Abstract
A pen-sized barcode reader includes a shell, a button, and a control unit. The control unit is received in the shell, and is activated by the button. The control unit includes a barcode scanning module, a microcontroller, and a near field communication (NFC) unit. The barcode scanning module scans the barcodes of goods to obtain barcode information. The microcontroller decodes the barcode information. The NFC unit sends the barcode information decoded by the microcontroller to a local portable electronic device and the serial number plus other transit information such as current location and destination are transmitted to a central server by the local portable electronic device.
