Assignee: HAND HELD PRODUCTS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for proof of delivery, the apparatus comprising:
a hand-holdable housing comprising:
a near-field image sensor associated with a near field of view;
a far-field image sensor associated with a far field of view, wherein the near field of view is broader than the far field of view, and wherein the broader field of view comprises the near field of view; and
a processor configured, by computer-coded instructions accessible to the processor, to:
capture a first indicia image data object using the far-field image sensor, the first indicia image data object comprising a visual indicia;
decode the visual indicia to identify delivery information represented by the visual indicia;
in response to successfully decoding the visual indicia in the first indicia image data object, activate the near-field image sensor;
capture a delivery proof image data object using the near-field image sensor;
output, for processing as a proof of delivery, a combined data object generated based at least on the delivery proof image data object captured using the near-field image sensor and the first indicia image data object captured using the far-field image sensor;
in response to unsuccessfully decoding the visual indicia in the first indicia image data object, activate the near-field image sensor;
capture a second indicia image data object using the near-field image sensor;
decode the visual indicia in the second indicia image data object to identify delivery information represented by the visual indicia; and
in response to successfully decoding the visual indicia in the second indicia image data object, output, for processing as a proof of delivery, the second indicia image data object as the proof of delivery captured using the near-field image sensor.
