Abstract:
An imaging device includes an illumination element; an auto-exposure element; and a processor disabling the auto-exposure element and subsequently disabling the illumination element.
Abstract:
Described are a device and a method for acquiring data using a camera port of a processor. The device includes a processing unit; a memory arrangement storing a set of instructions; and a camera port. The camera port is configured to receive first data in a first format from a camera-type arrangement. The camera port receives from a non-camera type data acquisition device second data in a second format and the processing unit converts the second data into further second data stored in the first format using the set of the instructions.

Abstract:
Described is a method and system for controlling usage of software on a computing device. An authorization key is generated as a function of a devic e string, a unique string stored in the device, and a software string, a uniqu e string stored in software authorized for use on the device. The authorizatio n key is encrypted using a private key and stored in the device. Upon a reques t to use software on the device, the authorization key is decrypted using a public key corresponding to the private key. A test key is generated as a function of the device string and a request software string, a unique string stored in the software for which use has been requested. The authorization k ey is compared to the test key. When the test key matches the authorization key , usage of the requested software is permitted.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for decoding dataforms comprising integrating a dataform decoding module into a video processing system. In an embodiment of the invention, video data is analyzed for dataforms as it is being prepared for display on a mobile computer screen. Packaging a dataform decoding algorithm as a video display module allows many hardware devices to easily add dataform decoding capabilities.
Abstract:
A device comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores an image. The image includes a plurality of areas. The image is captured using at least one of an auto-exposure technology and an auto-focus technology. The processor is coupled to the memory and selects at least one of the plurality of areas as a function of predetermined data. The data is related to the at least one of the auto-exposure technology and the auto-focus technology. The processor locates a symbol in the at least one selected areas.

Abstract:
Described are a device and a method for acquiring data using a camera port of a processor. The device includes a processing unit (130; a memory arrangement (120) storing a set of instructions; and a camera port (170). The camera port is configured to receive first data a first format from a camera-type arrangement. The camera port receives from a non-camera type data acquisition device second data i a second format and the processing unit converts the second data into further second data stored in the first format using the set of the instructions.
