Abstract
A wireless product code reader comprises a scanner for scanning product codes; processing electronics for providing a raw signal proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning the product code; a wireless interface for providing said raw signals to a receiving unit; and a mounting unit for mounting said barcode reader on the body of a user for hands free use. The scanner may be an optical scanner for scanning barcodes.
Claims24
A wireless reader for labels comprising:
- a scanner for scanning said labels for codes;
- processing electronics for providing a raw signal proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning the product code;
- a wireless interface for providing said raw signals being proportional to said signal intensities to a central receiving unit, said central receiving unit being associated with multiple users or multiple devices;
- and
- a mounting unit for mounting said wireless reader on a user to permit hands-free use by said user, thereby to provide wireless transmission of raw signals proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning a product code from a user to said central receiving unit.

A method of scanning codes on labels comprising:
- providing to a user a barcode reader for mounting on the back of a hand, the reader comprising a scanner;
- detecting at said scanner, a variation in intensities as said scanner is scanned over a barcode;
- transmitting said intensities detected during scanning wirelessly to a central receiving unit associated with multiple users or multiple devices, thereby to provide wireless transmission of raw signals proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning a product code from a user to said central receiving unit.
A system for barcode reading comprising:
- a) a wireless barcode reader, the reader comprising:
- a scanner for scanning product codes;
- processing electronics for providing a raw signal proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning the barcode;
- a wireless interface for providing said raw signals to a receiving unit;
- and
- a mounting unit for mounting said barcode reader on a back of a hand;
- and
- b) a central receiving unit associated with a plurality of users or a plurality of devices, and configured for translating said raw signal into recognized characters and products, thereby to provide wireless transmission of raw signals proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning a product code from a user to said central receiving unit.

A wireless handheld product code reader comprising:
- a scanner for scanning codes;
- processing electronics for providing a raw signal proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning the code;
- and
- an interface for providing said raw signals to an external receiving unit associated with multiple users or multiple devices, thereby to provide wireless transmission of raw signals proportional to signal intensities detected while scanning a product code from said reader to said central receiving unit.
