20130306720 | CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM FOR READING OF DECODABLE INDICIA - A data decoding system can comprise one or more computers communicatively coupled to a network. The computers can execute at least one decoding process. The decoding process can be configured, responsive to receiving a decoding request comprising an image of decodable indicia, to locate the decodable indicia within the image, and to decode the decodable indicia into a decoded message. The decoding process can be further configured, responsive to completing a decoding operation, to transmit to the client the decoded message and/or the decoding operation completion code. | 11-21-2013 |
20140014724 | CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING OF DECODABLE INDICIA - A data decoding system can comprise a client computer including an imaging device and one or more servers executing at least one decoding process. The client computer can be configured to acquire an image of decodable indicia and to process the acquired image by:

20150115035 | HYBRID SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR READING INDICIA - An indicia-reading system is provided that incorporates a hybrid approach to decoding indicia such as barcodes. An indicia-capturing subsystem acquires information about indicia within the indicia-capturing subsystem's field of view. An indicia-decoding module decodes indicia information acquired by the indicia-capturing subsystem. The indicia-decoding module includes a primary, basic signal processor for initially decoding indicia information, and a secondary, advanced signal processor for decoding indicia information that is not decoded by the primary, basic signal processor. | 04-30-2015 |
20150134470 | SELF-CHECKOUT SHOPPING SYSTEM - A self-checkout shopping system improves the retail shopping experience, permitting the self-serve customer to perform checkout tasks that are typically performed at the retailer's checkout area as the customer is selecting items for purchase. The system includes a mobile computer device and an indicia reader. The customer uses the mobile computer device to scan items selected for purchase. The item numbers are then compiled onto a list of acquired merchandise. When the customer has finished shopping, the system transmits the list of acquired merchandise, and any additional information such as customer financial information, to a point-of-sale terminal to facilitate the customer's payment for the merchandise. | 05-14-2015 |
20150144692 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDICIA READING AND VERIFICATION - An indicia-reading system and indicia-verification method are provided. The indicia-reading system includes an indicia-capturing subsystem for acquiring information about indicia within the indicia-capturing subsystem's field of view. The system also includes an indicia-decoding subsystem for decoding indicia information. A verification subsystem evaluates the quality of the indicia information and generates user feedback regarding the quality of the indicia information. | 05-28-2015 |
20150287290 | MULTIFUNCTION POINT OF SALE SYSTEM - A point of sale system capable of operating in an indicia-reading mode or a verification mode is disclosed. In the indicia-reading mode, the point of sale system configures its illumination, imaging, and processing to read indicia as part of a normal checkout process. If triggered by a user or by an event, the point of sale system may operate in a verification mode. In the verification mode, the point of sale system enables the necessary illumination, imaging, and processing to verify an item. This verification includes illuminating the item in a way that causes a noticeable response from a security mark (or marks) on the item. An image of the response may be captured and processed to authenticate/verify the item. The point of sale system may then respond to the verification and/or may store the image/results as a record of the verification. | 10-08-2015 |
