Abstract

A sight and an operating method thereof are provided. The sight includes a light source, a motion sensor, and a control unit. The motion sensor is configured to detect a change of a motion direction of the sight and generate a detection signal based on the change of the motion direction. The control unit is configured to control brightness of the light source and determine whether the sight enters a sleep mode, wherein the control unit wakes up the sight from the sleep mode when the control unit receives the detection signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A sight, comprising:
a light source; a motion sensor configured to detect a change of a motion direction of the sight and generate a detection signal based on the change of the motion direction; and a control unit configured to control brightness of the light source and determine whether the sight enters a sleep mode, wherein the control unit wakes up the sight from the sleep mode when the control unit receives the detection signal.

2 . The sight as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a photo sensor configured to detect ambient brightness and provide ambient brightness information for the control unit, wherein the control unit controls the brightness of the light source according to the ambient brightness information.

3 . The sight as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a power source configured to provide power for the control unit, the motion sensor, the photo sensor, and the light source.

4 . The sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit wakes up the sight from the sleep mode after the time that the control unit receives the detection signal.

5 . An operating method of a sight comprising:
controlling brightness of a light source; having the sight entering a sleeping mode; detecting motion of the sight through a motion sensor; and waking up the sight when a change of a motion direction of the sight is detected.

6 . The operating method as claimed in claim 5 further comprising:
memorizing a brightness mode executed before the sight enters the sleep mode; and
executing the brightness mode after the sight is woken up.

7 . The operating method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the brightness mode comprises a high brightness mode, an intermediate brightness mode and an auto ambient detection mode.

8 . The operating method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the sight enters the sleep mode when a power source provides power for the sight for a predetermined period.

9 . The operating method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sight is waked up after the time that the change of the motion direction of the sight is detected.
