Abstract:
1. An indicia-reading device, comprising: an indicia-capturing subsystem including a multi-element image sensor for capturing images of the indicia-capturing subsystem's field of view; an indicia-decoding subsystem configured for decoding indicia in the images captured by the indicia-capturing subsystem; a hand-mounted housing substantially enclosing the indicia-capturing subsystem and the indicia-decoding subsystem, wherein the hand-mounted housing comprises finger rings to attach to the user's middle and ring fingers so that, when a user makes a first and fully extends the user's index finger, the user's index finger and the indicia-capturing subsystem are pointed substantially in the same direction; and a non-mechanical trigger mechanism configured to initiate an indicia-reading sequence performed by the indicia-capturing subsystem and the indicia-decoding subsystem if the user's index finger is detected in the images captured by the indicia-capturing subsystem.
