摘要: A light source, a converging lens and a light responsive image sensor are optically coupled to recognize the code information such as bar codes recorded on an object. The light source supplies the code information with illumination light and the image sensor receives the reflected light through the converging lens to convert it into the image signal. The distance between the lens and the image sensor is adjusted automatically in response to the image signal such that clear reflected light is received by the image sensor, whereby correct information recognizing operation is attained.

摘要: A great number of bar codes are recorded in dual directions on a bar code information card. Each bar code is comprised of a plurality of bar symbols juxtaposed in parallel to each other. A plurality of bar codes, constituting one group bar code, are arranged in one direction which is orthogonal to the bar symbol and a plurality of group bar codes are arranged in the other direction in which the bar symbol extends. A great deal of bar-coded information is recognized by transferring the bar code information card in the longitudinal direction of the bar symbol and scanning the bar code orthogonally thereto.

摘要: A bar code having a plurality of parallel bars recorded in either narrow width or wide width is scanned by a plurality of light responsive elements which are driven one by one by a clock pulse of a fixed frequency. The intermittent output image signal of the elements is converted into a continuous signal by sample-and holding the peak level of the image signal at the same frequency as that of the clock pulse. The continuous signal is then compared with a reference value to be converted into a rectangular signal which has time intervals proportional to respective bar widths. For discriminating each bar width, each time interval of the rectangular signal is measured by counting a clock pulse of another fixed frequency and compared with another reference value. The frequency of the clock pulse for interval measuring purpose is determined to be higher than that of the clock pulse for scanning and sample-and-holding purposes.

摘要: A card on which at least a group of bar-coded information are printed is carried by a motor-driven carrier. The bar-coded information is sensed and converted into a group of parallel digital signals, which is compared with a previously stored data to check coincidence. The same bar-coded information is repeatedly sensed, converted, and compared as above and number of the coincidence times is counted until it has passed a read-in position driven by the card carrier. The card is accepted as readable when the number of coincidence times reaches a preset number. Otherwise, it is rejected by reversing the motor.

摘要: A light source and a light responsive sensor are optically coupled to recognize information such as bar codes recorded on an object. The light source projects illumination light onto the object and the sensor receives the reflected light the density of which represents the recorded information. The sensor is swept to convert the light density into an image signal which is then passed through a filter. An image signal, the low frequency noise signal component resulting from the fluctuation of the illumination light being excluded therefrom by the filter, is available for recognizing the recorded information precisely.

摘要: A system for recognizing bar code information having a plurality of bar codes. One of bar codes is constituted as an index code in a different manner from the other bar codes constituted as numerical codes. These bar codes are scanned sequentially and converted into corresponding parallel digital signals. Code scanning directions are discriminated with reference to the parallel digital signal corresponding to the index code. A plurality of registers adapted to memorize each parallel digital signal are triggered in forward and reverse sequences, when the scanning directions are discriminated to be forward and reverse, respectively.

摘要: A 2-dimensional code reader includes a camera for scanning a surface which carries a 2-dimensional code thereon, an amplifier for amplifying electric signals fed from the camera, a device for identifying a code-region out of the scanned surface and a device for detecting information contained in the 2-dimensional code. The amplifying rate or gain is controlled according to a signal level representing a brightness of the identified code-region, not depending on a brightness of a whole scanned surface. The amplifier may includes an automatic gain controller which controls the amplifying rate according to the brightness of the whole scanned surface. In this case, the amplifying rate is adjusted based on an areal ratio of the code-region to the whole scanned surface area to obtain a clear image of the code, irrespective of the brightness of the scanned surface. Some symbol marks may be included in the 2-dimensional code in order to effectively identify the code-region on the scanned surface.

摘要: A bar code recognition system in which a threshold value for discriminating each bar of bar codes is automatically corrected. Bar codes representing information are constituted by a combination of wide and narrow bars to be scanned and converted into a rectangular signal having a time width proportional to the width of each bar. In proportion to the total time widths of the rectangular signal generated in each scanning cycle, the threshold value with reference to which each bar width is discriminated is determined to enhance the recognition operation of the system.

摘要: Bar symbols having different bar width for representing information are grouped and recorded on a surface of an object. A light-responsive sensor is swept automatically to repetitively scan the density of the surface-reflected light along the direction in which thegrouped bar symbols are arranged, while the object is moved orthogonally thereto. Electrical signals indicative of the bar width derived from the sensor are processed thereafter for the read-in of the coded data.

摘要: An optical information reader which can promptly eliminate mirror reflection regions with high accuracy without the need for a plurality of expensive CCDS. When it is discriminated that mirror reflection regions exist in an image of a two-dimensional code obtained by a CCD under illumination condition 1, the condition is changed to illumination condition 2 and an image is obtained. If there is a mirror reflection region also in the new image, the previously obtained image and the new image are synthesized by calculating the OR. When no mirror reflection regions exist in the synthesized image, a decoding is executed. Since it is sufficient to use only one CCD in the optical information reader, system cost is minimized. As images are obtained by the same CCD, even if images are synthesized, a positional deviation does not occur, the mirror reflection regions can be promptly eliminated with high accuracy, and an obtained image is accordingly very accurate.
