Abstract:
A method of actuating a barcode reading platform by combining omnidirectional laser scanning and area-imaging approaches to trigger an imaging assembly in response to sensing laser pulses reflected and/or scattered by surrounding objects is disclosed. Specifically, a method of capturing an image of a barcode with a barcode scanner focuses on actuating a laser scanning system, illuminating an object with optical laser beam pulses, detecting laser beams reflected and/or scattered by the object, transmitting and analyzing a signal indicative of the detected laser beams to determine a presence of the object, and actuating a barcode reading platform.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of capturing an image of a barcode with a hybrid scanner, comprising:\n actuating a laser scanning system of a hybrid scanner; illuminating an object with one or more pulses of an optical laser beam generated by a laser scanning assembly disposed within the hybrid scanner; detecting one or more laser beams reflected and/or scattered by the object; transmitting a signal indicative of the detected reflected and/or scattered laser beams; analyzing the transmitted signal to determine a presence of the object by comparing a level of the reflected and/or scattered laser beams with a predetermined threshold; automatically actuating an imaging system of the hybrid scanner; and capturing an image of the barcode.
