Abstract
An encoded information reading (EIR) terminal can comprise a microprocessor, a memory, and an EIR device including a two-dimensional imager. The EIR device can be configured to output raw message data containing an encoded message and/or outputting a decoded message corresponding to an encoded message. The EIR terminal can be configured, responsive to acquiring an image containing decodable indicia, to pre-process the acquired image and transmit the pre-processed image to an external decoding computer for decoding the decodable indicia.
Claims7
An encoded information reading (EIR) terminal comprising:
- a microprocessor;
- a memory;
- an EIR device including a two-dimensional imager, said EIR device configured to perform one of:
- outputting raw message data containing an encoded message, outputting a decoded message corresponding to an encoded message;
- wherein said EIR terminal is configured, responsive to acquiring an image containing decodable indicia, to pre-process the image containing decidable indicia including:
- determining a quality of said image using one or more methods of determining image quality;
- and
- ascertaining that said quality of said image satisfies one of:
- a pre-determined condition, an adaptive condition;
- wherein, only if said image satisfies one of said pre-determined condition or said adaptive condition, said ER terminal is further configured to transmit said image to an external computer for decoding said decodable indicia.
