Remotely configurable location tracking tags are provided. A tag broadcasts a tag identifier according to configuration data stored at a memory. The tag receives new configuration data and an associated tag identifier. When the associated tag identifier matches the tag identifier: the tag updates the configuration data stored at the memory with the new configuration data and changes the broadcast of the tag identifier in accordance with the new configuration data. When the associated tag identifier does not match the tag identifier: the tag modifies the broadcast of the tag identifier to include the new configuration data and the associated tag identifier, the broadcast continuing to occur according to the configuration data.

An imaging reader is worn by a user. The reader has an imaging assembly that has a solid-state imager with an array of image sensors and a lens assembly. In a reading mode, the imaging assembly captures and projects light as an image onto the array. A controller detects a user's finger pointing at a symbol proximal to a tip of the finger in the image, and generates a control signal when the finger obstructs the symbol in the image. Upon receipt of the control signal, the controller automatically controls a drive to move the imager and/or a lens of the lens assembly to an adjusted position in which the symbol in the image is unobstructed by the finger. The unobstructed image of the symbol is processed into identifying data, and the data is transmitted away from the housing to a remote host device.
