Patent number: 6758403Abstract: The invention is a data editing system for configuring a data collection device to edit decoded-out message data according to a data editing routine specified by a user programmer. In one embodiment the system includes a data collection device and a host processor assembly including a display, a user interface and a program builder program which displays on the display either representation of instructions being authored by the user-programmer or prompt messages prompting the user-programmer to information respecting requirement of the message data to be output by the data collection device. In response to information input by the user programmer, the program builder program builds a set of data editing instructions, and the set of data editing instructions are transmitted to the data collection device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2001Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: PSC Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Barry Keys, Stephen P. Deloge, Larry Ramsey-Macomber

Patent number: 6598791Abstract: A self-checkout system for a retail establishment that allows a customer to checkout multiple items having respective identification codes, the system includes a computer having memory with a buffer, an identification code reader coupled to the computer for determining the identifications of the items by the identification codes, a security verification mechanism coupled to the computer for verifying that the items actually being checked out from the retail establishment are the same as those identified by the identification code reader, and whereby the computer is adapted to store identification information of multiple items obtained by the identification code reader in the buffer before verifying that the items actually being checked out from the retail establishment are the same as those identified by the identification code reader.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: PSC Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Donald Bellis, Jr., Barry Keys, James Behrens

Publication number: 20030018897Abstract: A system and method of verifying an identification of a customer using a self-checkout system of a retail establishment, the method including capturing an image of a customer's identification at the self-checkout system and displaying the customer's identification at a location remote from the self-checkout system to verify the identification of the customer. Capturing an image of a customer's identification may include, for example, obtaining an image of a customer's drivers license, retrieving stored information that would normally be found on a customer's drivers license such as a picture of the customer and personal information on the customer, and/or obtaining an image of the customer. This information may be displayed at an attendant station of the retail establishment so that an attendant can verify the customer's identity for purchasing age-restricted items such as tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, or certain solvents, or for other purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2001Publication date: January 23, 2003Applicant: PSC Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Donald Bellis, Paul Denimarck, Barry Keys
