Selection of on optical pattern in a scene is identified by overlaying, on a display, an indicator of a detected optical pattern identifying a location of the optical pattern in one or more images, receiving a user input on the display at a position that does not overlap the location of the optical pattern, and presenting information related to the optical pattern, based on receiving the user input, even though the position of user input did not overlap the location of the optical pattern. The user input can be received at a detached selection indicator and/or using an adaptive input area.

Adaptive selection area for image-based decoding of optical patterns

Selection and decoding of an optical pattern in a real scene from a frozen image of a video preview includes presenting a plurality of images on a display. A plurality of optical patterns are in the plurality of images. The display is frozen by one image, a frozen image, on the display. An optical pattern is identified by a user selecting the optical pattern in the frozen image. The optical pattern is decoded.

Selection and decoding of an optical pattern within a real scene using a frozen image from a video preview

Described herein are embodiments of a mobile device case that allows a mobile device camera to view and/or capture images from multiple fields of view. The case may allow the mobile device camera to simultaneously capture image information from multiple different directions relative to the camera or mobile device. The fields of view may not be contiguous fields of view, such that there is a gap or other discontinuity between the fields of view. One field of view may be a field visible from or facing a surface of the mobile device on which the camera is disposed (e.g., the back of the mobile device) and another field of view may be one visible from or facing a different surface of the mobile device. Also described are embodiments of techniques for configuring a mobile device to capture and/or process images from multiple fields of view.
