Abstract: Indicia readers with internal displays are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, an indicia reader includes a housing having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion having a first window positioned in a generally horizontal plane, the top portion having a second window positioned in a generally upright plane. The reader further includes an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly configured to capture image data associated with an item presented at a product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader. Additionally, the reader includes a user-interface (UI) display positioned within the housing, the UI display configured to present visual data to an operator of the bi-optic reader, wherein the visual data includes data associated with the item presented at the product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader.

Abstract: Techniques for weight checking to verify ticket switching are disclosed. The system includes a weighing scale, cameras to capture images of items and their barcodes, a processor, and memory with instructions. The processor determines a first identification from the barcode image and a second identification from the item image. It compares these identifications to check for a match. If they do not match, it prompts the user to place the item on the scale. If the item's weight does not match the expected weight for the first identification, the system triggers mitigation actions such as pausing transactions or alerting staff.t

Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an image sensor, a depth sensor, and at least one processor. The image sensor acquires images within a first field-of-view. The depth sensor includes a plurality of photosensitive cells that acquires distance information within a second field-of-view. The second field-of-view at least partially overlaps the first field-of-view. The at least one processor is programmed to transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to satisfaction of a specified criteria based on object information associated with the distance information for an object within the second field-of-view.

Abstract: At least some embodiments presented herein are directed to bi-optic indicia readers. In at least some embodiments the present invention is a bi-optic indicia reader that includes two FOVs which are configured to allow the reader to capture and successfully decode a 13-mil indicia presented to a respective FOV in a plane that is angled at least 80 degree to a plane that is defined by the window of the reader through which the FOV is passing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for avoidance of unintended indicia scanning are disclosed herein. An example system may include an imaging device comprising: (1) one or more image sensors; (2) a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the one or more image sensors and configured to: (i) instruct the one or more image sensors to capture the image data including a plurality of image frames over a FOV, (ii) decode an indicia in an initial image frame of the plurality of image frames to generate decoded indicia data of the indica, (iii) determine a first location associated with the indicia in the initial image frame, (iv) determine a second location associated with the indicia in a subsequent image frame, (v) determine whether a positional difference between the second location and the first location exceeds a threshold value, and (vi) transmit the decoded indicia data of the indicia to a host processor.

Abstract: This disclosure presents an indicia reader equipped with two distinct imaging assemblies and a pair of mirrors, one of which is dichroic. This reader can generate both two-dimensional and three-dimensional image data. The dichroic mirror is designed to pass light in a specific wavelength range while reflecting light in another range, effectively directing different light towards the appropriate imaging assembly. This novel design enables efficient packaging of essential hardware, enhancing the reader's functionality for industries that require item tracking.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting scan volume are provided. An example includes an indicia reading system comprising a two-dimensional (2D) imaging assembly having at least one 2D imaging sensor and operable to capture 2D image data over at least one 2D field of view (FOV); a three-dimensional (3D) imaging assembly having at least one depth sensor and operable to capture depth data over at least one 3D FOV; and a processor configured to: perform a decoding operation on an indicia appearing in the 2D image data and transmit a payload of the indicia to a host when (i) the indicia is captured in the 2D image data and (ii) at least one of the indicia or an object bearing the indicia is positioned within a 3D scan volume.

Abstract: Systems and methods for object locationing to initiate an identification session are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing, by a first imager of an imaging assembly, an image including image data of a target location at a checkout station. The example method further includes analyzing the image data to identify an object transportation apparatus positioned proximate to the target location, and determining, based on the image data, whether the object transportation apparatus is located within the target location. The example method further includes, responsive to determining that the object transportation apparatus is located within the target location, initiating, by a second imager of the imaging assembly, an identification session to verify that each object in the object transportation apparatus is included on a list of decoded indicia.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing customer initiated services to a mounted user interface device in a retail environment. At a user interface device, a customer scans an object missing a barcode or label, and the interface device connects to a remote customer service platform configured to detect the object and return to the interface device barcode data for the object, where a corresponding label is printed with the returned data. The user interface device may be automatically connected to a remote agent based on anonymized user data or based on scanned object data for providing particularly customized user services, such as explanations on how to use the object.
