A data reading system for predicting the removal of a data reader from a charging base unit based on the approach of a user's hand. The data reading system includes a data reader with a power supply, a base unit configured to receive the data reader and to charge the power supply of the data reader responsive to the data reader being coupled to the base unit, a sensor configured to detect the approach of a user's hand, and a processor in operable communication with the sensor and the data reader or the base unit. The processor is configured to apply an appropriate action, such as adjust an amount of current used to charge the power supply of the data reader in the base unit responsive to the sensor detecting the approach of the user's hand.

Removal prediction of a data reader from a charging base unit

A handheld code reader may include a main structure, a handle extending from the main structure, and a trigger configured to be pulled by a finger of a user holding the handle. The code reader may further include a conductive element, an antenna configured to sense an inductive change caused by the trigger moving the conductive element, and electronics in electrical communication with the antenna, the electronics configured to determine when the inductive change is indicative of a user selecting to activate a pre-trigger aiming function.

Inductive aiming trigger

A scanner that includes a pressure-sensitive component and a haptic feedback component. The pressure-sensitive component can active a function of the scanner. The scanner may include a biometric-sensitive component which may activate additional or similar functions of the scanner. When a function is activated, a plurality of haptic feedbacks may be presented by the haptic feedback component. A method of manufacturing the scanner is also provided.
