Abstract

A software application that is installed in a commercially available processor, which application; identifies a keystroke data stream as derived from a code pattern, stores the pattern in system memory, validates the data stream, extracts user identified fields, adds prefixes and suffixes to the fields, and transmits identified fields to the processor operating system as a keystroke emulating data stream. The DOD UID code, and other similar codes, specifies a lead character or characters as a code identifier. When the application of this invention detects this code identifying lead character it directs the processor operating system to store the character and subsequent characters in the system memory rather than process them as entries from a keyboard. The application sets a timer as each character is received. As long as the timer does not time out, each successive character in the stream is treated as part of the code data until a code specified end of data character is detected.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A method for processing UID data encoded in a pattern, including the steps of:

scanning the pattern with wedge type scanner that generates a stream of UID keystroke data characters in response to the UDI data encoded in the pattern;
coupling the stream of UID keystroke data characters to an input port of a computer processor that includes a processor operating system;
blocking the stream of UID keystroke data characters coupled to the processor port from the processor operating system;
storing the stream of UID keystroke data characters coupled to the processor port in a buffer;
coupling the stream of UID keystroke data characters stored in said buffer as an input to a UID element builder routine that determines the validity of the stream as a UID code;
deriving a code stream of an element in the stream of UID keystroke data characters;
adding a string of characters pre-selected by a user within the element code stream;
coupling the code stream resulting from the just previous adding step to the operating system in a manner emulating a keyboard entry.
