Abstract
A method includes receiving, at an electronic device, scanned barcode data from a barcode scanner communicatively coupled to the electronic device. The method also includes converting, by the electronic device, the scanned barcode data to a character string. The method also includes formatting, by the electronic device while executing a wedge application, the character string into formatted data compatible with an enterprise application. The method also includes providing, by the electronic device, the formatted data as an input to the enterprise application.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at an electronic device, scanned barcode data from a barcode scanner communicatively coupled to the electronic device;
- converting, by the electronic device, the scanned barcode data to a character string;
- formatting, by the electronic device while executing a wedge application, the character string into formatted data compatible with an enterprise application, wherein the character string is formatted based on at least one specified data formatting rule used by the wedge application, wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule is configurable by an end user of the electronic device to indicate how the formatting is performed, and wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule specifies appending at least one of a prefix to a beginning of the formatted data or a suffix to an end of the formatted data;
- and
- providing, by the electronic device, the formatted data as an input to the enterprise application.
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured when executing the instructions to:
- receive scanned barcode data from a barcode scanner communicatively coupled to the electronic device;
- convert the scanned barcode data to a character string;
- format, while executing a wedge application, the character string into formatted data compatible with an enterprise application;
- and
- provide the formatted data as an input to the enterprise application;
- wherein, to format the character string into the formatted data, the at least one processor is configured to format the character string based on at least one specified data formatting rule used by the wedge application, wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule is configurable by an end user of the electronic device to indicate how the formatting is performed, and wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule specifies appending at least one of a prefix to a beginning of the formatted data or a suffix to an end of the formatted data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer readable program code that, when executed, causes at least one processor of an electronic device to:
- receive scanned barcode data from a barcode scanner communicatively coupled to the electronic device;
- convert the scanned barcode data to a character string;
- format, while executing a wedge application, the character string into formatted data compatible with an enterprise application;
- and
- provide the formatted data as an input to the enterprise application;
- wherein the computer readable program code that when executed causes the at least one processor to format the character string into the formatted data comprises:
- computer readable program code that when executed causes the at least one processor to format the character string based on at least one specified data formatting rule used by the wedge application, wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule is configurable by an end user of the electronic device to indicate how the formatting is performed, and wherein the at least one specified data formatting rule specifies appending at least one of a prefix to a beginning of the formatted data or a suffix to an end of the formatted data.
