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 8):
A device comprising:\n an inertia-based sensor; an input-output subsystem; a processor, communicatively coupled to the inertia-based sensor and, the input-output subsystem, wherein the processor is configured to:\n detect a strike against an external surface of the device, the strike caused by an intentional strike by a user with a touch input on the external surface of the device; \n determine an identifying characteristic of the detected strike; \n determine a correlation between the identified characteristic of the detected strike and a pre-defined operation of the device; and \n execute the pre-defined operation in response to the determined correlation.
