Abstract
Approaches and devices for processing a machine-readable link in the event of a failed scan are described. In one example, the processing may alter an image attribute corresponding to each image within the set of images, process the set of images with the altered image attribute to ascertain presence of the machine-readable link; and obtain an operational indication, wherein the operational indication is to aid a user of a computing system for subsequently scanning another machine-readable link.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- an image capturing device including circuitry;
- and
- a link detection engine including circuitry coupled to the image capturing device, wherein the link detection engine is to:
- for a duration during which the image capturing device scans a surface area for a present machine-readable link, without user input, obtain a set of images of the scanned surface area;
- monitor whether a machine-readable link present on the scanned surface area is detected;
- on not detecting the present machine-readable link, transmit the obtained set of images to a remote repository of a linking service system for detecting and resolving the present machine-readable link;
- and
- in response to transmitting the set of images, receive operational indications from the linking service system to aid a user of the system for subsequently scanning the surface area for another machine-readable link.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a set of images from a computing system over a communication network, wherein the set of images is of a surface area with a machine-readable link not detected by the computing system;
- altering an image attribute corresponding to each image within the set of images;
- processing the set of images with the altered image attribute to ascertain presence of the machine-readable link;
- and
- on ascertaining the presence of the machine-readable link, generating an operational indication, wherein the operational indication is to aid a user of the computing system for subsequently scanning another machine-readable link.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- obtain a set of images from a computing system over a communication network, wherein the set of images is of a surface area with a machine-readable link not detected by the computing system;
- process the set of images to alter an image attribute corresponding to the set of images;
- and
- on determining the presence of the machine-readable link, generating installable operational instructions which when installed configure operating parameters of computing system.
