    摘要: An automatically-activated code symbol reading system (1) comprising a bar code symbol reading mechanism (4) contained within a hand-supportable housing having a manually-activatable data transmission switch (7A). During symbol reading operations, the bar code symbol reading mechanism (4) automatically generates a visible laser scanning pattern (10) for repeatedly reading one or more bar code symbols on an object during a bar code symbol reading cycle, and automatically generating a new symbol character data string in response to each bar code symbol read thereby. During system operation, the user visually aligns the visible laser scanning pattern (3, 10) with a particular bar code symbol on an object (e.g., product, bar code menu, etc.) so that the bar code symbol is scanned, detected and decoded in a cyclical manner. During the bar code symbol reading cycle, the user actuates the data transmission switch (7A) producing a data transmission control activation signal and enabling a currently or subsequently produced symbol character data string to be automatically selected and transmitted to the host system (5).

    摘要: Method and apparatus for automatically reading bar code symbols is disclosed. One aspect of the present invention concerns a method of reading bar code symbols using an automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device. In general, the automatic bar code symbol reading device comprises a hand-holdable housing containing operative elements which provide an object detection field and a scan field each defined external to the housing. The method involves automatically detecting the presence of an object within the object detection field by sensing energy reflected off the object. In a preferred embodiment, the energy reflected off the object is IR radiation produced from an object sensing energy source disposed within the housing. In automatic response to the detection of the object within the object detection field, the hand-holdable device detects the presence of a bar code aligned by the user within the scan field using a laser beam produced within the housing. Then, in automatic response to the detection of a bar code in the scan field, the automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device reads the detected bar code in the scan field by producing scan data signals from the detected bar code and thereafter collecting and analyzing the same. Another aspect of the present invention concerns a hand-holdable data collection device adapted for use with the automatic bar code symbol reading device to form a portable symbol reading system which is versatile and simple to use.
