Abstract
A barcode reader includes: a reading unit that reads a barcode; a decoder that decodes the barcode read by the reading unit so as to obtain barcode information; a determination unit that determines whether the barcode information obtained by the decoder matches barcode information stored in a storage; and a changing unit that changes a reading condition of the reading unit or a decoding condition of the decoder when a result of the determination performed by the determination unit is “match”.
Claims12
A barcode reader comprising:
- a storage that stores a piece of barcode information as a comparison object that follows an order list that is based on a preset sequence, the comparison object being an object to be compared;
- a reading unit that reads a barcode;
- a decoder that decodes the barcode read by the reading unit so as to obtain barcode information;
- a determination unit that determines whether the barcode information obtained by the decoder matches the barcode information stored in the storage;
- and
- a changing unit that, when a result of the determination performed by the determination unit is “match”, changes the comparison object from the piece of barcode information to another piece of barcode information according to the preset sequence and changes a reading condition of the reading unit or a decoding condition of the decoder.
A barcode reading method of a barcode reader, the method comprising:
- storing, in a storage, a piece of barcode information as a comparison object that follows an order list that is based on a preset sequence, the comparison object being an object to be compared;
- reading a barcode;
- decoding the read barcode so as to obtain barcode information;
- determining whether the obtained barcode information matches the barcode information stored in the storage;
- and
- when a result of the determination is “match”, changing the comparison object from the piece of barcode information to another piece of barcode information according to the preset sequence and changing a reading condition of the reading or a decoding condition of the decoding.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer of a barcode reader to execute a process comprising:
- storing, in a storage, a piece of barcode information as a comparison object that follows an order list that is based on a preset sequence, the comparison object being an object to be compared;
- reading a barcode;
- decoding the read barcode so as to obtain barcode information;
- determining whether the obtained barcode information matches the barcode information stored in the storage;
- and
- when a result of the determination is “match”, changing the comparison object from the piece of barcode information to another piece of barcode information according to the preset sequence and changing a reading condition of the reading or a decoding condition of the decoding.
