Description

使用用户应用来配置用户扫描仪
技术领域
本发明涉及配置标记读取设备，且更特别涉及一种通过使用用户应用来配置的标记读取器。
背景技术
标记读取设备(还称为扫描仪、激光扫描仪、图像读取器、标记读取器等)典型地读取由印刷或显示的信息承载标记(IBI)表示的数据，(还称为符号、符号体系、条形码等)。例如一类符号是以特定方式布置以表示机器可读形式的数据元素的空格和矩形条的阵列。标记读取设备通常发射光到符号上并接收从条形码符号或标记散射和/或反射回来的光。被接收的光由处理器解释，该处理器执行信号和/或图像处理来提取符号所表示的数据。光学标记读取设备典型地利用可见的或红外光。激光标记读取设备典型地利用发射的激光。
一维(1D)标记读取器的特征在于读取在条和空格的宽度上沿着单轴编码的数据，从而使得这样的符号可以从沿着那个轴的单独扫描读取，假定沿着那个轴以非常高的分辨率对该符号进行采样的话。
为了允许较大数量的数据编码在单个条形码符号中，许多1D堆叠条形码符号体系已经被开发，其将编码数据分割为多行，每一个包括各自的1D条形码图案，一些或所有的必须被扫描和解码，然后链接在一起形成完整的消息。扫描仍需要仅在一个维度上相对高的分辨率，但是需要在第二维度上的不同位置处的多线性扫描来读取整个符号。
已经开发了被称为是二维(2D)矩阵符号体系的一类条形码符号体系，其需要基于图像的读取并提供比1D符号体系更大的数据密度和容量。2D矩阵码，伴随图形探测器、定位和参考结构，将数据编码为规则的多边形矩阵中的暗或亮数据元素。
很多时候标记读取器可以是可携带的并且实质上是无线的，因此提供附加的灵活性。在这些情况中，这样的读取器形成无线网络的部分，其中被收集到终端中的数据经由无线链路被通信到位于硬接线骨干网上的主机计算机。例如，读取器可以包括用于与远程计算机通信的无线电设备或收发器。
关于这种系统的努力已经引起了持续开发来改善它们的多用性、实用性和有效性。
发明内容
本发明一方面涉及一种操作适配为读取信息承载标记(IBI)的标记读取器的方法，包括：
将该标记读取器置于设定模式以使得该标记读取器能读取N类用户使用IBI；

根据当该标记读取器处于设定模式时读取的该至少一个IBI，配置该标记读取器；
将该标记读取器置于使用模式，并且
读取当该标记处于设定模式时读取的该类的用户使用IBI。
本发明另一方面涉及一种适配用于扫描和解码被编码在多个类型的信息承载标记中的一个中的数据的标记读取器，包括：
扫描引擎，用于扫描和存储IBI数据；
存储器，用于存储：
解码程序，用于产生被解码的IBI数据；
参数表，用于存储规定该标记读取器的操作模式的配置设置；以及，
处理器，用于：
响应于设定命令来执行设定程序以允许用户通过向该标记读取器呈现至少一个用户使用IBI来设置配置设置，并且
执行用于控制该扫描引擎的用户程序以及执行该解码程序。
本发明又一方面涉及一种适配用于扫描和解码被编码在多个类型的信息承载标记的一个中的数据的标记读取器，具有通过扫描不是配置条形码的条形码来配置与该读取器的操作相关的设置的能力。
附图说明
图1是示例性标记读取器系统的框图。
图2是示例性标记读取器的简化示意框图。
图3是用于操作标记读取器的示例性流程图。
具体实施方式
现在将要参考附图中举例说明的示例性实施例。其他实施例可以具有各种形式并且示例性实施例不应被解释为限制为这里提出的实施例。相反，这些代表性实施例被详细描述以便该公开将是透彻及完整的，并且将向本领域技术人员充分表达该范围、结构、操作、功能，以及潜在的适用性。在可能的情况下，相同的参考编号在整个附图中将被用于指代相同或相似的部件。这里用到的术语“扫描”或“扫描中”指的是从信息承载标记(或符号)读取或提取数据。这里用到的术语成像指的是取得或生成电子图像。
示例性方法可以设想为一种导致希望结果的一系列步骤或动作并且可以作为软件实施。虽然可以证明就像由单个程序体现的那样讨论这样的软件是方便的，但是绝大部分实施方式将所描述的功能分配在分立的(并且一些不是如此分立)的软件片段中。这些片段通常利用诸如“程序”、“对象”、“函数”、“子程序”、“库”、“.dll”、“API”以及“进程”的术语来描述。虽然一个或多个这些术语在当前描述中可能是有利地，但并不意图限制本发明为被描述的配置。
