Abstract
A hand held matrix code scanner includes an orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device (OTCCD), a controller coupled to the OTCCD, and a sensor coupled to the controller. The sensor senses movement of the scanner The controller is configured to move a first location of the OTCCD array to a second location as a function of data from the sensor to compensate for the device motion during image exposure.
Claims17
A hand held matrix code scanner comprising:
- an orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device (OTCCD) including an array of pixels;
- a controller coupled to the OTCCD;
- a first sensor, coupled to the controller, for sensing movement of the scanner in a first direction;
- and
- a second sensor, coupled to the controller, for sensing movement of the scanner in a second direction;
- wherein the controller is configured to move a first location of the OTCCD array to a second location as a function of data from one or more of the first sensor and the second sensor;
- and
- wherein the controller executes one or more of closed loop control of the movement of OTCCD array and open loop control of the movement of the OTCCD array.

A hand held matrix code scanner comprising:
- an orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device (OTCCD) including an array;
- a controller coupled to the OTCCD;
- a trigger coupled to the controller;
- and
- one or more sensors, coupled to the controller, for sensing movement of the scanner;
- wherein the controller is configured to move a first location of the OTCCD array to a second location as a function of data from the sensor;
- and
- wherein the controller is configured to receive an indication when the trigger is pressed, and to record an initial position of the OTCCD array when the trigger is pressed;
- and wherein the controller is configured to receive data from the sensor on a periodic basis, to calculate a change in the initial position of the OTCCD array as a function of the data received on a periodic basis, and to determine a later position of the OTCCD array as a function of the data received on a periodic basis.
