Abstract
A method in a computing device includes: capturing, via a sensor, an image of an indicium; determining a confidence level associated with machine recognition of the indicium; based on the confidence level, selecting a feedback attribute; prior to outputting content encoded in the indicium, generating, via an output device, a feedback signal having the feedback attribute, wherein the attribute is configured to indicate a likelihood of success of a decode event to decode the content encoded in the indicium.
Claims20
A method in a computing device, the method comprising:
- capturing, via a sensor, an image of an indicium;
- determining a confidence level associated with machine recognition of the indicium;
- based on the confidence level, selecting a feedback attribute;
- prior to outputting content encoded in the indicium, generating, via an output device, a feedback signal having the feedback attribute, wherein the attribute is configured to indicate a likelihood of success of a decode event to decode the content encoded in the indicium.
A computing device, comprising:
- a sensor;
- an output device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- capture, via the sensor, an image of an indicium;
- determine a confidence level associated with machine recognition of the indicium;
- based on the confidence level, select a feedback attribute;
- generate, via the output device, a feedback signal having the feedback attribute, wherein the attribute is configured to indicate a likelihood of success of a decode event to decode content encoded in the indicium.
A method in a computing device, the method comprising:
- controlling a light emitter to project an indicator light having a default visual attribute onto a surface carrying an indicium;
- capturing, via a sensor, an image of the indicium;
- determining a confidence level associated with machine recognition of the indicium;
- based on the confidence level, selecting a visual feedback attribute;
- controlling the light emitter to project an indicator light having the visual feedback attribute.