通常，当前方法中的该系列步骤需要对物理量的物理操纵。这些量采用了能够被存储、传输、组合、比较或者以其他方式操纵的光、电或磁信号的形式。本领域的普通技术人员方便地把这些信号称为“位”、“值”、“元素”、“符号”、“特征”、“图像”、“项”、“数字”等。应该认识到的是这些及相似的术语被用来关联适当的物理量并仅仅是应用于这些量的便签。
关于这里描述的软件，本领域普通技术人员将认识到的是存在各种平台和语言用于生成执行这里概述的方法的软件。本领域普通技术人员同样认识到选择准确的平台和语言一般是由构建的实际系统的详情来规定，使得可以适用一种类型的系统的软件在另一个系统上是可能是无效的。同样应当理解的是这里描述的方法不限于作为软件在计算机或DSP(数字信号处理器)上执行，而是还可以在硬件处理器中实施。例如，该方法可以结合HDL(硬件设计语言)在ASIC中实施。
图1举例说明了示例性扫描系统，其中多个标记读取器112在信息承载标记(IBI)存在的位置上操作和使用。该标记读取器可以是固定的或手持的，并且可以是或者利用了传输的激光的激光标记读取设备(或激光扫描仪)或是利用了用于从IBI提取数据的图像获取设备的光学标记读取设备。
操作员将手持标记读取器112瞄准包含IBI、数据记录表、文本或其他将被收集的数据的目标，并且启动在该标记读取器上的按钮或触发器115来控制该读取器的整个或部分操作，例如激活IBI的扫描。IBI或数据记录表可以是同样为机器可读的原始机器生成的符号，例如1-D条形码，2-D条形码，1-D堆叠条形码，徽标，雕文，色码等。
示例性的标记读取器112可以是移动设备，例如手持扫描器、便携式数据终端(PDT)、个人数字助理(PDA)、移动电话等。便携式数据终端即PDT典型地是用于经由无线传输(WLAN或WWAN)输入或检索数据的电子设备，并且还可以用作用于商店、仓库、医院或在野外来访问来自远程位置的数据库的标记读取器。个人数字助理(PDA)是典型地用作个人备忘记事本的手持设备，并且可以具有许多用途，例如计算，用作时钟和日历，玩计算机游戏，访问因特网，发送和接收电子邮件，用作收音机或立体声，视频记录，记录笔记，用作地址簿，以及用作电子表格。示例性的标记读取器可以具有显示器116。示例性标记读取器112可以具有提供在被配置为手持的壳体117内的多个子系统。例如，读取器可以具有手持部分111。
示例性的标记读取器可以直接或通过充电站或基站138通信(有线或无线)到本地事务处理系统140，例如收款机、顾客站或雇员站或本地主机/服务器122。示例性本地服务器122或标记读取器112可以与网络120和或远程/网络服务器134通信。
参考图2，示例性标记读取器112可以包括多个示例性子系统，例如用于读取目标T上的标记的激光扫描引擎380或激光扫描读取器系统。该激光扫描读取器系统可以包括用于控制激光发生器388的激光控制器384，激光发生器388用于生成指向折叠式镜390的激光光束，折叠式镜390然后将该激光光束指向震荡的或旋转的扫描镜392来投射扫描图案到目标T上。该激光扫描图案反射离开该目标并通过扫描镜392重新定向到接收路径，其包括激光光通滤波器396，光电二极管400，放大器404以及数字转换器408。
激光可以被描述为空间相干的，窄低发散的光束。
数字转换器408可以将光电二极管输出的模拟信号转换成表示从目标反射离开的光的数字信号。
示例性激光扫描器使用激光束作为光源并使用往复式镜或旋转棱镜使激光束来回扫描通过IBI。用一个或多个光电二极管来测量从条形码反射回来的光的强度。由读取器发射的光随数据图案在亮度上迅速改变，并且该光电二极管接收电路被设计为仅检测具有相同调制模式的信号。
示例性光电探测器或光电传感器可以由一个或多个光电二极管组成，光电二极管将入射的光能量转换为表示反射离开IBI的光的输出信号的电荷。可以利用一个或多个函数或算法来处理该光电探测器的输出，以适当地调节该信号以用于进一步下游处理，包括对IBI解码。
