Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling a device for reading machine-readable code. A processor, configured by a strike application program monitors for a strike against a surface of the device. The strike is caused by a user either striking the device against a non-device surface or striking the surface of the device without necessarily engaging a button, a capacitive surface, or a resistive surface of the device. The strike comprising a detected strike is detected. An identifying characteristic of the detected strike is determined and it is determined if the detected strike having the identifying characteristic correlates to a particular scan-related operation of the device. The particular scan-related operation correlating to the detected strike having the identifying characteristic is executed in response to determining that the detected strike having the identifying characteristic correlates to a particular scan-related operation.

Claim (Index 9):
The device according to  claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify at least one additional identifying characteristic of the detected strike in an instance in which the detected strike represents an unintended drop of the device so as to differentiate an intentional strike on the device from the unintended drop.
