Patent number: 11868842Abstract: A method, system and barcode reader for transmitting barcode scan information from a barcode reader to an external imaging system including one or more image capturing devices when the barcode reader is within a field of view of the external imaging system. Responsive to successfully decoding an indicia, the barcode reader transmits, to the external imaging system via an optical signal assembly, a first optical signal based at least in part on the indicia. Responsive to detecting an object within a product scanning region of the barcode reader and no successful decode of an indicia, the barcode reader transmits, to the external imaging system via the optical signal assembly, a second optical signal indicating the object being passed within the product scanning region with no successful decode.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventor: Thomas Conticello

Publication number: 20210272318Abstract: Methods and systems for performing contextual configuration of an imaging scanner are disclosed. An example method includes an imaging scanner capturing an image of an object and providing the image to a trained neural network for classification. Configuration settings corresponding to the particular classification are determined, where those configuration settings are for operating the imaging scanner and are contextual to the object being scanned. The imaging scanner is configured based on the configuration settings, and the object is re-scanned under optimal configuration, for improved barcode reading or defect detection for machine vision systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2020Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventor: Thomas Conticello

Patent number: 7492127Abstract: Described is a method which includes a step of initiating a calibration state of a battery status system. The calibration state including charging a battery to a first threshold value; discharging the battery to a second threshold value; and calibrating the battery status system based on the first and second threshold values. Subsequently, the method includes a step of exiting the calibration state. Described is also a portable computing device which includes invades a battery; a controller; and an application executed on the controller for performing calibration of a battery status system of the battery. The application drives the battery to a threshold state and performs the calibration when the battery reaches the threshold state.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2005Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy B.

Patent number: 5831639Abstract: A remote control program (230) includes a scanning display driver (232) that interacts with the graphics display driver (112) of a host computer (110) to provide to the display (122) of the remote computer (120) an image (117) generated on the display (116) of the host computer (110). The scanning display driver (232) employs device independent function calls to the GDI (112) of the host computer (110) to eliminate any hardware dependent artifacts from the remote computer display (122). A scanning module (234) in the scanning display driver (112) retrieves bit map segments (119) of the image (117) on the host display (116), calculates a checksum value for comparison with a stored checksum value (542), updates the stored value (542) when the bit map segment (119) has been changed, and sets a flag (544) to indicate a new checksum value has been stored.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1995Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventor: Thomas Conticello
