The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 61/908,204 for an Indicia-Reading System filed Nov. 25, 2013. The foregoing patent application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to the field of indicia-reading systems and, more specifically, to indicia-reading systems having an indicia-reading apparatus with wireless charging capability.
Time spent waiting in checkout lines is a leading cause of customer dissatisfaction in retail shopping. Accordingly, retailers are continually seeking to improve the customer checkout experience.
A large percentage of retailers, notably grocery stores and general consumer merchandisers, rely on barcode technology to improve the efficiency and reliability of the checkout process. When entering pricing information at the point-of-sale, a product barcode is scanned by a barcode scanner and the product price is entered into the point-of-sale system.
Generally, a cashier scans items selected for purchase using an in-counter scanner (e.g., a bi-optic scanner). During the checkout process, an auxiliary hand-held indicia-reading apparatus may also be used by the cashier to provide additional flexibility (e.g., for coupon checking, loyalty card scanning, or shopping cart scanning). For instance, when a customer selects a large item for purchase that is impractical to lift and scan using an in-counter scanner, the cashier may use the auxiliary hand-held indicia-reading apparatus to provide convenient service.
Traditionally, the auxiliary hand-held indicia-reading apparatus was wired to the in-counter scanner using cords for power and communication. For maximum ease of use, however, wireless hand-held indicia readers having a rechargeable battery and a recharging base were developed. Wireless communication could be used between the portable hand-held unit and the in-counter unit in order to exchange information.
Although wireless communication may be used to exchange information between the portable hand-held indicia reader and the in-counter unit or register, a charging base is still needed in order to charge the portable unit. The charging base may be in a location that is not easy for the cashier to reach from the checkout station or it may occupy counter space on or around the in-counter unit. In any event, the requirement of a charging base is a tradeoff between efficiency and convenience.
Therefore, a need exists for improved indicia-reading systems having a hand-held reading apparatus with wireless charging capability.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention embraces an exemplary indicia-reading system.

FIG. 1 is an exemplary indicia-reading system according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating certain components of an exemplary indicia-reading system according to the present invention
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating certain components of an exemplary wireless charging system according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating certain components of an exemplary wireless indicia reader according to the present invention.
The present invention embraces indicia-reading systems and, more specifically, indicia-reading systems including wireless indicia readers. The term indicia as used herein is intended to refer broadly to various types of machine-readable indicia, including barcodes, QR codes, matrix codes, 1D codes, 2D codes, RFID tags, characters, etc. The indicia are typically graphical representations of information (e.g., data) such as product numbers, package tracking numbers, or personnel identification numbers. The use of indicia readers to input data into a system, rather than manual data entry, results in generally faster and more reliable data entry.
The indicia-reading systems of the present invention may embrace various kinds of devices used to read indicia, such as hand-held barcode scanners, fixed-position omni-directional barcode scanners, pen-type readers, laser scanners, CCD readers, imaging scanners, and mobile devices like smartphones that are equipped to read indicia, and similar devices.
The present indicia-reading systems improve the customer checkout process and the retail shopping experience. In particular, the systems permit a user (i.e., a checkout operator, cashier, etc.) to perform checkout or other related tasks that may be performed using a hand-held indicia-reading apparatus (e.g., coupon checking, loyalty card scanning, and check scanning) without the burden of a wire or a charging base.
An exemplary indicia-reading system, equipped with appropriate hardware and software, incorporates magnetic resonance based wireless charging. Base-free charging can save space at the point-of-sale and add convenience for the operator.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary indicia-reading system 100 according to the present invention. As shown, the system 100 is implemented at a point-of-sale location.
The exemplary system 100 includes a bi-optic indicia reader 101 incorporated into a checkout counter 110 (i.e., a point-of-sale terminal) with indicia-reading paths at locations “A” and “B.” The system 100 also includes an auxiliary hand-held indicia reader 101C shown at location “C.” Although a trigger-type hand-held indicia reader 101C is shown, various kinds of devices that read indicia may be used (e.g., hand-held indicia readers such as pen-type readers and mobile devices like smartphones).
In some instances, the indicia-reading system 100 may include laser scanning subsystems that sweep light beams (e.g., a laser beam) across a scan path (i.e., a field of view), and then receive the optical signals that reflect or scatter off the indicium. Typically, the optical signal is received using a photoreceptor (e.g., photodiode) and is converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is an electronic representation of the indicia information (e.g., the data represented by the indicia). When in the form of an electrical signal, this information can be processed (e.g., decoded) by an indicia-decoding subsystem.
In other instances, the indicia-capturing subsystem may include an imaging subsystem or some combination of an imaging subsystem and a laser scanning subsystem. The imaging subsystem captures digital images of objects within the subsystem's field of view. When the indicia information takes the form of a digital image, the indicia information is typically processed by an indicia-decoding subsystem through the use of image-processing software (e.g., optical character recognition (OCR) technology), which can both identify the presence of indicia in the digital image and decode the indicia.
