| 20090039157 | Taking undistorted images of moved objects with uniform resolution by line sensor - An apparatus ( | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090050699 | APPARATUS FOR PREVENTION OF READING OF MAGNETIC CARDS - A card reading machine includes a card reader for reading data on a magnetic card and a device for preventing reading of the data on the magnetic card by illegal card reading devices operatively associated with the card reading machine. The device for preventing may include an oscillator, a driver circuit and a coil for generating electromagnetic signals similar to data on a card. A method for preventing reading of data on a magnetic card by in illegal card reader in operative association with an apparatus having a card reader intended to read the data on the magnetic card includes producing a signal ruining the data collected by the illegal card reader. The apparatus having a card reader may include an insertion slot in which case the method may further include producing the signal near the insertion slot. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090159676 | Method for generating a protective electromagnetic field for a card reading device - The invention describes a device for a self-service terminal which contains a card reading device, for preventing the possibility of data on a card which is to be read by the card reading device | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100308112 | STORAGE DEVICE WITH DISPLAY MODULE - A storage device includes a storage module, a processor, an enclosure and a display module. The processor is capable of acquiring a storage status of the storage module. The display module is capable of displaying the storage status. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110139873 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING POSITIONS - To determine the positions of a code on a movable support, said support can be moved in a displacement direction relative to a sensor element comprising at least one sensor array in the vicinity of said array. The sensor array or arrays determine(s) the position of imaged code elements that can be differentiated from radiation in the vicinity of the sensor elements, the recorded values being read out in at least one read-out direction and positional values being determined from said values. The array or arrays is or are read out twice from opposite read-out directions, or one sensor pair consisting of two sensor arrays, is read out as a pair from opposite directions. Positional values are derived from the positions of the differentiated code elements and said values are averaged to provide a position with an improved accuracy. The accuracy can thus be increased by simple means. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110290877 | BARCODE DECODING CHIP - An exemplary barcode decoding chip includes a scan module, a boundary identification module, a direction identification module, a bar space boundary processing module, a symbol parameter identification module, a symbol character acquisition module, and a decoding module. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120085821 | BARCODE EVALUATION METHOD AND BARCODE EVALUATION APPARATUS - A barcode evaluation method for receiving an input image, performing an evaluation along a scanning direction upon the input image, and generating a barcode evaluation data includes: deriving at least one first luminance group in the input image according to a luminance threshold; documenting a plurality of characteristic values corresponding to the at least one luminance group, respectively; referring to a plurality of characteristic values of at least one specific first luminance group within the first luminance group to determine a distribution direction, and determining whether the specific first luminance group belongs to a barcode; and utilizing a processing element to generate the barcode evaluation data according to the input image, the distribution direction and the scanning direction. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120187189 | MULTIPLE DIRECTIONAL BARCODE SCANNER AND MULTIPLE SCANNING LIGHT SOURCE THEREOF - A multiple scanning light source for scanner includes a scanning pattern generating unit and a scanning pattern multiplying unit. The scanning pattern generating unit is for projecting a scanning pattern. The scanning pattern multiplying unit has a beamsplitter oblique to the projecting direction of the scanning pattern and a reflector substantially parallel to the beamsplitter. The scanning pattern is multiplied and projected toward a predetermined direction at intervals to form a scanning pattern array. In addition, a multiple directional barcode scanner having the above multiple scanning light source is also provided. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20130161388 | FRAUD PREVENTION - A method of detecting interference with a fraud prevention transmitter on a self-service terminal is described. The method comprises: detecting presentation of a card at a card reader; attempting to detect a customer while the card is presented; and triggering an alarm event if the customer is not detected while the card is presented on a predetermined number of occasions. | 06-27-2013 |
| 20140203081 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR RECOGNIZING ERRONEOUS INSERTION OF CARD, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - An electronic device comprises a socket having a plurality of connection terminals that accommodates a card-type external device having a corner cut-out portion, a plurality of contact pads exposed on a surface of the card-type external device that are correspondingly connected to the connection terminals in response to insertion of the card-type external device into the socket. A detection unit detects erroneous insertion of the card-type external device into the socket in response to incorrect location of the cut-out portion during the erroneous insertion. A processor outputs a control signal in response to the detected erroneous insertion of the card-type external device. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20150310245 | Embedding Information in an Image for Fast Retrieval - A binary bit-string is encoded in a circular image. The circular image encodes substrings of the bit-string in sectors of the circular image and includes redundant bits, error correcting codes, and metadata pertaining to the encoding scheme. To encode the bit-strings, a circular image is generated that includes a center ring and a first ring. Outward from the first ring, additional rings represent bits in the bit-string according to the width of each ring. The exterior of the image includes an outer boundary ring. The width of the boundary rings is used to define the widths representing the value of each ring. To extract a bit-string from an image, the center of the circular image is identified and a direction is selected to evaluate the image outward, determining the boundaries of each ring. The boundaries are analyzed to determine the width of each ring and the encoded bit values. | 10-29-2015 |
