A bar code reader initiated communications method in which a bar code reader having an internally stored user identification, reads a bar code symbol, processes the data from the bar code symbol and the user identification into a message, and automatically transmits the message over a wireless communication link connected to a network according to a predetermined message delivery profile. The message is received at a distribution node on a network, where the symbol data and the user identification information is processed to determine the message destination station, and delivery options, and an alert is transmitted to the destination station over a specified network, such as a radio frequency paging network.

Bar code data driven communications by mobile computer terminals operable in wireless networks

A bar code reader data communications method using radio paging networks, comprising: reading a bar code symbol with a bar code reader and storing the data in the reader; electrically coupling the bar code reader with a mobile communications transceiver; transferring the data from the bar code symbol reader to the transceiver and processing the data into a message; and transmitting the message over a wireless communication link to a base station.

Coupling of bar code data readers to mobile terminals operable in wireless networks

A compact optical code reader is disclosed having multiple functions and a unique shape and configuration of actuators and indicators. A system including the reader also includes a cradle, interface and host terminal, capable of performing various data processing functions involving scanned data. The system includes user and supplier identifiers which are employed to facilitate sales transactions and allocate use-based tolls.
