Abstract
A virtual surface is used for a standby mode for a device scanning optical codes. A virtual surface is designating as a rendering target for a camera of a mobile device used to detect and decode optical codes. The camera is started, with the virtual surface designated as the rendering target for the camera. The camera is stopped, without terminating a program that uses the camera, wherein the camera is in a standby mode. The camera is restarted to render to the virtual surface, after stopping the camera. An optical code is detected in an image acquired by the camera, after restarting the camera from the standby mode.
