The browser of being done.
In scan pattern, scanner is scanned into barcode data " breechblock " interface, so that be converted to keyboard data, the latter is imported the keyboard input port to PC certainly herein into.The breechblock interface is an interface box that comprises circuit, is used to hold the input variable from scanner and computer keyboard.Therefore send into breechblock so that be converted to keyboard data from the output variable of scanner.Because keyboard of breechblock emulation, PC does not need the independent input of scanner, and can scanner data directly be sent into the keyboard port of PC by breechblock.When receiver-scanner data not, breechblock is only as the device that passes through of keyboard data.Information is presented to the beholder by display the most at last.
Be in operation, the sign indicating number of specific products occurs with bar code form.This bar code is to product " connection ".Disclosed embodiment can be used for bar code as online routing iinformation, thereby being connected between this product and this goods producer's webpage is provided, and also provides financial formality simultaneously, as below describing in detail.Bar code itself is with regard to regard to the network service purpose, not with the Web-compatible of any kind.It is mainly used in retail trade.Therefore the information that comprised of bar code itself only is used to identify product, and a database should be arranged certainly, and the information that it comprises is the relevant information of product and bar code.
Information in the bar code is at first sent into the breechblock interface, and the latter can be used for the bar code of decoding, and then middle routing iinformation " is added " on bar code.Routing iinformation is to be used for determining bar code information is delivered to online information where in the middle of this.It delivers to network by network interface.
When the information with middle routing iinformation and definite online ARS position makes up with concrete bar code form, importantly the information in the bar code must be converted to the digital value that inputs in the keyboard from light image, be converted to html language then.Its reason is that it must be converted to the browser-safe form so that and browser interface.Certainly, as use another kind of program, then it should be converted to the language with this program compatibility.
The breechblock interface is in case with after the bar code information decoding and adding middle routing iinformation thereon, and soon bar code/middle routing iinformation consists of keyboard data, delivers to PC then.This reason is that interface just makes a scanner, and institute's scanning information and institute add the centre routing iinformation and look it is keyboard operation to PC, thereby user of emulation mainly imports identical information on keyboard.Therefore the combination of interface and pen allows the user by using the coded message in the bar code data " key " to be gone into PC.Certainly, in fact the user also can key in the information in the bar code and subsequently suitable relative middle routing iinformation be added up.As below describing, attached middle routing iinformation thereon is the URL of online destination server.
Keyboard and the interface of pen by microprocessor controls with PC.Microcontroller has the memory that is positioned at it, or it also can have external memory storage.A plurality of interfaces to pen are arranged, a plurality of interface and a plurality of interfaces to keyboard to PC.Generally speaking, pen needs a serial data line, a ground wire and a power line.Similarly, keyboard needs a serial data line, a ground wire, a clock lines and a power line.PC provides a clock lines that inputs to microcontroller, a power line, a serial data line and a ground wire.Microcontroller can be used for from the keyboard received signal and this signal is reached PC as keyboard signal.The operation of keyboard mainly be " by " process.Data output from keyboard has keyboard format already, therefore need not carry out conversion by the breechblock interface.As for pen, its serial data not with the keyboard compatibility, so it must be converted to keyboard format so that allow it to input to the keyboard input of PC.Decode this bar code information and this bar code information is converted to the suitable data stream that comprises bar code information and appended URL of microcontroller, thus this function finished.This additional URL deposits in the memory in advance and can programme during fabrication.Notice that memory is interpreted as being contained in the microcontroller so that single chip solution to be provided.Certain this can be can be by the external memory storage of microcontroller visit.Therefore, microcontroller provide between pen and keyboard and the PC interface with allow a Receiving coded information and with it be converted to have additional in the middle of the operation of stroking of routing iinformation, perhaps just allow to choosing generation the key operation from keyboard pass through.Therefore, the user needn't insert the circuit board of any kind so that the interface to pen to be provided on computer motherboard; On the contrary, the user only need utilize available for a long time keyboard port with in the suitable data input system.