With reference to FIG. 1, exemplary indicia reader 101 includes a housing 111 and a keypad 112. Indicia reader 101 may also include a front-wall 115. As shown, front wall 115 extends upwardly in a generally vertical direction. Scan window 114A is disposed within front wall 115. Similarly, scan window 114B is disposed in housing 111 on a horizontal plane.
At location “C,” hand-supportable housing 111C of hand-held indicia reader 101C is shown having a trigger style form factor. The exemplary hand-held indicia reader's housing 111C has a head portion 116 that is provided with a light transmission window 117. The light transmission window 117 may include a laser (e.g., infrared) and/or an image reading sensor that is utilized for reading symbols, images, and the like. Manually actuated trigger switch 112C may be depressed to activate the indicia-reading module and corresponding indicia-decoding subsystem. Trigger 112C of hand-held indicia reader 101C and keypad 112 of indicia reader 101 can be regarded as a user interface of indicia-reading system 100.
Referring now to FIG. 2, certain components of exemplary indicia-reader 101 are shown in block diagram format. Indicia reader 101 may include one or more light sensing assemblies (i.e., indicia-capturing subsystems). In the particular embodiment of FIG. 2, indicia-reader 101 includes first laser based light sensing assembly 211A and second laser based light sensing assembly 211B. Indicia-reading apparatus 101 can have fewer (e.g., one or more) or more (e.g., 5 or more) light sensing assemblies with any combination of technology (e.g., laser-based or image-sensor-based indicia-capturing subsystems, including necessary hardware and software).
Referring to the indicia-reader as shown at FIG. 2, laser based light sensing assembly 211A can include a laser assembly 212A, a rotating reflector 213A, and a photo detector assembly 216A. Rotating reflector 213A can be rotated by the use of motor 214A. Laser assembly 212A can include a laser light source in combination with laser light shaping optics. Light emitting from laser assembly 212A, which propagates along a scan path 215A, can be reflected from rotating reflector 213A and directed to detector assembly 216A. For generation of one or more scan paths, the rotating reflector 213A can be replaced by an alternative structure (e.g. a pivoting reflector).
Photodetector assembly 216A can receive light reflected from objects intersecting the scan paths and can generate data representing the reflected light. Photodetector assembly 216A can include, in one embodiment, an integrated amplifier, and an analog to digital converter.
Light sensing assembly 211A can output a signal. A photodetector of photodetector assembly 216A may output a signal in the form of an analog signal, an amplifier of assembly 216A may output a signal in the form of an amplified analog signal, and an analog to digital converter within photo detector assembly 216A may output a signal in the form of a digital signal, which can be routed to memory 217 for processing by CPU 218 (e.g., for attempting to decode decodable indicia). Emitted and received laser light can be directed through scan window 114A.
Laser light can reflect off an object positioned in front of scan window 114A and can travel along an axis in a receiving direction back to detector assembly 216A. When the object includes a barcode, the light can strike areas of dark and white bands and can be reflected.
Detector assembly 216A includes a detector. An amplifier and analog to digital converter can receive the reflected beam of variable intensity, generate an analog signal corresponding to the reflected beam, and convert it to a digital signal for storage into memory 217 where it can be processed by a CPU 218 in accordance with a program stored in non-volatile memory.
While light sensing assembly 211A is depicted as including a certain number of elements, the assembly can be provisioned with fewer than or greater than the depicted number of elements.
Referring to laser scanning based light sensing assembly 211B, the laser based light sensing assembly can have elements 212B, 213B, 214B, 215B, and 216B, which operate in the manner of corresponding elements 212A, 213A, 214A, 215A, and 216A of laser based light sensing assembly 211A. Regarding scan windows 114A and 114B, the scan windows may include light transmissive glass or polycarbonate.
Referring to further aspects of the exemplary indicia-reading system 100, indicia reader 101 can include central processing unit (CPU) 218 for processing digital signals output by one or more light sensing assemblies (i.e., an indicia-decoding subsystem). The indicia reader 101 may also include random access memory (RAM) 217, a read only memory 219, and a storage memory 220 (e.g., flash memory, a hard drive, etc.). Indicia reader 101 can further include a direct memory access controller DMA 221 which can operate to efficiently route a digital signal output by one or more light sensing assemblies of indicia reader 101 to memory 217.
For attempting to decode a bar code symbol (e.g., a one dimensional bar code symbol), CPU 218 can process digital signal image data. The data corresponds to a line of pixel positions (e.g., a row, a column, or a diagonal set of pixel positions) in the case of an image-sensor-array-based light sensing assembly, or otherwise a digital signal representing an indicia corresponding to a scan path 215A, 215B in the case of a laser-scanning-based light sensing assembly 211A, 211B to determine a spatial pattern of dark and light cells. The CPU 218 can convert each light and dark cell pattern determined into a character or character string via table lookup.
