Abstract
A mobile bar code scanning device with a pinch-to-window feature includes an embedded camera and a user interface system having a visual display. The user interface system enables the user to access features of the mobile barcode scanning device with touch gestures. The mobile barcode scanning device also includes a barcode scanning application initialized by a user of the mobile barcode scanning device. The mobile barcode scanning device also includes an operating system communicatively coupled to the embedded camera, the barcode scanning application, and the user interface system. The visual display provides a viewfinder for the embedded camera in the barcode scanning application. The user-defined pinch-to-window feature is real-time adjustable in size, orientation, and position by at least a two-point touch gesture.