In this concrete disclosed embodiment, microcontroller comprises one by MicrochipTechnologies
TMThe PIC16C73 microcontroller of being done.This PIC16C73 equipment is cheap CMOS 8 8-digit microcontrollers that have integrated analog to digital converter.PIC16C73 equipment has the RAM of 192 bytes and the eprom memory of 4K * 4 as explaining in the disclosed embodiment.Microcontroller can hold from the asynchronous or synchronous input of the input equipment of its binding.In the embodiment disclosed herein, be synchronous, and be asynchronous with communicating by letter of pen with communicating by letter of keyboard.
Though it should be noted that in this specific embodiment bar code information is the keyboard input that inputs to PC, disclosed method also can advantageously be used the high-speed port architecture, for example USB (" USB ") and IEEE 1394.
Bar code constitutes and can read in both direction.Should consider timing problems, because of the different individuals of scanning barcode can the different large-scale scan rate of introducing.Bar code is used the bar of different in width.Secret note generates a positive pulse, and does not have the i.e. not production burst of secret note.The character of each conventional bar code has relative seven pulses or bar.Be decided by that bar is wide, the interpulse time is different.In the embodiment disclosed herein, according to the rising edge of the pulse that is begun by guiding or head end information, the " RUN " that interface circuit is finished sweep time calculates.Software calculates minimum together with interface and the maximum scan time is successfully scanned to guarantee the user continuously in scanning process.
For example, a PC who is similar to PC is arranged as network source, it is connected to the network interface that is similar to interface, and the latter is connected to global communication network again.In this embodiment, the data by pen scanning add that additional middle routing iinformation is received by PC as the operation of stroking of emulation.This information command PC obtains information from advertisement with reference to server (" ARS ") by path " A ".ARS is positioned at the online network equipment, is defined as the position that should deliver to from the scan-data of bar code.This is determined by the routing iinformation that is programmed into interface.Identical therewith, scanning information is delivered to ARS all the time, because of URL is only one in system.What be connected to ARS is the database of a product code and relevant manufacturer.Database stands a continuous renewal process to user transparent.After system disclosed herein was participated in company signature, promptly after its reservation, manufacturer and product information promptly added in the database and operation that often renewal can interrupt source PC.
Referring now to Fig. 4 a, comprise that by the message bag that path " A " delivers to ARS several territories, a territory comprise the URL of ARS from source PC.Other territory comprises from bar code acquisition advertised product sign indicating number or out of Memory and specifies the required any additional extraneous information of item.Another territory comprises the network address of source PC.Say that generally realize that with packets of information network transmits, each bag provides a destination address, source address and data.These bags are different and different with the network transportation protocol with signal post.Though used agreement is the conventional agreement that is commonly referred to TCP/IP in the disclosed embodiment, should understand available any agreement that similar basic function is provided, basic demand is that browser can respond to inputing to stroking of PC, and bar code information is delivered to required URL." message bag " means destination URL from now on, and the combination of bar code information and source address is sometimes for realizing this transmission even must transmitting a more than bag.
Behind the message bag 400 that receives from PC, ARS is according to the instruction process information that is embedded in the extraneous information.ARS specifically extracts bar code information in the bag 400 that receives, and this bar code information of decoding immediately after extraction.In case decoding, this information are promptly compared with the data that comprise in the ARS advertising database, whether to judge hit.As there is no the hit of tag match, then information is retracted into browser to indicate this thing.If any hit, then assemble a bag 402, it comprises address and the information of source PC, the latter indicates source PC how directly to visit another position on the net in " hand is passed hand " operation, i.e. the position of Advertisement Server.This class formation is to for example
With Microsoft Internet
Browser say it is relatively conventional, and the addressable then Advertisement Server of source PC rather than show information from ARS.ARS will wrap 402 by path " B " and send source PC back to.Referring now to Fig. 4 B, message bag 402 comprises the address of source PC, is embedded in the URL of the Advertisement Server in the command code and the URL of ARS.
