Abstract
Management of data communication between a peripheral device and host computer system is provided. A peripheral device exposes to a host computer system multiple interfaces for data communication between the peripheral device and the host computer system. The multiple interfaces are exposed over a single physical interface between the peripheral device and the host computer system, for communicating data between the peripheral device and multiple applications executing on the host computer system. The multiple interfaces can include a data collection interface facilitating collection of data from the peripheral device by an application of the multiple applications executing on the host computer system.
Claims15
A method for managing data communication between a peripheral device and a host computer system, the method comprising:
- exposing to the host computer system, by a processor of the peripheral device, multiple interfaces for data communication between the peripheral device and the host computer system, the multiple interfaces being exposed over a single physical interface between the peripheral device and the host computer system, the multiple interfaces for communicating data between the peripheral device and multiple applications executing on the host computer system, wherein the multiple interfaces comprise a data collection interface facilitating collection of data from the peripheral device by an application of the multiple applications executing on the host computer system;
- wherein the data collection interface collects barcode data for provision to the application of the multiple applications executing on the host computer system.
