Abstract: An optical scanning system for reading indicia of differing light reflectivity has an optical scan module (1) which is adapted to be mounted on a finger of a user. A first peripheral module (7), preferably in the form of a wrist watch, has a receiver (920) which detects the reflected light. A second peripheral module (9), mounted on the other arm of the user, communicates with the first module by radio frequency transmission. According to other aspects of the invention, the light detector may be mounted in a housing which is separate and apart from the optical scan module. According to another aspect, a laser pointer or scanner is mounted to a ring (1) which is arranged to be worn on a single finger of the user.

Abstract: A wrist-mounted optical scanner comprises a body portion (900) which is secured to the user's wrist by a strap (902), in the manner of a wrist watch. The body portion has a display (904), a miniature microphone (906), a photodetector (908), a transmitter unit (917) and a plurality of function keys (910). Beneath or within the body portion (900) there is stored a key pad (912) which can be slid in and out in the direction of the arrow (914) for access to the keys (916). The keys may be actuated by means of a pen or stylus (918).

Abstract: A data transfer system for an LCD price tagging arrangement includes an electro-optical scanner and one or more LCD price tags. Each LCD price tag is associated with a given product in a retail outlet and carries price or other information relating to that product. The LCD price tag includes an electro-optical detector for detecting a beam generated by the scanner. The scanner light beam generating source is modulated such that the beam carries product information. Accordingly the price or other product information on the LCD price tag can be quickly and efficiently updated.
