Photographing apparatus, photographing system and photographing method

In the optical system of a code reader, its MTF best position on the subject side at a spatial frequency corresponding to a code pattern is set to be present at a given distance from the end surface of the code reader. The light receiving surface of a photosensor is set larger than the image of one block of the code pattern which is formed through the optical system.

Handheld code reader with optimal optical reading distance

A pen type code reader is provided with two pairs of substantially parallel anti-tilt ridges arranged on the respective opposite external sides of the front section of the code reader main body to be located along the scanning direction and projecting in the scanning direction. The code reader further includes a groove arranged on the front surface of the front section of the code reader main body and open at the opposite ends to the external sides in the scanning direction and having a width substantially equal to the width of the code pattern.

Pen type code reader

A code reader holder comprises an upper cover, a lower cover, a volume controller, an inner speaker, a electric element mounting portion, a substrate, a battery, and a terminal section. The electric element mounting portion decodes a code read by the code reader to convert the code into an electric audio signal, and outputs the electric audio signal as audio data from the inner speaker. The audio data is output at a suitable volume level adjusted by the volume controller. The code reader body contains therein an imaging section mainly comprising a lens and a light-receiving sensor as an imaging element, an illumination section for irradiating the code, and a transmission section for transmitting information obtained by the imaging element to the electric element mounting portion in the code reader holder.

Code reader for reproducing information recorded as code pattern

A code recording apparatus code images voice data, records and prints the voice data, and prints and records the image data or text data on a recording sheet. A recording time arithmetic section calculates the inputtable time of the voice data, and displays the inputtable time in a recording time display section.

Image reading apparatus for an electronic computer

A reading section optically reads a code from a recording medium having a portion on which multimedia information including at least one of audio information, video information, and digital code data is recorded as an optically readable code. A plurality of processing sections sequentially process the code read by the reading section and output the processed code as the original multimedia information. An operation switch designates the start of reading of the code. A control section causes one or a plurality of the plurality of processing sections to terminate a processing operation for a code which has been read by the time the operation switch is operated, and executes processing for data of the processed code in correspondence with another processing section on a subsequent stage, on the basis of the operation of the operation switch after the start of reading is designated by the operation switch.
