Abstract: A custom designed programming language for a ring scanner is disclosed. The ring scanner language, also referred to as RISL, is uniquely designed to meet the requirements and needs of ring scanners. It is meant to be a light weight language that can be written through one or more commands to generate custom screens/interfaces/cards of the ring scanner.

Abstract: A ring scanner is disclosed. The ring scanner is configured to determine an inclination angle of the ring scanner with respect to a ground and based on the inclination angle set an operating mode for the ring scanner, where the operating mode includes either a communication mode or a scanning mode.

Abstract: A ring scanner is disclosed. The ring scanner is configured to receive an input selection of a keyword displayed on a display of the ring scanner. The keyword is linked to a routing function and the routing function is configured to route a scanned image or barcode obtained by the ring scanner to a destination computing device. Based on the input selection, the ring scanner can route the scanned image or barcode to the destination computing device. The ring scanner can receive from the destination computing device, a graphic to be displayed on the display of the ring scanner in response to the destination computing device processing the scanned image or barcode. The graphic can displays information or an action to be taken in response to the scanned image or barcode. The graphic may be displayed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a scanner device is provided. The scanner device includes an optical detector and a processor. The optical detector being configured to read an optical label and return a string representing the optical label. The processing device configured to execute an operating system and a software application. The operating system comprising an inspection module configured to (i) receive the string from the optical detector and (ii) execute a script able to specify how to interpret the string and how to alter or enrich the string before passing the string to the software application for processing.

Abstract: Embodiments position a barcode reader, or other optical detector, to scan upright barcodes when the user hand is in the neutral position. To do this, embodiments rest the body of the ring scanner device on top of the index finger, with the palm facing inward toward the users body. Embodiments have integrated interactivity, including a touchscreen display and separate buttons that can be used to operate the optical detector and input data into an integrated computing device. The integrated computing device can run software applications on board the ring scanner device. Finally, the integrated computing device can be remotely managed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a kiosk mounting apparatus includes a chassis, payment module, and enclosure. The chassis is configured to mount a tablet computing device. The tablet computing device includes a touch screen display and is configured to execute an interactive application. The payment module is mounted to the chassis and is configured to be communicatively coupled to the tablet computing device. The payment module is configured to detect payment data specifying an account from a user's payment device. The payment module is configured to encrypt the payment data and to communicate the encrypted payment information to the tablet computing device for processing by a payment gateway. The enclosure is mounted to the chassis and has an opening for the touch screen display. The enclosure encloses the payment module. By enclosing the payment module, the kiosk mounting apparatus encapsulates the payment module into the kiosk.

Abstract: A user can scan a QR code on a kiosk with her mobile device. Scanning the QR code will cause the mobile device to display an interface displayed on the kiosk. When a user enters information on the device corresponding information is displayed on the kiosk. In this way, a user can engage with the kiosk interface in a contactless manner.

Abstract: A distance to stop a vehicle is received. A trajectory including a plurality of acceleration segments, being respective portions of the trajectory prescribing at least one of an acceleration and a jerk elapsing for a specified period of time, is plotted according to the distance. At least one of a vehicle brake and a vehicle propulsion are adjusted based on the trajectory to stop at the distance. The acceleration segments include two or more of a ramp-in, a deceleration, a ramp-out, and a final deceleration.