After source PC received message bag 402, message bag 402 was promptly unpacked and is used to assemble the required appropriate routing iinformation of new information bag 404 to obtain.The web browser that source PC goes up operation is gone to obtain product information by path " C " according to the concrete Advertisement Server positional information that is embedded in the message bag 404 by instruction.Referring now to Fig. 4 c, the message bag 404 of this item comprises the URL of Advertisement Server, the address of " request product information " data and source PC.
After receiving the message bag 404 from source PC, Advertisement Server unpacks message bag 404 to obtain " request product information " data.Advertisement Server is retrieval specific product information in its database then, and by path " D " it is transmitted back to source PC.Referring now to Fig. 4 d, the message bag 406 of these details comprises the address of source PC, the URL of institute's information requested and Advertisement Server.
Alternatively, ARS can pass through path " E " directly to Advertisement Server request product information.In this pattern, ARS sends information to Advertisement Server, instructs it and source PC to link.Be not conventional yet do like this, it needs more complicated software control.The required message bag 408 of this item is shown among Fig. 4 e, and it comprises the URL of Advertisement Server, the address of " request product information " data and source PC.Because product information is not to return ARS but directly deliver to source PC, it is the address of source PC that message bag 408 requires the return address.By path " D " product information is directly delivered to PC then.
The following describes and be used to assemble the process that reaches the message bag 400 of ARS from source PC.When this process begins, scanning input UPC bar code.Wand interpretive code bar also reaches the breechblock interface by connected in series with signal, and the software that wherein is stored in the firmware is decoded barcode data.Decoded data is stored in the word register, with easy operating.Next, the word register data promptly are converted to the data and storing away of stroking.Product information deposits in the memory on the breechblock interface herein.Information transmits to insert in the Web browser serially by keyboard port.A Ctrl-O order is added on the data of stroking.Hyper text protocol section head is remembered http: // add on the data of stroking.Next, the URL of ARS is added on the data of stroking, with character/? add on the data of stroking, the UPC code data is added on the data of stroking.To add to the carriage return character then on the data of stroking to transmit data to ARS by path " A ".
It should be noted that this embodiment is not limited to UPC bar code standard, also can comprise other bar code standard.For example, as using sign indicating number 128 standards, then available optional step is to handle the system that uses this special code or many bar codes standard.Can be in many code plans function of use piece 522 to determine used concrete bar code standard.Functional block 524 makes software can handle used concrete standard.
Referring now to Fig. 6, the process that the flow chart explaination may be experienced when source PC receives message bag 400 as ARS.ARS checks the reception of message bag 400 in decision block 600.As do not receive message bag 400, then program continues to wait for the arrival of news along the "No" path movement.As receive message bag 400, then program continues processing messages along the "Yes" path.After receiving message bag 400, ARS extraction character in functional block 602/? with comprise the back of UPC sign indicating number with scope of a variable.Extracting the UPC sign indicating number in the functional block 604 independently prepares against product code and suitable Advertisement Server matching addresses.In the functional block 606, UPC sign indicating number and question blank one are used from the Advertisement Server URL of the corresponding product information that comprises in the retrieval UPC sign indicating number.In the functional block 608, ARS promptly assembles message bag 402 so that be transmitted back to source PC.Functional block 610 indicates the process of message bag 402 being sent back to source PC by path " B ".
Referring now to Fig. 7, the reciprocal process between flow chart explaination source PC and the Advertisement Server.In the functional block 700, source PC is received from the message bag 402 that ARS sends back to and begins decoding bag 402.Extracting the URL and the storage of advertised product information in the functional block 702 in message bag 402 delivers in the message bag 404 of Advertisement Server so that insert.Assemble message bag 404 in the functional block 704, and deliver to Advertisement Server by path " C " by source PC.When source PC functional block 706 medium biding one's time, Advertisement Server receives message bag 404 and unpacks from source PC in the functional block 708.In message bag 404, extract the product information position in the functional block 710.Retrieval specific product information is for returning to source PC in server database.In the functional block 712 product information is assembled into message bag 406, and returns to source PC by path " D ".Be back to source PC in the functional block 714, the advertised product that the message bag 406 that extraction and processing receive in Advertisement Server in the functional block 716 is comprised passes breath.
