  • Apparatus and methods for monitoring one or more portable data terminals
    Patent number: 10019334
    Abstract: A portable data terminal generally includes a housing supporting: a data collection device: a keypad: and a touch screen. One or more PDTs are provided with a monitoring system that records occurrences experienced by the portable data terminal. The record of occurrences may be analyzed to identify errors and/or failure prone parts of the PDT along with behaviors likely to lead to errors or failures. Additionally, the record of events may be analyzed to predict errors and/or failures for any given PDT.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and methods for controlling an imager
    Patent number: 7798408
    Abstract: A method of controlling an imager in a portable data collection device. A plurality of data structures are created with each containing a set of values for controlling an exposure process of an imager in a portable data collection device. One of the plurality of data structures is selected and the values therein are applied to the imager. Thereafter, a frame is captured by the imager and outputted.

  • Power management apparatus and methods for portable data terminals
    Patent number: 7577516
    Abstract: In accordance with at least one embodiment, a portable data terminal generally comprising a battery: a central controller, a GPS system, and an auxiliary processor. The central controller that has a sleep state wherein at least some of the functionality of the central controller is limited to conserve battery power. The auxiliary processor may be selected based, at least in part, on power draw. In particular, it is desirable for the auxiliary processor to use less power than the central controller when the central controller is fully activated. The auxiliary processor monitors the output of the GPS system and wakes the central controller from a sleep state based on the output of the GPS system.
