Claim 14:
15. A barcode-reading system, comprising:
a barcode-reading device comprising a barcode-reading device processor and a camera that is configured to capture images;
memory that is communicatively coupled to the barcode-reading device processor, the memory comprising: (i) a decoder that is executable by the barcode-reading device processor to decode barcodes in the images and generate decoded data, (ii) a usage log, (iii) event logging instructions that are executable by the barcode-reading device processor to record information related to the barcode-reading device in the usage log, and (iv) statistics generating instructions that are executable by the barcode-reading device processor to generate device statistics based at least in part on the usage log; and
a host computing device that is communicatively coupled to the memory, the host computing device comprising a host processor and host memory that is communicatively coupled to the host processor, the host memory comprising data collection instructions that are executable by the host processor to (a) retrieve the device statistics from the barcode-reading device, (b) send the device statistics to a remote server, and (c) erase the device statistics from the barcode-reading device after the device statistics have been sent to the remote server.
