, does not need to be turned on (or pressed) the power switch, so the invention can wake up the sight more quickly and improve the probability of hitting the target; If motion is generated, proceed to step S2050 to maintain the power off state.
請參閱第3圖，第3圖係依據本發明之瞄準器的方塊圖。本發明之瞄準器包括一控制單元3010、一運動感應器3020、一光源3030、一光感應器3040、一開關3050以及一電源3060。其中開關3050用於控制電源3060的開啟與關閉。電源3060提供電力給所有其他元件使用。控制單元3010用於接收由運動感應器3020、光感應器3040傳來的感測訊號進行判斷及控制等操作，以及選擇操作模式後控制光源3030的亮度強弱，詳言之，控制單元3010依據設定的亮度模式，來控制光源3030亮度的強弱，例如在高亮度模式下，光源3030產生最大的亮度，而在中亮度模式下，光源3030產生中等亮度。光感應器3040用以偵測外在環境的光亮度，提供背景光資訊訊號給控制單元3010，在自動感測背景光模式下，如果在白天或光線充足的情況下，控制單元3010將控制光源3030產生高亮度，使得高亮度的瞄準標記(例如十字線、紅點等)能夠被清楚的辨識，而在昏暗或光線不足的情況下，控制單元3010將控制光源3030轉成中亮度，使瞄準標記的亮度減弱但依然可清楚辨識，以達到省電功能。運動感應器3020用以偵測瞄準器的運動狀態，一旦偵測到瞄準器的運動方向變化，則傳送偵測訊號給控制單元3010，控制單元3010將喚醒瞄準器進行正常運作。Please refer to Fig. 3, which is a block diagram of a sight according to the present invention. The sight of the present invention includes a control unit 3010, a motion sensor 3020, a light source 3030, a light sensor 3040, a switch 3050, and a power source 3060.
