Abstract

A hand power tool, in particular a battery-operated hand power tool, includes an open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit, and a communication unit, which is connected to the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit and which has a hand power tool interface for exchanging electronic data. It is proposed that the hand power tool interface be provided to communicate with at least one further hand power tool and/or with at least one hand power tool ancillary device for the purpose of influencing an operating program of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hand power tool comprising:
an open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit; and
a communication unit, which is connected to the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit and which has a hand power tool interface for exchanging electronic data,
at least one drive unit; and
at least one switch-on/switch-off element configured to put the at least one drive unit into operation,
wherein the hand power tool interface is activated or deactivated in dependence on a position of the switch-on/switch-off element,
wherein the hand power tool interface is configured to be switched to a connectivity mode for a period of less than 15 minutes as a result of the switch-on/switch-off element being moved into a startup position and in dependence on a data connection to the at least one of the further hand power tool and the hand power tool ancillary device, and
wherein the hand power tool interface is configured to communicate with at least one of a further hand power tool and a hand power tool ancillary device for the purpose of influencing an operating program of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit.

2. The hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the hand power tool interface is configured to directly transmit electronic data to or directly receive electronic data from the at least one of the further hand power tool and the hand power tool ancillary device in one of a wireless and a wire-bound manner.

3. The hand power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one electronic anti-theft mechanism configured to release or disable an operational readiness.

4. The hand power tool according to claim 3 , wherein a release by the electronic anti-theft mechanism is maintained after breaking of a connection of a battery unit within a predefined time period.

5. The hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the communication unit includes at least one storage unit configured to be connected to an external data unit via the hand power tool interface for the purpose of altering or storing hand power tool parameters.

6. The hand power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one battery monitoring unit configured to monitor a battery capacity and to calculate an energy consumption of a battery unit during an operation of the hand power tool.

7. The hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the hand power tool interface is configured to communicate with an external data unit for the purpose of at least one of documenting, evaluating, and analyzing electronic data of the communication unit.

8. A hand power tool comprising:
an open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit; and
a communication unit, which is connected to the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit and which has a hand power tool interface for exchanging electronic data,
at least one electronic anti-theft mechanism configured to release or disable an operational readiness,
wherein a release by the electronic anti-theft mechanism is maintained after breaking of a connection of a battery unit within a predefined time period, and
wherein the hand power tool interface is configured to communicate with at least one of a further hand power tool and a hand power tool ancillary device for the purpose of influencing an operating program of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit.
