摘要:
A hand-supportable digital image capture and processing system supporting a multi-tier modular software, and plug-in extendable, architecture. The digital image capture and processing system can be realized as an image-capturing cell phone, a digital camera, a video camera, mobile computing terminal and portable data terminal (PDT), provided with suitable hardware platform, communication protocols and user interfaces. The configuration file that controls (i.e. conditions) the multiple third-party plug-ins includes conditional programming logic that chains (i.e. orders) the multiple third-party plug-ins so that the customer can enable interaction and configuration between multiple plug-ins, and achieve enhanced system functionality.
