摘要： A graphical code reader is disclosed. The graphical code reader includes an image sensor. A first lens is provided for focusing light reflected from a graphical code to form a first image on a first region of the image sensor. A second lens is provided for focusing light reflected from the graphical code to form a second image on a second region of the image sensor. The first lens is separated from the image sensor by a first distance, and the second lens is separated from the image sensor by a second distance. The first distance is greater than the second distance. A decoder is also provided for processing image data to obtain information contained in the graphical code.

摘要： The present invention provides a novel optical reader device and method for calibrating the device. The device executes a calibration module that locates the actual coordinates for a targeting symbol in a captured image. The coordinates are stored as calibration coordinates in the memory. During normal operation of the reader device, the stored calibration coordinates are used to locate a target, such as a bar code. In order to locate the targeting symbol, the calibration module may overlay a template on clusters that may be the targeting symbol. A reasonable accurate comparison identifies the cluster as the targeting symbol. Alternatively, the calibration module may approach a cluster from four frames of the image and identify the cluster's tangents and perimeter. Geometrical calculations are used to identify the center of an identified targeting symbol.

摘要： A barcode-reading device can send barcode images to a remote server for decoding. A decoder on the remote server can process the images and attempt to decode any barcodes in the images. Once the decoder on the remote server has successfully decoded a barcode, the remote server can send the decoded data back to the barcode-reading device and/or to a host computing device that is communicatively coupled to the barcode-reading device. If the barcode-reading device receives the decoded data, the barcode-reading device can forward the decoded data to the host computing device. In some embodiments, a barcode-reading device can send all captured images to the remote server. Alternatively, a barcode-reading device can send only some captured images to the remote server. In some embodiments, a barcode-reading device can be configured to perform one or more preliminary processing operations on an image before sending the image to the remote server.

摘要： A barcode-reading device can be configured to record certain information about events related to the barcode-reading device in a usage log. The barcode-reading device can be configured so that it records certain information in the usage log whenever the barcode-reading device scans a barcode (e.g., a timestamp, an indication of whether the barcode is successfully decoded, a symbology of the barcode, decoded data). The barcode-reading device can also be configured so that it records information about events that are not specifically associated with a barcode scan (e.g., when the barcode-reading device is powered on, when the barcode-reading device experiences a failure). The information contained in the usage log can be processed to determine statistics relevant to the barcode-reading device. The device statistics can be used for various purposes, such as improving the performance of the barcode-reading device, improving the user's experience with the barcode-reading device, and so forth.

摘要： The disclosure concerns systems and methods for controlling access to a device with barcode-reading functionality. Enabling the barcode-reading functionality of the device may require providing authenticating information. A user may provide the authenticating information using an identification card with an embedded near field communication (NFC) tag. After the device or a charger of the device validates the embedded NFC tag, the device may enable the barcode-reading functionality but track an amount of time since a last barcode scan of the device. If the amount of time since the last barcode scan reaches a present period, the device may disable the barcode-reading functionality. The device may send a connection request from a portion of a local area network (LAN). A server may receive the request. The server may deny the device access to the LAN if the device is not authorized for use in the portion of the LAN.

摘要： A barcode-reading system for a mobile device may include a camera assembly. The barcode-reading system may include a barcode-reading enhancement accessory and a barcode-reading application. The barcode-reading enhancement accessory may be securable to the mobile device and may be configured to provide an indication of license entitlement to the mobile device. The barcode-reading application may be stored in memory of the mobile device and executable by a processor of the mobile device. The barcode-reading application may also be configured to enable an enhanced mode of operation of the barcode-reading application conditional upon determining obtaining the license entitlement from the accessory.
