MULTIPLE BARCODE PROCESSING APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

Various embodiments of apparatus, systems, and methods operate to identify, by a scanning device, whether barcode data includes one of a primary type or a secondary type. Additional activity includes reconfiguring the scanning device to receive secondary barcode data when the primary type comprises a non-standalone primary barcode, reporting a standalone secondary barcode of the secondary type to a transaction processing system, and buffering a non-standalone secondary barcode of the secondary type. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a scanning device, whether barcode data includes one of a primary type or a secondary type based on one or more rules that designate a barcode captured by the scanning device as either a primary or secondary barcode; reconfiguring the scanning device to receive secondary barcode data when the primary type comprises a non-standalone primary barcode; reporting a standalone secondary barcode of the secondary type to a transaction processing system; and buffering a non-standalone secondary barcode of the secondary type.
