  • Publication number: 20240062026
    Abstract: A data capture device includes: a primary housing supporting a data capture assembly and having inner and outer surfaces joined by a perimeter wall; and a mounting accessory coupled to the inner surface. The mounting accessory mounts the device on an operator index finger in either of: a side-mounted mode in which the primary housing is between the index finger and a thumb; and a top-mounted mode, in which the primary housing is on a back of the index finger. The device includes an accessory trigger on the mounting accessory and a primary trigger supported on the outer surface. In the top-mounted mode, the accessory trigger is between the index finger and the thumb, for activation by the thumb. In the side-mounted mode, the primary trigger is disposed on the side of the index finger for activation by the thumb of the operator.

  • Patent number: 10634913
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for task-based modification of visual media in a heads-up display. An example system includes a heads-up display assembly configured to be worn by a user, the heads-up display assembly including a head mount and a presentation generator configured to display visual media to the user. The example system further includes a memory, and a processor configured to interface with the presentation generator and the memory. The processor identifies a current task associated with the user, and obtains a focal distance at which the visual media is to be displayed to the user during the performance of the current task. The processor causes the presentation to display the visual media at the obtained focal distance during performance of the current task.

  • Patent number: 10303908
    Abstract: A mobile device with wrist neutral data capture is provided. The device comprises: a housing; a data capture component configured to change an aiming pattern; a display; an orientation sensor configured to detect an orientation; one or more touch sensors at the housing; a memory storing wrist neutral touch data associated with a wrist neutral grip corresponding to predetermined grip position locations at the touch sensor(s); and a controller configured to: when touch data received at the touch sensor(s) matches the wrist neutral touch data stored in the memory, control the aiming pattern of the data capture component according to the orientation detected by the orientation sensor; and when the touch data does not match the wrist neutral touch data, control a notification device to provide an indicator of the housing being out of the wrist neutral grip.
