摘要:
In an optical bar-code reader, an optical scanner (11) optically scans a bar code (1) to obtain optical power of light reflected from white bars and black bars of the bar code (1), a differentiation unit (22) calculates a differential of the optical power to obtain a differential waveform, a dividing unit (23) divides the differential waveform into a positive waveform and a negative waveform, a bar-code correcting unit (24, 25) calculates correct widths of black bars in the bar code from the positive waveform and the negative waveform to create corrected bar-code data, and a converter (28) converts the corrected bar-code data into character data that is an array of numerals and letters.

A scan beam formed by the optical scanning unit is divided by the first scan beam dividing unit and the second scan beam dividing unit. The first scan beam dividing unit and the second scan beam dividing unit are disposed in such a manner that the scan beams divided by the first scan beam dividing unit traverse a rotation axis of the optical scanning unit before reaching the second scan beam dividing unit.

摘要:
A bar-code reader has an optical scanner (2) which optically scans a bar code (1) to obtain signal strength of light reflected from black bars and white bars of the bar code (1). An extracting unit (5a) then extracts edge data, which includes a plurality of edges and the signal strength of which changes corresponding to a change from a black bar to a white bar and vice versa, and an edge-emphasizing unit (5f) emphasizes edge data of an edge that satisfies a predetermined condition. A judgment unit (5h) is then used to make a ternary judgment of each edge based on the edge emphasized to obtain a ternary result, and a decoder (5i) decodes bar-code characters from the ternary result.

A bar code reader (100) is arranged to communicate with a host apparatus (200). The bar code reader includes a read unit that reads a bar code (50) attached to an article, and outputs bar code information corresponding to the read bar code; a term information acquisition unit that acquires term information included in the bar code information; and a term expiration check unit that checks whether the shelf life of the article has expired based on the term information. A notification unit notifies that the shelf life of the article has expired upon determination by the term expiration check unit to the host apparatus (200). By performing its own expiration check, the bar code reader reduces the load on the host apparatus.
摘要:
A bar code reader has two reading windows, i.e., a bottom window (5) and a side window (4). An increased number of scanning lines are used for constituting scanning patterns for scanning bar codes, and the arrangement of the optical system is contrived to decrease the whole size of the bar code reader and, particularly, to decrease the depth of the bar code reader. A source (21) of laser light, a splitter (22) for splitting the laser beam emitted from the laser light source into two, a reflection mirror (23, 24) for transmitting one beam from the splitter to a polygon mirror (25) which rotates to scan the incident laser beam, a mirror system (26) for emitting the beam reflected by the polygon mirror through the reading window (5), and a focusing member (30) for focusing the beam reflected by the bar code onto a detector (28) that detects the beam reflected by the bar code, are arranged on the same line in the bar code reader. By using a concave mirror (30), furthermore, the beam reflected by the bar code is folded back to one detector (28). The light-receiving surface of another detector (29) is faced downward to receive the beam reflected by the bar code through a Fresnel lens (32) and mirror (33), thereby to decrease the depth of the bar code reader. Furthermore, the beam passage from the reflection mirror goes through the lower surface of the polygon mirror intersecting the axis of rotation of the polygon mirror.
