Abstract
A processor is electrically connected to a scanner, an electronic memory electrically, and a user interface (having a display screen). The display screen displays dimension input fields that identify dimensions of an item to be scanned using the scanner. The display screen also displays an option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions for the item to be scanned, and an option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions for the item to be scanned. The processor saves values of the dimension input fields in the electronic memory, upon the dimensions of an item to be scanned being identified by the user through the dimension input fields.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a scanner;
- a processor electrically connected to said scanner;
- an electronic memory electrically connected to said processor;
- and
- a user interface electrically connected to said processor,
- said user interface comprising a display screen,
- said display screen displaying dimension input fields that identify dimensions of an item to be scanned using said scanner,
- said display screen displaying an option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned,
- said display screen displaying an option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned,
- said option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions being in addition to, and separate from, said option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions on said display screen, and
- said processor saving values of said dimension input fields in said electronic memory.
A method comprising:
- displaying, on a display screen of a user interface, dimension input fields that identify dimensions of an item to be scanned, as directed by a processor, using a scanner that is electrically connected to said user interface through said processor;
- displaying, on said display screen, an option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned;
- displaying, on said display screen, an option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned, said option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions being in addition to, and separate from, said option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions on said display screen;
- and
- saving values of said dimension input fields in electronic memory that is electrically connected to said processor.
A processor electrically connected to a scanner, an electronic memory, and a user interface comprising a display screen, said processor:
- causing said display screen to display dimension input fields that identify dimensions of an item to be scanned using a scanner that is electrically connected to said user interface through a processor;
- causing said display screen to display an option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned;
- causing said display screen to display an option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions for said item to be scanned, said option to reuse the most recently used input dimensions being in addition to, and separate from, said option to select from a list of recently used input dimensions on said display screen;
- and
- saving values of said dimension input fields in said electronic memory.
