Abstract

A method for the wireless transmission of electronic data between a hand-held machine tool and an external unit includes automatically activating a communication unit for transmitting the electronic data as a function of a characteristic movement variable of the communication unit.

Claims (12)

1. A method for the wireless transmission of electronic data between a communication unit of a hand-held machine tool designed as a first connection partner and a communication unit of an external unit designed as a second connection partner, the method comprising:

automatically activating the communication unit of the hand-held machine tool so as to transmit the electronic data depending on an acceleration value and/or a change in a position parameter of the communication unit of the hand-held machine tool,

automatically activating the communication unit of the external unit so as to transmit the electronic data depending on an acceleration value and/or a change in a position parameter of the communication unit of the external unit,

if there are a plurality of potential connection partners for the communication unit of the hand-held machine tool, choosing the second connection partner from the potential connection partners depending on the signal attenuation and/or the distance between a respective potential connection partner and the communication unit of the hand-held machine tool,

establishing a connection between the communication unit of the first connection partner and the communication unit of the second connection partner,

comparing a motion parameter profile of the communication unit of the first connection partner with a motion parameter profile of the communication unit of the second connection partner, and

maintaining or disconnecting the connection between the first connection partner and the second connection partner based on the comparison.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acceleration value and/or the change in the local and/or global position parameter are/is recorded.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a connection request is transmitted by way of the communication unit following activation of at least one of the communication units depending on a time interval in which the acceleration value and/or the change in the local and/or global position parameter are/is recorded.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a respective time parameter of the connection partners is compared in at least one method step.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic data is transmitted to at least one additional connection partner depending on a status of the communication connection between the connection partners.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication units are deactivated depending on a time interval in which the acceleration values and/or change in the local and/or global position parameters of the connection partners are/is not recorded.
