    Abstract: A beacon anchor may include a signal generator configured to generate an ultra-wide band signal inclusive of a unique identifier associated with the beacon anchor, where the UWB signal is a pulse sequence. A transceiver may be in communications with the signal generator. Responsive to receiving the UWB signal from the signal generator, the UWB signal may be broadcast. A processing unit may be in communication with the transceiver, and, responsive to receiving a unicast communications session request from a portable device, be configured to establish a unicast communications session with the portable device to enable a distance between the portable device and beacon anchor to be determined. Through use of UWB signals, relative position (e.g., in front of or behind the beacon anchor) may be determined, thereby enabling different actions to be taken in response to determining the relative position.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of operation for a machine-readable symbol reader for estimating the distance of a scanned target object or item labeled with indicia, such as a machine-readable symbol. The reader may include an illumination subsystem which projects a light pattern (e.g., line) out from the reader. The reader may capture an image of the target object while the light pattern is projected thereon and analyze at least one detectable characteristic of the pattern to estimate distance of the target object relative to the reader. A one-dimensional sensor array of the reader may be exploited in part for imaging a symbol and in part for imaging detectable characteristics (e.g., edges) of the projected illumination pattern which allows for estimation of the reading distance. A central portion of the one-dimensional sensor array may be dedicated to imaging a machine-readable symbol and lateral portions may be dedicated to implementing a range finder.

    Abstract: A reader contains a housing with a window having a peripheral rim. The housing has a device for reading coded information which generates a field projecting through the window towards the outside of the housing, and has a device for visually indicating the result to a user. The visual indication device generates an indication appearing substantially at least on the window, on a portion of the peripheral rim of the window, or on a portion of the housing adjoining laterally the peripheral rim of the window. The housing portion is at least on the left side, right side, or below the window. Additionally, a camera based checkout security system includes at least a checkout security camera and a fixed position reader of coded information. The checkout security camera generates a camera field of view directed towards the window of the fixed position reader of coded information.

    Abstract: A data reading system, and associated methods of operation, for locating and tracking a position of tagged items on a conveyor system. The system includes a data reader and a conveyor system operable to transport the tagged items through a read region of the data reader. A processor, in operative communication with the data reader, obtains data from an item tag being passed through the read region at a first time, at a second time, at a subsequent third time, and so forth. Based on the readings, the processor estimates an initial position of each item tag and determines an order at which each item reaches a reference position on the conveyor system.

    Abstract: A reading apparatus (5) for reading optical information (I) comprises a body (6) provided with a frontal face (7); optical information (I) acquisition means, which is arranged at a distance from the frontal face comprised between a minimum significant work distance, in particular 50 mm, and a maximum work distance, in particular 350 mm, defining a significant work range; illuminating means for emitting an illuminating pattern (2) such as to enable the optical information to be acquired; aiming means for emitting an aiming pattern (3) such as to indicate to a user a field of view of the apparatus; indicating means for emitting a reading apparatus outcome pattern (4) such as to supply indications to a user relating to the acquisition of the optical information (1). The illuminating means, the aiming means and the indicating means comprise respective non-coherent light sources. At least the illuminating means and/or the aiming means and/or the indicating means of the apparatus (5) are configurable by a plurality of operating parameters, for each of which respective permissible values are selectable that are able to influence the behaviour reading apparatus (5) with an effect that is detectable by said user during operation of the reading apparatus (5), The plurality of operating parameters comprises the wavelength of each of the light sources, the permissible values of the wavelength of the source of the aiming means are comprised in a range from 430 to 470 nm, the permissible values of the wavelength of the source of said illuminating means are comprised in a range from 590 to 650 nm; the permissible values of the wavelength of the source of the indicating means are comprised in a range from 530 to 560 nm. The permissible values of said wavelengths are such that the perception of the illuminating pattern (2), of the aiming pattern (3) and of the reading outcome pattern (4) is optimum to the human eye in consideration of the physiological properties thereof and this perception occurs with reduced visual fatigue to the user over the entire significant work range.
