摘要： Bar with count values indicating widths of white and black bars, which are reciprocally obtained, are input to buffers connected in series at 16 stages. The bar width count values written to those buffers are sequentially shifted each time a new bar width count value is input. A comparing circuit compares the widths of the adjacent bars in the same color with each other and checks whether or not a ratio therebetween falls within a range of 0.2-5.0 times as large as each other. Results of the comparisons by this comparing circuit are written to result registers connected in series at 13 stages. The check-results written to those result registers are sequentially shifted each time a new bar width count value is input. Accordingly, if all the check results written to all the result registers indicate an "in-range" state, it follows that the fifteen or more bars consecutively meet a bar code condition. Hence, the counter lets an AND gate open. If even one of the check results written to the result registers indicates an "out-of-range" state, the counter starts counting. Then, when a count result reaches 17, the counter lets the AND gate close. Therefore, just when one of the check results written to the result registers is in the "out-of-range" state, the bar width count value written to each buffer is output. The bar width count values input thereafter are disposed of.

摘要： A demodulated data storage buffer is stored with bar width data sets obtained by scanning a coupon code with a scan optical system. A CPU first executes a demodulating process on these bar width data sets in accordance with a demodulation algorithm in a WPC code system. If an end guard bar (RGB) of the WPC code is contained in the demodulated data by the demodulating process, the demodulating process is executed on the same bar width data sets in accordance with a demodulation algorithm in a CODE 128 code system.

摘要： A bar code recognizing/demodulating circuit compares with each other a demodulated data string including a start bar but excluding an end bar and a demodulated data string including the end bar but excluding the start bar among a variety of demodulated data strings obtained by a scan/convergence optical system scanning a bar code. A total sum of the numbers of digits of the two demodulated data strings is detected, and whether the total sum is larger than the number of digits of the bar code to be read is checked. If larger than the number of digits of the bar code, whether data of overlapped portions of the two demodulated data strings coincide with each other is checked. If coincident, demodulated data corresponding to the whole bar code are synthesized based on the two demodulated data strings.

摘要： A still image of a moving object is restored from portions including the object in an image by using a movement distance of the object during an exposure time and the difference value between output values of adjacent pixels, the movement distance being calculated as a number of pixels. Therefore, especially in cases where a moving bar code is imaged, even if the image of the bar code is blurred as a result of the movement of the bar code during imaging, a still image of the bar code in which the outlines of the black portions and white portions of the bar code are clear can be obtained. Accordingly, bar code information can be read out from the imaged bar code.

摘要： A POS system comprises a host computer providing a centralized control over a plurality of scanners, and a printer for printing a batch setting bar code or the like. A CPU of the scanner reads the changes in the setting from its own memory when it receives a first transmission request command and then transmits the data to the host computer as a first batch setting data. From this first batch setting data, a first batch setting bar code is generated. When this first batch setting bar code is read using the reader of the scanner whose setting has not been changed, the setting in the memory of this scanner is changed to the setting represented by the first batch setting data. Thus, setting in a plurality of scanners can speedily and accurately be changed.

摘要： A differentiation signal DF differentiated by a differentiation unit is inputted to a slice level generation unit and to comparators. A first peak-hold circuit and a voltage division circuit generate a slice level having a slice ratio SLR that is constant to a peak value VDF of the differentiation signal DF. A second peak-hold circuit generates a slice level the slice ratio SLR of which changes in accordance with the peak value VDF. The slice level generation unit outputs their synthetic slice level SLL, which is compared by the comparators with the level of the differentiation signal DF, outputting thereby binarized signals W-GATE and B-GATE. When the level of the differentiation signal DF is high, the slice level SLL approaches the peak value VDF. Therefore, noise components contained in the differentiation signal DF cannot exceed the slice level SLL. When the level of the differentiation signal DF is low, the slice level SLL has a constant ratio to the peak value VDF. Consequently, the peak value of the amplitude of the differentiation signal DF can be detected reliably.

摘要翻译： 由微分单元区分的微分信号DF被输入到限幅电平生成单元和比较器。 第一峰值保持电路和分压电路产生具有恒定到微分信号DF的峰值VDF的限幅比SLR的限幅电平。 第二峰值保持电路产生切片电平，其切片比SLR根据峰值VDF而变化。 限幅电平生成单元输出合成限幅电平SLL，其由比较器与微分信号DF的电平进行比较，从而输出二进制化信号W-GATE和B-GATE。 当微分信号DF的电平高时，限幅电平SLL接近峰值VDF。 因此，差分信号DF中包含的噪声分量不能超过限幅电平SLL。 当微分信号DF的电平低时，限幅电平SLL与峰值VDF具有恒定的比率。 因此，可以可靠地检测微分信号DF的振幅的峰值。