示例性标记读取器112可以包括用于读取目标T上的标记的一个或多个光学图像引擎(图像标记读取器系统或光学扫描引擎)610。光学图像引擎获取并读取图像来检测和解码位于被获取的图像内的IBI。该光学图像标记读取器系统可以包括用于用具有照射图案形式的非相干光的束或图案照射IBI的一个或多个照射源618，以及用于将从具有在上面提供了IBI的目标T反射离开的光转换成其代表性输出信号的图像传感器626。该图像传感器的输出信号可以利用一个或多个函数或算法来处理以适当地调节该信号以用于进一步下游处理，包括IBI解码。
示例性图像传感器转换从目标反射离开的光或其他电磁能量并提供表示其的输出信号。图像传感器可以是适配为在全局快门或全帧快门模式中操作，或交替地在滚动快门模式中操作的像素阵列。它可以是彩色的、黑白的或单色的2D固态图像传感器，其在任何CCD、CMOS、NMOS、PMOS、CID、CMD、背照射技术中实施。该成像器可以能够在逐行扫描或隔行扫描模式中操作。该图像传感器可以包含将入射光能量转换为电荷的光敏光电二极管(或像素)阵列。许多固态图像传感器还允许图像数据的全帧的区域都被寻址。
由外壳支持的其它示例性读取器子系统或组件可以包括一个或多个本地或(一个或多个)板载处理器170，本地存储器172，电池218，显示器116，键盘214以及无线通信模块180。该子系统可以经由一个或多个总线168、数据线或其他信号或数据通信形式来通信。该标记读取器可以与一个或多个主机处理器118，本地主机/服务器122，本地存储器166，网络120或远程服务器主机/服务器134通信。
通信模块180可以提供从成像读取器112到其他标记读取器或到例如服务器/远程处理器134的其他系统的通信链路。
该(一个或多个)处理器可以与其他子系统一起位于板上或在外壳内。该(一个或多个)处理器以及该读取器的功能性的详细说明可以由或基于某种配置设置或可以存储在固件、远程或本地存储器中的数据来确定。配置设置可以布置为存储的参数表格。
示例性处理器可以是具有片上控制器设备的混合信号阵列，该片上控制器设备被设计为将多个传统的基于MCU系统组件替换成一个单芯片可编程设备。它可以包括模拟和数字逻辑的可配置块，以及可编程互连。
读取器中的子系统可以由一个或多个总线168、数据线或其他信号或数据通信形式相连。示例性形式可以是例如双线接口(TWI)的IC间总线，专用数据总线，RS232接口，USB等。
该(一个或多个)处理器可以包括用于存储固件和数据的预定量的存储器。该固件可以是软件程序或嵌入在或编程到该(一个或多个)处理器上的一组指令，该处理器提供用于该(一个或多个)处理器是如何操作和与其他硬件通信的必要的指令。该固件可以被存储在该(一个或多个)处理器的闪存(ROM)中作为二进制图像文件并且可以被擦除和重写。该固件可以被认为是“半永久式”，因为它保持不变，除非被更新。这种固件更新或载入可以通过设备驱动器来处理。
该(一个或多个)处理器可以用来执行多个功能性操作，其可以包含执行多个相关的步骤，其详细说明可以由特定配置设置或基于该特定配置设置确定，该特定配置设置被存储在可以是多个存储器类型(例如RAM、ROM、EEPROM等)中的任一种的固件或存储器中。另外，一些存储器功能可以被存储在提供为该(一个或多个)处理器一部分的存储器中。
该(一个或多个)处理器的示例性功能可以是扫描引擎的控制操作，解码功能以及操作员接口功能。可以使用操作软件来看起来像同步地或以多任务角色为这样的功能操作该(一个或多个)处理器。示例性图像读取器操作软件架构可以被组织成执行的线程或过程。
在位于读取器外壳内的扫描引擎中或在相关的电路板上可以提供执行或控制示例性扫描以及解码功能的(一个或多个)处理器，存储器以及相关的电路。解码是用来描述对包含在光电探测器输出信号中的机器可读代码的解释的术语。
