Abstract: A portable data collection device (10) adapted to be mounted to a shopping cart (18) is disclosed. The device includes a housing (12) having a clamping assembly (80, 82, 84 and 86) for releasably clamping the housing to a pushing bar (16) of a shopping cart (18). The housing (12) defines an interior region supporting device electronics. The device further includes an interactive touch sensitive visual display screen (110, 112) and a retractable, tethered dataform reader (22) releasable mounted on the housing (12). When mounted on the housing (12), an imaging assembly (42) and an illumination assembly (44) of the reader (22) are continuously actuated to read a dataform presented to the reader. When removed from the housing (12), the reader (22) is actuated by depressing a trigger (40) on the reader. The device also includes a magnetic stripe reading assembly (60), a printer (62) and communications circuitry (118) including a radio communicator module. A locator provides position information of the portable collection device (10) relative to a distribution facility via data interchange with a plurality of transceivers (166, 168). Information selectively obtained from the transceivers (166, 168) allows for selective retrieval and display of information on the visual display screen (110, 112) which is keyed to product type or location of the portable collection device (10).

Abstract: A communication system includes data terminals (20-1 to 20-N) and controllers (10, 12, 16, 19). The controllers have distinct areas of data terminals. The controllers map data terminals to groups and grant transmission time to each group in turn by polling. The controllers map the terminals to groups having a minimum number equal to a single terminal (20-1), corresponding to straight polling, and a maximum number equal to the total number of terminals (20-n) in the system, corresponding to a singly-slotted ring, and dynamically change the group sizes and mappings in response to the system activity.

Abstract: A cellular communication system hand-off protocol which helps minimize down time associated with a mobile device roaming among different cells in which different cells employ different communication channels (e.g., different frequency hopping sequences). In a preferred embodiment, each base station is configured to communicate its own particular hopping sequence to all other base stations via the system backbone. Each base station then provides to mobile devices which are registered thereto information regarding the particular hopping sequences employed by other base stations servicing cells into which the mobile device may roam. Such information includes the particular hopping sequences together with an indication of what location in the sequence the base stations are currently at in any given time. In addition, such information may include an indication of the intervals at which a base station is configured to transmit a beacon packet (for passive scanning operation), or at what intervals test pattern packets are transmitted to allow for signal quality evaluation.

Abstract: A charging system monitors the rate of change in battery voltage, adjusts the rate of charging, and checks the changes in battery voltage following adjustments in the rate of charging to observe a predetermined sequence of voltage changes that signifies when a battery is fully charged. The charging system determines the slope between consecutive battery voltage measurements. The charging system charges a battery at the full battery capacity in response to positive or zero voltage slope measurements and reduces the charging rate in response to negative voltage slope measurements. A nickel-cadmium battery is fully charged when at least one sequence of a negative slope, followed by a decrease in charging rate, then a positive or flat slope, followed by an increase in charge rate, and finally another negative slope is observed.

Abstract: A point of sale terminal (11) is disclosed that provides all of the usual point of sale terminal functions, but that is entirely field portable. Data pertinent to each purchase can be input to the terminal via a keyboard assembly (17), a touch-screen display (19) or a signature-capture screen assembly (25), or via an antenna (39) and radio link from an associated bar code scanner. Data may be communicated at any time to a remote host computer, also via a separate antenna and radio link. The communication links with the host computer and the bar code scanner operate independently and simultaneously, using mutually compatible modulation schemes such as a spread spectrum scheme for the host computer link and a narrowband or spread spectrum scheme for the bar code scanner link. The terminal thereby functions as a portable repeater or node in a data communications network.

Abstract: A hand-held data entry device having both portable and fixed point-of-sale modes. The device includes a housing having a chassis (18) for carrying a bar code scanner and a microprocessor-based system that stores inventory data relating to goods, and further having a removable and reversible panel (16) for permitting a display (22) and keyboard (24) to be remounted in an upside-down orientation relative to the direction of scanning. In this manner, a pistol-grip handle (12) used by the operator in the portable mode may be also used as a mount for the device in the fixed point-of-sale mode. In the fixed point-of-sale mode, the device is mounted thereby to a transaction device, such as a cash register, such that the scanner's beam of light is directed approximately vertically downward to scan the universal product code of goods that are passed below the scanner. Using opposing orientations of the panel, the keyboard and display may alternatively be viewed by the operator in each of the portable mode, when the operator scans away from his or her person, and the fixed point-of-sale mode, when the scanner is inverted to scan vertically downward. Preferably, the scanner is operator-actuated by a trigger (38) on the pistol-grip when the device is employed in the portable mode, and runs in an object-sense mode when the device is employed in the fixed point-of-sale mode.
