PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a barcode scanning system which is not bulky, is intuitive to use, is resident on a wearable device, and can communicate with, or be part of, a larger system.SOLUTION: A smartwatch comprises: an embedded camera; barcode decoding software; a user interface system comprising a visual display on the smartwatch; and a processor communicatively coupled to the camera, the user interface system, and the barcode decoding software. The processor is configured for a barcode scanning and decoding operation. The barcode scanning and decoding operation is configured for: triggering a view finder on the smartwatch; aligning a barcode in the view finder; capturing images of the barcode aligned in the view finder with the camera; feeding the barcode images to the barcode decoding software; and sending the decoded barcode information to the visual display.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
