Abstract:
1. A datacode reading apparatus comprising: an image sensing device which senses a datacode attached to an item of merchandise and outputs moving image data; a display; an image display unit which displays the moving image data output from the image sensing device on the display as a real-time moving image; a decoding unit which decodes the datacode based on the moving image data output from the image sensing device; a stopping unit which stops outputting the moving image data from the image sensing device together with decoding of the datacode by the decoding unit; a still image creating unit which extracts image data from the moving image data output from the image sensing device and creates a still image including the datacode, when the stopping unit stops outputting the moving image data; and a still image keeping unit which keeps the display continuously displaying the still image created by the still image creating unit for a predetermined time and inhibits continuous reading of the datacode of the same code for the predetermined time.
