  • Method of and arrangement for minimizing power consumption and data latency of an electro-optical reader in a wireless network
    Patent number: 7047051
    Abstract: Battery power consumption and data transfer latency of an electro-optical reader in a wireless network are minimized by turning a radio off in a default state, and by turning the radio on only after the reader has generated data to be transferred along the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 25, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2006
    Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: William Sackett, Adam Levine, Sean Connolly, Anthony Biuso, Stephen Shellhammer, Frank Boccuzzi, Kevin Cordes
  • Cordless identification security system and method
    Patent number: 6992564
    Abstract: A system and method described for tracking portable devices. The system may include a transmitter which transmits wireless inquiries to a plurality of portable devices and a receiver receiving replies to the inquiries from the portable devices. In addition, the system may include a memory storing identifier data corresponding to the portable devices and a processor coupled to the memory and to the receiver, the processor retrieving from each reply, identifier data uniquely identifying a particular one of the portable devices which generated the reply and comparing the identifier data to the stored identifier data. Furthermore, the system may include an alarm system coupled to the processor and controlled based on the comparison of stored identifier data to the identifier data retrieved from the replies.

  • Signaling arrangement for and method of signaling in a wireless local area network
    Patent number: 6764012
    Abstract: A signaling arrangement and method for use in a wireless local area network managed by a system manager include a reader for electro-optically reading bar code symbols. The system manager verifies that a symbol has been successfully read and sends an acknowledgment signal by wireless, radio frequency transmission to a remote indicator operative for generating an alert signal noticeable to a user.

  • Method and system for acquiring bar code encoded information
    Publication number: 20030042313
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring bar code encoded information wherein a bar code is read using a portable bar code reader to produce bar code data which has a wireless communications transceiver for transmitting the bar code data. The bar code data is transmitted to a second bar code reader which has a wireless communications transceiver for receiving bar code data and has an output circuit for communicating bar code data by a cable to a host computer. The bar code data and additional bar code data produced by the second bar code reader is communicated by the cable or by a secondary wireless connection to the host computer.
