Abstract
A ruggedized triggering handle device for a mobile scanning system supports a mobile device (tablet, smartphone) attachable by a bracket on the upper surface of the handle. The handle may establish a wireless link to the mobile device; a trigger of the handle device includes a magnetic switch which, when driven proximate to a triggering element enclosed within the handle, causes the triggering element to transmit key codes and instructions via the wireless link, enabling the user to trigger applications and peripheral components (e.g., cameras, scanners, imagers) of or proximate to the mobile device via the handle. The handle may be contoured to the user's hand such that the trigger corresponds to the index finger; additional buttons corresponding to other fingers may allow for remote operation of other applications, functions, and peripherals of the mobile device by other fingers without the need for visual reference to the handle.
