A scanning device includes: a motion sensor to detect motion imparted to the scanning device; a distance detector to determine a distance between the scanning device and a surface; an infrared detector to capture a temperature of the surface; an image sensor to capture an image of an indicia encoding data on the surface; and a processor configured to store the captured image and temperature, configured to operate the motion sensor to detect motion being imparted to the scanning device when in a low power state, and configured to transition the scanning device out of the low power state in response to such imparted motion by: operating the distance detector to determine the distance to the surface; and determining whether to operate the infrared detector to capture the temperature of the surface and whether to operate the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia, based on the distance.

Portable device combining indicia scan and contactless temperature functions

A removable adapter device is integrated into a cradle for holding a handheld scanner. The adapter device enables the cradle to be removed and reattached or removed and replaced with another cradle without needing access to or changing cables that connect the cradle to a host system. The adapter device provides a standardize configuration, connection, or both to allow simplified replacement of different manufacturer cradles and scanners without concern about the cable connection to the host system. The adapter device acts as an interface for data and power transmission between the cradle and the host system.

Systems and methods for a machine-readable symbol reader that includes a scan engine, a finger mount, and a wrist mount. The scan engine couples to and moves with the finger mount, which is sized and dimensioned to accommodate at least a portion of one or more fingers. The wrist mount accommodates at least a portion of a wrist and releasably secures the wrist mount to the wrist. The wrist mount includes an electrical interface to a power source. A flexible substrate extends between the finger mount and the wrist mount, and may carry one or more electrically conductive paths that extend between the wrist mount and at least one of the finger mount and the scan engine to provide power from the power source to the scan engine. The finger mount may include a user input device to trigger the scan engine to scan within the field of view.

A reader includes a scanning head that comprises an optical sensor to capture an indicia that encodes data and a processor to interpret the indicia to decode the data, and an elongate handle connected at a first end to the scanning head and graspable to orient the optical sensor toward the indicia. A selected one of the scanning head and the elongate handle includes: a first receiving coil; a second receiving coil; a battery to provide electric power to the processor and the optical sensor; and a power receiving circuit coupled to the first and second receiving coils in series, and configured to operate the first and second receiving coils together to wirelessly receive electric power to charge the battery.

Coded image capture system of components and power provisioning therefor

Portable terminal

A reader includes a scanning head that includes an optical sensor to capture an indicia that encodes data and a processor to interpret the indicia to decode the data, and an elongate handle connected at a first end to the scanning head and graspable to orient the optical sensor toward the indicia. The elongate handle includes a first handle receiving coil disposed at a second end of the elongate handle opposite the first end, and oriented parallel to a first side of the elongate handle, a second handle receiving coil disposed at the second end, and oriented parallel to a second side of the elongate handle that is opposite the first side of the elongate handle, and a battery to provide electric power to the processor and the optical sensor, and configured to be recharged via the first and second handle receiving coils.

Coded image capture system of components

Systems, methods, and articles to provide a charging cradle or base station that includes one or more movable electrical contacts. Generally, each of the movable contacts protrudes through an opening in a surface of the cradle only when a cordless electrical device is positioned on or within the cradle. When the cordless electrical device is not positioned on or within the cradle, the one or more movable contacts are retracted inside the body of the cradle such that the movable contacts cannot be bumped or hit by the reader during insertion of the reader into the cradle and during removal of the reader from cradle. Systems, methods, and articles to provide a charging cradle or base station with selectively removable electrical contacts are also disclosed.

Coded information reader

An apparatus for presentation reading of optical information with removable reader includes an optical information reader and a cradle or stand having a seat for seating the reader facing a predetermined optical information reading zone. The reader has an illuminator and the stand has an illuminator. A processor is configured to control a capture of an image of at least one portion of the reading zone, to analyze the image and, based on the analysis, to drive the switching on of either of the illuminator of the reader and/or the illuminator of the stand. The stand includes an optical component at the illuminator of the reader and/or at an aimer of the reader when seated in the seat, to define an aiming pattern and/or to modify the features of the illuminating beam of the reader.

Optical code reader

An automatic optical reading apparatus () having a light emitting section (), a light receiving section () and an outside interface section (). A first unit () houses at least one of the emitting section () and the receiving section () and a second unit () houses at least the outside interface section (). The first unit () and the second unit () are mutually connectable in at least two different mutual orientations.
