Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH10507560
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An extended working range dataform reader with reduced power consumption having a camera assembly and a circuit control board including game control circuitry and exposure control circuitry configured to set an initial gain value and an initial exposure period, respectively, resulting from a previous dataform reading session. Subsequent fields of image data are captured by the camera which are used to correct the gain and exposure relative to the initial values for gain and exposure period, thereby reducing the latency period for realizing correct values and reducing power consumption during power up. Furthermore, the gain control system and the exposure control system each utilize an open loop feedback such that successive fields of image data captured by the camera are utilized to calculate correct values, thereby reducing the latency time for realizing a correct value. Additionally, a reader module is provide for use in a dataform reader that emulates a laser module such that the dataform reader module can be readily integrated into existing laser-based dataform reading systems. Preferably, laser model emulation circuitry included in the dataform reader module emulates output of a laser scan module and a control circuit board in which the emulation circuitry is realized has an output port constructed and arranged to communicate with devices configured for use with a laser scanner.
