    摘要: An improved card scanner (10) for imaging and decoding indica such as bar codes (40) on a side surface (19) of an inserted card (20). The device (10) is electrically powered and features a double scanning method using an electronic imaging element (31) and processor which turns off unnecessary power when not required. This is accomplished through the use of a processor and software to determine if a complete image of the bar code (40) on the inserted card has been captured and allowing immediate removal of the card (20). Should the image of the bar code (40) be incomplete, a second scan is conducted of the bar code (40) as it is removed and a complete image formed from the two individual scans. The device can also be used to compare photographs scanned from a card (20) with the digital photograph scanned from a two dimensional bar code (40) and to display both photos for viewing.
