Abstract:
An indicia-reading system is provided that incorporates a hybrid approach to decoding indicia such as barcodes. An indicia-capturing subsystem acquires information about indicia within the indicia-capturing subsystem's field of view. An indicia-decoding module decodes indicia information acquired by the indicia-capturing subsystem. The indicia-decoding module includes a primary, basic signal processor for initially decoding indicia information, and a secondary, advanced signal processor for decoding indicia information that is not decoded by the primary, basic signal processor.

Claim (Index 1):
An indicia-reading method, comprising:\n acquiring, by an indicia-reading system, information about indicia, the indicia-reading system having an operating range; until the indicia information is successfully decoded, attempting to decode the indicia information via a primary, basic signal processor while substantially simultaneously attempting to decode the indicia information via a secondary, advanced signal processor; one of the primary, basic signal processor and the secondary, advanced signal processor successfully decoding the indicia information before the other one of the primary, basic signal processor and the secondary, advanced signal processor successfully decodes the indicia information; if the primary, basic signal processor, successfully decodes the indicia information, transmitting an instruction to the secondary, advanced signal processor to interrupt the process of decoding of the indicia information at the secondary, advanced signal processor; and if the secondary, advanced signal processor, successfully decodes the indicia information, transmitting an instruction to the primary, basic signal processor to interrupt the process of decoding of the indicia information at the primary, basic signal processor; wherein the secondary, advanced signal processor is configured for executing a more complex signal-processing algorithm than the primary, basic signal processor.
