Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
operating a motion sensor of a scanning device to detect motion being imparted to the scanning device when the scanning device is in a low power state;
in response to the detection of motion being imparted to the device, transitioning the device out of the low power state by performing operations comprising:
operating a distance detector of the scanning device to determine the distance between the scanning device and a surface; and
determining, by a processor of the scanning device, and based at least on the distance between the scanning device and the surface, whether to operate an infrared detector of the scanning device to capture a temperature of the surface, and whether to operate an image sensor of the scanning device to capture an image of an indicia that encodes data on the surface;

operating the light source of the scanning device to illuminate the surface;
monitoring an indicia scan trigger of the scanning device to detect manual operation thereof; and
in response to detection of the manual operation of the indicia scan trigger, performing operations comprising:
operating the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia using illumination from the light source;
decoding, by the processor, the indicia to retrieve the data encoded therein; and
operating a transceiver of the scanning device to transmit the decoded data to another device.
