摘要: Described herein is a barcode reading system that comprises a barcode reading enhancement accessory secured to a mobile device. The mobile device comprises a camera. The barcode reading enhancement accessory comprises a user-activated barcode read control and circuitry for generating a barcode read signal on the microphone input connector of the mobile device in response to user activation of the barcode read control. The barcode reading system also comprises a barcode reading application that comprises an image capture and decode function for controlling the camera to capture an image of a barcode within the field of view of the camera and generating decoded data representing data encoded in the barcode in response to the barcode read signal on the microphone input connector.

摘要: A barcode reader may include an image sensor array, an optic system, an image buffer, and a plurality of pre-processing circuits implemented in hardware. The optic system may be configured to focus an image of a barcode onto the image sensor array. The plurality of pre-processing circuits may collectively implement a plurality of different image processing functions. Each pre-processing circuit may be configured to receive as input an image frame from the image sensor array or an image data record from the image buffer. The image data record may be derived from the image frame. Each pre-processing circuit may also be configured to perform an image processing function with respect to the image frame or the image data record, thereby generating a new image data record. A decoder may use at least one image data record to decode the barcode.

摘要: A barcode reader and a docking station for charging the barcode reader are disclosed. The barcode reader may be an elongated pen-shaped device that includes a capacitive tip for use as a stylus against a capacitive touch screen and a barcode reader for reading a barcode. The barcode reader may be docked in the docking station for charging. The docking station may include a magnetic structure for holding the barcode reader to the docking station, and a positioning structure for aligning the charging contacts of the barcode reader and the docking station. The docking station may include a battery such that the barcode reader may be charged from the battery while being docked in the docking station.

摘要: This patent specification describes a barcode-reading system for a mobile device. The mobile device include an image sensor array for generating a color image of a target area. The color image includes sub-images each captured with a portion of the image sensor array sensitive to different bands of illumination. The barcode reading system may include an optic system configured to produce a targeting illumination pattern of a particular band of illumination passed by an optical filter within the target area. An image processing function of a barcode-reading application may create a grayscale composite image of a barcode by combining the sub-images. In combining the sub-images, a contribution from a sub-image captured by a portion of the image sensor array most sensitive to the particular band for the targeting illumination may be smaller than a contribution from the other two sub-images captured by other portions of the image sensor array.

摘要: A barcode reader may include a barcode reading system, a rechargeable battery, and a battery charging system. The battery charging system may be configured so that, in response to detecting placement of the barcode reader in a charging cradle, the battery charging system delays charging the battery if a charge level of the battery is above a first threshold level.