Where a decodable indicia representation is a 2D bar code symbology, a decode attempt can comprise the steps of locating a finder pattern using a feature detection algorithm, locating matrix lines intersecting the finder pattern according to a predetermined relationship with the finder pattern, determining a pattern of dark and light cells along the matrix lines, and converting each light pattern into a character or character string via table lookup.
Regarding CPU 218, CPU 218 may run an operating system (OS) and a plurality of applicable device drivers via a communication interface 400. CPU 218 is coupled to system bus 300.
Indicia reader 101 can include a power supply 500 that supplies power to a power grid 504 to which electrical components (e.g., integrated circuits), including wireless charging system 20, can be connected. Power supply 500 can be coupled to various power sources (e.g., a battery 501), a serial interface 502 (e.g., USB RS232), and/or an AC/DC transformer 503. With reference to FIG. 2, a dashed border illustrates housing 111 with components depicted within the dashed border being components disposed within housing 111.
Referring now to FIG. 3, certain components of an exemplary magnetic resonance based wireless charging system 20 are set forth in block diagram format. Unlike existing inductive chargers based on tightly coupled magnetic induction, magnetic resonance charging alleviates the need for tight coupling, which in turn provides benefits for the indicia-reading systems of the present invention. Thus, although other charging systems could be used with the exemplary indicia-reading system 100 (e.g., magnetic induction), magnetic resonance charging can provide benefits.
One benefit is flexibility in the relative orientations between the charging station and the hand-held unit during operation. Additionally, a single source can be used to transfer energy to more than one device, even when the devices have different power requirements. Further, given the ability to operate at lower magnetic coupling values, the respective sizes of the source and device resonators are not constrained, and the distances between source and device may be larger. In one instance, for example, the transmission coil can be embedded under the countertop scanner's housing, the charging coil has a higher tolerance for misalignment, the transfer distance between the auxiliary unit and charging coil can be longer, and multiple portable indicia-reading devices may be charged through the same charging fixture.
Wireless charging system 20 includes an AC/DC adapter 26 to convert AC power (e.g., AC main power) into a DC voltage and a DC/RF amplifier 27 to convert the DC voltage into an amplified RF frequency. This frequency is tuned to the resonating coils' 22A, 22B resonant frequency. The RF signal from the amplifier 27 is coupled to the emitting coil 21 via an impedance matching network 25A to ensure good power transfer at the resonant frequency and to minimize reverse reflection that could damage the RF amplifier 27. The emitting coil is inductively coupled to the first resonating coil 22A. This coil is, in turn, coupled to the second resonating coil 22B through some physical separation. The receiving coil couples the received energy from the second resonating coil 22B into a RF/DC rectifier 28 via an impedance matching network 25B. The DC power is then fed to the indicia reader load 29 (e.g., an energy storage device).
A wireless communication module pair 24A, 24B is included in the respective transmission and receiving sides of the system 20 for data communication. The wireless communication may include, but is not limited to, ZigBee® and Bluetooth® protocols.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating hardware components of an embodiment of a wireless charging portable indicia reader 40 using a super capacitor (i.e., an ultracapacitor or electric double-layer capacitor) as a storage device rather than a traditional rechargeable battery. The super capacitor has advantages for portable indicia-reading application given its lower cost, fast and efficient charge/discharge due to small internal resistance (typical 98%-99% efficiency), long cycle life due to no reversible chemical interaction, and wide operating temperature range of around −40 to +70 degrees.
Wireless power is coupled between resonating coils (not shown in FIG. 4) and picked up by a receiving coil 41. The receiving coil's impedance is matched to the RF/DC rectifier using an impedance matching network 42. The super capacitor 44 is charged through RF/DC rectifier 43. Power management module 45 manages the voltage for indicia-reading modules such as optical source 46, signal condition circuitry 47, and processor 48. A wireless communication module 49 is used to communicate with a base (not shown in FIG. 4), such as indicia reader 101.
FIG. 1 is an embodiment of an exemplary indicia-reading system 100 of the present invention including a hand-held wireless charging indicia reader 101C. A wireless charging station 60 includes a magnetic resonance module and wireless communication module as depicted at FIGS. 3-4. As shown, the charging station 60 is mounted on the top tower (i.e., the hood) of the indicia reader housing 111, but the station 60 could be mounted on the side of the tower or at some other location. The station 60 could also be mounted under the checkout countertop 110.
As implemented in FIG. 1, the whole top tower or hood of the indicia reader housing 111 can become a charging surface (i.e., a charging zone). Multiple hand-held wireless charging indicia readers (not shown) of various types and configurations could charge and communicate through the same charging station 60. In this way, a traditional charging base is eliminated, space at the point-of-sale is maximized, and the system is more convenient for the operator
