Abstract:
A barcode scanning application is provided for a smartphone. The barcode scanning application includes a custom software input panel, which includes a barcode scanning key and a keyboard wedge capable of translating barcode data into keyboard strokes. The barcode scanning application, once initialized, is configured to cause the custom software input panel to be removed from the first portion of the visual display and to open a barcode viewfinder on the portion of the visual display previously occupied by the custom software input panel. The barcode scanning application is configured to scan a barcode in the viewfinder, close the viewfinder, decode the scanned barcode, and send the barcode information to the keyboard wedge. The keyboard wedge is configured to translate the decoded barcode information into keyboard strokes and send the keyboard strokes for displayed within a different application running and displayed continuously on the second portion of the visual display.