该(一个或多个)处理器的示例性功能可以解码在目标或获取的图像中提供的机器可读符号体系。一维符号体系可以包括非常大到极端小，128码，交叉2-5码，库德巴码(codabar)，93码，11码，39码，UPC，EAN，MSI，或其他1D符号体系。堆叠的1D符号体系可以包括PDF，16K码，49码，或其他堆叠的1D符号体系。2D符号体系可以包括Aztec，数据矩阵，马克西码，QR码，或其他2D符号体系。
可在用户或工厂可选关系中执行以扫描子程序的解码操作可以由参数或配置设置来管理。扫描以及解码参数一起的组合定义读取器将使用的扫描-解码关系或模式。两种示例性模式可以是连续的或不连续的。在连续模式(也称为连续扫描模式，连续流模式，流模式，飞跃式扫描模式，联机(on the fly)扫描模式或呈现模式)中，该读取器以固定的方式被保持并且目标(例如位于包上的符号)由读取器传递。在该连续模式中，读取器采用连续地扫描一个接一个(依次地)并连续地解码或试图解码一些或所有被扫描的目标。不连续模式是一种模式，其中扫描和/或解码停止或被中断，并且初始化于启动事件，例如扣动单个扣动扳机115，超时，或成功的读取以重启。不连续模式中读取器的示例性使用是经由手持操作的。一旦该标记读取器不再被触发，则解码停止。该不连续模式被典型地初始化，因为该操作员知道出现了符号。
示例性标记读取器可以使用存储器或固件来存储特定读取器设置或读取器配置设置。示例性配置设置可以是选择扫描距离，触发器功能，基于扫描输入的预先定义的条形码输出数据，连续的扫描模式，不连续的扫描模式或子程序，解码模式或子程序，I/O配置，符号体系实现，输出接口功能，最小/最大符号体系字符长度，扫描引擎选择，照射功能，影响该(一个或多个)处理器的功能性操作的设置(其代码能用于处理)，瞄准器操作，引擎取向，照射，光电传感器功能，软件控制，出售追踪或担保追踪，读取器性能等。
读取器和主机系统可以装配有自动地询问和通信数据的能力，例如配置设置或彼此之间的固件。从主机到读取器更新固件并复制配置设置可以不需要人干预来执行以确保读取器是在相同修订上操作并具有相同的配置设置来降低用户挫折、故障时间、数据完整性并增加效率。
在预定时间间隔，主机系统可以广播各种信息，例如固件修订，配置设置等。主机接着可以下载较新的文件并在不活动时间期间更新读取器。读取器可以使用板载存储器或固件闪存来存储特定配置设置。
读取器可以利用串联命令经由串联来配置。GUI接口可以用来创建或读取串联命令，例如可见菜单或类似的这种产品。这可以本地地，或者远程地通过或直接或通过网络(例如因特网)连接光学读取器到远程计算机并使得该远程计算机提供软件更新来执行。
软件更新对于从一个读取器到新的或其他读取器(可能不同的制造商)的迁移而言是必要的。如果被替换的该读取器的配置是匹配的或匹配它替换的装备的配置，更新可以被简化。
如果读取器软件被替换，该读取器可以具有自动地读出存储器中的配置设置信息并且允许该软件适配并使用不同控制方法或不同解码方法等的能力。
用于更新的示例性的实施例可以提供基于PC的软件工具以从目标读取器设备(被替换的一个)通过串联通信读出非缺省配置设置并接着将该相同的或等价的设置闪存(flash)到替换装备中。这可以被认为是直接配置映射方法，即，在(旧)设备A上读取配置设置并闪存它们到(新)设备B。
另一个示例性的实施例可以提供基于PC的软件工具，其分析来自目标读取器(被替换的一个)的已知的信息承载标记的输出扫描数据并将它与来自替换读取器的输出扫描数据比较。该软件工具可以解释现有设备是如何基于两组扫描数据之间的区别来配置的。替换读取器的配置设置被添改后，该软件工具将配置该替换读取器来匹配旧的或替换读取器。这可以被认识是间接映射，其中该软件工具从它的操作添改了现有设备的内部设置，而不是通过从存储器或固件直接读出。
任一示例性实施例可以与跨浏览器、客户端DHTML菜单生成器例如可见菜单整合。读取器的配置可以被读出一次并且接着利用无线或经网络配置实用工具，硬拷贝或视频播放菜单操作或其他适合的方式传播许多次。
