Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a barcode-reading system that includes a mobile device accessory attached to a mobile device. The mobile device accessory includes a button assembly having an outer button and dielectric material. When an input object (e.g., a finger) comes into contact with the button assembly, the dielectric material comes into contact with a touch interface (e.g., a button or touchscreen) and causes the mobile device to detect a touch input. In particular, the dielectric material of the button assembly may activate a capacitive property of a button or touchscreen to enable the mobile device to detect the touch input.
