  • Method and apparatus for using a limited capacity portable data carrier
    Patent number: 9317792
    Abstract: A method for reading and using partial data from a portable data carrier includes reading data from a portable data carrier, determining if any data is missing, and if any data is missing, restructuring the data for use, such as for running an audio decoder and expander. A method for writing data to a portable data carrier having limited capacity includes receiving a data file and optimizing at least one encoding parameter to fit at least a portion of the data file into the portable data carrier.

  • Method and apparatus for reading a printed indicia with a limited field of view sensor
    Publication number: 20080245869
    Abstract: A 2D matrix symbol may be formed by dividing data into a plurality of segments, separately encoding the plurality of segments as corresponding arrays of cells, and arranging the arrays of cells in an abutting relationship. A segmented 2D symbol may be read by capturing a plurality of images of a 2D matrix bar code symbol that is not subtended by any of the images and reconstructing at least some of the plurality of images to a portion of the 2D symbol or 2D symbol data larger than any of the images.
