Abstract
A method for multi-type barcode recognition is provided for recognizing a current barcode, so as to determine a barcode type of the current barcode among supported barcode types and the corresponding barcode information. In the method, a record table is loaded in advance for recording the matching frequency that each supported barcode type matches the barcode type of recognized barcodes. According to the matching frequency these supported barcode types are sorted in a recognizing sequence to be utilized to recognize the current barcode according to the recognizing sequence. Every time a current barcode is to be recognized, the supported barcode type utilized to recognize the current barcode is picked up according to the recognizing sequence, so as to determine the barcode type of the current barcode. The supported barcode type that most frequently matches the recognized barcode will be picked up at first, therefore, the barcode recognition efficiency is improved.
