Patent number: 9152834Abstract: An arrangement for, and a method of, electro-optically reading a target by image capture, employ an aiming assembly for projecting an aiming light pattern on the target that is located within a range of working distances relative to a housing, an imaging assembly for capturing an image of the target and of the aiming light pattern over a field of view, and a controller for determining a distance of the target relative to the housing based on a position of the aiming light pattern in the captured image, for determining a scanning resolution based on the determined distance, for comparing the determined scanning resolution with a scanning resolution setting, and for processing the captured image based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Symbol Technologies, LLCInventors: Dariusz J. Madej, Miroslav Trajkovic, Bruno Vande Vyvre

Patent number: 8903201Abstract: A system and method for processing an image of a document is disclosed. The method includes receiving at least one predetermined document parameter of the document. An image of the document is previewed on a display using a camera. The display provides a visual indication of a defect in the image based on the preview. A processor proposes a procedure to minimize the defect in the image. A user adjusts the camera in response to the proposal. The processor processes the image of the document.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew D. Blasczak, Alan J. Epshteyn, Mehaboob Kumbalakkuzhiyil, Bruno Vande Vyvre, Michelle X. Wang

Publication number: 20130329043Abstract: A method and apparatus for selective transmission of color information to a remote recognition system is provided herein. During operation, a central server may determine that at least one region in an image is ambiguously recognized, or unrecognized. In response, the central server will send a request for the image/video to be provided in color, or alternatively for a portion of the image/video to be provided in color. Because only selective images, or portions of images will be transmitted in color, the above transmission scheme enables reduction of bandwidth, and hence cost, required for transmitting images to the analytics server, without compromising the accuracy of the analytics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2012Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: BOAZ J. SUPER, THIBAUT DAVID, MIKLOS STERN, BRUNO VANDE VYVRE

Patent number: 8579198Abstract: A laser scanning device is described. The device includes a laser for projecting a light beam. A mirror is optically coupled to the laser. The mirror reflects the light beam onto a target. A detector generates an analog signal in response to detecting a reflection of the light beam from the target. A processor is capable of modifying a scanning parameter of the laser scanning device. The processor processes the analog signal to generate a digital bar pattern and can embed the scanning parameter in the digital bar pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dariusz Madej, Bruno Vande Vyvre

Publication number: 20130026235Abstract: A method of operating a laser scanner for reading a barcode. The laser scanner is configured to operate in at least two operating modes including a scanning mode and an aiming mode. The method includes operating the laser scanner in the scanning mode after a trigger signal is generated by a trigger on the laser scanner, and decoding the electrical signal that is received from the photodetector when the laser scanner is in the scanning mode. If the electrical signal from the photodetector is not successfully decoded after a first predetermined time period since the trigger signal is generated, alternating the laser scanner between the aiming mode and the scanning mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Gurevich, Peter Fazekas, Dariusz J.

Publication number: 20090152358Abstract: A device and method decodes data from a target. The method comprises projecting an aiming pattern onto the target using an aiming system. The aiming pattern has a predetermined shape. The method comprises capturing an image of an area using an image capturing device. The area includes at least one of a first area and a second area. The first area is an area of the aiming pattern. The second area is a predetermined area around the aiming pattern. The method comprises processing the image to determine a presence of the target within the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventors: Alan J.
