Abstract: An example method for charging a barcode reader that can be implemented by a charging cradle includes: detecting that the barcode reader is coupled to a first interface of the charging cradle for the barcode reader; detecting that a spare battery of the barcode reader is coupled to a second interface of the charging cradle; receiving, via a connection between the charging cradle and a port of a host power source, an indication of a magnitude of an input current that the host power source is capable of delivering to the charging cradle over the connection; comparing the magnitude of the input current to a threshold magnitude; responsive to the comparing, determining a charging order in which to charge the barcode reader and the spare battery using the input current from the host power source; and charging the barcode reader and the spare battery in accordance with the charging order.

Abstract: Techniques for connecting and disconnecting cordless scanners to/from host devices are disclosed herein. A transceiver of an example barcode reader is configured to attempt to establish a wireless connection with a host device (e.g., repeatedly) over a first period of time. Responsive to failing to establish the connection with the host device over the first period of time, the barcode reader enters a power-saving mode. During the power-saving mode at least one of the transceiver, a decode engine, a peripheral sensor, and an imaging engine of the barcode reader are deactivated. The wireless transceiver of the barcode reader is configured to attempt to re-establish the wireless connection with the host device after (i) a passage of a second period of time following the first period of time, wherein the second period of time is greater than the first period of time; or (ii) a receipt of an interrupt signal.

Abstract: Devices and methods for improving proximate device battery management are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a signal from a proximate device when the proximate device satisfies a distance threshold. The signal may include a dataset corresponding to the proximate device, and the proximate device may have a primary connection to a primary device. The example method may further include analyzing the dataset to determine whether a battery management threshold of the proximate device is violated; and in response to determining that the battery management threshold is violated, establishing a secondary connection to the proximate device.

Abstract: A method of pairing a client device to a host device, the method comprising: obtaining, at the host device, a reference approval code; receiving, at the host device, a pairing request from the client device; when the pairing requests includes an embedded approval code, comparing the embedded approval code to the reference approval code; when the embedded approval code matches the reference approval code, bypassing an approval request and approving a pairing of the client device to the host device; and responsive to approving the pairing, pairing the client device to the host device based on the pairing request.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for authenticating features for download to an image scanning apparatus has a client computing device generate an image of a symbol that encodes authentication data. The client computing device hashes a communication parameter of its transceiver, digitally signs the hash value with a private key from public-private key pair, and encodes the hash value, digital signature and the unencrypted communication parameter into the symbol. The image scanning apparatus captures an image of the symbol, decodes the symbol, verifies whether the unencrypted communication parameter corresponds to the hash of the communication parameter, and a public key stored in the memory of the barcode reader corresponds with the private key used to sign the hash value. If the communication parameter corresponds with the hash value and the signature corresponds with the public key, the barcode reader enables its transceiver to download the feature from the client computing device.
