Abstract:
A system and method for reading an optical code is provided. The method comprises the steps of imaging at least one target, including acquiring and processing image data corresponding to a series of at least one frame; storing image data corresponding to respective acquired frames of the at least one frame, including at least image data corresponding to a current frame (Frame(N)) and image data corresponding to a previous frame (Frame(N-1)); receiving an actuation signal during Frame(N) indicating initiation of a read operation; retrieving at least a portion of the image data corresponding to Frame (N-1); and performing a decode operation on the retrieved image data.
Abstract:
An interface enables data capture systems, such as electro-optical readers, RPID readers, and imagers operative for capturing transaction data to communicate with a plurality of open applications executed by a host computer. A queue arranges the transaction data processed by one of the open applications, and management data processed by another of the open applications. A queue handler transmits the processed transaction data and the processed management data from the queue to each data capture system without closing any of the open applications.
Abstract:
Update data is uploaded in the field to data capture systems, such as electro- optical readers, RFID readers, and imagers, either before, after, or during data capture.
Abstract:
An imaging-based bar code reader that includes an imaging and decoding system. When used on a stand to image documents, typically neither the stand or document is moving. Therefore blurring due to motion is not an issue. A sensor detects when the scanner is mounted to a stand. When commanded to take an image the scanner electronics and software modifies an auto-exposure process to minimize gain and lengthen exposure. This modification results in the scanner that is effective for scanning bar codes and yet also takes excellent pictures when mounted to a stand.
Abstract:
Described is a system having a receiving element to receive configuration information for a network appliance and a generation element to generate codes for a readable element. The readable element is configured to be read by a reading element of the network appliance and the configuration information configures the network appliance for operation on a network.
