    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for a handheld printing device that allow the handheld printing device to print images onto a planar or non-planar print surface are described herein. The handheld printing device may include, among other things, a print head, a position module, and a print module. The print head may be designed to deposit one or more printing substances onto a print surface of a print medium. The position module may be designed to generate mapping information of the print surface including three dimensional location of a print spot of the print surface, and to generate positioning information indicating three dimensional location of the handheld printing device relative to the print medium. And finally, the print module may be designed to control the print head, to cause the print head to deposit or not to deposit one or more of the printing substances onto the print spot based, at least in part, by comparing the positioning information to the mapping information.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for use in a device, such as a handheld printer or scanner, having functionality that requires information of its position relative to an origin and initial orientation. The module includes two sensors to generate movement data indicative of movement direction and orientation changes of the device. The location and orientation of the device relative to the origin and initial orientation is derived based on the movement data. A handheld printer or scanner implementing the device may thus be moved in different directions across a media to print or scan images, text, or other objects.

    摘要: A mobile, handheld and hand-propelled labeling printer is disclosed for use in printing label data on a storage object. The label data may include a description of the preservation item, the data and time that the preservation item was collected, the location from which it was collected, an identification of the person who collected the item, an identification number, and other data. The label data may be printed as text or code. The labeling printer receives image data of the label data. A user moves the labeling printer on a storage object for printing the label data while a position module provides absolute position data so that the label data is accurately printed. Complete consistency between stored label data and printed label is achieved because the image data is based on label data obtained from the stored label data.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for a handheld image translation device configured to detect an edge of a target print medium to prevent unintended deposition of a printing substance are described herein. The handheld image translation device, which may be a printing device, may include a print head, a position module, and a print module. The print head may be configured to deposit one or more printing substances onto a first surface such as a target print surface. The position module may be configured to receive data from navigation sensors indicating a first surface characteristic of the first surface, and to determine whether at least a portion of the print head is positioned over a second surface having a second surface characteristic different from the first characteristic, wherein the determination is made by detecting a characteristic other than the first surface characteristic as indicated by data received from the navigation sensors.
