  • Patent number: 8777107
    Abstract: A roller laser encoding apparatus includes a barcode formed on a curved surface to form a curved barcode surface wherein the barcode is a sequence of different color laser reflectivity. When a laser transmitter emits a laser beam toward the curved barcode surface, the laser beam is reflected by the curved barcode surface to form a reflected laser beam. After the reflected laser beam is received by a laser receiver as a light signal, the optoelectronic converter converts the light signal of the reflected laser beam into a voltage signal. After the curved barcode surface is rotated in one revolution, an encoding processor collects the voltage signals from the optoelectronic converter in sequent and generates a sequence of voltage value in response to the sequence of different color laser reflectivity of the curved barcode surface so as to output a decoding signal of the curved barcode surface.