用户可以利用远程更新系统更新或替换一个或多个存储的配置设置或配置设置数据，这可以通过或直接或通过网络(例如因特网)将读取器连接到远程处理器来实现。利用适合的软件，该远程处理器可以被编程以从该读取器读取特定配置设置，例如软件配置。该远程处理器可以读取该配置设置数据并当下载更新或新的软件时，利用该数据。操作员可以从远程处理器请求软件更新。该请求将由任一计算机接收，其能够读取驻留在光学读取器上的当前软件配置并确定适合的更新或替换软件。
某些条形码符号体系类型具有特殊的数据码字或特征，其识别它们以便用于配置。利用这些码字或特征创建的条形码一般被称为配置条形码，菜单操作条形码，或菜单操作信息承载标记(IBI)。典型地，扫描设备将伴随手册，其具有配置条形码，在该手册中其用来具体地配置该设备。包含在该配置条形码中的数据被用来识别哪个设置进行寻址，以及什么值来载入以用于该设置。在一些情况下，如果该设置具有非常大的可接受值的范围，多个配置条形码(其中一个配置条形码寻址该设置并且其中一个或多个其他的配置条形码定义该值)被连续扫描来配置该设置。
在示例性的实施例中，标记读取器可以通过从用户应用(即，非菜单操作条形码)读取IBI来配置以配置该读取器用于在它们的应用中的设定。
参考图3，在步骤310中，配置标记读取器的示例性方法包括用户扫描菜单操作条形码或经由接口(有线或无线的)通信到该读取器以将该扫描器置于“设定”模式。该设定模式配置该读取器以允许解码数量为N的符号体系的集合。集合N的大小应当足够大以允许用户扫描操作员希望成为它们的扫描应用的一部分的所有条形码。
步骤314中，用户扫描将要成为它们的应用的一部分的条形码。这些是当读取器在用户应用中操作时用户将想要扫描的符号体系。
在设定模式中被扫描的码不是菜单操作条形码，而是当扫描器处于使用模式或操作模式时用户希望能够在条形码的应用中扫描的实际数据条形码。这些数据条形码可以称为用户使用条形码或用户使用信息承载标记(IBI)。基于步骤314期间扫描的用户使用条形码创建配置设置集合并且可以包括可以从用户使用条形码的扫描和解码中提取的所有信息，例如符号体系类型、长度、大小或其他潜在有用的数据。
一旦用户已经扫描了表示将在使用应用中看到的该条形码特征的所有用户使用条形码，则步骤318中，该用户将扫描菜单条形码，或经由接口通信到读取器以使得该读取器从“设定”模式出来并进入使用模式或操作模式。此时，读取器可以采用基于扫描的条形码创建的配置，并将它们存储在读取器存储器中。设定模式期间收集的数据可以用来限制被解码的条形码的长度(确保仅在“设定”模式中看到的给定的符号体系的长度范围被允许读取)，基于条形码的大小/分辨率调整我们的解码的攻击性(aggressiveness)，使得该读取器仅读取那些被扫描的符号体系等。在示例性实施例中，与设定模式相比，操作模式中的该扫描设备中的使能的符号体系的数量更小或相等。即，X＜＝N，这里N是设定模式中使能的符号体系的数量，而X是离开设定模式之后使能的符号体系的数量。
将该设备置于设定模式中的其他方法可以基于时间量。如果设备被触发，或被使能以扫描条形码数据，并且当没有条形码被读取而该设备正扫描的时候流逝了一时间量，则该设备自动地可以进入图3中310所示的设定模式。此时，用户将扫描上文中参考图3的314描述的用户使用条形码。接着当用户未触发该设备，或禁用扫描条形码，并且当设备未扫描时流逝了一时间量时，该设备接着回到操作模式(步骤318)，在设定模式中时被被扫描的符号体系现在在操作模式期间被使能用于读取。进入设定模式和退出设定模式所需要流逝的时间量可以依赖地或独立地配置。
一旦该设备退出步骤318，该设备已经按步骤314期间扫描的每个条形码或IBI进行了配置。该设备接着可以用于用户应用，其在步骤322中示出，以扫描该设备已经配置来做的用户使用条形码。
这种示例性过程不需要用户理解条形码符号体系，或伴随其其的任何特征。
在设备处于设定模式的时间期间，该设备可以被配置以便从条形码扫描的该数据不会经由接口被输出。
可以被输入以补充设定扫描的符号体系的附加配置设置可以是来实现核查字符，附加模式以及其他解码外围设备的指令。
