A clip mounted bar code reader worn by a user initiates scanning of a field of view when the reader detects or senses that objects are proximity to the reader.
摘要:
A hands-free scanning system for reading indicia having parts of different light reflectivity, including a housing having a window and an actuatable electro-optical scanner in the housing for projecting a light beam through the window to indicia to be read, for scanning the indicia. The system further detects light of variable intensity that is reflected off the indicia to generate an electrical signal representative of the indicia. The housing is mounted on an arm of an operator and the scanner initiates reading of the indicia upon an audio command (i.e., voice activation) from a user.

The system further detects light of variable intensity that is reflected off the indicia to generate an electrical signal representative of the indicia. The housing is mounted on an arm of an operator and the scanner initiates reading of the indicia upon movement of the operator's hand relative to the arm by means of an actuator switch.
摘要:
Electrical power consumption is saved in a low-cost scanner for reading bar code symbols by oscillating one of the scanner components either by mechanical power alone or by a low-power electrical drive.
摘要:
In bar code symbol scanning systems employing laser, optical and sensor components a superstructure mounted on a housing and having a movable exit port to adapt the housing to steer a laser beam through the exit port to a particular course. Both right and left handed users are thereby accommodated.

Electrical power consumption is saved in a low-cost scanner for reading bar code symbols by oscillating a tall, narrow light collector, e.g., mirror, either by mechanical power along or by a low-power electrical drive. The collecting mirror has a width along the scan direction which is no more than about one-fifth its height, as considered along an orthogonal non-scan direction. A linear array of light emitting diodes is employed to illuminate the symbols.
摘要:
An electro-optical bar code symbol reader initiates reading of a symbol when a target bearing the symbol is detected within a predetermined distance of the reader. The reader is mounted on an operator's arm by being strapped around the operator's wrist. A keyboard and a display are provided on the reader for data entry and display.

摘要:
In bar code symbol scanning systems employing laser, optical and sensor components, a mirrorless scanner arrangement mounts one or more of these components on a drive for repetitive reciprocating laser movement either about an axis or in a plane to effect scanning.
摘要:
A target bearing a coded indicium is found by a system for electro-optically reading indicia. Upon the determination that the indicium is located within a range of working distances relative to a hand-held housing, a user is prompted that the indicium is ready to be read. A sonic signal is transmitted by a ranger, and a return echo from the indicium is received. An auditory prompt, such as a single tone or a series of tones, advises the user that the indicium is within range.
