Techniques for optimization of barcodes

摘要

Techniques for optimization of barcode processing are presented. Barcode configuration data is distributed from a server service to a mobile client device. The mobile client device includes an application to inspect the capabilities of mobile client device and render the barcode configuration data into a barcode that is optimally scanned from the mobile client device when presented on a display of the mobile client device.

1. A processor-implemented method programmed in a non-transitory processor-readable medium and to execute on a device configured to execute the method, comprising:
receiving barcode control information from a barcode distributor; acquiring current image and current resolution settings from the device and acquiring limits on capabilities from the device for image and resolution settings by using an Application Programming Interface (API) for an Operating System (OS) of the device; and translating the barcode control information into a barcode image on the device for access from the device by changing the current image and current resolution settings within the limits and once the barcode image is read by a barcode reader, resetting the device back to the current image and the current resolution settings.
