Terminal with flicker-corrected aimer and alternating illumination |
摘要 |
An indicia reading terminal is disclosed that eliminates unwanted flickering effects in an illuminated screen reading mode, among other advantageous features. The indicia reading terminal, in response to a screen reading signal, is operative to activate a screen reading cycle. In the screen reading cycle, an imaging subsystem is activated at least once at the same time that an illumination subsystem is activated for one of a plurality of active illumination periods, for a first illuminated exposure period. The imaging subsystem is activated at least once while the illumination subsystem is not activated, for a first unilluminated exposure period, which is longer than the first illuminated exposure period. An aimer subsystem is activated for a plurality of active aimer periods when neither the imaging subsystem or the illumination subsystem is activated, wherein intervals of time between the active aimer periods are equal, within nominal tolerances. |

1. An indicia reading terminal comprising:
an illumination subsystem operative for projecting an illumination pattern; an aimer subsystem operative for projecting an aiming pattern; an imaging subsystem comprising an image sensor array and an imaging optics assembly operative for focusing an image onto the image sensor array; a housing encapsulating the illumination subsystem, the aimer subsystem, and the imaging subsystem; a memory capable of storing frames of image data representing light incident on the image sensor array; and a processor operative for addressing said memory, wherein said processor is operative to attempt to decode a decodable indicia represented in at least one of the frames of image data; wherein the indicia reading terminal, in response to a screen reading signal, is operative to activate a screen reading cycle, wherein:
the imaging subsystem is activated to acquire frames of image data at least once at the same time that the illumination subsystem is activated for one of a plurality of active illumination periods, for a first illuminated exposure period;the imaging subsystem is activated to acquire frames of image data at least once while the indicia reading terminal does not project illumination, for a first unilluminated exposure period, which is longer than the first illuminated exposure period; andthe aimer subsystem is activated for a plurality of active aimer periods when neither the imaging subsystem or the illumination subsystem is activated, wherein intervals of time between the active aimer periods are equal, within nominal tolerances. |
