Abstract
The present disclosure provides a relay application configured to send decoded barcode image data to an intermediary device as text via a TCP/IP connection. The relay application is executed by a processor of a mobile device that is in communication with the barcode sled reader. The barcode sled reader includes a barcode reader that generates image data of a barcode and a decoding processor that decodes the image data.
Claims13
A barcode reading system including:
- a relay application configured to be stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of a mobile device and executed by a processor of the mobile device;
- a barcode sled reader configured to connect to the mobile device, the barcode sled reader including:
- a barcode reader configured to generate image data of a barcode;
- a decoding processor configured to receive the image data from the barcode reader, decode the image data, and send the decoded image data to the relay application as executed by the processor of the mobile device;
- a tool application executed by a processor of an intermediary device and in communication with a legacy system, wherein:
- the relay application is configured to:
- receive the decoded image data from the barcode sled reader;
- and
- cause the processor of the mobile device to send the decoded image data via an internet protocol connection from the mobile device to the tool application of the legacy system;
- and
- the tool application is configured to receive the decoded image data from the relay application and provide the decoded image data to an application for transfer to a remote server.
A barcode reading system including a barcode sled reader configured to connect to a mobile device and a relay application configured to be stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of the mobile device and executed by a processor of the mobile device, wherein:
- the barcode sled reader includes:
- a barcode reader configured to generate image data of a barcode;
- and
- a decoding processor configured to receive the image data from the barcode reader, decode the image data, and send the decoded image data as text to the relay application as executed by the processor of the mobile device;
- the relay application is configured to:
- receive the text decoded image data from the barcode sled reader;
- and
- cause the processor of the mobile device to send the text decoded image data received from the barcode sled reader via an internet protocol connection from the mobile device to the intermediary device as text and without further processing by the mobile device.
A relay application configured to be stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of a mobile device and to be executed by a processor of the mobile device, the relay application additionally configured to:
- receive text decoded image data of a barcode from a barcode sled reader connected to the mobile device;
- and
- cause the text decoded image data received from the barcode sled reader to be sent via an internet protocol connection to the intermediary device as text without further processing by the mobile device.
