摘要:
A system, method, and apparatus for communicating information encoded in a bar code format between a mobile communications device and a bar code scanner. Transmission information data is encoded into a bar code format. A signal is generated from the bar code format to simulate a reflection of a scanning beam being moved across a static visual image of the bar code format; and the signal is transmitted as light pulses from the mobile communications device.
摘要:
Techniques are described for facilitating the reliable communication of information to bar code scanners from mobile digital devices, thereby enabling mobile digital devices to easily access the current commercial infrastructure. These techniques may be used to access many other goods and services in addition to conventional commercial services. The core enabling technology is the use of various elements commonly found on mobile digital devices to provide light that simulate a reflection of a scanning beam being moved across a static bar code image, and to confirm completion of the scan. The control system may interpret the light provided by the mobile digital device as merely a conventional identification type bar code, although the control system may be enhanced to identify and receive other types of information, including identity and credit information.

Electronic gifting is performed using various devices, servers, and other system nodes on a network. A gifting server and a transaction facility server associated with a transaction facility have access to the network. A donor's personal electronic device and a recipient's personal electronic device also have access to the network. Both the donor personal electronic device and the recipient personal electronic device may be enabled with the light-simulated barcode technology and/or NFC technology. Financial systems such as, for example, credit card systems, banking systems, and loyalty card systems may also have access to the network, or may be directly accessible to the transactions facility systems.

Various energy harvesting and control techniques are used to power and control electronic accessories from the audio output channels and microphone input channel of mobile digital devices while preserving audio input and output functionality. One technique uses one of the stereophonic audio channels to generate power, and the other in conjunction with the microphone jack to enable bi-directional communications while preserving audio input and output. Another technique allows a low powered electronic accessory with bi-directional communications to be supported while simultaneously supporting audio input & stereo output. These techniques facilitate the ability to play music, narration and instruction and to receive oral responses and instruction with no perceived loss or gaps, even while using the audio jack of a mobile digital device to harvest energy and bi-directional communication.

A handwriting capture system combines an image capture device such as a PDA, notebook computer, set top box, smart television, or other type of smart appliance having an image capture capability and a built-in wireless transceiver, with an ink capture device such as, for example, a digital notepad using, for example, electromagnetic, resistivity, or laser digitizing technology and presenting a suitable writing surface such as, for example, a paper writing surface for conventional ink. Communications between the ink capture device and the image capture device is achieved with wireless technology. For image capture devices such as PDAs and notebook computers having built-in infrared ports and designed for personal use, a portfolio is used to carry the ink capture device and the image capture device, and an infrared transceiver module with an infrared port cabled to the ink capture device is mounted on the portfolio so that the infrared port of the module is aligned with the infrared port of the image capture device when the latter is mounted in the portfolio. The image capture device is mounted on the portfolio with retainer clips or by any other releasable mounting technique so that it may be easily removed and used separately. The image of what is written on the sheet of paper is automatically and seamlessly acquired electronically by the digital image capture device.

A services and application controller (“SAC”) is provided for digital electronic devices. The SAC includes four interfaces which respectively interact with four different environments, namely an application interface that interacts with application environments and applications, an extension interface that interacts with engines and enablers, a platform interface that interacts with device platform environments, and a service and network interface that interacts with services and service infrastructures and with networks. The SAC provides a set of core functions and abstracts the environments from each other, which enable interactions between these environments without requiring that the environments be aware of specific aspects of the other environments for the interactions.
